It’s  time to let go

I never like to admit when a project I once loved has died. It feels like losing a child, like I’ve neglected something to death.

Realistically this blog has been dying for a few years now. Never really got any asks, and the few I did weren’t really anything I could use. It was fun while it lasted, but I think it’s time to move on.

Even though it was a time of my life I would never want to forget and I am not ashamed of, I am over ponies now. Ever since the midway point of season 5 I just haven’t been into it. I’ll probably still follow some of my favorite blogs, like LoveStruck Derpy and Flufflepuff, but I am no longer inspired to contribute to this community myself. 

So this is an official announcement for all my pony related blogs: 

Doctor Whooves Sings

Pony Bits

Track Spin Productions

These blogs will no longer be active. Or more; I will cease to pretend these blogs were still active.

That being said, I will leave them open for personal reasons. I am a bit of a hoarder, after all. And to those of you who followed these blogs, I understand if they were the only reason you were interested in me, but I do have other things to offer. I make music and occasionally draw other things on my Mod/Art blog: ChatookaMusicMod.tumblr.com (Currently Cha2kaSpoopy4Music) and I have a new OC answering questions on my main blog: StarkWhiteSaturn

So for those of you who stuck around this long, if the lack of ponies isn’t a deal breaker, I’d love for you to stick with me a little longer.

Thanks for reading ~Chance “Chatooka” Taylor

Reduction in productivity

Real life is taking it's toll.

 What's happening

Here's how Geared Odyssey and I work; each week on Sunday night we have a meeting. This meeting usually lasts from around 10 pm and 6 am because I work nights Monday through Thursday, and Geo was between jobs, so it helped me sleep all day Monday. During this meeting we usually finished the next week's update, and decided what the next one would be. During the week we worked on our parts of it when we could, and came together and finished it at the next meeting. Rinse and repeat.

Well it's not so simple anymore (not that I'd say it was in the first place).

Geo recently got a job working midnight to 10, Monday through Thursday. This makes our weekly meeting impossible, because he has to go to work Sunday at midnight. Along with that, I am also about to get a new job on day shift. Between these new hours and other obligations (family, girlfriend, housework, etc.) it is very difficult for us to find the time to work on the comic, much less reschedule our weekly meeting.

What this means for the comic

This does NOT mean the comic is canceled, or even on hiatus. This is something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember drawing, but I never had the skill or conviction before now (or Geo's awesome support). We've barely just begun; no way am I giving up now.

Geo and I will try to meet up when we can, and we will figure out a new regular schedule somehow. To relieve some strain on both of us, and to keep updates going, we will now only be updating twice a month. These updates will still be on weekends, but which weekends those are will depend on availability.

I know we only have 7 followers thus far, and 4 of you are actually friends of ours, but I am still so grateful for your support and readership. Those likes, reblogs, and even comments on dA are a big part of what keeps me going when it almost seems this thing isn't even worth it. Thank you so much, and I hope you stay with us through this rough spot.

Ya know, these bio posts are supposed to double as information and an easy intermission so we don't get trampled under our own schedule. That being said, between work, home life, sleep, and other future projects, I just couldn't keep up.

BUT I WILL PUSH ON!
