Let this be understood about the Pony POV Series · 5:45pm Mar 1st, 2017
I repeat, as soon as the Finale's third and final arc is complete, as far I'm concerned, the Pony POV Setting belongs to every bronie alive,
as long it stays in the fandom and:
1) No, 'where am I?' memory loss moments due to mind affecting magic or use of magic.
2) Movie/Special/Cartoon Canon Villains level up in proportion to their challenge ratio in canon if not more so.
3) No depower/'gotten rid of', of Celly and Discord's families.
4) No accusation or OOC fics.
And I am DONE with fan fiction, it's literally what I promised my family to write professionally already.
Even if you never write again, you will visit and comment on our stories, right?
Well you definitely left your mark on this site and the fandom. Frankly if I would be quite proud if wrote anything that got half of the popularity your stories have garnered.
...But...
Fanfiction is written professionally.
The divide is... nonexestent. There's whole series of fanfiction out there, star wars, star trek, doctor who... Sherlock holmes, Fables... yes, copyright makes it a little harder, but the fact is copyright is a recent development. I...
...I can see you stepping away from pony. But fanfiction, in its entirety? I can't. I'm sorry, but you are now and always will be a fanfiction writer. And that doesn't mean you can't also be a professional writer. The two are not mutually exclusive.
This is assuming professional authors don't also write fanfiction, or that spinoff stories that are sanctioned by a particular subject are not essentially fanfiction.

Seconded, essentially.
Oh God, does that mean the end of Ponies and Dragons (Just Have Fun)? Can the other authors at least keep posting to it?

If they chose to.
I totally get wanting to take a break from fanfiction to write professionally, but to disavow writing it forever seems a little harsh. I'm obviously not saying you should sacrifice your career for it, just that if you should find yourself in a better place than expected and you're willing and able...
Regardless, please either use this account, your deviantart, or some other medium to let us all know where we can find your published work.
It's understandable you wish to write your own personal works after competing 'Pony POV 8: Finale' though giving up fanfiction completely is a bit of a stretch if you wish to go back for a bit of inspiration or motivation at some point but would 'Queen Majesty', 'Ponies and Dragons' and 'History of Tirek' be completely cancelled or would another author continue it?

They'll be finished, hopefully. They're already being written by other authors and have been by day one. As it says int he credits.
4441195 Ah, thank you for the information
