Hello everyone! I'm not dead… but I have not been as active as I once was. You all deserve an explanation to why this stories haven't been going forward as of late.

First off I want to say I've NOT lost a disinterest in these stories. "In A Perfect World", "TLK 3", "Lion of Durin," All of these are stories that are near and dear to me because they were the first big projects I began… but I need to finish them and I want to. Not just for myself but for all of you out there who enjoy them and want to see the story fulfilled and see where the characters go and what happens to them. But there have been things that have been going on and I need to address them and let you all know about them to. Nothing life threatening… unless you count 2020 as a whole. Lol. But still big things that have stalled my writing and creativity.

1. 1. College and money

I'm 24 years old and going on 25 next march. I don't have the freedom like I used to when I was younger to sit down and write things for people… for free that is. I need to work on college papers, need to make money for food and living, and I need to help out my family and be there for friends during these rough times. I've considering doing commission works like people do on deviantart for artwork but I'm not entirely sure how to do it, plus I know you guys enjoy the free content and chapters I've been putting out and I want to keep doing that but… unless I focus on getting stuff into my bank account then I wont have anything.

2.2. Time Management.

Going to be honest, I suck at time management and prioritizing. Unless I got friends checking in once in a while, I get distracted on personal projects. Not sure if it's my attention span or stress on real life issues but I've struggled greatly in terms of prioritizing personal projects like writing and fanfiction. That one's on me and how I'm wired. Sorry guys.

3.3. Loss of chapters.

So originally, I had all of the chapters laid out for what I write for each of them and I had my original script for TLK 3 that I wanted to revise (That thing had 29 completed chapters before I made the hard call to reboot it) But then suddenly a virus hit and all things back in 2016-2019 went poof. So… big demoralizing hit for me personally. I tried to pick up the ball but it really struck me in the core to lose all of that nostalgic and good mapped out story plans.

4.4. YouTube and voice acting

That's not to say I haven't been productive all this time. I've actually started YouTube! Rogue Lion Productions! There I've been doing voice acting, practiced my editing, and started making content for a wider range of audiences. I've hit over 100 subs so far on my personal channel and I'm also doing commission work on making Betrothed (a lion king fan comic made by deviant artist Nala15) into a motion comic with voice actors, music, sound effects, the whole works! That's where most of my focus has been and in doing so has taken a lot of attention away from the fanfiction site.

So this has been what's been going on in the background. Again, I'm very sorry for my lack of and I'll be trying to get chapters and content out for all of you in terms of fanfiction stories. In the meantime, my channel "Rogue Lion Productions" has been active and will continue to crank out videos for character skits and content reviews in the future. So until then I'll try to respond to any reviews given (By people with accounts. They don't give me the option to respond with guests) and will work to be more active in my ventures.

Until then guys, I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and until next time this has been Rogue Lion, signing off!
