Hi! Been a while, yeah? Anyways, I just wanted to say sorry for the sudden stoppage. But to basically give a quick rundown of what happened, which I posted on Patreon and then felt too nervous to post here:

Lots of stressful things were happening in real life. Writing the story was taking up a lot of my time and while money was not my only goal with writing, I couldn't justify spending all of my free time continuing the story every day on top of everything else that I had going on. I also realized with the latest chapters that I had slowed down the progress a lot more than I had in mind and just wasn't that happy with how things were going.

I planned on posting the rest of the chapters I had on Patreon to here, and then I was going to continue updating but do so a lot less frequently than before, but I got busy, didn't have the time to do it, then when I did have the time I realized how bad it was going to look and got really nervous and was too afraid to even come onto the site to see comments and everything, which made me procrastinate even more, which then made me even more worried about what people were going to be saying if and when I came back, and yeah. So, that was stressful, to say the least.

Also, something else I want to say, just in case anybody has a misunderstanding due to me having had a Patreon: I refunded every payment ever pledged to my Patreon. I never cashed them out in the first place, and I didn't deserve the money for deciding to drop the story, so I refunded everybody before I shut the Patreon down. To the best of my knowledge, they all got their refunds since I kept it open for like a month in case anybody had issues and nobody told me about any.

So yeah! Refunded all my patrons. Wanted to update everybody here, but the much larger amount of people here made me too scared of disappointing everybody, which made me procrastinate, which then made me even more of a scaredy cat.

As for Omnicrafter from here on out: I still want to continue the story. I really, really do. I love the characters and I had so many hecking ideas for it. But, the time investment of treating it as a web serial just isn't worth it at the moment. If anything, I think I would rather just continue it in private and then dump a bunch of chapters all at once sometime in the future whenever I have a whole volume worth's complete. Or just put it straight on Amazon since seeing so many sites pirate my story and put it on there feels bad. I don't know. Either way, I absolutely don't consider this series dead, but I don't blame any of you if you do xD.

So, sorry again for the sudden stop and long silence. I hope that you've all been well, and I hope that you continue being well or start being well!
