She's a Pony, He's a Human
Cancelling the story
Previous ChapterNext ChapterYes, you read that correctly. I'm cancelling this story. It was a fun ride, but I feel like it's overstayed its welcome. Now, before you go forming an angry mob, let me explain myself. Please, just give me a chance to explain.
So, there's a few reasons for me cancelling this story. All three of which will be outlined below in detail.
1) I feel no emotion whatsoever when I'm writing for this story. Normally, I convey my own emotions into a story, but here, I feel... nothing. Nothing at all. When I write for this story, I'm sure I come across as bland and boring half of the time. This is the main reason for that.
I mean, I wrote a few one-shots, and in each one I was able to pull off the character's emotions well. Here, everyone just seems plastic and emotionless. Not to mention that each chapter is progressively getting worse and worse with the way the character's interact with one another.
2) I have burned myself out on this story one too many times. I just took a month long break from this story, and I thought I'd come back refreshed and ready to go. And I did! But only for one chapter. This last chapter was just a desperate attempt to keep the story alive by putting in a random crossover, which happened to be Guns N' Roseluck. As an author, I'm appalled that I even did such a thing.
I mean, I basically just used my favorite band as a tool for keeping my nearly dead story alive, and that's not cool. This story has been on life support for a while now, and I keep adding things in at random, hoping to fix it. There's no rhyme or reason anymore. I mean, Twilight sexually assaulted him and he forgot it ten minutes later. That's horribly mediocre writing on my part, and I know I'm better than that.
3) I have other projects I'm more enthusiastic about. I mean, this isn't the only thing I write, and I enjoy doing one-shots at least once or twice a month. I have a bunch of background pony one-shots lined up, but with this story active, I'd have no time to work on them. I even have a story I did for a friend's birthday, and it's going to be released on the 24th. But I decided to make it a chapter story, because I know she'll love it. Not only that, but because I know I'll love it.
That's why I write. I write for myself. I mean, I love you guys, because without you I'd be a nobody on here, but if I'm not enjoying what I'm doing then what's the point of continuing to do it?
I said above that this story has been on life support for a while now. Well, it's time to pull the plug on it, and let it rest in peace. I've been putting this off for too long, and the time has come. I'm certain I'm going to get some hate, most likely A LOT of it, because of this, and I'm fully prepared for it. Besides, if someone can't handle me doing what I want, I don't want anything to do with them. I do hope you'll forgive me and that this won't cause you to unfollow me, but if it does, so be it. Thanks, you guys, for everything. Seriously, I love each and every one of you.
With kindest regards,
Andrew T.K.
