Hoof. Been a while, huh?
I don't think I've logged into this account in six-ish years. Feels like I'm digging up an old tomb, dusting off a casket.
Anyways, time to stroke my ego. :)
Every-so-often, I get email notifications from people still reading this story, and still thoroughly enjoying it, which is the surrealist thing to me. I started this thing in 2014, fresh off my excitement from that year's Godzilla. I felt like pushing that energy into something I've never really tried my hand at before, and if people liked it that was a bonus. I really didn't expect it to gain as much traction as it has, even if it's really minor in the grand scheme of things.
But that's not what you wanted to read about when you saw a new update to this dinosaur of a story, is it? lol.
I promised a sequel, or at least a re-write. Boy, I really kept that promise, huh?
Things happen. Interests change. People move on. Not to mention the realization of how overwhelming the ideas I wanted to put down were becoming.
I still think about this story every now and then, even if it's just to look back at some pretty amateurish writing I did one summer when I was in high school. I think about how fun it was just to write even if I didn't know where I was going with it at first. Sometimes I think about how fun it might be to revisit this world, expand some ideas while trimming others down a bit. See how much has changed in the near-decade(!) since I've written this story. Hell, there's elements I really, really wanted to put in that I just didn't know where to put them.
Am I absolutely going to come back to this? I can't say. If a continuation of some kind is something people want to see still, and if I can come up with something new to bring to the table, I would not be opposed to it. For now, I'm just keeping my foot in the door.
It's a little cheesy to say, but I'm over the moon to find out people still dig this story. Reading some of the more recent reviews have made my day.
Here's hoping I don't vanish for another couple of hundred years.
