Accepting Darkness

by Rinichey

Left without their memories, Sans and Papyrus find themselves as skeletal children in the care of Gaster. The past however has not let go of the children, and every new turn seems to give an answer neither of them knew they had questions to. It's up to both on whether to be consumed by their past, or move on towards the future. (Sequel to Fading Light)

6. Regarding the future of the story

So this might be a good time to say something.

Hey everyone, it's been awhile huh? It's 2017 now, sheesh. The year flew by, and with it some things have changed and some haven't. I got a tutoring job this semester; I got to meet one of my online friends from another country during the summer; I even got to come up with another original idea (that I really should be working on).

I know in my last update I said that it might be a year before I come back to resume Accepting Darkness. And like I thought my inspiration for Undertale has been severely lacking since. To be honest, it was lacking even when I was writing it. The push backs were because I was either too busy or too focused on college and getting good grades then writing Sans and Papyrus sledding down a garbage hill. It was a struggle to even finish chapter 4.

I figured with the hiatus I might be able to step back, take a breath and come at it again with some new creativity, but I'm sorry to say but the well is still dry. I honestly don't know if the inspiration will ever come back.

So I wanted to say something instead of just leaving you guys on a cliff-hanger and just disappearing. For all the new people following and the ones who began with me, I just want to say thank you again for reading Fading Light and following me to Accepting Darkness. I know I keep saying this but it's crucial that you guys know that without your feedback this would have been dead in the water to begin with. Your love for the story kept me going, and while I don't know if I can continue I still want to thank you for putting up with everything I've thrown at you.

So what am I really saying? Accepting Darkness will be going on an indefinite hiatus. Unless I really find inspiration again and come back, I don't see myself hitting this story up like a steam train and finishing it. I'll still keep it up (since I'm petrified of people stealing it) but I will not be handing the story over to anyone to finish it, so please don't ask if you were interested in picking up the mantle and finishing the story.

Again, thank you for following me for so long, and I hope to hear you guys again if I do decide to write any small Undertale stories or other things.
