Why yes, it has been 24 weeks since my last retrospective blog post, but who was counting anyway? I'm back for another round and that's what matters!
Once again, I'll be taking a look at my past work and posing the question of... why? Will I know the answer? Probably not, but keep reading to find out! Today I'll be looking at Ponies and Cage and The Beasts of Tartarus!
Greetings, champion! Bet you didn't think I'd actually continue this, did you? Bet you thought I'd go and disappear for two years again? Honestly, wouldn't blame you, there's a bit of a precedent for it. But last time was fun, I wanna keep doing it! So, what's on the docket today?
Hello, hey, hi, what's up, how's it going! It's me, Alexstrazsa, aka that guy who was deeply involved with the fandom but is now washed up, irrelevant, out of touch, and probably no one remembers him. That guy!
Yo, what's up everyone? How's it going. I'm here with my... what year is it? Ah, yes, 2021.
I'm here with my annual blog post, because let's be real, I've been disconnected from this fandom since like 2016. But I was digging through a lot of old screenshots I had, and had a lot of fond memories of my time in the MLP fandom.
Because it's hard to follow the story?
But what if it's a story about bashing butts?
Yep.

What if it's being funded every month?
If it's a choose your own adventure or an anthology... maybe.
Otherwise, it's hard to call it "a story" at some point.
There is a point where something needs to just end
I think Appledashery would beg to differ.
Skirts is aiming for 2000 chapters there if what's been discussed in the comments is true.
Nah, it's time for you to git gud.
I wish there were more 200+ chapter stories.
One shots are so overdone.
The East-bound ride ain't stopping anytime soon.
You should also add: if the same single story has over 900 chapters without even splitting into smaller stories, the author should rethink their life.

Well, I looked at the story... I won't go beyond that.
