New Story Up on AO3

It's not about ponies. It's an work of original fiction about a fanfic author who updates an abandoned fic after twenty seven years of inactivity. I figured there might be some appeal to people who are interested in fandom, so I put it up for your viewing pleasure. A new MLP fic will be up soon.

While I am fortunate enough to have avoided the real-life dramatics surrounding your narrator's saga, the central narrative — an aspiring writer infiltrating a fandom on the cusp of its series' implosive finale — struck surprisingly close to home. Admittedly, I have grappled with similar feelings to theirs at times, and your articulation of those thoughts was a breath of fresh air. The asides and annotations were an intriguing encapsulation of the imaginary era's zeitgeist (and the retrospectives thereof), with enough modicums to leave me desiring more from the titular series, even while reminding myself of that more's nonexistence.

With the above in mind, I wish I could spin an equally long web about my enjoyment of the central conflict. Alas, my circumlocution has failed me in that regard. Regardless, rest assured that I enjoyed the core of the story as much as I did the supporting factors mentioned above — even if I inexplicably have fewer words to say about that core.

All in all, kudos!
:)

P.S. Apologies for rambling so much. I didn't recognize I was doing it until it felt too late to backtrack.

I'm three chapters in and honestly this is brilliant.
