Blog Update: Limited New Reviews

First off, I want to thank everybody who has been supporting this blog and my X-men Supreme fanfiction series. I really do appreciate it. However, I have some unfortunate news to share. In the real world I do have a job and that job has recently changed in a way that is going to make posting reviews to this blog exceedingly difficult. I would find a way to do it if the incentive was there, but in posting these long reviews with scans I'm getting very little in return. Very few people ever bother to post comments and more importantly, at least to me, it hasn't translated into hits on my website for X-men Supreme. These reviews are NOT easy to put together. They take hours of my time and my hope was that it would further enhance my X-men Supreme series. It hasn't. So for that reason, I'll be scaling back my reviews. There simply isn't enough reason for me to continue. I wanted this blog to support X-men Supreme more than anything else. That hasn't happened. I'm not getting hits or comments. So with no incentive and a job that's getting increasingly more hectic, I need to scale. I'm sorry for all those who enjoyed my reviews. But I just got so little feedback the effort does not justify the result. I hope you understand. Thanks again to all those who have supported this blog. I hope you continue to do so.

In other news, I did update my website. I added a bio page for Cameron Hodge. I meant to add it sooner, but I feel behind. It's there now and for anyone looking to fill in the blanks left by his story in the Uprising arc, this should do it.

Thanks again everybody and take care.

  3. Thanks for the comments. Again, I'm sorry, but these reviews take so much time and I get so little for it. Nobody goes to my website. Very few people comment. Where's the motivation to keep going? If I didn't have a job that was so demanding I would probably keep going, but I do. So sadly, this is an inescapable decision for me. I'll still post some reviews from time to time, just not regularly. I'll just have to be very selective about what I review.

  4. I really enjoy your reviews because they're very thorough, thoughtful, and honest (why I couldn't bother to review, though... I'm just really bad at putting my thoughts into words, and I'm afraid my comments will sound silly and uneducated. But I guess that's no real excuse). It's a shame I won't be able to read updates on a regular basis. I can imagine how much hard work it takes for you to compile your reviews, but to get little to no feedback. Though with a job that demands a lot of your attention, your priorities do have to come first. I shall continue to visit your blog and check out any updates you may do. Please take care and keep up the wonderful work that you do.

  6. Thanks guys! I do appreciate the support. It's a shame it had to come under an announcement like this. But there's really not much I can do about it. Work does suck, but it puts food on the table. Plus, my focus and my baby is my website. I want that to grow and this blog didn't seem to be helping it. I need to find another way. I hope others do enjoy it, but for now the reviews have to be scaled back until I see a reason to continue again.

  8. Thank you very much. I hope you don't lose interest too much. Like I said, I'll post some reviews now and then. I just won't post them as often as I once did. My focus needs to be on my job and my website. I wanted this blog to compliment my website, but so far it hasn't. Until I find a way to make that happen, I have to cut back. I appreciate the understanding.

  9. Did you see this picture of Havok in the new Xmen movie coming out?! I wanna see him use his powers! http://bit.ly/fWq6Qb

  10. Yes, I saw that too. It's about as appealing as having an old woman with Parkinsons shave your balls. The new X-men movie has it's appeal. Havok isn't one of them. This movie franchise has butchered so much with the last two films. I have no faith that this one will be better. We know how it ends. Xavier will get killed by Phoenix and Magneto will turn into a douche-bag. There, I just spoiled X-men First Class. Your welcome.
