by Slink34884

The war is over, and dawn has broken. Spyro and Cynder have survived their duel with the dark master Malefor. But what now? What comes next for the black and purple dragons? With a new threat rising, and creatures infected with darkness prowling the land Spyro will be needed more then ever. Now after the dawn comes the eclipse.

8. An announcement

Hello everyone, Slink here. So I know you all have plenty of questions about what I have been doing with this story for the past few months, and I am running a little behind schedule so I wanted to take a moment and explain.

The first question that probably comes to mind is, "What did you do to chapter 8?" Well that is most of the problem. Shortly after finishing chapter 10 (around the same time that I posted chapter 8), I looked back over my work and decided that it really didn't meet my expectations. There were plot threads that didn't go anywhere, characters that were useless or didn't act realistically, and the overall quality of the writing was far below my current standard. So now I am rewriting chapters 8, 9, and 10 as well as adding another chapter so that there is a better flow overall.

So now you know what I am doing. "So when will the new chapter 8 go up?" Well that is the thing. Chapter 8 redux is almost done (only 300-400 words left before I can be done) but I obviously haven't started on chapters 9, 10, or 11. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it before, but I try to stay ahead of the story by 2 or 3 chapters so that if I fall behind I have chapters to provide in the meantime, but since I lost chapters 9 and 10…

"So will this story go on a temporary hiatus?" NO! There is nothing I hate more than a story that goes on hiatus, because in my experience they never come out. I promise that once September rolls around again I will work double time on Spyro (I hope) and I will publish chapter 8 redux as soon as it is finished.

I understand that this is frustrating, but I have odd ebbs and flows to my writing. For example my other story (Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: The Dreamstone go check it out!) is approaching a three chapter story arc that I am very excited about, but once I finish it I don't have much planned out enough to actually write any other chapters. That would lead to me going back to Spyro and write out what I have there while I rethink Pokemon.

Anyway, thank you so much for being patient with me. And no matter what, I will finish this story. Until next time,

Hobey-ho let's go!
