Reworking Fed Up from the ground up · 2:15pm Nov 18th, 2013
With careful consideration (Which means I hardly got any sleep last night) I have decided to do something that some of you may find a good idea, some of you may just unfollow me for.
Over several months' time, I have been writing Fed Up. Those who were there from the beginning know what exactly the premise was: All her little ponies worship her to a point of godhood, and she's sick and tired of it. As I've been writing the chapters, the latest one has lead to a little problem, or several actually: I have deviated too far away from the initial story plot. I was going to jump the shark to keep the story going. There are WAY too many side stories, one cannot make sense of what's going on. Essentially Fed Up has become Celestia does crap in Ponyville, while other characters do stuff with which I'm not sure how they actually relate to the story.
Over the next--undetermined amount of time-- I will be revising/reworking the story from the ground up. The old chapters will be labelled as [OLD], and will stay at the end of the list of chapters. This is for those who are feeling nostalgic/want their dose of 60 WATTS, They may read those chapters.
No, this is not a trick, it isn't even close to April first. (sorry about that, by the way; that was just cruel)
Please, speak your peace, and may Celestia have mercy on my soul (actually, she wouldn't like me saying that, would she?)
You're taking on a daunting task to try to re-imagine your story. But it's a strong writer who recognizes his own flaws.
I agree with your assessment of the story and wish you excellent luck in re-imagining it. I will follow with interest.

I AM SUPPORTED!!
Just 1050 left!
Thankfully, I have gotten over the "keeping me up at night thing", so yeah. Either way, thank you for the support, it was a difficult decision.
I enjoy what you write. That won't change just because you're writing more.
I love your story, and I've really been enjoying it... and even though I'll have to wait for it, this change looks like it will be for the better!
Keep up the great work!
I just have to say, thank you SOOO much for leaving the old chapters up. I can't tell you how much I hate it when a story I have been following for 15 chapters updates, and I see that the update is for chapter one, and that is now the ONLY chapter.
Here's to hoping your new version is even funnier.
I will be honest, while I don't MIND too much the second draft attempt, I WOULD like to see what happens next with the old draft. To be perfectly honest, I'd have rather you'd gone and started a new story using the same idea, and just continue updating the old version ("Celestia does stuff while the others have adventures of their own" CAN work after all).
At the very least, if you aren't going to continue the original version, can you tell us what was going to happen next? I was rather curious to see what was going to happen with Karl and King Sombra for example.
