are you still working on all sales final? i really liked that fic! and i feel like theres still so much mystery

I’m actually currently still on hiatus :) I’m a little …bitter isn’t exactly the right word because everyone has been so so good to me (especially when i wig out over the quality and have an anxiety attack) but im incredibly incredibly burned out by the effort that goes into writing some of these things and then have to beg for comments when I know what I’ve written is good… or good enough xD HAHA I take pride in my work; i put a lot of effort into it, but the amount of work and what I get in return just sometimes is not worth it, ya know? It makes me feel cheap, it makes me feel im being pitied because i get comments when i ask/beg for them, but the drop off when i don’t is loud and clear, and i think inwardly i’m very angry about that, but that’s a problem with every fandom as a whole i think and not just borderlands xD I wish people would support each other more. I’ve actually been re-starting my love with writing fic for the fallout fandom right now, and since i’m not super established, my expectations are low. So so low haha. So I’m doing that at the moment xD

It’s been exactly two months since I last updated that fic. Not really that long in the consideration of such things, but when people seem to think writers stop reading comments when a fic has been out for one week or two (and therefore no one needs to ever comment on it again), and you still get (a lot of) unique hits on your work but no new comments, it kind of fizzles out the desire to write. I feel no urgency to need to update. There’s no spark or anything, and I’m actually desperately trying to get it back because I still love the fandom and all the friends I’ve made in it, but I don’t have an update in the works yet. I still have a lot planned for that story, but I am in zero rush to do anything about it :| I haven’t been very active on this blog lately either because i’m trying to distance myself a bit so that maybe I’ll miss it :) I’m getting jazzed af over halloween and stuff and everyone is being so damn creative right now for october, that i’m hoping some of it will rub off and i can get back to these fics.

In short answer to your question (without my salty-ass salt): yes, i’m still working on it (technically) as I don’t leave fics open and eternally unfinished (*knock on wood*). There is a LOT i’ve set up, both drama, jokes, and silly shit-wise that needs to be addressed, but i just don’t have the energy for that right now so i’ve put myself on hiatus so i don’t end up hating it.

I’d suggest you subscribe to the fic at some point anon, so you’ll be notified when it’s updated :) I do do the update posts here, but I don’t know when that will be, and ao3′s alerts are probably more accurate :)
