The End?

Like all good things, it seems that Twisthammer is nearing its end.

Originally, the Twisthammer setting was supposed to be an extensive look at this alternate universe, with its own homemade Legion rules, campaigns, and a fiction series covering the most prominent players within the setting. As it stands, there is nearly half a million words of fiction written in the setting, comprised of three full novels, detailed faction descriptions, and a lengthy timeline addressing the pivotal events in the setting.

For whatever reason, the setting did not seem to draw interest from the public, despite the prevalence of other alternate Horus Heresy/Warhammer 40,000 scenarios. It was good while it lasted, and it was enjoyable to write in, however, it is very disheartening to continue writing the setting when there is no interest in it. Perhaps I am wrong and there are readers out there curious about the further adventures of Iskanderos, Angelus, and their friends, but so far, the lack of comments and feedback are making it difficult to find motivation to continue.

To put it bluntly - unless there is clear indication of interest in this setting, it will not be continued. The blog will remain here, as will the novels (in their respective threads on the Writer's Ark forum), but no new material will be created.

Fan-fiction is a different world from traditional writing, since there is no expectation of financial gain from it in any shape or form. It is fed purely by reader interest, which in turn serves to motivate the writer to create more. As it stands, there is not enough interest in Twisthammer to justify spending my time telling the stories from this universe, and to put it simply, I am lacking in motivation to continue this. Unless there is any eleventh-hour outpouring of interest, this will be it for Twisthammer and associated projects.

C'est la vie, I suppose.
