    It Can't Be Just Me

    I still go to Derpibooru. I know some people have stopped, or at least stop having their art there, but it is still the most convenient way to see most mlp art (and not having to create an account for every art site under the sun). I also live out in the country, so there are many times when my internet can be spotty. There are times when I will be in the middle of something, and it will slow,

    Still Getting Attention For Some Reason

    So, it has been over a year since I last posted or updated a story (August 2021), and almost a year since I announced i was giving up on continuing any stories here. Yet, somehow, I am still getting notifications that people are liking my stories, and even occasionally getting new followers.

    I'm kind of curious as to why?

    Giving Up

    Well, I'm admitting defeat. The stories that I have here but have not finished are now officially cancelled. After all this time, it seems unlikely that I will be continuing to work on them. Sorry to those who were hoping that they would keep going, but hopefully you understand.

    MLP, D&D, and breath weapons

    Something I was thinking about the other day.

    In the show, we have dragons of numerous colors, but they all breathe fire. Some of them are of different colors, but it is fire all the same.

Taking a break · 8:00pm Sep 20th, 2020

Wow. Over seven years. Honestly, it doesn't seem like that long. Then again, it never does when one looks back.

I have decided to take a break from writing MLP stories. I feel like I have hit a bit of a burnout point with it, and need to work on some other things. I mean, my last story took me a month and a half, and there were times where I was writing maybe one or two sentences a day. And that doesn't include the ones that I haven't published or hated and deleted.

At the same time though, I enjoy writing and can't stop doing it completely. So, I am going to take some time to work on other ideas, including other fandoms, and hopefully some original work of my own.

First, I want to say that I'm not leaving completely. I will still drop in to see what's getting published, and read some of the stories that are around here.

Second, I don't plan on this being a permanent end to my writing MLP fiction. I still have lots of ideas that I want to explore, and Pony Life (IF THEY EVER SHOW IT HERE IN THE U.S.!) and G5 may bring new ideas and inspiration as well as new fans. So I do intend to come back eventually.

At the same time though, I have to acknowledge the possibility that I won't write here any more after this. Like I said, I have been writing MLP stories exclusively for over seven years, and that meant I excluded all other things I could have. That was no intentional though. I had always planned to keep working on other matters, but for some reason, MLP took up nearly all my attention.

Hopefully that won't happen.

Until next time.

Ink Hoof.
