Where have I been? · 11:44pm Jan 26th, 2020
Hey guys, I'm back from my brief four year hiatus...
Okay, so maybe it wasn't so brief. I feel like I owe you at least a little bit of an explanation. To put it blunty - I didn't feel like writing transformation stories.
When I started I was in a pretty bummer place personally, I was struggling with my social life, and was enduring what I'd describe as a bout of depression. I didn't like myself, and I suppose part of the appeal of transformation stories was escapism for me. I could daydream about turning into something or somebody else - who was much better than I was. And I did. At a time when I was watching My Little Pony I ended up stumbling upon the transformation thread. I was immediately enamoured.
I wrote several stories covering a range of different subjects, all centered around Transformation. It was half wish fufillment and half wanting to bang out porn. I enjoyed seeing people talk about my stories, and I enjoyed the fantasy.
And then I made some new friends - and found a new direction in my life. I patched myself up and stopped disliking myself. And then suddenly transformation stories just weren't as interesting anymore. ( A lie, to be honest,) but I was too focused on other things to think about it. I'd have the occasional burst of nostalgia about it and check what the new writers were doing, but I'd rarely consider opening up a word document and doing something myself. Not helped by me falling behind on MLP and kind of losing interest (I'll watch the new seasons eventually, promise.)
I'll save you the rest of the sob story - a few years passed before I knew it. Time flies. I found new interests and reconnected with some old ones. I cracked. Even though I don't feel the same or do it for the same reasons as I did back then, I still love transformation stories. I realized it recently when I started writing more regularly again, I'd end up writing TF stories anyway.
So I'm back, and I'm making an effort to write chapters and stories more regularly. This was the first community I ever engaged in like this and I'll never forget it - nothing else I've done has been as tightly knit and diverse as the MLP fandom. It shaped a massive part of my life and made me aspire to be a writer professionally. Not making progress on that front, but it's a thing.
So make sure to check out my new story, Changeling with You, and also keep an eye out for new chapters of Adjustment.
Well, it's good to have you back!
... I didn't realise it had been four years, but it's still good to have you back.
We welcome you with open arms.
Welcome back
It's great your back, I've been a fan of adjustment for a while now! Don't burn yourself out, take it slow and relaxed.
It sounds like you’re in a better place, which is good. I hope you find fulfillment in what you write here. I only recently got around to reading Adjustment because it was updated, so I’m looking forward to more updates, even though I worry that the story still has dark parts ahead.
Congratulations, happy to hear a succes story, have fun and be happy.
