Author's Note

Welcome!

So... uhm. I'm... not sure how to say this best, but I have a... strange relation to my work. I don't often think about the fact that there might be people who actually read what I write, and whenever I do, it is... ... woah. It's not something I can really comprehend, and I find myself caring to a ridiculous degree about every down- or upvote or comment. This is so despite or perhaps because of the fact that I try to let my writing be dictated entirely by my own vision, and to let what others might think about it have zero impact on the result.

Anyway, I am really, really sorry about the ending. I've been more emotionally invested into this story than I've ever been into anything I've written before, and, particularly near the end, found myself wishing for Twilight to make it, but... there was never a chance, because the ending was actually the first thing I wrote. I'd been reading Lost and Found, and I had this vision of Twilight and Rarity being out there, failing to reach the world, giving up, making out, and dying, and I sat down and wrote the final chapter. Everything afterwards was destined to reach that point.

I also want to address the fast ending... I originally envisioned this going on for quite a while longer, but I realized near the end that I wouldn't be capable of writing for much longer. I think that my writing tends to be the least terrible – or at least I tend to dislike it the least – when it happens in a moment of inspiration wherein I just write a section in one piece (which I will then reread and edit a million times, but usually without changing much about what happens). If it doesn't work that way, then it'll take much longer and the result will always be worse. And... I was running out of those moments. Everything I thought that Twilight and Rarity wanted to say, they had already said.

I think that's it... if you have any questions or remarks, I'll answer everything that's related to the story.
