This is it. For real this time. · 4:46am Feb 10th, 2020

I know I've been quiet for a while, which you've heard plenty of times from me. But I'd rather say this and have everyone hear it from me than from assuming. The question is raised, "Are you done?" The answer, you may not like, but yes, I'm done for real this time. There are a lot of reasons behind it.

Life

Life is something that will grab you and take you somewhere that as a creative and as a person, you sometimes don't want to go where life takes you. For me, life has been taking me in a direction that I wasn't expecting. Currently, I'm set to go to college in the coming months to better my life like I've been wanting to for a while now and with the past year, that has been solidified into my mind and heart. Having to do that, leads to less time to work on stuff like fan fiction.

Lack of interest with MLP FIM as a whole

This was more of a larger factor in this choice. I'm not a fan of the franchise anymore like I used to be. My road in the fandom was always odd. It started as me being more of an ass to my now former friends back in high school, to being curious, to being a fan, and then to just bowing out. Over time as the show went on, it was like after season 4, that I started not caring as much about it. It got to the point where I just watched the premieres and finales only just to wrap it up and get some kind of closure to the time I invested into it. After the whole thing ended, I have little, if any, cares about it. I haven't really thought about the show, let alone most of what the fandom does for a while now. Other things gained my interests like Gunpla, games, anime, drink mixing, D&D, and so on. MLP FIM just went to the wayside and I just left it there.

Burnout

This was the final nail in doing this. I'm not gonna pretend that this was meant to be temporary, I think my burnout was just caused by me forcing myself to do something I didn't have any interest in anymore. When I wrote A Rose Along the Summer Sunset, it was supposed to be the last one, the one where it wraps up neatly, but then I got stupid and teased yet again another fight. It was supposed to be Violet's time to shine as a Maiden of Gaia and bring her to the front. But the more I looked it over and tried, the more I hated it and hated it to where I said "Fuck it" and quit it. Then the more I looked, I felt that Turning Back The Clock was the true ending and I fucked up a perfectly good ending. It felt like a good leaving point. There is just no motivation to keep up and do it all. But I'll humor a few questions since there will be some that I'll need to answer. So these answers are cannon to the Getting Back to Good series as a whole.

Are Violet and Applejack a thing?

They tried to make it work, but Violet's temper got the better of her and Applejack couldn't handle it anymore. They are still friends though. She focused on herself for a while after graduation and has been with Aria since then, their relationship while looks like a match made in hell, works out better than others would think.

What is Violet doing with her life?

She took over a Flower Shop and has used her Maiden powers to make simple medicines and flowers that would be best for others and their needs. When she isn't working she's either minding the house or going to another Dazzling show to show support, while she isn't a huge fan, she will still show support.

Is A Rose Along Along the Summer Sunset cannon?

For the sake of me wanting to keep the ending I already got, No, it isn't cannon anymore. I did a great ending a disservice by continuing the story.

With those questions out of the way, here are a few personal ones.

Are you quitting pony full stop?

Yes and no, I'll still linger here cause I like reading stories on here, but I'm not making anything else new on here. I do help out the gang at Mystery Brony Theater 4000 though and that's the only thing I do mlp wise. I don't watch reruns, I don't talk much about it, nothing else but MBT4K since I do have an interest in that. But anything else? No, I don't care for it.

Are you quiting writing?

No, I'm still writing for MBT4K and I write about retro stuff. My stuff for MBT4K starts with Whirl and onward.

As a personal note, I want to say Thank you, with the most serious of ways. I'm glad my stories brought joy to you all and you've followed me as far as you have. I cannot thank you guys enough. It was nice while it lasted. But all good things must end. Thank you all, for everything.
