The Last Hurrah · 6:21pm Dec 29th, 2015
I've been thinking... Thinking about my writing career here on FimFiction. How successful it's been recently, and how much attention I've gained over time. Thinking about all my stories and characters you and I have gained to love. Characters such as Techie, Ninroot, and more. I have been thinking about all the ideas I had that I wasn't able to turn into a reality here on the site due to rules and regulations. Then I begin thinking about so many other creative stories and works I can begin writing that don't involve ponies in the magical land. Like, one story I came up with just last night, is about a former biker meeting a Naga (Snake/Human Humanoid) and the two become friends while rival gangs try to attack him and the gang he was formerly part of. But not just that story, but stories like Three Doors Down, and Cleo the Wanderer. Stories that are of my own design, stories that don't go by site regulations. Stories I can write without anybody telling me otherwise.
People, my followers, my friends. I've been thinking about leaving FimFiction. No, not deleting my account or completely going inactive, it's become too much of a habit now to check my FimFiction whenever I have my phone or computer in hand. No, I've been thinking about stopping production on MLP based stories. I believe I have so much creativity and I don't want to use it all for fan fiction that nobody will read years from now and remember who wrote it. Plus, I feel as though the brony community is slowly dying off. But that's a story for another time.
I'm so glad that while I was a member here on FimFiction, I've touched the hearts of so many, and I was able to inspire, and teach those who truly needed teaching and inspiring. All because I shared my creativity with you all.
However, I see this one problem I know I'll face if I leave. And that's my fans. My followers, my people, who will demand and protest against my leave. I know people will be sour when and if I announce my leaving. I know people will probably unfollow and probably dislike all my stories, which will prevent me from leaving. Because I want everybody to be happy. I want everybody satisfied with what I choose for my future. So please, when the time comes, when the day that GOB hands up his crown comes, I hope everybody is satisfied and respects my choice.
I'd just like to say how happy I am to be a part of your lives, how grateful I am to be able to inspire you all, and I'm more than thankful that I am able to call you all my friends. My friends such as BloodSweatAndTea, who was my very first friend on the site, who taught me about creativity and even wrote a couple stories with me, Too bad she left before I did, and I haven't spoken to her in over a few months. I wish her well. My other friend, DeviousNights who was my very first true fan, who told me I inspire him in so many ways. I'm so grateful for him. And to all the other friends I have gained during the OCHG tournament and prior, I thank you. I thank you all for giving me a chance.
So, now all that's left to talk about is the stories for the future. What'll happen to them? Well, they'll still be here. On my page. But, the stories I haven't written will be auctioned off. Or, raffled off I should say. It'll be first come, first served. But like the brony community topic, that's a story for another time. Until then, have a wonderful morning, or evening.
then where will your new stories go?
3650126 DeviantArt probably. If I can find a site like this that accepts original stories, I'll be golden. But for now, DeviantArt is going to be the hub.
What about The New Kid? will you cancel it or will that story be sent to someone else to finish?
I would be sad if you left, but I wouldn't down vote your work here. If you ever get the spark to write here again it would be nice, but I understand your feelings now. Why write something that no one will care for ten years later? I'm supportive of whatever decision you make.
3650204 I don't know. I honestly don't know.
I don't know if you've heard but there is probably an expansion of fimfiction.net in the works that will involve all kinds of stories. I would propose you stay at least for that.
I also propose you still post your pony related stories here since it is the site in which they'll garner more attention/get better opinions/views/feedback or whatever.
Finally I don't want to lose contact with you no matter what so even if you stop writing please don't stop commenting, being active, e.t.c here. If there are other sites where I can contact you, even skype maybe I'd love that.
I still want you to be my friend no matter what. You've given me more than you think.
3650257 Don't worry, even if I stopped writing, I wouldn't leave the site. As I said, it's too much of a habit now to check the site every few minutes or hours. I'll still be active, I just won't write as much pony stories. Also, I've heard of that plan ages ago and I haven't heard about it since it's first discussion.
3650282 Thank you. Please keep in touch.
3650140 oh whats the link to it then?
3650384 I haven't written anything for it yet.
3650396 o
While I can't honestly say I've read any of your stories, I follow you mostly for your fun competitions. If you quit writing here, then I hope you at least continue to host those competitions.
3650754 I would still host the tournaments, however I would just stop writing stories.
