Edit: Changed a bit by request of a reader, the edited segment is underlined.
Bronycon's closing up shop after next year, Jan released a "BUTTON MASH IS FUCKING DEEEAAAD!" video, and if sketchy rumors prove correct Friendship is Magic will be ending after season 9. I'm getting that distinct "You missed the train so stop waiting at the station" feel... but then again I get that feeling about literally everything so I don't think I'm going to pay attention to it. I've always wanted to go to a con but have been too nervous to do so, both for financial reasons, and because I'm genuinely scared to ever visibly enjoy MLP in a public setting to the point where I passed on seeing the movie in theaters last year, and the only bit of MLP merch I've ever bought was on a trip with my girlfriend to New Veg-LAS Vegas because I'd literally never see anyone there again. Still... I should go to one before the ride ends for good. Maybe not Bronycon on the other side of the country from me, but still... EFNW is pretty close to me.
But anyway... I just hope that people will still be around on Fimfiction after everything is over, because I still have a lot of writing I want to do even though I can never seem to find the right combination of free time and motivation to just tear into it like I used to. This place is pretty much the only reason anyone knows I exist and it would feel really bad to lose an audience, because I really do feel good when I hear from people that have read my material and enjoyed it. So much of my life has been spent marveling at the storytelling and artistry of others and I can't even describe how fulfilling it is to give some of that back even if it is just my weird fanfiction on the internet. Thank you all, I mean it.
Anyway, Reunion is still on the back burner. I've been plinking away at the other thing when I can but... well let's just say I wasn't over Dad's dying as much as I thought I was and I've been extra screwed up recently in a relapse of sorts. There were a few nights when I was really glad to have someone to message on Skype or Discord. I hope to have that out soonish, especially because now I have a few people available to preread it and give me some feedback and grammar corrections. I don't know if anyone on here will enjoy it but I feel it's one of those personal things for reasons that I'll detail later. That's it for the moment. Thank you for reading.
Hope things turn out well for ya...
Don’t feel bad; I only got on the Brony train after Twilicorn happened, which means I’ve missed all the good stuff.
Excuse me, but that's just very sketchy details! WE DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL BE TRUE!!!!!!!! >:( >:/

God I'd love to be wrong here, 100%. That will be some tasty crow if I'm forced to eat it, and I hope I am.

Would you like me to add a disclaimer to the blog?
4918650
Sure.
4918655
Done.

More of just an edit, actually. I hope it suffices all the same.
