    So, I've got some bad news. I'd originally started this quest under the idea that I'd be able to keep two quests going at a time. 'It'll be easy', I'd thought, 'I'll just write an update for one while waiting for votes on the other.'

    Sadly, it hasn't worked out like that. Working on one quest and one story is very different than two quests at once, and I'm not able to handle it. I've made so many mistakes and haven't done my due diligence on the setting of Quarantine Flint well enough for my liking, because I'm too focused on my other quest, and the latest choices and systems in place feel so anemic - in both projects- that I'm unhappy with it.

    Due to that, I'm going to be shutting this quest down. While I don't exactly want to pick between my two babies, I feel obliged to focus more on the one that had started earlier and has more weight behind it. On top of that, this one is new enough that putting it on break or hiatus would mean that, months from now, when I come back to work on this, the already-low playerbase will be even more reduced

    So I think what I'll be doing is continuing to work on my other quest, and going back to writing my TES fic on the side. In the future, when Sleeping Dragon is over, I'll be starting over and rebooting the Shard Alchemist as something I can devote real time and focus to.

    I don't read your other quest and I liked this one. But I also like the TES fic so it's not all bad news.

    Not a problem Zerrer, we've all bitten off more then we can chew sometimes. I'll be around in Sleeping Dragon, and when that's done and if you want to start this one back up, post a link here or give me a PM and I'll be there!

    Between the two I'm glad you picked this one to axe over the TES one as it's a lot more interesting and, frankly, better.
