The mistake, apparently, was writing Too Far.
So I've corrected that mistake by removing the story. The sequel is cancelled as well.
I never meant to offend anyone.
I'm sorry.
Think of me what you will, one way or another.

What?
Hey hey, what happened? Firstly, I wanna say that I read your story Too Far and loved it and looked forward to the sequel just like the other users who loved Too Far and wanted a sequel to it.
I know you don't know me, but you seem like a really good writer. You can talk to me on any problems you're facing if you like. Will do my best to listen and help.
Yet another internet drama goes on, and once again I have no clue until it's all over.
Still, while that story was a bit harsh and grim, I still don't think you went too far with it. Hell, I'd rather see a bunch of rape/torture/gorefest fics removed of this site than Too Far.
EDIT: oh Glorious Gods of typewriting, why have thee abandoned me?
Okay, what happened?
SInce we are on the subject, I was not offended. To me ,the story was about how every choice has a consequence, and even though you might get a do over, that doesn't mean you just made it "right". Diamond still had to live with the fact that she was the root of her problems.
Yeah, I'm pretty confused at what's going on here. I thought that story was great. I don't know how it could have offended anyone.
The story has a lesson to it; don't be a bitch.

Several, both publicly and privately, pointed out a number of plotholes and inconsistencies. Along with rather painful accusations that I was belittling both suicide and bullying by having Discord press the 'undo' button. The most recent comments sealed it.
There was a rather rancid argument in the comments as well, one that I never intended to occur. I just wanted to write a story...
On top of all that, I just wasn't that comfortable writing the story to begin with, but when I get an idea in my head...
I'm not strong. Despite what friends and family think of me, I'm not that strong. It was easier just to remove the story...
Dude, that story was absolutely great! Why were people offended by it?
2117502 To me, the story worked well overall based on the way it was written.
I'm sorry to hear that you are feeling like this now. Try to stay strong okay?
What the hay, that was a good story and I was really waiting for the next part. There were so many ways that could have gone. Case in point the end of “Mothers” when it looks as if Barricade is going to make her own batch of gryphon pate, and in the next part it turns out totally different.
That having been said, I would sincerely ask you to reconsider terminating the story.
It is tho your decision, it's your story after all, however I think you are about to find out that there are quite a few others who feel the same way.
Huh. For what it's worth, I thought it was a good story. Plot holes and inconsistencies are unavoidable, really. There is not a single story that follows canon to the letter, including really prominent ones. Still, your choice completely. You're a fantastic author, despite what some people may feel about a story that comes out a little controversial.

WHAT?!?!?!? NO!!!!!! PLEASE NO!!!!!! PLEASE PUT IT BACK UP PLEASE!!!!!! I WAS WAITING EAGERLY FOR THE SEQUEL!!! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!
So some people think you went too far with that story, but are okay with the countless clopfics on this site?
People
Though i'm sure many supporters will come out now in this comment section, and I personally thought the story was fine, it's ultimately your decision. I am a bit curious to know how people found the story offensive
.
EDIT- I was dumb and didn't read the prior comments. Woops.

I agree.
...apparently, they let inmates out of the Tumblr Asylum now. That's not good.
Opinion: screw those people. The "i'm offendeeeed" crowd is not worth your, or anyone's time.
Oh god damn it.
At least I downloaded it before you deleted it.
Shit. I never finished reading it. I guess that's what I get for putting it off
God dammit , I missed something again didnt I?
Wow, I hadn't really read any comments after reading the story, so I guess I'm a little in the dark as far as what was going on.
Personally, I liked the story. I didn't really like how quickly and painlessly it ended, I would have liked to have seen more of DT's challenges in changing her behavior.
What were people 'offended' about? Dinky's suicide? I see what people could dislike about the story, but 'offended'? People are far too literal about the term, and besides, it's not like they're being forced to read it. Didn't it also have a 'Dark' tag? How can people claim to be offended by a story with a dark tag? It's a big red warning shouting 'contains possibly offensive material'!
</rant>
It wasn't a mistake.
It's okaym you wrote a story people made you feel bad, they felt bad. They shouldn't have..but they did anyway. Watch your back friend, stay strong in times to come
sorry for melodrama, just some advice from me 
The tide begins
2117603 I'm sorry... I'm gonna focus on the stories I'm actually doing well on at the moment...

Do you still have a copy of the story?
And of what you worked on for the sequel?
2119165 I still have a copy of the story. Of the sequel I have a title and one paragraph. Plus Too Far is still up on my Fanfiction.net site.
2119172
Sweet. God bless you. I actually like that story.
2119172
You said you decided on what Discord's favor would be? (If you did, please don't tell me publicly.)
Can I read the opening paragraph of the sequel you were writing? You said that paragraph was all you got written. I'd like to read it.
Would you mind if someone else wrote a sequel to this in your stead?
You know, I didn't even get a chance to read it. I've read things that sound a million times worse than your story friend. But if you really were uncomfortable writing it then I understand. Hope to see you better in the future, you are a very good writer no matter how much criticism you get.
Aww! I quite liked the story! Loved it even!
Buh.. whu... WHAA? How was that excessively offensive? So what if the undo button of chaos is there, it just means that Diamond Tiara gets a second chance! Does that mean that being able to rewind consequences is bad because you don't like that character and "How come she gets a second chance and I don't" happens? It's about consequences of actions, not about how Dinky dies or about how cruel DT was. If you rewrite it without the death and have Dinky in a terrible and very bad accident where she's barely hanging on, everything else happens, I doubt there'll be as many negative comments. Just my cents.
2119172 Well, thank Celestia for small favors! I was just looking for it to RE-read it, and here I find that you've deleted it, and that you've canceled the sequel all because of the comments of some slack-wits.
I sincerely hope that the jerks are happy. I, for one, am not.
I'm glad that it's still up on you FF.net account, though. I'm gonna go look it up so I can read it again.
And it (and you, to my Favorite Authors. If I haven't already, that is) when I get there.
*sighs* Sorry to hear about this. Like so many of your readers, KM, I really liked the story, and was looking forward to the sequel.
Let me give you one little pieace of advice about people who question whether a story is "appropriate." The more you've pissed somebody off, the better someone else will like it. Personally, I think Winston Churchill's line of, if you've never made anyone upset, you've never stood for anything, applies here. Don't let a few bad seeds ruin something for the rest of the world. You have almost 1000 followers, and I will bet that very few if any of them were the ones that complained. Better to let the ones who are upset leave on their own, they losing hair about it yourself, and taking away something your fans enjoy. Just my two cents.
2119150 My friend. PLEASE READ You really can't be so hard on yourself. Whatever those comments is nothing compared to the amount of good ones you've seen. Think about it. You got tons of likes a favourites and your feeling sad because some half-wits through some bad comments at you.
Now don't think I don't know how you feel because I DO, if not, more.
I was very suicidal in a part of my life and I really struggled to get out of bed everyday. Most of the time I went on FimFiction.net to read a story and leave my depressing life for a few hours. It was bittersweet, but it helped me. Only a few stories connected with me, but the first story that caught my eye was one called "Waking Nightmares"
By the time I found it I couldn't believe how much I liked it and very few stories get to me like that. This story helped me through a rough time and now I feel down that I can't read the rest of it.
I'm not asking you to continue the story. I just want you to know that those commenters are fools. You need to learn that some people are just cruel and deserve to be punished...
......o.O Well, I'm so thrilled Scribbler had a voice play of this or else I would have never known about this fantastic fic (which I loved BTW). I have no idea what happened that caused it's deletion, but I thought it was great and I was interested in what a sequel would have been.
Anyway, I hope you feel proud about this fic, no matter what reaction you got.
Peace
2119172 Now I know this is beyond late, and there is nothing that can be done to change your mind, but I wanted to offer you my gratitude for writing this story.
I found Too Far via Scribbler's post on youtube and after discovering that the story had already been taken down I wanted to offer my condolences but couldn't find the words. Now I feel I must finally speak. So I found a video to try and show that you are not alone.
Know that I have nothing but respect for you as an author and a human being. In the video he mentions not giving up several times and I do not mean this as an accusation against what you chose to do. You did what you felt was best, and I respect that because I respect you. I just hope that this experience didn't cause you to shy away from the darker paths.
Because some stories need to be told. Because what is done here, what you do here, matters.
