Hello,

Sorry about this but from experience I know that people don't read my blog so this is the best way to reach those who have/had interest in this story.

I deleted a story the other day about Flutteryshy having to go to the doctor where she got diagnosed with HIV, a lot of people seemed to dislike simply because I gave Flutteryshy HIV. Originally the story was based on an interview I did ages ago with a woman who had gotten infected with HIV (which was why it was so modern with blood tests, the internet, dating sites and stuff like that, which was another thing that some people didn't seem to like about it) and my story was pretty much a re-telling oh her story with my own twist to it (and quite a few people liked the twist). However, I ended up doing something with the story that I told myself never to do! I changed elements to aplease my audience, which ended up with making a story that I already to begin with didn't feel like was mine but after those changes it just became worse and it felt even less like it was a story of my creation. Therefore I choice to delete it, both because it was the worst rated story I had (about 50% lieks and 50% dislikes) but also because I had grown to dislike it.

What does that have to do with this story? Well, I never intended to make a second chapter and I really dislike it and I will be deleting it soon (so you can get a change to download it if you like it before I remove it), I feel like I did the same with this story by adding a second chapter like how I heavily edited my other story with Fluttershy getting HIV that I just didn't feel any joy in writing it and not it's just an eyesore to me :/ 
However, I'm considering deleting the entire story and not just the second chapter, though for a completely different reason.

WHY?!?!? Okay... I'll try to keep it short but it's a bit of a long story. I wrote this story BEFORE the Hearth's Warming Eve episode, so at the time no one knew what Faust was going to do with a holiday related episode. And because of that I wrote this as a Christmas story, which at the time I was rather ignorant of Christmas... I live in Denmark and we celebrate something called Jul, which I at the time thought to be Christmas, so I got confused when people started to talk about Jesus and shit in the comment section because I've never associated Jul/Christmas with Jesus Christ "and why is that?" you might say. Oh, boy, here we go...

LECTURE TIME!!!

The celebration that a lof of people know as Christimas/Xmas has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus Christ and the religion of Christianity. Christimas is 'stolen' by Christanity from a Pagen tradition called Jul/Yule, when Constantine froced everyone in the mostly Pagen Roman Empire to convert to Christianity and thus Christianity had to incorporate the various Pagan tradtions into Christianity.

I don't hope this will start a flame war with Christians now... anyway!

So yes, I wrote it when I was ignorant of what Christmas really was VS what Jul is (I just wanted to make a holiday story with happy thoughts that should bring joy to people (though I mostly wrote it because I wanted Twilight and Luna to have an awkward kiss under a mistletoe, did they even have those in the Hearth's Warming Eve episode?) without making it into some religious stuff that I don't want to support). Back in the day when I wrote this I simply thought that Christmas was the same as Jul and even though we celebrate it in the exact same way with the tree, the gifts, the big dinner etc. We don't really do it for the same reasons and therefore I feel that this story is fueling an agenda that I simply cannot support as I'm an anti-theist and I find religions to be probably the most despeakable thing mankind has ever invented.
Not to mention that I don't believe the Jesus of the Bible has ever existed, there are too many figures that Jesus has been borrowing from to make him believable not to mention that none of the great writers of his time never spoke a word about it... it was only 50-100 years after his death that people begin to write stuff about him, stuff that had supposedly gone from mouth to mouth and thus not reliable... anyway, I'm getting totally off topic here! Sorry >_>

Therefore I'm left with two chocies:
1. Delete the entire story.
2. Re-write the whole thing into a  Hearth's Warming Eve special (and never speak of the second chapter ever again) and either replace this or upload it as a new story (which will probably get less views as this story already has quite a few views).

I can imagine that people would perfer the second option and I could probably do that, but I've so many other stories I much rather write in my head and I still got 3 unfinished stories that I'll probably either re-write or delete and re-post when I've rewritten them from scrap (I haven't really made my mind on that yet). I guess the only thing that really holds me back is that this story is the most read story that I've ever written... it isn't the one that has the most followers (maybe because it's ended?), that achievement goes to 'The Demon Goddess' which has been onhold for more than a year, so you can kinda see why I might not was to waste time on 'fixing' this story rather than 

Regardless, what do you guys think? Do you even care? Should I just delete it and maybe re-post a new version when I feel like writing one (if ever)? Or just delete it and put the entire thing behind me and focus on the stuff I really want to write? Or maybe someone would be willing to edit it for me?

Thanks for reading!

PS. I'm not sure if people are aware, but I only write Twilight x Luna ship fics with the occasionally Nightmare Moon x Celestia and in some future plans as a side-ship for my one of main-ship (TwiLuna) stories, I might be tossing in some VinylTavia, LyraBon and RanbowPie. So it any of those ships might be of your liking, I would suggest you watch/follow me, I know I've been quite for a while due to university, but I feel like a part of me died when I stopped writing these stories and I want to get back into the game!

PSS. Again, sorry for post this here rather than on a blog post, but I just know from experience that people are WAY more likely to reply here than on my blog... you've forced my hand you CIS scum! J/K
