Pokemon Revival (Discontinued)

Announcement: Moving on.

Hello all, this is Xeta. It's been a long while, I know, and I'm sorry it took this long to get this out, but this is an official announcement from me. As far as it goes for those of you who follow you're probably expecting this to be an update on Project X, or Pokemon Revival. It's not, and I'm sad to bring you this news. This was something, I never expected on my end, I'm going to be honest. It's not something I ever planned on doing, or wanted to ever do. And as for most writers that possibly end up in this situation, it's probably just as bad on the readers for these sorts of things.

I recall several times on my end, promising I would never stop, that I would never quit doing this, for how much I enjoyed it. And for a while there, I even believed myself I would never stop.

I'm not going to keep anyone else in suspense since there is absolutely no reason to. It's obvious what this is and at worst what some of you were probably fearing. This isn't just writers block, this isn't just a simple hiatus. I feel that, overall, fanfiction writing is done on here, and it's been done for a few months now. And I know, I know I KNOW. There are people who read my things, this isn't about me wanting to see reviews come in, this is no one's fault, no one is forcing me to stop, and I know alot of you still keep up with this stories, and I can't thank any of you enough for this. Writing, beginning this, I think it genuinely saved me from such a bad part of my life, people reading, getting to interact with everyone, that saved me.

As of this, I've written possibly close to 100 writings, near 300,000 words have been written. And over the course of that time, I began to find new interests. I found a place in art, and spent alot of time doing it. Some of the art piece covers are so old now that it's hardly recognizeable for me to even tell this was me, and it is.

Near the beginning of this year, alot of people have probably wondered where I've been, and I made my own discovery about myself during the course of this year. I haven't written a chapter for revival, in over a year. And I realized why, I don't enjoy writing anymore, did I hate the time I spent in writing? Hell no, I enjoyed every second of it, and I wouldn't take it back or remove any of what I've done for any reason, it's where I started, why ignore it exists?

But I have to be honest this time, I need to be honest with you, and with myself. Writing has lost interest with me for more personal reasons. One major factor is this is where my passion shifted. Since I began drawing, and making art pieces, I realized just how much fun it was, and how much more fulfilling it felt, that I started doing it more than anything. I used to play video games alot more and even that doesn't get too much attention in my life anymore. My interests shifted, and my priorities shifted. And now I'm in college planning out my art degree on top of that.

Another reason for me leaving this behind was, there's no longer a need for me to do this. I believe in some of my very old announcement I mentioned this before. Life was, hard during the time in my life when I was writing. Writing, was a coping mechanism, plain and simple. It was a way for me to escape reality when i truly needed it. But now? My life is so much better, I don't need to write to get away from it. I don't need a coping mechanism anymore, and I know it myself. I'm not writing anymore not because i've grown out of it, but because I no longer have to do it, I no longer need to leave reality, life's better, life got so much better for me. And, in turn... I no longer need to write to escape it.

This isn't something I really wanted to make, but I didn't want to leave anyone in the dark, I didn't want to hide what I was doing or what was happening. As I said, I'm going to be honest with all of you. My ambitions have shifted, my life's better, and I just dont have the need or want to write anymore, not in this way.

Part of this is a goodbye, but not from the people who've watched me, who've read my things. This is also a thank you to all of you. You all really did help me through a bad time, reading comments, interacting with those who contacted me. Some of the best people I've met are due to me doing this, and I don't have any regrets on it.

I say it's only partly, cause I mentioned that I didn't want to write anymore in this way. Well, thankfully, I haven't stopped being creative entirely just yet, more of in a different format. I've started a comic series, and a serious one I plan to continue. Clockwork Journeys, and It's Pokemon mystery dungeon. I'm informing you all of this cause well, again I want to let you all know what I'm doing. No one has to look at it or read it, but it's what I'm doing now. Deviantart is where I'm posting this.

This is a different project, for one, I'm not writing on my own. I actually have a few people helping me write the story, so not only is it something new, it might also have better writing then what you're all used to seeing. Again this isn't something I really wanted to make. And if this is what your main interest was, I want to truly apologize, and it's all I can really do other than forcing myself to do something I'm not up to doing anymore.

Life is different now. But I dont want the time i've spent with everyone here to end. I spend alot of time on Deviantart Now, but I'm still under the same name. If any of you want to come over there, even if it's not to read, even if it's just to say hi, or stop by, it would be great to hear from those of you who're here to read this.

This site, and all of you, have been great to me, and I can't thank any of you enough. But I dont want it to be goodbye, it's more of just me moving forward. Moving on to something I truly enjoy, and feel like it's worth doing. As far as it goes, I believe this is the end for my writings. I would finish them if I could, but again, it's forcing myself to do something that, I just dont enjoy anymore.

So let's end on a high note. Once again, I'm not stopping with creating, it's just in a different medium, a different format that is more enjoyable for me. And if any of you want to come over to Deviantart, i'm under the same name and everything, "XetaJTS" If you want to just to check out what I've done, or even say hi, i'll be there to reply to you all, and it would be great to meet you all.

Thank you once again for all the good times, and once again, I'm sorry if this is dissapointing to anyone, and I mean anyone it's not what I wanted to say, and not what you wanted to hear, but it had to be said, and I needed to say it.

But most of all, thank you.

XetaJTS, continuing on, and moving forward.
