Hello and good day, weird ponpons~
I would just like to say that it has been a wild ride. Yes, the fic is now 100% complete (at least in my book) and as I replied to a comment in the fic, no, I don't have plans for a sequel.
Anyway, I'd like to share a few things about the fic with you as well. This should have been the second sentence, but whatever...
First off, I would like to thank all of you for being weird enough to read my weird fic. I still wonder why though, even after that disastrous dream chapter. Brr...
And speaking of that chapter, I have wanted to rewrite it, but decided against it. I decided to leave that chapter as is, as a reminder that I can write horribly, and that it also made me learn not to info-dump too much. It's bad for writing. And it was also confusing to read. And maybe it'll stop other weird ponpons from reading the fic, too.
It's easy to write because you can visualize the stuff in your head. What is difficult is to make sure the readers can visualize them as well. I failed that in that chapter.
Basically, it'll stay there to remind me to not fuck up my writing.
Ahem...
Moving on...
I'm kinda-sorta sad that no one noticed that each chapter of Arc 2 ended with a zero in the word count. Aw well~
Also, as to why I decided not to publish one chappie each week for Arcs 3 and 0 ... well, I already finished writing all chappies of Arcs 3 and 0. I mean, I still could do a weekly update, buuuuut fuck that, I'll do a daily update instead, because, as someone said...
Nnnnnope. :V
Ahem...
And then about a sequel.
As I said, no, there won't be a sequel, because 1) I am now happy how I ended the story, and 2) I don't want to have a repeat of Four Friends, which is a failed sequel to my already-complete Four Paws Pokémon fanfic. And no, 4 isn't my favorite number.
Next is about why I tagged that story as [Complete] on chapter 0 - 02.
Well, I was reading Skirt's series of blog posts (the damn lemur made me addicted to the Austraeoh seriesbut then again, I joined the east ride long before Skirts revealed that Imploding Colon is his alt.F'naaaaaaa) and read these lines...
What if there is no happy ending... no forever-after...
And it made me wonder. Hm... Sooooooo ... as I published chappie 0 - 02, I tagged the story as Complete, just to see the reactions. It was the only reason why I did it, and most of you weird ponpons ... liked it?
I started to wonder if I should publish the remaining two chappies, so I kinda-sorta shared my little problem to the weird ponpons in the Lemur Cave discord chat.
Don't mind the nicknames. The ponpon mods there looooooooove aboosing their mod powahs to change their members' nicks. It's all in good fun.I think.
The ponpons there are weird. Or maybe it's just me?
In the end, since there are also quite a few number of weird ponpons who wanted a happy ending or an extra chapter or a sequelgasp!, I ended up publishing the remaining chappies. Better to end the fic with closure than letting the readers expect a sequel, right? Right? I'm also not that evil to end a fic with a sad ending. Not yet.
So, uh, yeah...
...
... ...
... ... ...
Right, I think that's all I wanted to say.
Don't expect new fics from me any time soon though.
Anyway, have a great day, weird ponpons~
*poofs*
Neat, well I’m glad it ended on a high note.
yay - can now move off my 'to read' list and catch up! enjoyed the beginning greatly.
Well, it was a ride and I'm glad you're ending it. I wish you well, you wrote something nice to read and I hope you can bring something just as interesting soon.
With that said, I did notice the chapters starting in zero, but I quickly understood the why, so I felt no reason to comment about it.
Have a nice day.
You did a great job with this story don't let anyone say otherwise.
I'm not your favourite number?? D:
*throws 4780072 off a cliff*
I'd say as a reminder that you should always take the time to re-read edit and polish your work. That glass is half full.
It's adorable how you call us ponpons. Endearing.
much better than ponuthanks for the storyWeird ponpons? We might have to steal that...
