//------------------------------// // Final Letter // Story: The Little Pony Legend: A New Generation // by MaggiesHeartLove //------------------------------// Well, once again we’ve reached the end of another Little Pony Legend story. Sadly, I regret to say that I don’t believe this is one of my strongest works. There are so many ways in which I could have really made it my own but… if I’m being honest, after a while it became a chore just to find the motivation to finish it. I didn’t want to leave the story incomplete, I owed you guys that much, but I can’t say it became easier as it went along. In truth, I decided to make this story as an experiment. To see if I could really make one last Little Pony Legend story before I fully moved on with original works. While I am happy with how this turned out (in that I managed to finish it) I don’t consider it the official finale to the overall saga. I still consider Guardians of Harmony as the TRUE official ending, and this is more of a side-conclusion, since it’s only loosely connected to the LPL mythos. I realized this when it came to me that I didn’t feel anything when I finished this. I half expected to feel the same whirlwind of emotions I felt when I first concluded the series back in 2017. I still recall the moment vividly. The realization that one of my longest running projects was coming to a close filled me with an overwhelming sense of pride, nostalgia, and a bit of sadness, yet at the same time a sense of joy that I managed to begin and complete something like this. With A New Generation, it was… meh. I guess I’m just not the type of person to dig up old successes when I should have left them resting in peace. As sad as it is to hear for my longtime readers, my Little Pony Legend days are long behind me. Don’t get me wrong, I still love My Little Pony and this story also started out as a tribute to the franchise as a whole. Heck, FiM is one of the basis inspirations for my original MystiKnights series, which is something I really want to focus on right now. I’m just not feeling as motivated to write fanfiction as much as I used to. And this time, I KNOW in my heart that I truly mean it. With all of that said, I do hope the story managed to bring you all at least a little bit of entertainment and joy in these dark times, and I can’t thank you all enough for your support. Merry Christmas.
