I've been doing some thinking for the past few days. To be honest, I felt bad about canceling Mommy Dash, not because of how it disappointed several people, but because I was going to leave it unfinished. I think my decision to cancel it was primarily based off how depressed I was feeling. I've seen some of the comments I received on my decision and frankly I took some of it to heart and decided on something very important: I'm going to continue this story
I apologize if this upsets anyone or makes people think I was doing this for attention. Honestly I was not doing this to gain attention. I was depressed, I had misgivings towards the story and focused entirely on the negatives of it, and I was running out of ideas. I still have some misgivings and probably after this story is done, I might not speak so highly of it. But I guess I do have some soft spot for it.
Once again I am sorry if I caused any sort of distress. I'm going to at least have one more chapter. Like I said before, I am dry on ideas for this story but I think I can end it on a high note at the very least.
I can't say when I will write it, I still need to do some thinking on the chain of events of what will follow, but I really feel confident at the moment, and this story will return in time. I'll make sure of it.
Thanks for the support and Gale and Rainbow Dash will return eventually.
The first thing you should probably do is edit the title of the "prologue".

Good, will re fave and wait.
I'll re-add this story to the "read when you have finished it" list. The idea seems good to me. I'll let you know what I think of it once everything is done.
... Make up your mind!
Dude if you want someone to bounce ideas around with hi me up. I might have one or two you can use.
Yay
2804074Excellent points. But, perhaps Gryphon simply not want Child. Child still blameless. Perhaps Gryphon thinks having Child is uncool, gives child to old pony friend known for loyalty. Given Gilda's known personality, it is a viable hypothesis?
*SQUEE!*
really? you write a good story, abandon it, and then cancel it. now i can't take you seriously as an author but i will come back from time to time.i do like the idea too much
Well, I've read the story now. It's not exactly my cup of tea, but it's written well enough. There's room for improvement but don't let criticism get you down. Just try to take advice from the people trying to help you improve, and try to ignore the purely negative comments. *coughPinkPearlcough*
One thing I'm wondering is: I can understand Gilda not feeling up to taking care of a baby, and you don't need to dwell on that, but why does she feel that Rainbow Dash is a good choice to either care for it or find someone else to? She seems to have gone pretty far out of her way to give her egg specifically to Rainbow Dash.
THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER YAY!!!!!!!!!
That's the spirit! Never give up on the stories you've started!
"that's the way, never give up"
Yes this is a great story, don't let any one tell you otherwise

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Does that sum it up in a few words?
fucking hell im glad i did not unfav this story lol
2804257 Well in all honestly I don't feel great about this story and like I said I probably won'y speak so highly of it once it is done. But I can at least acknowledge I do feel something for it.
As for Gilda. All I can think of is that she probably doesn't have many friends and Dash probably was the only one who came to mind. I left her in a disheveled condition to leave it to everyone's imaginations how the child's conception came to be. Currently in my head it was a one night stand, but there could be darker indications.
Mostly, I don't even bother with the negatives of life. They are there, but I don't focus on them. Keeps me happy enough. Now I am going to post a song that has made me happy, and is making me happy right now in a 10 hour loop. Found this by chance, and I am really happy I did:
This story has potential, do continue.
Yes I'm so happy this story isn't canceled I would hate for that because it's well written the characters are relative to the show and this stars my fav pony so please do continue
I am happy to hear you plan to continue this one, it is one of the better motherhood fics I've read on FIMFic
I look at this and I think "my god, this person is a better writer than RLYoshi". RL may have better grammar, spelling, and punctuation, but let's take a look at his stories and their statuses.
13 stories total
7 of them cancelled
2 non-cancelled stories are one-shots
1 of the cancelled stories is a sequel to a completed story, so both will be counted as cancelled
2 stories incomplete. While not canceled, their last updates were in March and February of 2015, and aren't likely to receive any other updates, so let's say that it is unofficially cancelled.
So, this leaves us to see that there is only one non-one-shot story or story line he has written that was completed, and no other story line we can think will be finished. You, on the other hand, have 3 stories, one a one-shot, all complete. You may have less total stories and cancelled this at one point in time, but what matters in the end is that you finished all of it, and you had a reason for cancelling that wasn't just "I don't like this story any more." He wasn't depressed, just didn't care. He couldn't think of anything else to write for Zeroes to Heroes (he actually said that was why)? Then why did he end the last chapter with a cliffhanger? One usually ends with a cliffhanger if they have an idea for what comes next.
Look the point is, your a good writer because, though you may have less than perfect spelling, you finished it all and didn't abandon them, least-ways not completely.
