    Fluttershy is no longer herself and needs convincing from her friends to return to normal. However, the more they try, the more distant she becomes, and Twilight worries that they may lose their friend forever.

    Darkening Summary

    As I promised, here is a brief summary of The Darkening for anyone who would like to continue the story but would rather not spend the time reading the 69k word story again. Now if you haven't read the story, then please don't read this summary, it is going to cover all of the plot points very quickly, and you will get nothing from it but confusion and whiplash. You can catch the summary just

    The Darkening is Back!

    I told you it wasn't dead! Yeah, I saw it when those of you placed it in your "dead" and "graveyard" bookshelves, and I gotta say, each one of those hurt my heart a bit, but I get it. I haven't updated the story since April 2019!

    The Darkening isn't Dead, I Swear!

    So, I know I haven't really done anything here in nearly two years, but I just wanted to tell anyone who may still care that I haven't given up on The Darkening yet. The truth is, I've been in a bit of a funk since before posting chapter 7. My depression came back, harder than it has in over a decade, and with it came the old feelings of failure. Every time I sat down to write, this little

    The Darkening: Chapter 7

    Finally, it's done! This chapter gave me a lot of grief. I wrote the Twilight section over a dozen times easily, and honestly, I nearly gave up at one point. But I didn't, and thanks to a comment from my newer pre-reader, Zodiacspear, it turned out even better than I'd hoped. So look for chapter 7 to be posted next Wednesday around

    The Darkening: Chapter 6

    Chapter 6 is ready to go and will be posted next Wednesday. Chapter 7 has really given me a lot of trouble, but I think I've finally just about worked it out, and I'm hoping the next portion of it will come along much quicker. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful time over the holidays, and I also hope you'll look forward to chapter 6 after checking out the excerpt after the page break.

Hello · 5:49pm Mar 26th, 2014

Hi, my name is David, and I am an aspiring author. I love writing with a passion, and spend any free time I have creating stories. Unfortunately, I tend to get excited over new ideas easily and have been known to drop projects to start something new. As a result, I have several unfinished stories, but there is hope for me yet!
My love of those six wonderful ponies inspired me enough to actually finish my first story, and I've already started the second. Also, I am focusing a lot of my energies on an original title that I believe will have a good chance of getting published once it is finished. Now, I know that sounds like I am still jumping around with stories, but, trust me, I am WAY more organized now!
Anyway, this has gone on for much longer than I originally planned, so I will shut up now. I hope you enjoy Love Your Difference, and the future stories I will be posting as well. Also, please tell me what you think, I would love to hear your comments, the good, bad, and even the ugly! =)

I really did enjoy the first chapter! I can't wait to finish the rest after I make it through Asylum. You really do have a great style, and your piece was very well edited!

Can't wait to see what else you put out!

1957456 Thanks! I edited it myself, I'm sure I've read it about 20 times by now. I'm super excited because, although you are not the first to read it, you are the first fan of the show to read it. It's kinda like the ultimate test!

You're welcome!

If you wouldn't mind me plugging this in, here's a link to a great article for new writers. I'm new myself (just published my first chapter the other day), but it's got a lot of great advice!

Hello! :pinkiehappy:

1994203 Lol! :rainbowlaugh: I only just now noticed you in here. Hi!

#6 · Apr 15th, 2014 · · ·

2012153 lolz, it happens. I'm glad to see you've had a good time so far here! Your first story is quite a skilled piece, especially from someone new to this site. I can't wait to see your next! :pinkiehappy:

2013047 Thank you :twilightblush: you have no idea how much it pleases me to hear that. I am a little concerned, however, that my descriptions may turn readers away. They already know what the characters and the places look like. If you saw my reply to Smiles comment in Love Your Difference's comments, then you know that it has a bit of a story behind it and that's why I'm so descriptive. What's your opinion? You obviously like it, but did the descriptions bother you any? Do you think it will turn away readers, or am I just worrying too much over nothing? Be honest now! :raritywink:
I know I'm being a bit of a worrywart, but I can't help it, this book, and especially the lesson Fluttershy learns at the end, is very dear to me.

2014858 Okay, I'll warn you several things that I wish someone had told me when I joined up.

1) Long descriptions turn readers away, even if the ones that do read it enjoy it. That doesn't mean that you can't have a sizable one, just keep an eye out for making it too long. People are wanting a description, not a summary.

2) You'll eventually get a dislike. It doesn't matter how amazingfantastic your story is, someone's always going to dislike it. Don't take it too much to heart unless you suddenly find yourself with more dislikes than likes.

3) Make sure your story text is properly spaced and indented. You did a great job of keeping your paragraphs readable and engaging, so I'm probably preaching to the choir here.

4) Post your stories in groups. That's actually a better way of getting known than just pure follows and a mix of the two is what makes people shine.

5) Read some stories. It's always a good idea as a writer to get a feel for what clicks and what doesn't. It also helps to avoid writing something too similar to someone else.

Anyways have a great day and feel free to ask me anytime if you have any questions. Rock on! :rainbowdetermined2:
