Perils of youth · 1:16am Mar 30th, 2014
Being incredibly old and therefore more or less in charge of my own destiny, or something like that, I have a tendency to forget that this fandom contains rather a lot of folk a long way from reaching that happy point on the scale.
And then a reminder comes from out of the blue:
Dear readers,
I know many of you have been waiting for new chapters of different stories. Unfortunately, my parents have forbidden me to go on this website ever again. I'm not even supposed to be doing this now. I wish I could do more but I cannot. So, I will no longer be posting stories or new chapters to previous stories. I am EXTREMELY sorry for everything. I wish my parents didn't care about me watching my little pony and me going to this website. But they do and I am forbidden. My most sincere apologies to all of you waiting for new chapters. This will be the last activity of bricann forever. I am sorry again to all of you and I truly hope that this will not be the entire end. BMAGIC678 is working and continuing When the Moon is Full for me. I am hoping you all can understand and I appreciate all of you who have supported me throughout my time on FimFiction.
My Sincere Apologies,
bricann
I suspect that for every one we hear about, there are several others who simply disappear into the mist, their stories occasionally read, their user pages never updated.
And I really hate to lose someone whose stuff I'd read. (I did like one of her stories, This Day Has Been Just Perfect, which poses the question of what would have happened had Twilight and Cadance never made it out of the caverns below Canterlot.) I suppose nothing lasts forever, though temporary taxes come closest.
That sucks. I'm just glad that won't happen to me. Considering my dad watches Glee, I think I'll be fine.

It does at that. If she'd said that her grades were suffering, maybe I'd have understood the parental demand -- but she didn't say that, only that she wasn't allowed to get near the pastel ponies anymore. (The use of "she" is an assumption, based on the one reference to her I could find by another user.)

Some parents are just bad people. Hers clearly are. Any parent who would deny their child of a harmless activity - the creation of art, of all things - that makes them happy isn't a parent at all.
