Yeaaaaaaaaa... I'm expecting some rage with this. But please, hear me out.
When I had started this story, I was fresh into the MLP fandom. I was new to understanding the characters, my own writing ability, etc. This was for me to practice with, to try some things out. The best way is with an OC of course, but now that I've been writing a lot more (though most of it you've all not seen, yet) I'm finding that this story, with all honesty, was not going in a direction I felt would be right.
At this point, I am forcing myself to write this story. To continue it. I've tried so many things to re-motivate myself into continuing it. But everything is failing me. I've been so hung up on this story, that it's destroying my productivity with the other fics I'm trying to do behind the scenes. I don't feel that it would be right, or fair to you all, to continue this fic under a totally different mind set of when I had started it. I'd rather work on something I know I am putting all my effort into, than something that I just don't care for anymore.
I understand some of you will be upset. Many of you were enjoying my story. And I appreciate everything you've all done. The comments, favorites, even some fan art had sprung up. All of which had driven me closer to keep going. But... it's just... not happening. I open the document, and I sit there. The ideas are all there for it. I know how I want to end it. I know how the following chapters are to be played out. But my will, my ambition to continue this story is just... not existent.
So again, I apologize for giving your hopes up for this story to continue. I plan to remove all the chapters that are up within the next few days. However, I am not destroying the story. I might one day return. Who knows. But for now, I have other stories that my mind has been set on completing for quite some time. Thank you to all who watch me and put up with my inability to be as productive as I wish I were, but this might be the first big step to getting me back and rolling again.

About Divergent Days
So, I will be posting chapter 3 of DD on fimfic soon, which is where the fic itself begins to "change" from the original version. I know many of you enjoyed what I had already done with it, but after two years of thinking, plotting, and more MLP episosdes, I've had more ideas and better ways to execute scenes. Plus, I like to think my writing has improved.
That being said, I will be removing DD from dA every time I upload the next chapter on fimfic here. There is the link to it, so if you wanna keep track of it's progress then go there. And since it has been two years, I would recommend re-reading it as I post it there, for it will be going
Good news!
I woke up this morning, which means I survived my birthday!
I just wanted to say thank you all who wished me a happy birthday. I've been watching M*A*S*H again, so for my birthday me and my friends played poker and drank... well, I drank... but in true M*A*S*H fashion! So, hopefully I'll be gettin' some work done with fics over on fimfic.
Toodles!
Divergent Days!
A young mare approached me the other day, asking "ROB, just what has happened to your magnificent fan fiction called Divergent Days?" I explained to her how I've been busy with planning the Fillidelphia ruins salvaging. And she nodded, smiling the entire time, gaining my trust. Of course, she only did this in an attempt to get near me so she could attack me with a crude dagger she had carved out of stolen scrap metal. Needless to say, her attempt failed her. But did I have her killed? No, I did not. I sent her to the pit, where she could-
wait... oh yeah, derp... Been listening to my Fallout Equestria audiobooks again... anyway.
*Ahem*
Wel
CMCon!
"Hey ROB, where the hell have you been?"
Well faithful watcher, I've been busy. Writing? Pfft, hell no. I've not done jack shit in like a year. I'm still amazed people are even watching me. Anyway, so in case you may think that I just don't write, or don't want to, that's not it at all actually. I'm actually writing still! Am I posting anything? No, 'cause 99% of it isn't really "post-worthy" at this time. Mostly it's all ideas, concepts, and horribly rough drafts. For quite some time, I've just been so tired after working at both my job, with my father, and going to school, I don't really do much other than play some video games on occasion

......dude, I'll level with you. I dont give a flyin feather about Divergent days. I was new to the fandom when I read it and it was a lot higher quality then I had seen (then this fandom raised the bar). However what I do care about is seeing you write a multi-chapter HiE. Why?
Because Divergent Days was your first fic. BUT! insead of filling it with an "ultimate evil" or making it an obvious romance/ gary stu, you did a productive slice of life. All and I mean ALL HiEs are full of either pointless action or bad 'living in equestria' where the plot is ALWAYS: "omg human. Nvm not that exciting, lets act like nothing changed".....baring the really good ones of course.
But yourse was different. It didnt Play off a new twist or sudden surprise in the plot. It simply told of a few effects caused by the human arriving.
I'm ok with you killing DD, as long as you write a good, thoughtout, nice multi-chapter fic in the near future. A HiE that dosent have some world ending event. (so basically a civillian version of 'Artical 2'
) do that and I wont shave your head and replace it with string cheese...
