    A Lost Sunset

    Hello everypony,

    If you've seen recent blog posts, you know I've been cancelling my stories. I've lost interest in writing and...well, I honestly haven't been able to come up with ideas for my stories. This includes A Lost Sunset, as I had no idea where to go with it, and still don't.

    Some News

    Hi everypony,

    I come today to say...well, I'm cancelling my stories. I'm going to cancel the smaller ones first, as I honestly don't remember where I was going to go with those stories. These stories being the Twilight and Moondancer Investigations, Crystal Queen of Sunsets and The Funny Little Guy.

2,000 views?! No way! · 3:27pm Nov 30th, 2015

I just hit 2,000 views with A Lost Sunset?! Why are you people still reading this stuff?!

In all seriousness, thank you. I can't believe people actually like my stuff. Thank you so much.

So, in celebration of 2,000 views, I'm going to do a few fun facts of the story.

Fun Fact #1: The 'Into the Fire' chapter where Sunset fights Gilda and Lightning Dust had 3 different endings. My original ending had Lightning beat up Sunset and Celestia, Luna and Tree Hugger appear and save the day. The trio had called the police and an ambulance and...the ending was really grim sounding when I wrote it. That and in the timeline of the story, Sunset just got out of the hospital last week! So, I changed it. The other two endings were Rainbow saving the day.(The one ending I picked.) The other was just like the Rainbow one but...you won't believe who I picked to come save them: Flash Sentry.

Fun Fact #2: The 'The Fire Still Burns' chapter had a different ending as well. Originally, when Gilda hits Sunset, she loses consciousness for a second and sees her unicorn self. There, her unicorn self tells her to get up and fight, but, not because she needs to get up and save her friend but because she's Sunset Shimmer. That and her unicorn self kinda makes her turn into her od self for a bit. However, I felt it was too...against the main plot. I thought it went against the fact she can't remember who she is.

Fun Fact #3: The Non-Canon chapter was actually an entirely different chapter all together. It was supposed to be Sunset dreaming and there was a parody of the fish attorney scene from Lisa: The Painful RPG. Then, it would switch to her waking up in bed with unicorn Twilight. And Flash Sentry. However, my pre-reader said it was a little too random and I agreed.

Fun Fact #4: The chapter 'A Sparkle in your Step' is probably my favorite chapter so far. I had a random idea when I was writing the chapter before it and stuck the 'Twilight got the book ending' and...I don't know. Originally, I was going to have Celestia read it and try to go from there. But, my brain told me this was more interesting and as soon as I wrote it down, I instantly had the idea on how Twilight would have accidently got the book. I don't know how, but I definitely don't regret it, even though some of the readers have been against it. As for the chapter, after writing a cocky and very stubborn and very trust-paranoid Twilight in the 'The Rainboom Thieves', it was a ton of fun writing an innocent filly Twilight. I don't why, but I really enjoyed writing it.

Anyways, thank you all! I hope to keep going and make the story even better!

3581496 No, those are tears of joy.:pinkiesmile:

3581502 Sorry if the context was off.

YOSH!! Your story deserves this praise my friend!!! It's SO AWESOME!

Keep your Flames of Youth burning!!! *cries joyful anime tears*

3581504 Thanks! I still can't believe I made it this far. I honestly thought no one would want to read my stories. This is so nice...

3581513 I know. I've experienced similar things. Anyhoo, see ya next update (which I hope, will be soon!).

3581516 It coming. Its a bit of a challenge but I'll get it done!

3581520 Also, did you like these fun facts? I know you already knew one of them, but still...

3581524 Yea. They were quite intriguing!

3581525 Oh, and the Flash Sentry one is true. I did consider doing that one. I'm not joking.

3581527 I see! No. That's not an issue to me. I'm fine.

3581531 Heh heh...I don't know, it was just a scraped idea in the end. Well, back to writing!

Originally, when Gilda hits Sunset, she loses consciousness for a second and sees her unicorn self. There, her unicorn self tells her to get up and fight, but, not because she needs to get up and save her friend but because she's Sunset Shimmer.

You should have put that ending.

3581539 I felt that I couldn't, it felt a little too forced and it felt like it was going against the story. The point of this story is Sunset's journey without memories and not knowing who she really is, er, was. Sorry.

3581554
Oh, yeah. I forgot she has amnesia. :twilightblush:

3581561 How did you forget that?! That's the whole idea of the story!

3581566
Well, you haven't updated for a while since you were ill.

3581573 Ah...yeah. Sorry about that.:pinkiesick:

3581578
It's alright. :twilightsmile:

3581599 Also, did you like the new chapter?

3581605
I'm gonna read it later.

P.S: Want to see my stories? Of course, if you want.

3581643 I read them. Specifically, the Sonata story which I upvoted. I liked it.

Sorry, I'm not good at expressing opinions.
