We're over halfway done with the finale-arc

At this point, it's safe to say that we're finally over halfway done with the finale arc. While there are plenty of twists left, I just want to take a moment to be happy that we've made it this far, that you've stayed with the story all these adventures of not just Twilight Sparkle and her friends, but also the Dark World Chaos Six, the ORIGINAL Starlight Angel and her six friends as read by Luna, Pinkie, Twilight, and Zecora, the adventure the GREATLY underestimate G3 ponies and the dream world they struggled to keep from falling into darkness, and the surprise adventures of the Nightmare Six as they struggle to find their own redemption, and Shining Armor and Cadence's adventures and their battle against Chrysalis, it'll be a long and hard journey, and it's far from over. But I'm proud of the progress we've made so far. I just hope I can keep up the pace, no, I just need to keep up the pace of one chapter per-week, it's not the best, but at least it give me enough leeway room to think each chapter through as I write it and gives Louis a week to do his edits. 

There have been many, MANY painful moment along the way, both in real life and within writing the story itself... I never intended the pony pov series to be as long as it was... it was intended to end with the epilogue of Discorded ponies. But my OCD got the better of me. And here I am, over four years later, and still going. 

But the joke is... if I hadn't... I likely would have NEVER gotten into MLPTs, G3, G2, G3.5, the British comics with Queen Majesty and her son Lucky.  BTW: Did you know there were comics in Pony Magazine of the My Little Pony Tales girls?! There is a bloody lot of lore to these plastic toy pony dolls. 

And... I regre the friends I've lost because of things both beyond my control, selfish mistakes, and oblivious mistakes that I've repeated over and over and over. 

I'm happy you're still here. And that you still want to see how things go. 

I'll admit, I went through the 'people dying equals mature writing' phase, that it was the only way to show readers you meant business. I apologize to Starlight Angel for that. 

At least I was able to free Filthy Rich of the racist personal of Onyx Tiara I stuck him with! 

Discord saw his heart world self redeemed a long while ago, and has it rubbed in his face many a time that they are EQUALLY evil and awful, and yet heart world Fluttershy was able to give the monster something besides himself to feel dear towards. 

Golden Tiara is free of Screwball once and for all, and she's now seen that she was MUCH MUCH CLOSER to becoming her heart world, Spoiled Rich, self than she could have imagined. 

And of course, we now see once and for all that Pinkie's sister and Octavia are indeed NOT the same pony in the heart world... I wonder how this could effect future events. 

So many characters (which I've been told was a weakness of the wedding arc)... so much story... I only hope I can do them justice when we reach the end of this story. 

Thank you all of you who have stayed with the story so far, and if there are those of you who have taken a break from it, maybe you should try a little catch up. I promise the best is yet to come. 

I DO intend to end the Pony POV Series with the final battle with Discord . . .  If any wants to write the pony pov series version of them taking on Sombra, a monster born from the refused to be faced darkness in the heart of every crystal pony . . . not to mention the epics beyond... I'd be honored and they'd have my blessings. 


Still... we're past the halfway point I'd say at this point with Fluttershy's barrier undone... Now only the two of the three big sisters remain. I hope you stuck with us for the ride! 

Thanks everyone!
