Some of you might have noticed a significant fall-off in my activity around the turn of last year. There are multiple reasons for that, which I'd like to explain at least in brief along with a bit of an update.

First, I lost a flash drive that contained several Force Exile-related things that weren't backed up (derp). I had a couple of chapters of Force Exile I that had been reviewed and edited by Mrs. Ataru as well as about a dozen pages of YGS. That was a pretty big motivation killer.

The second issue was frankly, The Last Jedi. I've seen it, and if you like it, well you can keep it as far as I'm concerned. That movie pretty much single-handedly killed my interest in canon, even moreso than after the Expanded Universe was more-or-less dumped. I could rant at length about the flaws in the movie, but. . . the subject has been more or less exhausted at other sources. Suffice to say, it made me not to want to touch Star Wars for awhile.

That said, I am looking to increase my activity levels somewhat in the next couple months. I'll continue work on EGTFE and do something with YGS. Hopefully that's releasing a segment on YGI and steadily working on that. Mrs. Ataru has also indicated that she's interested in returning to FE I, so that'll be the next thing that gets a writing pass. We'll see what happens.

Cheers!
