I'm sorry everyone, but I have bad news... · 7:12am Nov 27th, 2013
And no, this isn't one of those "Haha! Got you!" Moments. I really do have bad news.
I don't have much time, so I'm going to get straight to the point....
I'm cancelling Pony Ball GT, there will be no Pony Ball X, and Z and GT are going to get deleted in about a week.
Due to the sheer length of story that remains combined with the length of time between updates, the Pony Ball series will never be finished. Even if I had time to update once a week, it would still be 2015 until it's finished... Yes. There is that much left to the whole story.
Honestly, I bit off far more than I could chew with this series. I'm sorry to those that have enjoyed this series, but I don't have much of a choice.
I will be shifting my focus to shorter, more high quality works.
I'm sorry if some of you can't understand my decisions...
I can understand why you can't update anymore, but why do you have to go and delete them? Just leave them up.
That's ok, I understand.
I must say, why go and delete them though? many people still enjoy the story so far? why not just leave them up?
But not finishing them I understand. everything in life is your choice
Just to think my day couldn't get any worse... could you please leave Pony Ball Z up? Only if you want to though...

GT is getting deleted no matter what. It's just incomplete, and I see no reason to leave it.
I debated about deleting Z or not because it's so popular. But face it, as it is now, it's just an incomplete story. New readers will wonder what happens later, and I'm not sure I can just leave it like that. I don't want to do this, but I simply can't finish the story, so I don't see a purpose in leaving an unfinished story up.
Now, there is a bright light at the end of the tunnel. One of the projects I have planned is a rewrite of Z. New story, new characters, and a more polished feel over all. So my dbz days aren't over with.
1546077 whatever your decision may be I just want to say thank you for the amazing stories, they've been one hell of a ride. And thank you again because Pony Ball Z had inspired me to make my story. It was nice having a good read and have the best of luck in your future stories!
1546077 Well, if you insist, but still, they were both great stories. Can't wait to see what you have in store in the future.
Damnit
Well, thanks for the heads up, I just downloaded both stories in all three formats.
Though it is a shame to see them gone, I respect your decision. You gave us a warning, after all. Nothing is more despicable and disrespectful towards the readers as simply deleting the story without any kind of warning or notice. I hate it when I can't find a trace of a story that I know was there before.
Though in this circumstance it only applies to those who follow you... oh well, it's still a warning with plenty of time to react.
Keep up the good work!
1546077 well I am disappointed you're deleting them, but I can understand you not wanting to have people constantly mailing about a series that will never be completed. but I am glad that you are making a new dbz series
Well I'm going to be honest with you
I've only read the Godzilla one and that's the only one I'm interested in
but that's probably because I didn't even know the other ones existed
but not much point in reading them now if you're just going to take them down
Well it just means you'll have more time for the Godzilla one, right?
Wait a sec, I can understand why you would not continue the stories in progress, but why would you ever delete them? A lot of us think that they are still worth reading, even if they aren't finished.
1565905 I've recently changed my mind about deleting them. I just have a note left on GT that the story is not going to continue, and marked it as cancelled.
I'm still not going to leave everyone completely hanging, though. I'm eventually going to make a google docs page with the remainder of what was planned. The entire story was finished in my head, I just don't have time to write it.
1566152 I don't suppose there is the extremely slim chance that you may come back to the series sometime in the future, you know just on a whim?
1592974 Sadly, no. Just go through the string of comments between myself and Friend of Bronies in the next blog to see what I have planned next.
1593277 Damn. Oh well, a guy can dream I suppose.
