Hey, y'all. Afraid I got some bad news so bear with me.
          	
          	I've both been informed - and found out through other creators - that Hasbro is enacting their latest in corporate takeover by pushing WattPad to remove MLP stories and fanfics from the platform, entirely.
          	
          	I've already heard news about one of the biggest MLP fanfic writers - TheNintegaGuy - having some of their season stories taken down over this move.
          	
          	In regard to my own Equestria at War stories... I'm holding hope that they MIGHT be untouched given their basis is the HoI4 mod and not the show itself -- but I don't think they'll be safe, knowing Hasbro.
          	
          	For those who do like the story, fear not. I've already moved all the chapters of both the first and second season stories of EaW to other platforms like FIMfiction and Google Docs so the work is safe for now.
          	
          	What does this mean for you all?
          	
          	I plan to keep my Equestria at War stories up and active on WattPad for as long as I can -- both as my act of personal defiance against this move made by Hasbro, and as me refusing to give in to the tactics. So, I recommend reading up my Equestria at War series while you can -- and reading all the other fantastic MLP fanfics on this platform while you're at it.
          	
          	If Hasbro wants Equestria at War taken down, they can come over and do it themselves -- I will be keeping the stories up on WattPad as long as I'm able.
          	
          	Just a reminder that much like the characters in that story, don't be afraid to stand up against tyranny and evil when it rears its ugly head, in pursuit of good.
          	
          	I hope you all have a good day - a good week - and keep your heads held high despite this bad news.
          	
          	Later, y'all!

As a quick aside - until this move with Hasbro ends, if it ends... I'll look into either moving my EaW stuff into FIMfiction or Archive of Our Own (which I didn't even know existed until I read Nintega's own announcement).
          	  
          	  I'll keep you all posted.

I'm still alive -- work's just been busy with me basically having to balance three crucial projects at once which are all due within the next month or two, so I haven't put much time into making more chapters, and for that I apologize.
          
          1. I DO want to continue the FNAF story. I've got a timeline and basic plot gist written out for the next 2-3 chapters... just gotta fill it in and publish it.
          
          2. With the announcement of the release and remake of Helluva Boss onto Prime Video... I'm waiting for them to release the 'remake' of the pilot episode before I go any further on the Hazbin/Helluva story.
          
          3. The MLP Season 2 story... is just something that I'll work on as I get the inspiration for it. Still trying to convert the first season over onto FIMfiction.
          
          4. I've got ideas piling up for new stories but I'm trying to pace myself to just working on 2-3 at a time. But stay tuned.
          
          I'm sorry for being too busy to post stuff. I'm still trying to do better.

@Neospark15 No problem man, IRL stuff is much more important. Also, writing tip, focus on the idea that sticks with you most, instead of having to juggle many ideas in your head. Now, see ya til next year! (Or month I lose track of dates)

Neo, I really think you should put your Equestria at War story on Fimfiction. (You don't need to if you don't want to.)

Neospark15

@eztitanic7313 that HAS always been a plan. Issue is that it seems I'd have to shift a lot of the story around cause the way FIMfiction uses images and clips in stories is... different? Something like that.

I am still not dead! I've been busy writing... literally anything other than the FNIA series, even though I do see the constant attention that book receives and the people - rightfully - asking when I'll continue it.
          
          I WILL be continuing it now, safe to say. I apologize for seemingly working on everything BUT FNIA lately (with the recent release of the Clone Wars book's first chapter), but I'm just trying to play into how my inspiration and creativity works.
          
          I try to just write/publish whatever stories I feel motivated to write at that moment. I feel like it both helps me avoid burnout and to avoid writing stuff that isn't that good - if I don't feel like I'm writing just to post stuff, that I'm writing because I want to. Those are my two... excuses... for not working on FNIA. But fortunately, with my inspiration to write Clone Wars satisfied for now, I can get back to FNIA... of which I have some (in my opinion) banger ideas for the next chapters!
          
          I appreciate everyone's patience towards me and look forward to seeing you all at the next chapter release!

So it definitely seems like an interesting idea to pursue later... maybe as a one-off of the guard and the girls playing a video game together and so on. Otherwise, I don't really see a way to add this into the current story of The New Guy that I've got lined up. Sorry.

@Neospark15 I recently had this idea: Have the Fnia girls and the night guard survive Hell-A in Dead Island 2. The girls would get military-grade upgrades, and the NG(Night Guard) would become a numen and one of the slayers. (repost.)

I do wanna apologize for... basically, seemingly dropping off the grid despite posting like one new story (Equestria at War - Book 2), recently. I owe it to a simple "you still alive?" post by... eztitanic7313... to actually snap me awake and speak my mind a bit.
          
          YES. I am still alive and very much active, somewhat. I DO still have plans and notes to continue on working what few books I have in active circulation (FNAF, MLP, Helluva/Hazbin) as well as making new books and new stories. HOWEVER... my crippling laziness and having to balance irl stuff like work, bills, etc... does make it difficult to find time to properly sit down and type some stuff out.
          
          I'm gonna try and do better in this regard... even if its something as small as just writing a few sentences each day to hopefully get my motivation back.
          
          In summary... being an adult is not fun... it's kept me busy. Enjoy the downtime you get in life while you can; whether that be through hobbies, sleeping or exploring the world. And I'll try my best to get back into the swing of things.
          
          Thanks, guys and gals. -- Neospark
