It is with great reluctance I must announce that I am discontinuing Technology is Magic and The Nightmare Technomancer. My tagline on my profile is “Always enjoy writing or your stories will suffer as you do.” Well, I’m just not enjoying it anymore and I know that if I force myself to continue, the story will suffer for it. I will be the first to admit that I made mistakes while writing this. I’m not perfect, no one is. But lately it feels like I am making nothing but mistakes. I know

Okay chapter 27 and 28 weren't as well received as I hoped (especially chapter 28). I'll readily admit I made some mistakes with them so I'm going to rewrite them in order to fix those mistakes. In the new version, Pixel will be the one to be shredded by Natura instead of Gerhardt. So should she die in chapter 28 while Gerhardt is trying to fix her? Or should she live but suffer some sort of complication like Gerhardt did in the original version? I'm asking because I would rather avoid

So I'm thinking in the next chapter I'll have Gerhardt conduct an experiment in an attempt to use what he learned from scanning Celestia and Luna to use necromancy to create the soul of a demigod. I have a few different ideas of how this could possibly go, but I wanted to ask what you all think first. Should he fail? Should he succeed? If he succeeds should it move on to the afterlife as he intends, should the gods intervene and give it its own body, or should it form a body for itself and go

I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with filler to pad out the story, as you may have been able to tell by the past couple of chapters. So I'm thinking of having a bit of a time skip a couple of months ahead all the way to winter. Would you guys mind if I did so? I mean if you don't want me to, I can keep trying my best to come up with a bit more filler. After all a season only lasts about three months and a single month has already passed since the start of Fall in this story, so I would

I have multiple versions of chapter 16 that I've thought of and have partially written out.

So, I'm in a bit of a conundrum at the moment. You see Gerhardt has been in Equestria for quite awhile now. That in and of itself wouldn't be a problem if it wasn’t for the fact that the seasons have to change eventually. I want the seasons to match up with the cannon story so I don't accidentally screw up the timeline.

I've finished rewriting chapter 9. I would sort of like to know if you guys think its better or not.

Strawpoll Link

So, a couple people have informed me that my most recent chapter feels a bit forced. I don’t like it when my stuff feels forced. It's embarrassing to me as an author. So do you guys think that I should rewrite this chapter? Because I am more than willing to do so.

Strawpoll link

Basically, I would like to know if you guys want Gerhardt to build it to have any, all, or none of the biological magic of the ponies and if he should build it with them to begin with or if they should be added as upgrades over time.

Since very few people actually respond to my questions in the comments here's a link to a strawpoll I created for it instead: Strawpoll link

I am an author not an artist so these aren't the best pictures ever. Further more they are just my really poorly drawn interpretations of these things so they are not 100% accurate so don't take the depictions as entirely cannon but they should at least get the point across, so here ya go I guess.

Gerhardt:
