Didn't this story used to be longer?

Hm? I've not posted this story publicly before. You may be thinking of my other story, Twiastasia. They're similar, genre-wise, though I plan on keeping this one on a much smaller scale in terms of the stakes and adventuring.
I like the opening Chapter. It was well thought out and I liked how it put the ponies in a certain light. Ones unable, or unwilling, to advance without being able to completely master their environment.
I eagerly look forward to seeing where this goes. May Anon find what he is truly seeking.
Why isn't there a horror tag?

Do you think there should be?
The writing of the characters in this story feel grounded in reality. A reality, if not our own. Every character's mannerisms are starkly different than the others in the story; to the point where it feels as if there was no trouble in emulating a differing personality. The idea of a character looking for legends, coming across nuggets of information during his search is well executed and, if you have any expectations to continue the story, I believe it will flourish into something rare.
I very much liked this story.

Appreciated! This one being unfinished has always been an annoying little itch in the back of my mind when thoughts wandered, but it was never annoying enough to beat out writing other stories in its place. I should have the extended notes for it around somewhere, but either way-- I'll be coming back for it soon.

I completely understand. I have a story I have been writing for around two and a half years. Always in the back of my mind to create the next chapter. I find myself wanting to continue, but I don't get around to it as often as I would like.
I'm happy to hear you don't plan on dropping the story despite the time that has passed.

Pursue it! The process is slow and grueling at times- but in my experience: Writing always is, lol. Another story of mine, Mother Knows Best, was written over the course of an entire year. For something of only 20,000 words or so, I felt at the time that was dramatically too long to spend on a work so small by comparison. Yet, through fleeting whims and talks with friends on ideas (thanks ZigZag & Fig!), it came together to a point where I was happy with the product.
My point is there are no rules for your creative process. Perhaps there are some tricks and methodologies that work for you, but you could just as easily ignore those processes if you wished to. Your product may come out different, or on an altered schedule, but if you want it so: It will be done. Beating yourself over the head with self-defeat like "I'm spending too long on this single scene," or "I don't know where next to take this story-- it's dead in the water" will only slow your writing process down that much more (not that you did any of that to yourself, of course-- just examples).
If you're able, I'd recommend presenting your story & ideas to a friend-- someone who you trust, not necessarily for their creative input alone, but someone who is willing to ask you basic questions about your idea/plan. Sometimes, that much alone can help snap you from the circular logic traps of writer's block while also bolstering your confidence with inspiration. You may be surprised in what you can build together. Hell, oftentimes I find myself spilling out the ideas I couldn't fully wrap my head around mentally-- giving them a sort of proper definition through translating all the chaos of the mind into structure in words.
... Anyway, I've lost the plot & I'm rambling...
... Write your story!!

Thanks! I don't tend to beat myself up about it, but nevertheless the feeling is true, if not as intense as what others go through. I know where I want at least the first half of what's left of the story. I just need to sit down.
I even made it a new years resolution to write more than last year.
And same to you as well.
