Weekly Update - Where we go from here... · 5:17pm Feb 16th, 2015
Well then, now that Valentines day is out of the way, we can focus a little more on getting back to the alternation grind.
Oh Derpy, you so silly.
One Part of Adopting Fluttershy followed by Something You'd Regret, until both of those are finished. Office Love takes significantly more work, so I'm putting it on hold one more time. So, with a little luck, I can create Adopting Fluttershy Part 4 by the end of the week. (or next week)
On another note, I have a conversation point today: Why I write.
Jesus Christ, Priest. You've said this a million times. What could you possibly say that you haven't before.

This picture, which was given to me from a 4chan thread, made my month. Maybe even year. He said he was reading My Special Somepony during his time in some backwater countries and it helped him through some tough times. He isn't the first to come forward to mention a story like this either. Stories of Trapped and My Special Somepony helping people through depression. Stories of One Night At Anon's finale picking up someones' cruddy day.
I love to hear when something I have written has impacted the world in some tiny way. I can assure you that these stories have changed my life in a massive way. I love doing these things for you all and I'm determined to never stop contributing for as long as I can.
In fact, that brings me to my next point.
How can I never stop contributing? Well, it's simple.
One of these days, the ride will end. Our little MLP hole in the world will become a shadow of it's former self and we will be all but forgotten. This is when I intend to finally make the leap and work on completely original works. In fact, in that respect, I have high hopes for a few of my stories. Office Love is going to be almost 100k words when it's all done, and my silent hope is to turn all of the characters into humans, do a massive editing spree on it, and maybe turn it into a book.
Who knows? Maybe it could even get published. Would it? Probably not. But I can try.
The point is, that I love you guys and cannot thank you all enough.
On another note, I believe I'm going to work on giving each of my individual stories some dedicated Cover art. Man's Best Friend, My Special Somepony and The Lyler Archive all have their own cover art, and I really like the feeling they have. It feels more professional. If anyone is an artist out there and would be interested in helping me out, lemme know. Maybe we can work something out.
wow that is amazing to hear!
its always incredible to see how one's work can impact people so meaningfully. my special somepony was truly beautiful when i first read it. after you made me cry over an anon story!
as always FP your work is fantastic and its always a delight to read your stories. keep it up man!
Yea when I die.
I wished I found you stories sooner. It probably would've helped me a lot before, when I was in super deep depression. Better late than never though, since it helped me stop seeping back into depression, at least back into my chronic state of sadness. Reading through your stories actually helped me finally start writing my own very first story, which I thank you for critiquing. I hope you can stick around to help me improve. I might not be as talented as you but I still want my story to be the best it can be, even if it can't compare to yours.
Keep doing what you want to do. I'll be anxiously awaiting your upcoming chapters. Good luck as always.
That photo truly is what it's all about; to know that your work reached out and resonated with someone, be it to make them laugh or cry, happy or sad. You should feel damn proud, FP.
You're the best.
