    Hey all... been a while, huh?

    Hello everyone! dastrdlyW here. Most of you probably read the first story I had featured on Equestria Daily, Sparkle No More, which was inspired by two pieces of art I saw on DeviantArt. I worked on that story on and off for five years. Mostly off, but still.

    Chapter 9 is up

    The final chapter is up. This is how I've always wanted to end the story, and now it's done.

    I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did writing it.

    Chapter 8 is republished!

    Hello all! Chapter 8 has been fixed and Chapter 9 is undergoing some major work now! I've got a solid ending, now I've got to make everything flow and add on a new scene I've been working on. No promises, but my hope is to have this chapter out by the end of the month at the latest. My hope is to have it done sooner, but with work and school, I don't always have a lot of time.

    THE END IS NEIGH!

    It's official. I've completed the story. I've written out what I believe to be a fitting ending to the story. Loose ends are tied up, I think I've found all continuity errors, and now it's time for the editing.

    Chapters 1-7 updated, removing Chapter 8 for major editing.

    Hello all, Chapters 1-7 of Sparkle No More have undergone some changes, with chapter 6 having undergone major changes. Nothing was changed in the sense of what happens, but mainly how it happens. Chapter 8 I realized has some major problems as well with some things I've added, so chapter 8 is going to be removed for now until I fix it. I don't know how much will be changed of

I just don't know anymore · 6:41pm Jun 21st, 2014

I love Sparkle No More. I really do. I don't want to see it die. But I've had no motivation to write.

I want to the fans of the story to be happy, but I know my original ending will leave a lot of people dissatisfied, so I wanted to change it up and see what I can do, but this is proving much harder than I anticipated.

Emotion is hard. And I don't know how to go about writing my final chapter anymore.

SNM isn't canceled yet, but it's looking to be a possibility...

My humble advice would be to follow your original vision - that's the one that will most likely flow with the rest of the story. I'm guessing the readers will get it.

I agree with the dobermans, just follow ur original plan, look it can't be as bad as mass effect 3's ending!

See the thing is, the new ending will be better. More realistic, more emotion, etc., which is what I want NOW. My original ending just seems so subpar compared to what I know I could do to make it better. But it's just much harder to decide what I want and where I want it, how I want people to react, and how stuff is resolved.

So I don't know. I may throw up a poll and see what people say.
