Yes, cuz now it's canon he's a deep thinker, and it give perfekt opertuneties. Maybe Pinkie think he's depressed, take him to Flutter so he can talk 'bout his feelings
3168553 Yeah, that sounds nice ^_^ (dat spoiler honey xD)
Write it, but not as a sequel. Sequels limit your audience. People who haven't read the first one, won't want to read the second.

Yes. Like I said to 3168551 , now it's canon he's a deep thinker, and it give perfekt opertuneties. Maybe Pinkie think he's depressed, take him to Flutter so he can talk 'bout his feelings

3168560 You can still take advantage of the audience of One last letter from a loyal companion without making the new one a direct sequel.
Instead, write the new one independently and publish it. Then write a blog post tagged with One last letter from a loyal companion, advertising your new story, and saying that while it's not strictly a sequel, it deals with many of the same themes and is written in a similar style.
Seriously, none of the sequels I've been involved with as a writer/editor/collaborator have performed as well as the original story in the series. Take a look at ScratchnTavi's Flitter x Cloudchaser series if you want a good demonstration of this. The first story has over 700 views; and there's a steady downhill decline to the most recent, which has less than 250 views so far. The only exception (if you have M-rated stories visible) is the M-rated side-story because… well, clop is popular. The quality of the stories hasn't gone down — in fact, I think her writing has improved noticeably.
Another example: Miss Spectrum's "My Dear" stories (M-rated). The first was more popular.
Another example: the naan bread series.
Another example: TiM series.

Okay, thank you for that insight. I personally do know of a sequel of mine which preformed better than thr original, but I'll still consider what you said.
