Ok, so. How long has it been since I actually sat down and wrote anything for this story?

It's been YEARS. Geeze.

I kind of have explanations, however.

First of all, the PC I was writing it on broke, and it kind of took a while for me to find the motivation to write ANYTHING longer than a oneshot.

Secondarily, I started writing that story right before what must have been the worst period of my life came up. I'm not going into detail but I was a wreck, and sometimes life still overwhelms me so that I find it difficult to do anything, especially if I have to actually put any effort in it.

Third, in the past... what, four or five years? Well, I changed a lot. Things happened, realizations were made, breakdowns were had... same old, same old. My writing style also changed, as a consequence.

Fourth, I realized that Ao3 is just... easier to work with? I mean, it has a pretty rad tagging system and it's easier to navigate, imo. So I kind of moved there.

So, yeah.

Re-reading this, it's obvious to me how juvenile my writing was, and I'm not sure if I will ever pick up this particular story again... however, I may end up (after I finish working on my other projects) writing another FMA x LoZ crossover, this time not set in any canon game, where the Elric bros wake up in some medieval world and, while trying to find a way to go home, find themselves in the middle of a war. Would you be interested in that?
