    Cancelling The Enchanted Carousel, restarting as a new story

    Hi all!

    I've already made the announcement in other places, so I figured I might as well do it here, too, to cement the change.

    Hiatus on Story + Thoughts

    Hi all!

    Just letting you know this story will be hiatus'd for a bit.

    Not because I'm not writing anymore, but because life got in the way so I wasn't able to finish it all in a fugue state as I wanted, and the reality is right now... I am not in the headspace necessary to write it.

    Though, since I'm not doing that, I do at least want to talk about it.

    Okay, here we go.

    As some folks may know or have seen, I'm currently working on a story that is very important to me. It is still not finished, and will likely be updating in the next following days because I want to write it and get it done in one go.

    Quick Note re: contacting me!

    Hi all!

    I hope you're doing well.

    I've been meaning to say this for a while, but keep forgetting because my life has been a dumpster fire for the past year, but I did post a fic today so now's a good time as any!

    Re-uploaded Someone To Hold On To as a complete oneshot

    Hello!

    Just wanted to get ahead of any confusion for anyone following this story to say that I ended up doing a speedrun of the entire thing and then deleted the old chapters and just posted the entire complete story as a new chapter.

    That was it.

    I hope you have been well!

Usual Announcements and Deadlines + Last Resort · 8:26pm Dec 14th, 2020

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to give you all a quick update on things and life and writing and stuff.

The first thing is thank you all for being patient with the lack of content! This year has been rough, and work has kept me super busy, so I just wasn't In The Zone, as it were.

The other big thing, which I've mentioned before, is that I've been working on an original thing for a while. I'm actually the head writer of a comic that is being done with some artists (two of them of the horse fandom, one not) so we've all really been focusing on that. Patrons in my patreon server have been able to see some previews and concept art, and it's really shaping up to be really cool.

We're hoping to launch sometime next year, and a have a soft pre-launch in a few months so I'll promo that when the time comes.

Anyway, back to horse!

In the spirit of transparency, as I always try to keep with you all, I was really not feeling horse for a while. It was a combination of working on an original project, This Year, and just.... I don't know. I was having a hard time finding a reason to continue, and I saw myself making these blogposts where I kept trying to hype myself up for it, and I just wasn't feeling it.

Several acquaintances also Officially Left the fandom in the past few months, and cancelled their stories, so I was also being like "should I too??". However, after meditating it I just realized that Enchanted Kingdom will goddamn haunt me 'til I die if I don't finish it, so I will, though I allowed myself a big break to just... recuperate.

The break will go on for a bit more, because this month I want to focus on comic work, but I'm giving myself a soft deadline of January 10th for a TEK update. Crimson, if you follow that, will probably also update before that, but that's just because Crimson is easier to write for lol

And that's it!

Thank you all for your support, and I hope y'all have great holidays!

P.S. for those still interested in a book version of TEL, MoI is still taking pre-orders!

Glad you're taking time for yourself. You know we'll be here to cheer you on every step of the way.

Speaking as a fellow writer who has had this year kick their teeth in motivation wise? I understand needing a break and all that stuff.

Also, can't wait to see what this comic is! I bet it's going to be awesome :D

Do what you gotta do. We’ll be here. :heart:

Take your time Mono.

Take your time mono I'm sure you will come up with something brilliant :raritywink:

You should know by now, Mono that we are always here for you. Work and write on the projects that motivate you. We'll always be here to support you in all you do.

Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time

You would not forget the Bodyguard stories?

It's a wild ride.

Very interested in the comic! (Also, any further horsewords, but don't force yourself.)

Dude take all the time you need

Have a happy holidays! And take all the time you need :)

It is a little sad as neither have I been feeling like doing pony lately and the fact that many people feels this way just makes it worse

Your writing is one of the few things keeping me in the fandom :twilightsmile: Take care of yourself, the year is rough.
