College is hitting me hard which is why I have not been on lately, which is understandable.

Unfortunately I have lost my touch in my creative ways, and am sad to say that I am officially retired as a writer.

I've got too many things on my mind right now between finishing college, job hunting (again), what I am going to do next, where I am going to live, etc...

I'll still be around to read a story or two, but I am done with things for now.

Hey, everyone.

I unfortunately have to make the announcement that, while it goes against my desires, I'm likely done writing stories on this site. I don't have the spark in me to do it anymore. For a long time now, I've usually been going about my days without thinking about the activity, I rarely come up with new story ideas, and all of my attempts at writing were struggles that resulted in very little progress. That's why you don't see chapter updates from me anymore.

There is no need to explain stuff. I can't keep going, my head is terrified and stuck with non-helpful ideas; No idea what to do.

I retire as a writer. Well, not retire as in the actual word. I simply won't write here anymore. Probably not picking a story again, anywhere.

Thank you for the wonderful time I had here, and I hope all of you find what you are looking for.

See ya around,
Ashardu out.

After some thought, I feel that everyone deserves an explanation behind last week's abrupt and shocking announcement of Love-Making As A Parent being my "final story".

As some of my older followers know, I deal with clinical depression constantly. Occasionally, as most people with depression, I enter into these phases which I've dubbed "dark spirals". These "spirals" are the low points in my depression. Well, last Thursday, I got hit with a large one.

'Thalassophobia' Notes

-This story was inspired by my own very real, very deep fear. Ever since childhood, I've always been terrified of deep water. Probably stems from when I nearly drowned in a water park's wavepool when I was seven or eight. To this day, I can't physically get in water I can't see the bottom of without hyperventilating.

...at least from writing anything but my OC. Granted, I still plan to finish up any incomplete fics if I can, fulfill the backlog of requests I have, and do the sequels I planned, but otherwise I'll likely no longer take any new requests and only write what truly sparks me, if anything.

A swampy breeze rustles through the decrepit brick apartment complex. It is late night, and it is still humid. Humming, a small black car pulls in and parks at one of the townhouses. Hooves clip on the pavement as a pony slouches up the stoop and fumbles through the door. It blinks at the sudden wash of light from inside.

This announcement has been some time coming now, but I think now I should finally be the one to speak on the matter.

In my last post I said that I may hand over my stories to TimesX now this is just a possibility if my time to work on any story (including WIP's) is non-exsistant. Now this may be the case as I am going to be taking online college courses just so I can stay home and help my father. He is more important than writing. For those of you who want a time frame of when I might hand over my work to TimesX

Hey,Ive been thinking a lot about doing some "spring cleaning" and deleting old trashy fanfics on thise site and reviving the good ones. Thoughts?

Also I'm currently having some trouble figuring out whether or not to continue writing. Don't get me wrong, I love creating these worlds for you all to enjoy, but it seems that not a whole lot goes on via comments/pm's anymore.

Should I continue writing, or just hang up my coat and call myself retired from writing?

Please, let me know...

Yup, this is not a joke. Some stories havn't seen the light of day as many others, so I decided to get rid of some. Here's the list of stories I plan to throw in the bin:

Asgore's Newest Best Friend

Skull Kid & Discord's Day off

So, first thing's first. Thanks for all the follows!

I said a while back that I'd be halting the blogs about follower numbers, but 1500 seemed a little too big not to. Plus I'm also celebrating for another reason:

I actually had a DARK story reach the feature box! The very top of it for a bit. One called "The Mother Of Many Faces".

Hello my friends,
2017 has been one of the worst years of my life, and part of me believes 2018 will be worse. As it stands, I'm too exhausted. I realize I haven't written any stories in a very long time, and for that I apologize, but I was hoping the fire would come back. While I would occasionally get ideas for stories, I never had the time to see them through. Still, I held out hope. I now see that it will not happen, and to be honest, my heart just isn't in pone like it once was.
