So, A few years ago... I was in a very bad place... I'm going to get into some deep personal stuff so page break
When I originally wrote Dear Princess Celestia. It was in a dark room. On note book paper with a purple marker. Why purple? Well I could say it was on account that the story was about Twilight... But that is a load of BS so I won't. I wrote it in purple because that was all I could find. Tears running down my cheeks I penned Dear Princess Celestia as my own suicide note.
Yeah... Sorry, But that is where DPC actually came from. I was ready and I wanted to die at that moment.
So, I got on my computer, typed out what I had written... And immediately had a problem.
My document was only 616 words. Far to short to submit as a story here and... I wanted people to know. My friends at least to know what had happened to me.
So there I was. Late at night staring at this stupid story that was my suicide note. My shoulders trembled as I tried to keep from bawling. To short...To fucking short! It wasn't fair...It was all I had to explain... Then I got a notification of my friend contacting me.
You all probably know him as Jumbled thought or now Michael Hudson. He is a writer here. Like me...
But, on this night. He would be my Luna.
We talked for...hours. Him just listening as I bawled out my feelings over voice chat. He never stopped me or told me my feelings weren't worth anything he just listened.
… What a sweet privilege and gift that was. To be reminded how much someone MY friend! cared about me. He wasn't talking to me because I was a prolific author...He was there because he was my friend.
So I went back to my suicide note...
And I started to type. Twilight was me after all...
And so Luna entered the story. Luna encouraged Twilight to tell Princess Celestia everything. That she would understand and love Twilight still.
Twilight listened. And so did I.
Writing and posting Dear Princess Celestia was an experience and A gift I never knew I wanted. Private messages, notes, thank yous I got them all. People understood. People had been there. And people wanted me to continue writing. And I said yes.
Dear Princess Celestia is always on my mind. I'm not better yet and neither is Twilight. But we both know people care. And as of today. I know this story has touched at least 1000 people. And for that I say both this.
Thank you
and
You're welcome.
Fight Song will be the continuation of Dear Princess Celestia. I do not know how long it'll be, or when the first chapter will be posted. But it is coming.
Once again... from the bottom of mine and Twilight's hearts.
THANK YOU
