Official hiatus

Many of you have probably noticed that I've sorta dropped off of the face of the earth. In addition to a lack of time, my physical health has kinda taken a dive now that Winter is beginning to set in and I'm stressing out over money and moving. Don't worry, everything is mostly on the upswing, but I'm having to put all of my effort into keeping things going right now so I can move into my new place and keep myself motivated.

So until further notice, all of my work is on hiatus. Not only that, but I'm sorry to announce that Fragments will never be completed at this point. The original inspiration for the story I had has all but vanished, and I can't bring myself to continue it any further. I think this also deserves and explanation to you, the viewers, who waited so patiently for me to finish the story.

Despite my outwardly cheery disposition at the time of beginning Fragments, the story was supposed to be an outlet for the things I felt at the time. The truth is, I'm a very troubled person. More troubled than I'm willing to say on a public blog like this. I felt trapped by my past and kept being drawn into the things I couldn't seem to let go, and I wanted to express this in the story, to "let the poison out," so to speak. Luna's fanon interpretation by many was that Luna was a pony torn between two personas - Luna, the one who was betrayed by her sister and couldn't let go of the past, and Nightmare Moon, Luna's malevolent protector and champion. The dichotomy that the fanon presented me was an interesting one to me, and I decided to run with it. But at this point, I've lost the inspiration for Fragments, and no matter how hard I try, I can't bring myself to finish it. I'm not quite sure what I was trying to say with it anymore, or where I was going in the first place.

I've decided to make a lot of changes in my life so my life doesn't suck quite so hard. I was horribly depressed, shut-in, and my only outlet was the writing I did about ponies. I told myself I wouldn't write about things that were happening in my life, and yet, it ended up bleeding through. Things getting better doesn't mean I'm simply forgetting about you all, but that I have to focus on other things until it settles down. I'll definitely be coming back to the fandom once my life is back on track.

I'm so, so very sorry to all of you. Again, I plan on writing both ponies and original fiction again in maybe a month or two, and I still plan on producing romantic shipping stories as well. But Fragments is dead and buried, and I doubt that I'll ever gain the resolve to complete it.

tl;dr: Things are going well, but I have no time for ponies right now. "Fragments" has been retired. I'll start writing again in a month.
