5. Announcement

I am afraid that I have some bad news: I am putting this story on an indefinite hiatus.
I'm sorry that I have to do this, but I have my reasons.

Firstly, I feel as if I've had a loss of interest in this story. This is partially due to a lack of planning on my part, as there are still many parts of the story that I need to plan that I can't seem to get any ideas for. The current chapter that I'm writing is also taking forever (almost as long as Cynder's chapter - my longest one - and it's not even halfway there!), and I feel as if I've written myself into a dead end and I don't know how to get out of it.

Secondly, I want to focus on other series and projects. I actually have another story planned, based on the Super Smash Bros. series, and I feel like that would be a better use of my writing time. I've already started writing it, and I just feel that I'm enjoying it a lot more. I think a wider range of characters also helps me gain interest in writing, as well as diversifying my writing style.

Finally, I feel that the original purpose of my story - to create a replacement story for Dawn of the Dragon - is really dragging me down, and is causing me an unbelievable amount of stress in trying to reach this goal and tie up any loose ends left in A New Beginning or The Eternal Night.

Once again, I'm sorry about this, but I think it's for the best that I leave this story alone for a while, and come back to it when I have more inspiration to write for it, as well as more interest in the Spyro universe.

I don't know whether I'm going to continue this at a later point or just cancel it, but I will let you know either way.

A big thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed and supported me and this story, and I hope you understand my reasoning for the hiatus. Your support means more to me than you know. If you are a fan of Super Smash Bros., or are interested in the series, then hopefully my upcoming story will interest you, and you will be willing to check it out.

Special thanks go to Fire Shallows for being a great Beta-Reader and general advisor, as well as a great friend. Thank you as well to all of my friends who have read through my progress and given me feedback on it: you know who you are.

Thank you for reading my story thus far, and hopefully we shall meet again in the future.
