Apocalypse: Shifting Shadows
So you all probably knew that this was coming.
Try as I might…I'm too ambitious for my own good. It's been the death of me ever since I started writing on this site, and it's made me look like a fool each time.
Let's get to the point. Sadly…And it really, really sucks to say it…This story is dead.
Much like PMD GLD, this story has suffered some major setbacks despite how well set-up it was. Most of that stems from ideas that I've had being used by COD Zombies in some form or another. Rave in the Redwoods was basically what my next map was going to be, except with a more fairy tale twist to it. Revelations and Dr. Monty kind of ruined some of my head-canon stuff for the story. And while all of that stuff is awesome and I like it, especially the Zombies Timeline…It kind of just ruined the fun of filling all the blanks in myself.
The biggest issue on top of that how busy I've become over the past few months and me finally getting into the Air Force-
Oh yeah. That happened. I'm in the Air Force now. I ship off in less than one month. Cool huh? I finally achieved the goal I've been talking about all these years!
Back to the point. If I'm not able to update a story for months and months even if it's a shorter one, then there's an issue with my schedule and me being able to juggle multiple stories at once. Things aren't like they used to be back in college, where I wrote DOTD and Jak IV at the same time. And even then it was a struggle doing it. Things might be different in the AF and it's possible I could try multiple stories again down the road, but it's unlikely.
So yeah. I'm done with this story. Again, I am so sorry for this. I know there's longtime supporters who loved this story and DOTD, but I just…Can't. It's hard enough for me to keep one story going with all of the drama and nonsense going on in my own life. Two just makes things stressful and not fun. I wanted to make this update though to let you all know what's up, though. I owe you all this after everything you've done for me.
Feel free to add me on Xbox One if you feel like. Leave your Gamertags in the review section or PM me them and I'll add you.
Now, this will not be the end of me on this site. Far from it.
I'm still working on "Pokémon Radiant Sun", a Sun and Moon novelization with some darker twists and a new plot-line that compliments the original story. It may be interesting to note that this story is actually set in the universe that "Second Chances" is in.
No, I haven't forgotten that story. It's just a massive undertaking and I want to be sure I have the audience for it before I do it.
But yeah, Pokémon RS is set in the same universe as my ultimate dream fic. Vivian (remember the weird violin girl?) and a host of OC's that I've had in my head for years are running amok and having a grand old time. If that story does well, Second Chances is probably not far behind.
So if you're still interested in following my work, or have any remote interest in Pokémon or the "Second Chances" nonsense I used to go on about years ago, please check it out and show your support. It'd mean the world to me if any of my supports from my Zombies fics checked out my newer stuff. As much as I love COD Zombies, Pokémon is my favorite game series and I'm stoked to finally be able to write a serious story about it.
So, to end this note…I'd like to say you for everything. All of the love and support and everything, just…thank you. I'm sorry it had to come to this. I wanted this sequel to happen. The passion is there…Everything else wasn't though, and it sucks, but…That's life I guess.
Feel free to PM me if you need anything. Hopefully I'll be seeing some of you soon over at Pokémon RS.
Stay awesome everyone.
Until next time, FlygonNick out!
