Announcement about Believing Stories. · 12:34am Jun 18th, 2012
Hey All,
Today begins the final steps of the releasing Believing Stories. I'm sorry for the last-minute changes to the schedule. This Wednesday I will be traveling and will be on vacation afterwords so the schedule is as follows:
Tonight @ 9:30 PM "Go Without Me"
Tomorrow @ 9:30 PM "Something Nagging"
and Tuesday @ 9:30 PM "Equestria" and a shorter "Epilogue"
I want to take this time to thank all of you. I never expected to become Feature my first day with my first fanfic. I understand I have disappointed many of you along the way but I thank those who kept on reading despite that, and to the ones who kept faith in me no matter what. I've toyed with many ideas on how the story will end and your input has helped me to decide on this ending. I never intended it to end like this...but after some consideration I am happy with it...and excited to see what the general reaction is.
To all the individuals who helped me with this story: I wish I could thank all of you here but I'll send you thanks individually. :) You know who you are.
I will be honest the ending of this story is meant to purposely cause each of you to keep questioning. The way I wrote it was so some of you will get the truth but if you want to reason around enough you can come to a different conclusion. You will understand when you read it in a few days.
I have to admit, this story was perhaps a little too much to chew once bitten off. The concept has potential that I know I did not use fully. I challenge you and give you permission to use the concept and write your own versions. This story can end so many ways and while I considered writing a few multiple endings...I doubt I will.
Anyway, thank you all. Let the home stretch begin!
as long as you are happy with it and it shows we will be happy with it
I also appreciate having you as an associate and fellow writer. Much love!
Hugs?
180414 You betcha! (HUG!)
Oh wow, this is already almost over? Didn't quite see that coming. In any event, well done with your first story. I've enjoyed it quite a bit. I look forward to anything you write in the future. Cheers
Well I have to say that I wasn't thrilled with some of the twists it has taken, but that doesn't change the quality of the story.
I look forward to seeing what you do next.

180407 Thank you, Magnumopai, :)
This was your first?
Holy shit, my first (and current) are fucking terrible.
I love this story with all my heart is an amazing ride and awesome first story. I give you all my love with this story and can't wait to see what you write in the future! Thank you for the trip to the moon as well! It was a blast!
180441 Glad you enjoyed it :)
180456 yeah...I threw the Dilestia concept out the window when I realized how many people STRONGLY hated the idea. I think it ended up actually helping.
You first fic? I'd say it was good for a first. You kept me hooked after the first chapter, so take this moustache.
Hey, if anything, the one thing you can say to all the haters is that you had one damn good idea. Even if the technical parts of the story weren't always "perfect", your story had heart and inspiration. It was an enjoyable read, most likely will continue to be, and I can't wait for the new installments to be published.

I'm kind sad that the story is ending so quick
*cough* afterwards *cough*
I loved this story so much!!!!!
Ho boy. It's going to be like the ending from Inception, isn't it?
As in, you don't know if it's still all real or still an illusion?
I had originally expected the story to be a bit more drawn-out, but the way you decided to do it was fine, too. Less time exploring Celestia's sanity and more plot.
Can't wait for the ending!
It'll probably be released just before I get on the plane to Orlando on Tuesday, so I'll have a good way to kick off my vacation. Keep up the good work!
First fic? Hot damn, you're making me nervous! I'm supposed to compete with that? Anyway, I enjoy endings that leave room for interpretation (MLD). Gives you stuff to muse over.
180506 eep! *goes to fix*
EDIT: scratch that. I can't edit blog posts apparently?
I've been reading a lot about writing recently, and, it seems to me, you never had a plan. You wrote this one day, and when it was successful, you tried to continue. You got stuck and took the story in a different direction. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what it feels like.

Seriously? That's kinda insane if it's the case.
180933 I wrote it and I had one plan but I changed that plan many times. But yeah, you're basically right the plan I had for this story was not always one unified one. I'll probably go back after awhile a try to read it as a whole and change it to be more unified but honestly I'll need a bit of a break before I do that. lol
I really like this story. In a way, instead of a "Brony in Equestria," It's "Pony on Earth."
And it's awesome.
REALLY awesome.
Like grizzly bear with laser chainsaw arms awesome.
I'm really enjoying your story so far, hiccups and all, and I commend you for sticking it out and finishing your first story. Every time I've tried writing fanfiction in the past I never get past the first couple of chapters. I'm sure you'll only get better from here on out, especially if you take the criticism for this story and keep it in mind for future stories.
