I'm pulling the plug. Putting the final nail in the coffin. I'm done wasting my time on a story that only a fraction of a fraction of it's readers care about. I'm putting my efforts elsewhere, where it might be more appreciated. Maybe someday I'll come back and finish what I've started, but for now I have bigger things.

And, y'know, I thought this chapter's reception would be pretty big, considering it being the first story-related chapter I've posted in months, but no. Hardly anything.

Hey guys! Happy 2015! Sorry I haven't shown my face around here for a while now!

I'll just get right down to business.

I've been busy.

You've been busy.

We've all been busy.

But during that business, I've been putting words into the next chapter of Ungrounded, a little at a time.

And now I can safely announce that the next chapter is basically done! Word count is 4,304, and it's got some pretty good character development for Lucien and Ironwing, I'd say.

I said I was gonna take a hiatus from it, but then I ended up doing another chapter. I heard a song a few days ago and just felt like writing for it, so I did.

Now it's going on hiatus, and I'll be doing some work on Reversal of Fortune. It's a very demanding fic.

So, after a lot of thought and consideration, I arrived that it would be for the best for me to step off the gas for Ungrounded for a little bit and wrap things up for Reversal of Fortune in the meantime.

So I overestimated how much I want/need to rewrite.

In all actuality, it's not that bad.

Though I would like to change Sandcroft's name to something less self-inserty. I don't know if I can manage that, since he appears in more than just this story...

I'm going to make some edits to the latest chapter to make it a bit more... realistic? Yeah, I'll go with that one.

It's tough getting back in the swing of things after a few months of taking breaks from writing, but I'll manage.

You know what? Fuck this.

Fuck me!

I'm gonna go back and fix all the shit I did wrong earlier in the story! All those cringe-worthy moments that I have now grown to hate are gonna be fixed!

That stupid bullshit I pulled for the beginning 2/3's of the first arc shall be rewritten! No more Lucien acting like a goddamn 12 year old! No more naming characters after me! All those meta references, gone! I'm so done with looking at my past mistakes!

Lotta stuff going on after that disaster of a chapter. Haven't opened up something that bad since Chapter 2.

Bottom line of this blog: I'm putting Ungrounded on hiatus because I don't feel capable of writing it.

Not to mention that readership has had a sharp and sudden drop. The last two chapters had the lowest views ever, and while I can pin the first one onto a broken notification because I accidentally posted it too early, the second one leaves nothing to the imagination.

I rewrote a significant section in Chapter 13: The Secret World. The names of the three factions have been changed to The Company of Magicians, The Tribune of Magic, and The House of Life. Their internal workings and Lucien's opinions of them have also slightly altered.

Later chapters will be edited to reflect this change.

I guess it didn't roll with the notification because I accidentally hit publish once.

Accidentally hit the Publish button.

Well sorta accidentally.

I just finished the chapter, then realized that I can't post it until the next chapter of Wandering Prey is done. Which should be very soon, because I, for once, finished before he did.

Chapter 23: An Unexpected Visitor.

Original quote:

Lucien raised a brow questioningly and made a note to investigate later, but he didn't say anything immediately. Then, after waiting for another moment, “I’ll leave you to it then. I know what it’s like to want isolation. Took me some 30 years to break out of the mindset.”

New quote:

Okay, so I kinda lied about being done writing with the author behind Aiden, he'll be making one more appearance next chapter, but just in the beginning, then you won't be seeing him for the rest of the arc. So that's gonna be a good few chapters.
:D

And: a poll!

On a scale of 1-10,
1 being "Wow, no."
10 being "MOAR, please, MOAR!"

Well, sort of, because I don't know how else to put this. I'm changing the chapter formatting, in the sense of chapter length.

Because I just broke a hiatus of unprecedented length, and returned with a 7,000 word chapter.

I mean, who wants to return to reading a story with a chapter of that length? I know a few stories on my favorite list that I've put off because of lengthy chapters.

...A storm that will end the drought of Ungrounded chapters.

I'm resuming work on it tonight, and I will (hopefully) be done within a week. Not within this week, but sometime over the next seven days.

I'm an author, not a miracle worker.

Been a while since I've updated, sorry for the radio silence on my end.

Anyway, as the title suggests, Ungrounded is going on hiatus. I've been trying to write the next chapter, but inspiration is just not coming. Sorry about that.

But, in the mean time, I've decided to shift my focus to Reversal of Fortune. I'm just more attentive to that one, and it's already 10 times better than Ungrounded, in a fraction of the chapters. So I'm going to finish that one, then move back to Ungrounded.
