No More... · 11:17pm May 5th, 2012
I've decided to stop writing BM: Echoes. Earlier when I was writing the next chapter I noticed something. The name Ms. Maple was scattered across the pages. There was barely any direct mention to the filly at all. I then thought about what I had planned for the next few chapters. They revolved around Maple's past and her own character development. I shrugged it off for a little, but then became increasingly anxious as I thought about what I had in store for Maple. I wrote down a general summary and stared at it. I realized something. I completely lost focus of what I wanted to do here...was to tell you the sad tale of that poor barking mare. What I was writing was slowly, but surely, becoming a farce. She was dying, and I was the one killing her with my words..... Thus I can no longer write this and I hope you all understand.

Shame... I had it on my to-read list. Guess I'll cross it out... unless you maybe think you can remake the story from scratch?

Sorry but that's not happening. I think that the first one was enough and there's no need for a sequel. Sorry to disappoint you...
100920 Well, that's a shame. Let's hope somepony else dons the mantle of explaining Screw Loose's dogginess
:c okay

Sorry man...I thank you for your support up till now though.
Hopefully you can write more stories though, you are an awesome writer.

. And I will write other stories. I just couldn't continue this one.
Thank you very much
Y'know...I'm getting more and more ideas for an episodic series I may start in the near future about ponies and mental disorders (I imagined a "Twilight Zone meets Dream Theater's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence and then become friends with MLP" kind of deal).
Perhaps I could have one about Screw Loose -- which I hadn't originally planned, seeing as you were making your sequels -- and as an homage I could keep your story canon...

But one question remains...
Where Applebloom and Maple the same pony?

No they were not. In current MLP FIM canon time the 'barking' pony is a full grown mare, right? In Echoes she is just a filly, about 5 or 6 years old.

Makes sense...
But im still curious...
They had some connection right?

Not entirely, though I thought that Maple's traits and penchant for carpentry would help explain Applebloom's non-apple related skill.
