A Promise To You, The Readers... · 3:13pm Feb 28th, 2018
Hello from Torremolinos, Spain, everyone!
As I recover from jet lag and wait out the rain that's falling here, I was checking out one of the stories here on FiM Fiction. It was called Daughters of Glimmer, and it popped up on the recommended bar to the right of Rebuilding. It was fairly well written and I was interested in seeing where it went. Then I saw that dreaded "incomplete" tag, and that the last update had been in December of 2016.
Another abandoned fanfic.
That's the problem with this stuff, and one of the things that kept me away from it for so long. When you write for fun, you soon realize that it can be hard work turning out something that passes muster for you. It can be very easy to just let the story lie there and then die from neglect. And it takes a certain amount of faith on the part of the reader to follow a long story that's nowhere near completion.
So, while you're all waiting for the next update, I felt I wanted to say something. I promise you that this story will be completed, and that I'm not just going to leave it to die. I'm writing this now because this morning, after waking up in darkness at 5 AM, I got to thinking about an idea for a bonus chapter once I'd completed this main story.
I know what my ending will be. I know what leads up to that ending. Hell, I pretty much have all the details worked out for the second and third acts. I just have to get through this first act, and then I think it's all downhill.
So, I'm making a public commitment to seeing this through. There are apparently a couple of hundred of you out there who have liked this story enough to save it to your libraries. For your sake, I'll make certain you'll have a whole story in the end.
