I am discontinuing In the Shadow of an Eclipse.

Why you may ask? Well, it's been some fourteen months since I last put out an update. I have long since lost my drive to write it, which has been sapping my ability to write ANYTHING.

So does this mean that the story will go unfinished? I certainly hope not.

Three months after the announcement of a new chapter and... nothing...

I am sorry everyone, I just haven't been able to put words on paper here. I know the direction I want to take it, but whenever I try to write it, I get a paragraph and I hate it. I'll keep trying to get stuff written for you all.

So I am, in fact, still a potato alive, and in fact, will be working on a new chapter quite soon. Sorry for the delay, guys and gals. ^^;

Don't you worry, though. Four months of creative juices and other assorted drinks are ready to be put to work on entertaining you fine folks!

Unfortunately for Eclipse fans, it's a new Chapter of Her Bright Smile in the works.

'But reyin,' I hear you say, 'you haven't released a chapter of Eclipse in two months, and the last Smile chapter was two DAYS ago!'

Well... yes. And there's a reason for that.

I do apologize for not being around. I've been having trouble writing, partly because my computer fan's still broken, and partly because I can't keep anything in my head but Bohemian Rhapsody.

That said, a new chapter of Her Bright Smile is to be proofread today (I'm writing this at 12:11 my time). Once I get the OK from Copy Cat I'll have it out to you.

For once, this isn't related to Eclipse! (I promise it's on it's way, guys)

I just have a question that I'd appreciate some input on from someone who knows the site better than me.

How do people react to story images that are screenshots from the show?

Okay, so I was browsing the various ponywebs, when I came across something that could have affected my writing in confusing ways for you all.

Specifically, this:

For those of you who cannot go to the link, it details what watching MLP is like for colorblind bronies, like me. You see. for most of you, MLP looks like this:

Specifically the ones assuring you, my readers, that I'm still writing. But this time I have somewhat more physical things keeping me from getting the next chapter out.

Specifically, the fan on my computer's going. Whoo. -seething-

Now, this doesn't mean that Chapter Four won't be worked on until my fan gets fixed, I have the document on three different backups for just such an occasion.

And how can I promise that?

In the Shadow of an Eclipse just broke 12500 words, y'all! And if you're curious, that word is 'spent'!

Okay, I admit it's not as big a progress as I should have to show for all this wait, but life is throwing hurdle after hurdle at me, and it's making it difficult to write.

One of which is a special mention to my beta, Copy Cat, who went through some personal issues that I had to help with, so I had no time these last few days, and no beta.

Hey guys, I am still around and all. Chapter Four is in the works, have no worries! I just ran across a bump in the road that grew into a full-sized case of writer's block. But, thanks to my beta, the lovely Copy Cat, I have rewritten the problem section and am almost ready to finish off the chapter!
