Until the other day, I hadn't thought about The Conversion Bureau in years. Hell, I'd barely thought about this site in years. I think that's exactly what makes now a good time to look back at it: any emotions I had about it have had a long time to cool, and so I can examine it with a critical eye and the benefit of hindsight. I'm going to avoid mentioning the names of specific works or authors, because I'd rather not anyone's comments sections get raided.

I know I said earlier that I had no plans to write anything else relating to Body And Mind. However, now that I've thought about it, there's one last chapter I want to write.

Fanfic authors have a good amount of leeway in how they write changelings without going against canon -- at least, as far as the show's concerned. I haven't really read the comics. They invaded Canterlot, they got blown away by magical love beams, and they weren't mentioned again. Whatever authors decide to go with, they have their reasons, and since I know many of my readers have their own headcanons, I thought it'd be interesting to share.

I've already had multiple people ask me this, so rather than try to address every single comment individually, I felt it best to make this a blog post.

I'm sure it hasn't escaped people's notice that the most recent chapter of Body And Mind has had the longest delay of any since I first put up the story.

I got a rather pleasant surprise in my email inbox last night.

To start with, thanks to everyone for your patience and understanding over my hiatus. I know a lot of people have been following Body And Mind and it's hard when an author suddenly stops a story.

I'd like to begin this post by thanking everyone who's been following and commenting on my story. It means a lot to me, knowing that I've made a contribution to this community and created something that people enjoy. I hope you can all be understanding of my decision to put it on hiatus, then, in light of what I'm about to tell you. Quite simply, I just don't have time or energy to spare for it right now.

For those of you who've been wondering what the hell I've been up to, the next chapter of Body And Mind has been sent to my prereader. Expect it within a few days.
