    Update

    Hello to all still reading.
    Sorry about the super long delay. Life got complicated, and I had written all the easy parts and was struggling to write what I had left.

    Almost Ready

    Sorry I'm terrible at keeping everyone updated. Every time I think about doing it, I'm like, "Or I could write some more so they actually get a post and not an I'm still working on it message." So I'm down to the last section (1 or 2 chapters depending on how wordy I get), and then I should be ready to start posting again. So here's where I am now...

    Prologue 1-4: Done/Published

    Update- I'm still alive, I promise

    So I know that there's been some concern about the story, but let me reassure you that I am still hard at work and have been making progress. In fact, the next chapter is written, but I am reluctant to publish it until I have the following ones done as I'm afraid they might necessitate some changes and I don't want to do major changes to published chapters.

    Happy New Year/State of the Story

    Happy new year everyone. It's been a while, sorry about that. Holidays were hectic with two stir-crazy kids and me as, apparently, their only source of entertainment. I haven't had a lot of time to write, but I am making progress. I'm not sure yet when the next chapter will be out as what progress I've made has not been sequential. I'll try to keep you posted, but to prove that I'm not lying

    State of the Story/Holiday Break

    For those who don't have time/desire to read this post, the long and short of it is Severed Ties will be going on holiday break at least until the end of the year. I've been struggling with what else to say, so if you'd like a wordy ramble explanation, please continue below.

Hello to all still reading.
Sorry about the super long delay. Life got complicated, and I had written all the easy parts and was struggling to write what I had left.
I had kept intending to publish the next chapter, but every milestone I came to I talked myself out of it knowing if the story wasn't done, it would be like last time and just be right back to more months of no update. I kept telling myself I should really just finish the story and then update... so I did. Some of it may still be a bit rough, but I think I'm at a good point where I can move forward with posting and work out the remaining problems with editing and not rewrites.
It's been an interesting 2 plus years of working on this. I'd never written fan fiction or anything even remotely this long. It was supposed to be easy. A story that took place over a week. I figured drain a Rainboom a day, plus some Shadow Bolt/Cinch nastiness, maybe 2 chapters a day so like 14 main chapters, maybe 1500 words per chapter, easy...yeah that didn't happen. I mentioned last post that I was looking at 38 chapters (with 3 epilogues). So I finished out with 43 chapters plus the prologue and 3 epilogue chapters we're looking at 50 chapters total.
It's late, I'm working up the courage to press publish. I hope you enjoy the new chapter. I promise you will not have to wait as long for the next chapter.

Good to know, thx for the update. :twilightsmile:

Take your time. Don't push yourself if you don't think the thing is ready.

Khanks for the update.

The latest bit is sad. But I hope that there is a happy ending.
