IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: I wasn't really sure how to bring this up, so I decided to just get it out in the open here, on one of my more popular (and most watched) stories.

I'm going to be taking a hiatus from writing fanfiction, possibly a permanent one. I might come back to this in the future some day, but I can't guarantee it.

There are a few reasons I made this choice, one of which is that I'm feeling my well of creativity for this site has started to run dry. My overarching multiverse story is effectively finished, with all the major loose ends tied up.

Granted, while I left a few plot points and story ideas open ended for some of those works, I just don't have that same drive to work on them as I used to as a result of the above. Same with a number of standalone works that I've written like Mass Effect: Bionicle Revolution or Hope in a Flash.

Also, like many fanfic authors, I'm finding that real life is kicking my ass, and I need to focus more on that than I would like, which doesn't leave as much time to focus on pumping out more fanfics, especially given my rather breakneck pace of having a new chapter out every week.

I'm not finished with writing in general though, which leads to my biggest reason for taking a break: to focus on my original works that I've posted on Amazon Kindle, in the hopes of actually making money off my writing, at least more than what I could get from writing fanfiction.

The work in question is entitled "Beyond Reality", if anyone is interested. It's a series of primarily short stories in a multiversal setting, with some similar themes and ideas as my work on this site and beyond.

Feel free to check it out on Amazon Kindle under the author name Jeffrey Konkin, it would help me tremendously if you did. So far, there's only two stories out right now, titled "Watching a World End" and "Routine Mission", but there's going to be plenty more, as I'm aiming for a story a month, at least early on. And I definitely have plans for a trilogy of novels that will hopefully be up within the next year or so.

But yeah, that's where my primary focus for the forseeable future is going to lie. I know it's disappointing that I've become one of those authors who ends up abandoning stories before they're completed (lord knows I definitely didn't want that to happen), but I figured it would be better to announce it and explain things rather than just vanish off the face of the Earth with no explanation.

But y'know, in spite of all the ideas and half written snippets I've had that may now never see the light of day, in spite of the incomplete stories that remain, I am proud of my work here. It's helped me grow and develop as a writer, and I will always remember my work on this site fondly.

To everyone who's followed, favorited and/or reviewed my works, I can only thank you all for your support. And if you're a new reader who's discovered all of my stories here recently, I hope you enjoyed them all.

This is hunter 139, signing off for what may be the last time. Farewell.
