Hello, fellow readers. It's me, EquestrianKnight97.

As you know, I have not made much progress with my story since September of 2019, which basically means that the story has been on hiatus for nearly a year. There are several reasons for why I haven't made other chapters as quickly as I had promised before (college work, writer's block, studying for my driver's license, etc.), but as I have graduated from college now, and plan to attend grad school in over a year. I now have enough time to truly work on my fanfic.

Looking back, though, I feel like the story I started off writing focused more on action/adventure and less on the lessons of friendship and morality, which I intended my story to truly be centered on. I know this is my story, and I can do whatever I want with it, but in the end of the day, I want to tell a story the emulates the message(s) portrayed in MLP:FIM concerning relationships and being our best selves; therefore, I have decided to rewrite my story. Some of the characters in the first and second chapters will be re-introduced, though their roles may be slightly different. Because I want to get my chapters out as quick as possible, I will try to set a maximum of 5000 words to each chapter, and if necessary I will try to segment chapters (e.g. Chapter 2.1, 2.2., 2.3, etc).

I am going to wait until the end of October to change the status of "A Knight's Tale" from Incomplete to Cancelled, to give others a chance to read the message in this chapter, especially those that don't visit FIMFiction that often. I plan to release my first chapter for the new story sometime during October. Continue to check on me to see when I release the rewritten story, and if you liked "A Knight's Tale", please follow me for any updates and other news.

As of now, I am currently working on a novel series, non-MLP, so my progress with the rewritten fanfic may not be so quick, but I do intend to keep working on it. Though the series is over after 9 seasons, I am still a dedicated brony, and I want to make some contribution to the MLP:FIM fandom. The story may take years to finish, but my love for the show and for my fellow bronies and pegasisters will hopefully motivate me to stay on track. 

Best to all,
Equestrian Knight
