To anyone out there still listening. Hi. I hope you're well, and safe. Obligatory 2020 is hell comment and all that jazz.

I'm doing well. Not amazing, but amazing is a hard trick to pull right now for any of us.

I sit here, trying to articulate the emotions I am feeling, and somehow convey them in words. And it's not going very well. I am failing.

So I'll instead begin with the informational side of things.

So I'm gathering together my disparate threads towards the next chapter and a friend has asked me a few really cogent questions about continuity.

So yeah, haven't been around much, been devoting a substantial chunk of my time and energy at pursuits that will improve my financial future. Developing a path that should see my needs well taken care of over the coming decades. Making my debts and financial worries more tractable, getting things to where I feel like I have a hold of them. No time for ponies, cept every now and then when I've a free evening to maybe read a story, or try some art, just enjoyment in small ways.

It apparently did not last for long, but it did happen last night!

I'm in shock.

Thank you, all you crazy readers of my rambling horsewerds.

That took a bit longer than I thought... what with my well breaking, and my water heater leaking and all the RL crud that cropped up. On my birthday weekend too!

*huff*

New chapter, new page breaks, and a new site to host my pics. I'll start fixing all the broken links soon.

For now, I hope you enjoy the chapter, and I think I've gotten past the setup and can get to the really fun parts now.

Thanks all,

Ashinda

Chapter 6 has gone through a re-edit since I'm months along from it and could not properly reconnect with a few of the ideas to polish them up. Now I have it in working format and one scene left to do to wrap it up. So gimme a weekend or two and I should have something for you.

Thank you for your patience with me.

Starting to be able to think ponies again. Medications are about balanced. Now figuring out how to draw all my threads together for six.

I was saving this sweet piece of cover art for release with the next chapter, but considering that's been so delayed, it's really not fair for the artist to withhold it any longer.

Just living day to day. Some days I feel better, other days I don't. New meds bring with them new side effects, which have to be coped with. Work is still work, to put bread on the table and sometimes a chance to do something fun. I'm here, just dormant atm while I try to recover the energy to press on with the story.

Thanks to all of you who have shown me support and kindness, I do appreciate it a great deal.

Hi guys,

Had a hypertensive crisis last night, which basically means my blood pressure got up into the 'so high you could stroke from it' range. So, for the foreseeable future, I am placing the story on hiatus as I get my health managed. This doesn't mean there will not be an update, but it means it will be an unintended surprise if there is one.

Sorry for doing this, but I am a firm believer that I should accurately reflect my status on here, not leave you all guessing.

Is at 4k words and not done yet. Real life has been busy and I find myself very brain tired a lot of the time. The writing comes in fits and starts and the story is taking shape, with more active roles for the Fel Seven as they begin their takeover.

Hi all,

Thanks for your patience, I am recovering well, and have been working on getting back into the groove. Have two chapters!

This will finish the slow starting buildup, and now events will begin to pick up pace with chapter 6.

Comments are of course appreciated.

Thanks again!

Ashinda

Hi guys.

Okay, so after visits to my doctor and a specialist, the health troubles I've been struggling with may be rather more serious than I thought and will require more treatment. Currently, I am extremely low energy and uncomfortable and finding it extremely difficult to write. I'll know more when the blood work and other tests come back but I think I am going to need more time before I can make a satisfactory update to Fel.

So sorry again, but y'know... health stuff is important.

RL has been a bit of a butt, winter storms, hurricane winds, frozen plumbing, sickness from too many freezing days handling the former, etc etc. Plus my paychecks are getting achingly lean in the off-season to handle it all.

That being said I do have 5000 words written, buuuut it's split between chapters 4 and 5. So what I am going to do is hold off on the next release for another week or so, and then do a double chapter release.

So Ashinda is currently roasting hotdogs on his graphics card. Should be getting a new one on the weekend, but this will likely delay release of the next chapter until he gets his compy back up and running.

So that's a thing.

Yaaaaaaay. :P

Here we go dear readers. Buckle up, we're going for a ride!
