Wow, it's been almost three years since I've been on here. I have no idea how this website works anymore.
If anyone is out there who still cares, hello. I'm not dead.
Recently, I've received a few emails from here saying that people have attempted to contact me with questions about My Little Arkham. I'm going to address those questions right now. Also, just in case people are wondering where the hell I've been the past few years, I'll give a brief update as well.
People have been wondering if I was planning to write a sequel. The answer is no. I had never made any solid plans to write a sequel to My Little Arkham. I'm sorry. It's not that I didn't have any ideas or anything, I just wanted to leave it with an open end.
People have also asked for my permission to write sequels or spin-offs of their own. To that, I'd like to say that I'm flattered that you like this story enough that you want to do something of your own with it. If you want to write something relating to this story, you go right ahead and write something. I wish you the best of luck.
As to where I've been for the past few years, in a nutshell, I've been working. I got a job in a warehouse, and quit two and a half years later to go to college. I'm 22, and I live on my own now. I haven't called myself a Brony in about two years (because I seriously doubt that cute college girls would find that very attractive). I can't remember the last episode I watched, but it was a while ago. I need to get caught up. My obsession with ponies has pretty much been replaced by an obsession with Star Wars.
I can't get enough of Star Wars.
Even though I'm pretty much done with the pony fandom, as far as identifying myself as a part of it, I'm still not completely done with ponies. I've spent these years writing pony greentext stories on 4chan's /mlp/ board. It's been great fun. I've written two larger stories, and a number of smaller oneshots.
For those of you who aren't familiar with greentext stories, if any, I'll explain them. They're called "greentext" because on 4chan, if you begin a paragraph with a > symbol, it turns the following text green. The stories are usually written in second-person format, to make it sound like YOU are the main character. So, you read the story, and the words on the page tell you, the reader, what you are doing in the story. (i.e, "you do this", "you go here", "you talk to him", etc.) They're pretty cool.
What got me into writing greentext was this picture, followed by the prompt "See this. What do?" From that, I got the inspiration to write a story about the main character, Anonymous (you), taking in and caring for a homeless Sunset Shimmer, and eventually falling in love with her.
The other big story I'm writing is still in progress. It's a Star Wars crossover story. It takes place in the Star Wars universe, but the characters use the ponies' names and likeness. Some characters are human, others are aliens, but they're still MLP characters. Me, along with a large number of other writers wrote different Star Wars/Pony crossover stories, with different kinds of protagonists. They're super fun.
I'm sorry I haven't been on here. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I had simply moved on to other things. After all this time, I still appreciate the feedback on the story, and the inquiries on whether or not I was going to continue. Makes me feel like I did a good job.
I'll be keeping in touch on here for a few days, at least. If anyone has any questions or comments, either send me a message, or say what needs to be said in the comment field. I'll get back to you either way.
If anyone here is interested, or even here at all, I can post the link to all my newer stories on pastebin so you can check them out for yourself.
I'm stealing that image. :)
Always enjoyed this story. Pinkie was pretty epic and that is always fun.
