Living the life he's always wanted but losing the pony he cared for the most.

Alright, I know this is a biased opinion, as I haven't actually read this fic, but I really wish people would stop trying to gain popularity off the original MLD's success.
Everyone seems to think that Rainbow Dash and the un-named guy need some closure, but I completely disagree. I recently read a fan-made Dashie sequel which had a happy ending, and although everyone else seemed to think it was great that they were finally happy, I think it completely goes against what MLD set out to do in the first place, to teach us a life lesson: "All good things must come to an end". Now that phrase has two meanings in regards to that fic. The story itself, and the seemingly endless stream of inferior cash-ins that have come after it. Both must come to an end.
Fan appreciation is nice, but come on guys, you're killing one of the best fanfics ever written.
Okay. From what I did read, it was good. But please please please space it out. No massive walls of texts go down well here. Also, I noticed the wrong use of too. In some places you probably meant to. But that's just from what I read.
Good luck!
706613 like you said, it is your opinion. I agree the story itself doesn't need closure, but it'd be nice. that's why it's not against the rules to create alternate endings and stuff. and normally it's not a ploy to gain popularity, it's just somebody expressing what they think the ending should have been like or they think of something that MLD happened to inspire. I've got ideas for something that's basically 'my little Luna' because of it. if I were to put it down and upload it I wouldn't do it because I'm seeking attention, I'd do it for the same reason I uploaded 16 other stories

I dunno. I guess it just irritates me that My Little Dashie was just so damn amazing, and so many attempts at fan appreciation are just nowhere near as good. I guess I can't really talk, seeing as I haven't actually written any fanfiction yet, but I've got a few planned, and none of them are anything like MLD. I'd just be too afraid that it wouldn't be up to par with the ultimate sadfic.
707030 don't say that. unless you try and replicate it don't ever worry about not being as good as something. my sadfic, immortal tears, is absolutely nothing like MLD. it's a tearjerker to a lot but definitely nowhere near MLD or our last goodbye. you don't even have to make it a sadfic in order for it to be as good as another story

I'm not saying I'm rejecting the idea of a sadfic, the first story I have planned is a sadfic in fact. What I meant was that I would never dream of making an MLD spin-off. Don't get me wrong, some of them are quite good, but not only are the majority doing it wrong, giving it a happy ending rather than an epilogue, but also that none of them can even compare to the original in terms of how powerful and compelling it was. I would never dare attempt to recreate, or change that.
IMO, classics should never be tampered with.
omg the last part was so touching and tears were shed at that point
Oh my god, that was....
the:
“Goodnight Daddie, I love you.” she said, slowly.
“Goodnight Dashie, I love you too.”
With this last respond, I slowly closed my eyes, by the time I closed my eyes, she was gone. Back to where she belonged. I drifted off, not into my death, but to a new life.
That was beautiful...
I love you, Dashie....
That was great. Grammar was... bearable. Premise was good

Yeah i realized that, I went back through the editing and thought that Microsoft word would have done the to-too problem auto corrected, and it did in some parts, and I edited the parts that I could notice but sometimes it's 12:00 A.M in the morning and you get too damn lazy.

I agree completely. MLD ended like it was supposed to when the (original) author finished the story. There's more than enough unnecessary sequels and we certainly don't need another one. The worst I've seen would have to be a sequel where The Guy turns to alcohol despite the original story stating he was gonna make the best of his life without Dash. Plot hooole...
708533 Haha, well, we all get lazy! (And Word is utter rubbish...)
One word: Beautiful

Yeah, I realized there was a lot of MLD sequels and there were being overdone. I didn't like the idea of the sequels that had the main character go after Rainbow, or the some sequels that make his life look like utter shit despite of what he wanted in the original MLD. I knew people were fed up with MLD sequels and some of the ideas that were represented within them. I honestly decided to write it for the fun of presenting my idea and concept and the life of the character after Rainbow had left our dimension. Instead of him fighting to be with Rainbow, I decided he needed to move on and live his life, the life that he wanted in the first place. I, being a writer at heart and having written not only MLP fan fics but original content on my spare time, felt that i needed to represent my own sequel and try to make it as subtle but not as dramatic(Even though that's not what I saw the second time i went through it). I felt that I did a decent job, not a perfect or plausible job, but a decent one. Plus, two days ago my brain wouldn't let me sleep at 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning because I had this idea running rampant in my head, so I kind of wrote it too get it out of my system and to regain my ability to have a decent sleep cycle at night again. .

). Not a fan of MLD sequels/alternate endings as you know, but I can appreciate a well-written story with a good plot. Like this one (despite being a MLD sequel).
Don't get me wrong; As far as MLD goes, this was a real tear-jerker (didn't cry though

Don't worry, this is the last sequel of a story I write. I got my own ideas I want too get out to the community.
So if you want, stay wary of some stories I come out with in the next couple days or few weeks. Honestly, I'm more of an adventure, fantasy, dark humor and mystery writer. Iv'e written sad stories in the past but it's not really my thing, I can stir up some emotional responses but I prefer more lively type of stuff myself.

Interesting. I'll give your future stories you post here a look. Until then... Carry on.
Well written. As stated by others, there were some grammar errors, but that didn't take away too much from the story experience. Though I agree that the original ending fits best, I love to see that others are putting their own thoughts in on MLD. Again, good job.
706613 In fact, in a post I'm actually copy-pasting from a while back, past me had this to say:
"A single tear ran down her left cheek, as I could see her eyes moving under her lids. Her mind was doing the same thing mine was, forcing our fondest memories all at once, for this would be the last time we ever saw one another."
Bam. Right from the story, near the end. No sequels, no fanon, not a spot of hope. They never saw each other again. Not once. Nope. Zip. Zero. Nothing.
...
Despite this, I didn't cry once during or after the story, nor did I cry once this realization set in. Yes, I know I have a screwed up mind. Don't ask. I don't know either. Same reaction to... another (in)famous story from this fandom.
