Five Nights at Freddy's - Part 3: Circus of Torment (DISCONTINUED)

by Christopher Steve

In 1990, Circus Baby's Pizza World, a spin-off of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, is opening to the public. Purple Guy reluctantly employs there as a technician. As he looks over the new animatronics, namely Circus Baby herself, he realizes that his daughter, the only person he cares for, may be at risk. During all this, what will happen when the child discovers her father's dark secret?

10. Why I stopped working on this

The reason for discontinuing the story is because I want to move on from Five Nights at Freddy's for a while and work on other stories (my Sonic The Hedgehog reboot, for one). Also, I feel these stories desperately need a reboot themselves. Upon reading the other FNAF stories again, I realized that a lot of people might consider them "poorly-written". A good chunk of the characters can be considered "bland", and some of the other elements, such as the Mike-Mina relationship in Part 2 can be frowned upon by the people who negatively stereotype the FNAF fandom. I always intend my stories to please everyone (even people who aren't fans of the source material).

I do not regret writing the FNAF stories, as there are things that I'm still very proud of in them. It's just that they have enough flaws to be considered "sub-par".

I do plan in the future to publish a film-script version of my FNAF stories (basically starting from the beginning). It'll pretty much reboot the games storyline (much like the Silver Eyes novels did), while improving on my original stories. It will have interesting characters, a whole mystery about the restaurants, and much more of an action-thriller tone. I'm not sure when I will publish it, but it's in the idea box.

For now, I will focus on my other stories.

Thank you to all the people who have read my stories. Without you, I wouldn't be at this point. Please stick around for better stories in the future!
