I Rise Again Asking For Your Help (Reader Request Poll #2) · 3:50am Oct 7th, 2022

Hello everypony!!

*Crickets chirp and a lone tumbleweed rolls across the empty ground before the stage*

Eer, I guess to anypony that is still here after my looooooooooooong absence. I am ashamed to admit that I have let my fans down horribly these last several, several months. I have been so wrapped up in real world F:yay:ckery over the last year or more that the only honest assessment of my update status would be completely non-existent. I have seen your posts and comments asking about when the next update will be, and honestly, it broke me a little each time I saw a fan reading and enjoying my work, when I couldn't do anything to support that joy and desire for more.

Well no more!! I am DONE with my pity party and letting the whims of the world control what it is that I can and cannot do for my faithful fans!! And so, with great joy, I ask ALL OF YOU, my fans, however many that may remain, to help me get my spark back into gear and push me towards the stories that need my attention the most. I understand that I have done a Reader Request Poll in the past, but with times changing and new fans coming every day (or so I hope), I need current readers to give me their thoughts on what books need my attention the most.

The books that I am currently writing that are up for vote are as follows:

1) Battlestations: Equestrian Seas (13 Chapters, 48K Words)

2) Tides of Change (1 Chapter, 1700 Words)

3) Deliverance (5 Chapters, 14K Words)

4) A Thousand Winters' Past (2 Chapters, 7K Words)

5) A Wolf in Cybernetic Armor (21 Chapters, 102K Words)

6) The Love of a Hybrid (10 Chapters, 49K Words)

7) Hands of Life, Hooves of Death (38 Chapters, 257K Words)

And unlike the last Poll, where I was going to select the Top 3 stories to add to my update list, this time around there will be no such limitations. I will be simply going off of total votes for each title and begin updating the stories in that order, going from most votes down to the least with ties updated by oldest title first.

So please, lend me your voice!! Help me to direct this newfound drive and purpose to what YOU feel are the stories that need the update magic the most!! I will leave this post open for anyone to vote in the comments section or send me a PM with your THREE choices for the books you want to update the most!!

Either comment below or PM me your THREE choices for update votes, and I will tally the votes in both sections this coming Thursday 10/13/2022!! If I miss the deadline by a day or two please don't string me up by my tail, but be on the look out for the results post next week!!

I want to say it is good to be back, and with your help, I know I can once again be the author that you all love and deserve after all of the stress and waiting I have put you all through. Luna's moonlight guide you down your darkest roads, and may Celestia's sun inspire you to hope with each new dawn. I look forward to hearing from you all, and may I say, it is an honor and a privilege to be once again among you all in more than just a figment of what I once was.

See you all soon,
Shadow Quill, Messenger of the Moon.

It's awesome to see you back and and feeling better.
I'll vote
Hands of Lige, Hooves of Death
A Thousand Winters's Past
Tides of Change

Lovely to see you take up the mantle again. I’m only a relatively new reader to your work, but I love what I’ve read and I’m glad to see you continue. Finishing a story is hard work!

My vote is the same as Wolfsart honestly. Only had two stories in mind but if I had to choose a third... my votes go to

A Thousand Winter’s past,
Tides of Change,
and Hands of Life, Hooves of death.

They’re laden with potential and I trust you’ll do some great things with them. Also, no worries for being away for a while. If you can learn anything from me, time is relative! I was away for 8 years myself and came back to finish my work just recently haha.

1. Battlestations
2. Love of Hybrid
3. Thousand Winters

1. Hands Of Life, Hooves Of Death
2. Battlestations
3. Tides of change

Hands Of Life is the sole reason i found your wonderful works, and have been dying to see it continued. Thank you so much for writing it in the first place, as i rank it in my personal top 5 fics on this entire site.

1. Battlestations
2. Wolf in Cybernetic Armor
3. Free space for whatever you want, or a story that is close to completion.
Looking forward to more from you, whatever it may be!

Hands of Live Hooves of Death
Thousand Winters
And whatever you want I couldn’t choose between the rest as I read each book.
Love all of your stories so much glad to see that you are going to be writing again soon. :heart: :heart: :heart:
