    A Lost Sunset

    Hello everypony,

    If you've seen recent blog posts, you know I've been cancelling my stories. I've lost interest in writing and...well, I honestly haven't been able to come up with ideas for my stories. This includes A Lost Sunset, as I had no idea where to go with it, and still don't.

    Hi everypony,

    I come today to say...well, I'm cancelling my stories. I'm going to cancel the smaller ones first, as I honestly don't remember where I was going to go with those stories. These stories being the Twilight and Moondancer Investigations, Crystal Queen of Sunsets and The Funny Little Guy.

Two more downvotes for A Lost Sunset.

Granted, I knew that people weren't going to like the latest chapters I released. I don't like them. But...they were the only way I could think of to reset the story back to where it was before the arc.

Oh well...here's to more writing. I should be able to get this next chapter done soon...

I guess I have no luck on this site...that or there are way too many haters.

Don't worry about the downvotes, you have way more upvotes. I like the story and I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

4319426 Thanks. Hope you didn't mind the horrible two chapters I just released.

Yeah, don't worry about downvotes, I have gotten a lot too, even with my most popular fanfic.

4319434 Yeah...I guess that's true. I'm not the best in terms of being positive. Thanks.

4319430 Yeah, its the same for me.

Basically any time any story updates you get more downvotes. Don't sweat it.

4319444 I know. I just wish people could get more good news for releasing chapters for their stories. You know, to show appreciation over their hard work instead of mean jerks being mean jerks.

4319454 It's alright bud. Even the best of fics get downvotes.

Don't take downvotes and critique hard. If its constructive, think on it. if it's just name calling - no reason to ever react to it.

I'd advise you to request critique on your works to know what people liked and what they think didn't work in your story.
Read and write more, that's all there is to writing. Might sound too simple, but actually it is hard. All worthwhile things are.

4319680 That is true. Writing is super hard.

Stop being negative. Two downvotes is nothing. This is the internet, people will downvote for the most silly things. I've found that the upvote/downvote system here, only tells you something when the ratio between those two, goes beyond 10%. You might as well have all upvotes. And even after that, sometimes a story can get mass downvoted because of things like the topic, and not the actual quality of the story; and that would be a matter of taste from the majority. So, you could have the most amazing story, that only a niche will like, thus have lots of downvotes, and it still wouldn't mean you are a bad writer.

tl;dr: Downvotes on the internet, most of the time, do not reflect how good of a writer you are.

Here's to more writing. :twilightsmile:

I know a story have 793 downvotes!
Is that story so bad?
Neigh, The story have 12024 upvotes.

4319946 Thanks. I'm glad I have fans like you. Welp, back to writing!

4320015 Wow...I've never read that story. Not the biggest fan of one-shots but I might read it.

Haven't read the story yet one yay for 2, and 2 don't pay attention to the down votes

4320259 Eh, its how I am.

Just got done reading and it was just as good as when you started it. Keep it up

Don't worry about the haters. Write what you want to write. I've loved your take on the Sunset Shimmer story so far.
