The Absence Explanation and the Future of Lunabotic



Hey everyone, long time, no post, huh? So I’m sure some of you have noticed my absence. Mostly because I’ve been gaining a few new followers recently. Which is honestly surprising given the last storyline post was over 3 months ago now. That being said, I feel I owe you guys an explanation.

So first off, no, I’m not dead. Still alive. So that’s good.



Now that’s out of the way, I’ve not been updating for two main reasons: Lack of motivation and being busy. I know, right? So original~

We’ll tackle the being busy part first since it’s easier to explain. For those who don’t know I’ve been having my first year of college. Along with this, I recently(-ish) became a moderator of the official Five Nights at Freddy’s subreddit (que the collective groans at the mention of said game). With all my coursework to do and my new found responsibilities, along with the simple fact I maintain a healthy relationship and (sort of) a social life, I’ve been way too busy to do much for Tumblr without being extremely tired and/or drained from the rest of the day. But as you know, that doesn’t mean I don’t get freetime here and there, so we move onto the next problem. Motivation.



While I still watch the show and follow along every time a new episode has come out, I’ve found myself moving away from the fanbase. Don’t get me wrong, I love where I’ve gotten with it, but the spark is just missing. I thought a break would help but it’s really not for whatever reason, which I guess could be due to the busy schedule as previously mentioned.

Additionally, I’ve looked back on my blog and… well… it’s BAD. REALLY BAD. I’m sorry for those who really like Lunabotic but… this story’s pacing is all over the place, relationships are super unrealistic/forced and it just gets way too cliche at times. I think I even knew this back when I made the posts but I was too busy focusing on moving the story along to put time and care into the execution of said story. It’s tough to have passion for something that is already in such a bad state. Sure I could restart the blog but I’d just have to remake a bunch of stuff and my motivation is low enough as it is, not to mention the almost 6,000 followers who have followed along with the story up until this point.

I really had no idea what to do with this blog for a while. I don’t want to give up on it because of how far it’s come and the name it has made for me in the community, but at the same time to even continue the story with one post every few weeks would be me forcing motivation. I can only think of one solution where this burden is lifted but the blog survives without me having to give up the blog completely. And that’s if someone else takes the reins (get it?) of being the main artist of Lunabotic.



However, until a new artist can be found, Lunabotic is officially on permanent hiatus. I’m sorry to everyone who enjoyed it so far.



Reblogs are very much appreciated in this circumstance.
