Hi! So I know I haven't been online in a long long time, but I'm slowly starting to pop back in every once in awhile. Since it's been so long, I should probably clear a few things up.
          	
          	If you're wondering about I Felt The Sparks, no, I will not be updating again. I'm generally unhappy with how I let the story go, and not too far into writing it I lost direction. I started writing just to produce chapters and not to produce a good story. As you can probably tell from the later chapters, I couldn't decide if from the start I had let Nya and Jay come together too quickly, and my indecision was showing in my writing with the switchups between her wanting to get Jay back to where they were and wanting to start over with him. Then there's the whole "suddenly I decided they need to have their powers" thing. 
          	
          	Long story short, for these reasons I've discontinued the fanfic. I don't know if anyone still reads it, so I won't delete it for that reason, but it will not be continued.
          	
          	If I do end up writing another Ninjago fanfic (which I may or may not have started a new one) I'm going to actually figure out the direction and characters first, as well as developing the full story and actually editing before I start posting.
          	
          	I can't think of anything else really, so if you have questions, feel free to respond. I'm really sorry if I missed anything. 
          	
          	And to finish off this post, for totally unrelated reasons, I need a vote. What trope is better—arranged marriage or enemies-to-lovers?

The reason I got into Ninjago again is that it started showing up on my Fyp a while ago, so I saw a bunch of spoilers, including Nya becoming the ocean.
          
          So when I started rewatching and I got to season five, Sensei Wu told Nya to become water, and I was just sitting there like 
          
          And I was in constant fear that it would be the season she merges with the sea since season five, even though it occurred after the redesigns first came out.

If you could bring back one concept of ninjago and stretch it out further, what would it be?
          
          Personally, I'd make it a longer time period before the Ninja find out the identity of Samurai X. It had a lot of potential, and I like the idea of there being a hero on her own team.
          
          Or Sensei Garmadon. In the short time he wasn't evil, Lloyd and Garmadon got really attached, which only made it more painful when he sacrificed himself. 
          
          (Personal opinions, feel free to disagree)

@storiesninjago I agree. I started a fanfiction (post-crystallized) that I do not plan on publishing any time soon, but it's pretty much the return of Nadakhan and what happened to Jay's bio mom. I just randomly had the idea sometime last month because it would have been so cool to see him return with the memory of what happened last time, and Jay or Nya would have to explain to everyone who he is. Could've been the perfect finale

It has been almost a month since I worked on IFTS, so I'm going to try to finish chapter 26 by tomorrow. Best case scenario. Worst case scenario, it takes me two more weeks. 
          
          Basically anywhere in between tomorrow and two weeks. 
          
          Why is the quest to find motivation so difficult? :/

Does anyone else ever start a book and then have a better idea so you start another book? I have nine books that I have yet to finish. :/
