A little note
A/N: Hi, everyone. If you were expecting a new chapter, I'm afraid that this isn't quite that. Before you read too far ahead, please don't assume the worst. I'm not dying and I don't plan to cancel the fic. However, I've hit what appears to be a weird case of writer's block. This isn't a case of me having no ideas, far from it. I've already got plenty of stuff loosely planned out and ready to be converted into a document when I get that far, with the scripts providing a good chunk of the material. This is more my struggling to get over certain things that have come up.
To try and keep things relatively short and sweet, I've found myself feeling progressively more tired and suddenly dealing with annoyingly common headaches over the weeks, which are impeding my concentration at university. This means I'm having to work longer hours with increasingly limited time to try and get around that through extra reading, and in turn dealing with more negative emotions. The latter of the two is what has put me off in particular, since I don't want to have my work, and the planned work of Yost and co, marred by my feeling down. From personal experience, I tend to feel that many works made in such a state are the ones which don't make sense, get too dark and drive an audience away. That's not to say that some works made by creators going through this are bad by any means- for instance, Fallout Equestria is meant to be a pretty darn good read (even for a non-brony such as myself), but there are times when it can feel a little bleak or depressing. I am doing my best to recover so this doesn't go too badly, and also trying to take greater efforts to proofread for grammar.
I'm hesitant to try and give a deadline for myself, because I don't know whether or not I'll be able to keep it. My hopes would be that I'll get over this obstacle by the end of next week and be able to start again, if only in small doses so as to fit in my studies.
If you're still around, thanks for still checking in every now and then. Your support really means a lot. This placeholder will eventually disappear when I get over this.
