As the author of Friendship is Software, I hope you’ve enjoyed the story so far. I apologize if you feel like we’ve stopped right when things are getting interesting in Act II, but in all honesty, this is about as far as I’m willing to go with the story right now. It was always more of a thought experiment than an actual story concept—a “What If?” about retelling the MLP series pilot in the cyberpunk genre.
However, the story doesn’t have to end here. I hereby give permission to my readers to pick up the story where it left off and do whatever you like with the story. Expand, continue, parody, criticize—it’s all fair game. All I ask is that you link back to this original story and cite me as the original author if you choose to do something with the narrative.
In the meantime, I will continue to work on my other stories, including my in-progress fic Our Lady’s Courtship. Thanks to all my readers for their dedication and interest, and here’s to the Six Coders’ inevitable victory over Nightmare Moon.
P.S. I may post a few extra scenes that I wrote out for the end of the story a long time ago. Please let me know in the comments if you’d like to see what was intended to be the final act.
