It is with deepest regret that I confess that I am incapable of properly finishing this story. My inspiration for the story is completely gone. This story was born out of a time when I was SEVERELY annoyed with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and their perpetual lack of progress. They have since gotten their marks and become far better ponies than they were before.
In addition, and I am willing to admit this now, I'm seeing problems in how I was writing Twilight Sparkle.
I cannot, in good conscience, pretend that I'll be able to finish this story.
I am sorry, and humbly beg the forgiveness of everyone who likes this story.
