Story update.
Okay, where to start...
I haven't paid attention or updated this story in a while. The latest chapter right now sits unfinished at about 1-2k words in my docs, and most of my drive to continue writing it has been lost.
The truth is, I don't like my own story. Well, not completely anyways.
I first started writing this back in 2014 and by god it was awful. You think those earlier chapters are bad? You'd vomit out of your eyes if you saw what originally took their place. I thought it was a great story back then, but as time went on and I tried to roll with the stuff I had given myself, well... It started to feel like more of a chore than an anything. I had to force myself to write new chapters, and wanted it to be done and over with as soon as possible. It led to a lot of shitty chapters that I'd avoid editing like the plague, afraid to see what monstrosity I had spawned previously. I know people generally criticize their own work at a much harsher level than their readers, but I was downright afraid to read what I had posted for the entire website to see.
With that all said, I still like the concept. God knows there's not enough human-turned-Luna stories, and too many human turned-Nightmare ones. And the ones that do exist are either dead, or poorly executed. Like this one, actually.
I want to start clean on this idea, instead of having to follow the path I set for myself years ago. That means re-writing this entire thing from the ground up. Completely new story, and a new main character.
The concept will remain the same, obviously, and the comedy aspect would remain largely untouched, save for the retraction of the stale memes I seemed to want to force into the ending of every chapter. There's fresher memes now.
But I'm not sure if I should go for it. On one hand, I'm probably not going to pay much attention to this story, leaving it effectively dead for months on end. And on the other, I could give myself much more room to expand and do things right if I re-wrote the entire thing. Before I did anything that drastic, I wanted the opinion of you guys. What should I do?
Should I try and keep this going for as long as I can? Or do I start fresh?
Regardless of what I do, I plan to leave this story up. The re-write will be drastic enough to deserve a separate template, so I don't think it would break any rules.
Show me the way, brothers. And we will find the Queen.

A writer that doesn't write for themselves will not write for others. In the end the story told is because you wish to tell it. Not because the listener wishes to hear it.
I see no issue with rewriting it
Rewrite it I guess.

nice hat
Do what you want, man. Just leave this story up, and notify me about the rewrite.
do not speak of da whey if hyou do not haf ebola
rewrite it if you think you'll enjoy it more
If you think you can write a better story if you rewrite, then go for it.
While I personally, and probably bias-ed-ly, if that's even a word, loved the story you told here, I know all too well what it's like to be disappointed in your own writing. My first and second attempts at writing on this website, I am disappointed in personally, as the first one (Living Hell) kind of just fell apart after I got the original idea down, and the second one (New York Nuke) was just bad, and while the idea worked in my head, I lost touch very early, and for some godforsaken reason posted it anyway.
As for my third, I actually like. I have a little bit of a plan set up for it, but I'm just at a loss for how to execute it, and have been for so long now I've lost motivation, even though I keep thinking about it.
In the end, I liked this story, and I'll definitely be looking forward to your next attempt at executing the concept of it.

i agree with this dude but i would urge you to not follow the ways of other rewriters and wipe all the chapters clean make the rewrite a redux version
Rewrite it l
memes.ucoz.com/_nw/2/62354970.jpg
if you choose rewriting,please give as summary for this version (future events ect.)
If you decide to rewrite ir, please leave a follow up in the story so we get the new one plz
Rewrite but with a few short summary chapters for this story so its not just lying incomplete forever
Rewrite it only if you seek a princess. Queens are bad, remember?
Oh, and if you keep the memes to a minimum, or exclude them entirely. Memes are transient things; the wrong kind of novel for novels. They are almost certainly going to age your story in a negative way.
On a more serious note, I'd only recommend rewriting the story if the following conditions are met.
1: You have a clear vision of what you want to write.
2: That vision will give you enough passion to finish the story.
3: You still have enough interest in FiM in general, and don't see that changing for a while.
4: You'll get enough fulfillment out of writing the story by the action itself, rather than from your audience.
The last thing is more of a guideline: have fun, if it fancies you.
I am fine with a rewrite.
Rewrite.
I have always been of the opinion that rewrites tend to a fine thing to do. When an author's gains and apathiny in regards to their stories quality or the direction of the plot.
Hell yes to ben 10. And better to write what you wanna write bro. If revamping this story will get your creativity going then go fucking ham!! Long as it's something you WILL enjoy doing.

I also want to know about the rewrite if it comes out.
Letus spit on him, broddah
Personally Id love to see a fic where someone wakes up as Starlight Glimmer, before or after reformation wouldn't matter just to see what someone would do with it.
While I am kind of sad to see this go (Seeing as how it really only had just started getting good), you should do what you want to here. As much as I wanted to see where you were taking this, a brand new story that you are enjoying will definitely be a better read.
We will find da wae!
I never once thought this story was bad. But as with everyone, whatever you feel the best doing is the best thing to do. That is da wae after all.
Eh, let'er die mate
why not write a small chapter that has discord hit the reset button on the story as a way to send it off
That isn’t necessarily a good thing you know
Do what you want for an author is ye, you are an author.
At the end of the day, do what's best for you, write the story you want to tell. We're just here along for the ride, you're the one who plots the journey and takes us there.
I'd like a rewrite with fries on the side please
You are the author, if you think it could be better to re-write it, then re-write it, who knows, maybe it could give us a surprise. You don't need to force yourself to write something you don't like, that only hurt yourself and the story.
I make a more thoughtfull decision later, but I already want to post the comment.
Just to be sure, this is the story where a human turned into Luna and not a story where the human started dating luna right?
They met a soldier and got captured by chrysalis here right? I always have to look again which story I'm reading since the name is slightly similar I think, but the story is something different.
Well... I don't think it was so bad, but I guess it that is the chase then I would agree with a rewrite and see what happens with the story.
I know this is probably not going to be happening but I just have to mention my favourite things again.
I would like it Chrysalis could be an ally to him/her in the end, if the main char is maybe adopting someone and....I think I don't want to ask for a third thing this time. I just mention it since there is always hope something like that could happen.

thanks

Re-write, don't want you to die on us!
Write this one and finish it then do the rewrite.
Don't worry about it. Everyone runs into roadblocks when they work on a project they started a long time ago. It's hard to maintain that same energy you had when you started. Like you said, we are our worst critics. And quite frankly, I too am afraid to look back at my old work, knowing that it is just god awful. But don't worry about it. As we get older, our skills and abilities improve making us better suited for our life. You just need to re inspire yourself, figure out why you started writing to begin with. And if you need to restart, go right ahead. You are the author, you control your story. Make it in a way that is enjoyable for you to read and make.
If you feel the need to rewrite it.... well.... go for it. A lot of people already suggested for you to rewrite it. Another few said to stick with it and even less said to let the story doe.
If you wan't my opinion..... well, I don't have an opinion of my own.

Are you going to rewrite the story?
8674143
Yeah.
It is up to you do what you want

Yay!!!!! Love these types of stories but so far all the ones I'm reading are cancelled as well. Hope to see the rewrite complete.
I'm rereading the older chapters of this story, hope the rewrite will come out soon.
If you plan to rewrite the whole ordeal. Well I am thinking at least keep this on the site as the old version, and the new version made on another side. It would allow readers to compare to two versions, and thus give you more supportive reviews to help make the story better. Also keeping it up, allows you read both, and see if this is the way you want it or you want to change it a up a bit.
Well, I would like to see what you'll do in the rewritten version of this story. Most Curious indeed
I believe you mean DA WAE
Too many human-as-Nightmare Moon fics? One of the great thing about those is that Nightmare Moon isn't a very developed character in the Canon, meaning you can be more flexible with it...
...That and the fact that this is usually accompanied by people going into hysterics the first few chapters which I used to find entertaining as hell.
Honestly, I just enjoy fimfictions wherein humans are dragged from day-to-day life and are transformed into villains (though typically NOT league of humans acting villainous, which involves mostly edgy displaced fics that all share the same plot, but with slightly different characters.)
Go 4 it ice watched this a since the beginning.
