tl;dr: I have decided to put Under Ice on hold indefinitely

-Yes, I will leave up the chapters I have posted so far.
-Yes, chapter 11 is done.
-No, I will not be posting chapter 11.


I've recently gotten really gross comments about some of the characters. I think it might be best to sort of take a break.
-Rift is a character that pertains mainly to Under Ice, so there probably won't be more stories that include him(by nature of discontinuing the story).
-There is also a short story about Zag and Arge as my featured submission, that I may remove from my front page (It is based on Under Ice.)
-I might also refrain from writing about Arge in any other short stories at the moment. I know that seems unrelated, but... there was a comment about him that makes my skin crawl.

-No, NONE of the comments were on Furaffinity. Y'all are fine.

I think I maybe bit off more than I can chew (heh) with this story. I'm proud of the work I did, but as someone who's been writing for 1 year, maybe I don't have the skills it takes to portray the characters accurately. Or to brush off disturbing comments, for that matter. It's not that any of it surprises me, on this man-made monstrosity we call The Internet, but some comments related to this story make me wish that I could wash my brain with soap and water.
I have a ton of commissions coming up, and definitely some other short stories, so you can definitely look forward to those! I'm also hoping to pick Under Ice back up when I have a bit more writing experience and the skills to do it right. Just, for now, I'm going to focus on things that are more my writing-level, and work my way up a bit. Didn't I mention, my goal on this site is to just get better at writing, endlessly, forever? :P

Well, that's all the news I have for now!
