    Hardcore Hemingway [Dark]

    Sometimes when you're doing research papers, you come across some cool stuff. Such as this little tidbit from the life of Ernest Hemingway, according to an article by the very reputable Bloom's Literary Reference.

    [IMPORTANT] Storytime with Mindblower

    There is a very specific reason I became a writer in the Brony community. I wish to elaborate on this reason to explain my current situation.

[April Fool's] A Personal Conclusion · 6:44pm Apr 1st, 2013

And I thought it would never come to this. Silly Mindblower, dreams are for kids.

The dream, specifically, that I'm referring to is Dissonance. I've out-, or rather un-done myself with the task. Heartbreaking, I suppose, but it's best not to dwell on it. My life takes precedence over my fiction, as you all should very well know by now or at least assume. Searching for a job, school clubs, and other activities I will have to participate in with the interest of getting into college are eating into my time far more than I'd like. What's more, I'm not even done with the planning stages of Didsonance! Ha! I have the option of blaming this on the Team, of course (they certainly aren't shortening the process), but the base issue, truly, is the idea. It's simply too big a burden for me to handle anymore.

Another issue I seem to be dealing with is a crisis of faith. The fandom is stagnating; we are running out of steam, abandoning our principles, squabbling. We have achieved so much in our short existence, and yet I see more and more frequently a regression back to G.I.F.T., something I've always considered us significantly above. I'm not going into detail my experiences as of late because I'm not here to do an autopsy, but I will state that I have never been affected as much by the Brony stigma as I do this day.

Thus, I am cancelling Dissonance, for my sanity as well as that of others. It's been a terrific ride, and I sincerely apologize that the vast majority of you will never see it. My future in the fandom is uncertain, but... I suppose I'll see you around.

Cheers,
-Mindblower

Check the date before you comment!

Apologies to those across the globe, of course, but 'Muricah. Also to those who tell me that the fool's part ends at noon, balderdash; I was in a car ride home the first half of the day, what did you expect me to do, not prank anypony?

Happy April! :pinkiehappy:

I have never hated a date before in my life.
I think that just changed.

Sounds legit. :pinkiecrazy:

How awful! What sort of monster would wish that on someone!?

I am an evil person, the secret's out.

Read post, felt incredibly guilty, prepared to write reply apologizing for not being there to help out, remembered the date, felt incredibly silly, wrote reply agonizing over horrible April Fools' joke.

What's G.I.F.T.?

Edit: HOLY SHIT I'M A GOLD ACCOUNT, HELL YEAH!

You do know what is making this effective is the fact that you did threaten to cancel it, multiple times :ajbemused:

Everybrony, or so I'm told, appears a Fimfiction gold account to themselves. It's only visible to others if and only if your user ID ends in 0.

You monster! :raritydespair:

xD Happy April Fool's Day.

*Reads post, backs into a corner, puts tissues on standby, checks date*
:facehoof:
I can't believe I almost fell for that!!
Well played Mindblower! :rainbowlaugh:
Happy April! :pinkiehappy:

Im slow, okay! Sure I'm not your only fan but since I did ask you on more than one occasion about your status (all to relatively postive answers) I know you are just being EVIL with this post. Even got me to skip a heartbeat before I checked the date when I first saw this.

Yes..again..slow..to reply to post :facehoof:
