A Saga Finished · 10:06pm Oct 31st, 2013
So that's that. It's all said and done. The 99 Worlds Saga is complete, ten stories and. A lot of words. Am I proud of completing it? I dunno, to be honest. Maybe. I'm happy that people were able to enjoy it, and thrilled that people stayed with me and read through this entire thing. I appreciate that more than my words alone can express.
Originally, this was all just one little story. Moonrise was written purely as a short story to amuse myself and my only goal in the whole thing was to keep the chapters short and stick to the lunar phases. for the chapter titles. That's why it can seem kind of sudden/jagged in places. I was never actually going to post it, but a friend kept badgering me until I did. I've actually never gotten less nervous about posting my writing. I've always been a trouble magnet and all, so. Anxieties. But people seemed to like the stories, and I mean. It's easy to take for granted that just finishing a story is a success. That if even one other person enjoys your ideas, it's a victory.
So I kept posting the stories as I finished them and here we are today. Am I going to keep writing ponies? Probably, but I'm taking a little hiatus right now for some personal projects that need attention. I promise in spite of how horribly twitchy I get when trying to talk about myself I'll do a post or two on that in the future, because a few people might be interested.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you. For reading, watching, favoriting, just looking. It's all very much appreciated. It's been a long road, but I think it's been worth it, too.

Wow! What a ride, take as long as you want friend, your rest is well earned.
Of course it was the first story that got me hooked, all the other authors were writing sad fic
Luna stories, or whiny Luna. I really appreciated the fact that you took her and placed her in a
assertive/ kickass role. Other authors place her as being a "lesser" Alicorn or constantly in the shadow of her sister. You gave her a personality that was all her own, I really wish the official cannon would pick up on this. The T.V show gives her too little time to adequately build character ( and the comics are not much better, I really wanted her to fight Nightmare Rarity, but then she was all like "woe is me, I am a helpless flower!") As technology gets more advanced maybe we can redo the show in your vision. I'd much rather hear Luna calling everypony "fat and stuffy!!" Than being all depressed/ bitch/ unsure of herself mare that the show portrays her as.
Anyway, Good job, rest for now.
(Can you imagine Tabitha St. Germain yelling in Luna's voice; "Everypony Look! and behold my might battering ram!!")
It may be complete but I have yet found the time to read it, I've been trying to get to it for a while but... One day... one day I shall read it in all it's glory, and hope that my addiction to reading won't cause me to read it all in a month's time frame, or maybe I would... you never know.
It's been a helluva ride
I love your characters so much.... It's so sad that I won't get to read about them anymore...
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing world with us and I can't wait to read more from you.

I really wish I could explain how Luna became Luna, but... she just spoke to me, and this is the story my hands wanted to tell. I mean, my stories are like. Way, way, way out in left field compared to the show, and I highly doubt that my particular visions would be appreciated all that much - or even acknowledged - by anyone involved with Show, but... I dunno. This was the story. I just write the story. Although yes, that is a fantastic image.
I'm really glad you found it so enjoyable, though... and well, there's never a true rest. A break from ponies for a little while, maybe, even though I've got lots of ideas running around in my head still. But the train keeps moving.

No worries. That's the great thing about stories. They're there to be read when you want to. I'm just happy to know people are so interested in tackling the series, and it really is a pleasure for me to know when people even try to give them a look.

It really has. I never really imagined it'd turn into what it did.

I really appreciate that, thank you. It means a lot to me to hear it's been so enjoyable, and I hope that if you ever do read more of my writings in the future, be they pony or not, you'll enjoy the stories just as much. You really don't have to thank me for writing my silly stories; instead, I should be thanking you for taking the time to read them.
time to reread them all

The train keeps rolling, it is a never ending cycle.
Peace!
