I'll be writing about this a bit more coming up. If you've got anything you want to ask, now's the time.
The hard part about the ending wasn't in the writing of it. It was believing in it. Thank you, all.
Stories about: Feelings too complicated to describe, ponies

Congratulations!
There was a point that I believed it would never be finished. Are you done with ponies forever, now?
well, started to read it yesterday because I thought 'if author showed his work to public - he probably put a lot of effort in finishing it'. Guess this is true, but I sadly doesn't get same feeling of 'masterpiece!' as from "Mare .." and dropped out of this train of thought ..But not before picking up this line:
- sums up political (and animal?) activism of today ... Even if you know some right things it feels nearly everyone else really opposed to implementing them, even if they say otherwise!
some morning thoughts, not yet connected to any bigger picture.
It seems our superstructures (corporations, giant firms, giant-anything) way outgunned human ability to voluntary put up some thinking/effort into counteracting their wrongs. Probably real reason there should be NO millionaries is like this: if each human can put aside like 1000$ / month for some urgent action, and they can freely associate up to Dunbar' number (~100 individuals?) - then $ 1 M in one place is really like eating plutonium and pretend it doesn't harm you. May be such 1$M projects still can be carried out, under strict rules of not using known or even newly-discovered psychological loopholes (like modern politics and advetrizement do eagerly). It seems for human (++) oriented civilization we really should respect our limitations, not just go forward with unrealistic (for now) 'oh, if 10 000 of workers want to influence course of firm they all surely can come together and just do it', political ideology, because this is not how humans demostrably work, it gives rise to some other ghost of hierarchical structures, and we are weak at fighting/resisting those ghosts, at least for now. In other words modern superstructures can't be handled by human psychology, and better to bee scaled down (while we still have computers and some modern ideas about organization). Of course both 'Corporation-as-dumb-AI' and individuals in system who apparently benefit from current situation will try their best worst to stop any change ...

Honestly, probably. I'll be moving to Offprint in the future, I think, and still working on fiction though.

Would you mind linking us to it as well? I'd still love to follow you!
As for questions, hm. Only one's really coming to mind here at the moment:
It doesn't seem likely, but I'm kind of wondering if, through some strange series of events, Photo Finish being a unicorn was somehow linked to the pod of this timeline. I'm guessing not, though?
And congratulations on finishing it. :)

No that was me totally forgetting she was an earth pony for a hot second while writing and missing that in the edit
Other ponies I forgot if they had a horn or not and had to Google: Dotted Line, Pony Joe, Saffron Masala

Oh, sorry. :D
...Ah. And them, I now notice I don't remember about (except Pony Joe, pretty sure he's a unicorn) and didn't even think about. Eh. Well, sorry.
