Watch (This) Space · 3:38am Mar 10th, 2020
Hello everyone!
I've been gone on hiatus for a few years. I stopped watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the middle of the seventh season. But a few months ago, my interest was rekindled. And the last two seasons were fantastic. The high point, for me, is the new characters -- the Student Six -- who breathed fresh life into the show.
So I've come back to give you a new story. I intend to start writing soon. I hope you will enjoy it!

The story is (yes, again!) inspired by -- and a homage to -- a game. My favorite game of the last decade. I'm even giving the story the same title. But unlike my previous work, this is not going to be a crossover or fusion fiction. It will not be AU. This story is set firmly after "The End of the End" (but before "The Last Problem"), and is purely a My Little Pony story.
I anticipate roughly twenty parts, including a prologue and an epilogue, and a length of around 150-200K words. The genre tags will be Adventure, Drama, Romance and Horror. And the featured characters will be Ocellus, Smolder, Luna and the Young Six. [Edit: Only three genre tags allowed.

If that sounds like something you'll be interested in, I'd love to have you along for the journey.
Watch (this) space!
Cool! Best luck to you.)
as a long time fan and a long time brony let me be the first to welcome you back
Awesome! I’m glad you came back. Looking forward to the new fic!
Welcome back, Kkat! Glad to see you active again after all these years.
OH SWEETEST MOTHER OF JESUS YES!! ALL THE YES!!
Welcome back, Kkat! That's awesome! <3
Looking forward to it! (And I agree, the Students brought a lot into MLP!)
Welcome back! I'll definitely be watching for the new story.
Best of Luck!
Welcome back! We’ve missed you! Looking forward to the new story.
Omg hype hype hype
Happy to have you back, Khat! As someone who arrived a bit too late to see some of the fandom's bigger names in action, it's always nice to see some of the old stalwarts occasionally revisit their stomping grounds.
Just curious, are you gunning for a T or an M rating? Or is it not set in stone yet?
5217167 It will be T-rated.
Ooh, I haven't actually played Prey, but I'll probably give the fic a chance. Glad to have you back Kkat.
5217171 No familiarity with the game will be required or useful.
Ok. Firstly, GOD it's been too long since we've heard from ya! Secondly, story sounds interesting.
Eh, why not. I'll give it a go. Still need to finish the game though...
Well I’ve never actually played the game, but I’ll read the story when you start posting it!
It's probably just me, but this came out of nowhere...er, can't wait.
Prey deserves more love than it got.
Good to see you writing again :)
Nice.
Nice to see you around again after so long and happy to see your interest rekindle on ponies. I will be looking forward to seeing this story . I would have wished for a fusion work like you did before, I am certainly curious see how you will approach the subject, I am sure it will be very interesting. See you again soon.

Is all.
Oooh Hype
glad to see you back, one of the best times to come back tbh, now that the show has ended it opens up WAY more possibilities for Fannon
you may also wanna check out the upcoming season 10 comics, though im not 100% sure if those are fully cannon
5217208 Thanks!
That does bring up a side note: I doubt my new story will be compliant with the content of the comics as I haven't read them and can't treat them as canon. Hopefully, nobody minds if there are conflicts between the story and the comics.
Holy **** kkat is back
> haven't logged into Fimfiction for months, basically since the show ended
> for absolutely no reason I visit the site, curious as to what I might have missed
> as of an hour ago, Kkat has returned and will soon be posting a novel-length fic
It's like destiny. It was calling me.
Welcome back. I am looking forward to reading it.
Awright, dude! I wish ya the best! I better kick my shit into high gear...
Sounds awesome!
5217175 Oh, that's fine then. I'll definitely check it out.
And just because I rarely get to share this song:
I immediately started rubbing my hands in anticipation. Which was not pleasant, because my palms are already pretty chapped from rubbing down all my office's equipment with alcohol wipes for the Corona virus.
5217211
For it's time for you, to fulfill your DESTINYYYY!
5217217
Close, but not quite.
Looks like I'm going to have going to have to move Prey up in my queue of games to play.
This is wonderful news!
Ah shit here we go again! Glad to hear you're back on the scene.
I'm almost legitimately filly Twilight bouncing, Kkat is writing another thing! A pony thing! Yes!
Squeeeeee!
PREY?
Fuck yes.
~Skeeter The Lurker
Uh, yes!
Oh my. Let the hype begin
I really loved the addition of the student six, Ocellus is my favorite, and Prey was a really good game. Add to that the author of one of my favorite stories of all time, and this is hitting all the right buttons for me. Looking forward to it! And welcome back!
The prophecy is true.
The legend returns.
Kkat is back! We welcome the legend's return with open arms!
I'm interested to see what you do with a monster-shooter, sci-fi story like Prey. And if your past works are to go on, I'm sure it'll be excellent.
It put a smile on my face to hear from you here. Looking forward to it!
Welcome back! I'm excited to see what you do with the Young Six
*leans in* you have may attention...please, do continue oh spinner of tales, and weaver of dreams.
Looks interesting
Very well, I shall watch this space. And the more recent seasons of MLP, I suppose. Need to get caught up.
