The Sun Won't Come Home · 10:48pm Sep 4th, 2014
I'd like to say that I write for me, that I write what I want, and that I don't care what anyone else thinks; but that'd be a bold-faced lie. I write not only because I enjoy it (because I really do), but I enjoy the reactions. I enjoy the favorites, the comments (even the ones pointing out logical errors) and votes. I even enjoy the downvotes because it means that I made someone think about something, then have to come to the conclusion that they didn't like it before downvoting.
(Please don't take this as an invitation to downvote everything I've written).
I can't help but notice all the recent favorites on The Sun Won't Come Home, and then I felt like I was ripping you latecomers off by ending it just one chapter and two stingers later. If you weren't happy with that, and wanted the story to continue, what would you have wanted to see?
Or maybe I ended it correctly? Maybe that's all the story that needed to be told, and it was perfectly fine to end it there. I don't know. I might never know. But I wouldn't mind hearing what you think.
For those of you who aren't reading this because I tagged TSWCH, thanks for getting this far. Next, I'm going to try my hand at a humanized story, another light shipping story that's more fluff than anything. But seriously. Can I really have been a member of this fandom for this long and have only written one TaviScratch story? That's gotta change.
I enjoyed the tale. It was a short tale of a past, forced parting, a short reunion, and an enforcement of that parting.
Continuing things would have made it... possibly very convoluted. You would have had to change things ever since Human Celestia laid eyes on Twilight in order for the story to continue beyond what you had. This is in order for the story to still make sense.
The cover art was a nice touch, by the way.
It was bittersweet, but I think you made the right call.
Well what I would have liked to see is Celestia coming back to Equestria (with her family, or maybe after her husband died and her children were independent). But I had a feeling from the start that that wasn't ever in the cards.
So what what I would have liked to see, which is compatible with the ending, is Twilight talking to Luna right after coming back to Equestria the first time.
2428301 I have to agree with this, screen time for Luna.
The story was very good but I feel likes something is missing. I don't know maybe it's just the part of me that wants to see a more drawn out tale with maybe some drama, action and backstory.
Not sure one what to think of the ending thought. didn't really like it but can't fault you for wanting to close it off like that. I guess it is because some readers like me want a ending that isn't really and ending. something that gives the reader an opening to imagine situations that would never written down. Still a great story that will stay within my faves.
There is one thing I am curios about. When Celestia dies wouldn't her magic give out thus transforming her back into an Alicorn?
theory time; maybe celestia came back to equesrtia without anypony knowing and thats why there was the funeral. Celestia is in equestria because she knew that if she stayed any longer she would have died herself and would never have met closure with past things in equestria. So with what ever magic she could muster she teleported back to equestria to live in secrecy and keep her existence at a low until she was strong enough again.
There you go my theory that probably made no sense and was probably repetitive.
I feel you did a good job ending the story. Looking at it, an ending was fine there and drawing it out could dilute the intent of the story. I liked it!
