Well, fillies and gentlecolts and variations thereupon, I just wanted to throw this out there to my followers and readers, in particular those reading Tears of Gaia. I just wan thank you for giving my story a chance and bothering to actually pay it any attention. I guess this is mostly bcause, in case you could not tell, I put alot of effort amd preparation into this story. Not just the story itself, but the background for it, different languages, settings, new characters, an I tried my best to give as much life as I could to them. And right now, Tears of Gaia is my most popular story in terms of followers, views and rating. It's also my first fic that has actually gotten its own fanart.
Thank you, so much for all this. You guys are all awesome. I don't honestly write my stories for people to read, or for recognition or fandom-fame or any of that bullshit (Heck, I only put this story on EqD bcause one of my local brony friends insisted I give it a shot). I write them for myself, and for my own personal gratification. SO, to see that so many people enjoy something that I write... words cannot describe, man.
However, you're probably wondering why I'm saying all this. Well, it's because the story is reaching a pretty pivotal moment, an ending. Not THE Absolute Ending, but AN ending. And when it does reach this ending, just a heads up, I will be taking a short break from writing so that I can not only get on with other things in my life (Because to be honest, this story has been taking up quite alot of time, both in terms of writing, preparation, translating, etc), as well as working out what will be happening next.
So stay tuned readers, and look out for the next chapter. Because the Blight is on the approach, and something big is in store for our seven intrepid adventurers.
I am more worried that Starswirl will eventually run out of his borrowed life force and suddenly dies without warning.
