What the Hell Happened? · 10:19pm Jul 28th, 2014
Yes, what the hell happened to my stories? What happened to the promises I made about sequels and other fun things?
In layman's terms, they went to shit. Here's why.
1. Inspiration died.
2. Interest in ponies steadily dying.
3. Job search.
4. Lots and lots of personal crap going on.
And last but not least,
5. The will to write died.
Lately I've been going through a rough patch, my girlfriend (who will not be named) had a bit of a fallout with her parents that rendered her homeless. (I will not go into further detail.) Since then, she's been living with me in my small apartment because she essentially had nowhere else to go. With that, economy. I will not beat around the bush here, I'm down in the dumps broke. The only economical relief I have at the moment is coming from my parents, as I on slower days work in my father's autoshop. That's not a way to live, I can barely scrape money to rent and don't get me started on money for food.
So, to wrap this up a bit... I'm done for the moment. I can't focus enough to actually write. Pretty much the only free time I have is during evenings and by then I'm so tired I can barely think. Shame it would end this way, but I have to do it. I'm stressed enough as it is and I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do.
Well... Bye guys, it was fun while it lasted.
Ouch, I know how that can be because I went through similar shit myself a while back. All I can really say is to do what you need to do and do not feel like you have any commitments here either way. You can and should leave for as long as you want to without feeling any pressure to stay away or come back.
I also understand where you are coming from on 2 because I have lost most of my interest in the show as well after the mess that was season 4 and especially the finale. At this point, the only reason I am sticking around is that I am still enjoying the stories and community here because I doubt I am going to watch season 5.

The only episodes from season 4 that I've seen was the first two and the finale, didn't bother watching the rest because I had no interest.
Life happens man, you ain't got no obligations on here.
2323945 Ouch. While I am not going to claim the season was great because I was generally disappointed to the point that I skipped half of it, you picked some of the worst episodes to watch. The first one was at best ok from a story perspective with extra helpings of stupid in several places, the second was very forgettable, and the finale was a train wreck on par with Mare Do Well which made a mess of absolutely everything it touched so I am completely ignoring everything to do with it.
