(Copied from my blog)

Hello, everyone!

It has been a very long time since I've done any sort of writing, and even longer since I've done anything with PonyFall. Even as I write this, I wonder if there is anyone left who really cares what I do with it now.

Well, work and a lack of motivation (among other things) have taken their toll, but I've decided to do something about it. It's no secret that the ending to PonyFall: Australia was rushed. Sure, fictional Doug was finding Equestrians at a very fast rate in the story anyway, but having F.A. and Discord suddenly show up and whisk everyone and everypony away to different worlds was a rather abrupt thing to do.

I've since come to regret that decision.

For me, part of what made PonyFall fun was the fact that it was somewhat based in reality. The places I took the characters to actually exist, most of fictional Doug's possessions are real-life possessions of my own. It gave me a more personal connection to the characters in the story, and I think it showed in the writing. World's Apart seemed like a fun idea at the time, and maybe it could still be, but putting everypony on different worlds kind of defeated the purpose of PonyFall in the first place: a look at how ponies would realistically react on Earth.

So I've come to a decision! Or rather, you will be making a decision for me. To those of you who enjoyed PonyFall and wished there was more to it, I offer you a choice:

A) I continue Worlds Apart, though it may involve a bit of a rewrite. I'm happy to continue the story, so long as there are people who still care about it.

B) I delete the final two chapters of PonyFall: Australia, change it's current status from 'complete' to 'incomplete', and start writing towards a more satisfactory ending, taking over all of the characters and completing the story in my own way, at my own pace. Worlds Apart will become an alternate-reality kind of story that I may end up finishing some day in the future, but the main priority will be to give PonyFall the ending it deserves.

I leave it up to you all! At this point I think we can agree that PonyFall has been dead for a while, but I think bringing it back to life just might spark my motivation to write again. Let me know what you think!

Love to all,
Slorgy

B sounds awesome, would love to see where you could take the story!

I've seen several stories where the author has, for one reason or another, included 'alternate' chapters or endings in their stories. Assuming the ending remains basically the same ( everypony gets transported to Dimension X in both chapter/endings but in one its unwilling and in the other its willingly) perhaps you could do that here, keeping the original endings available (this is the Collector in me, the one that buys six new widgets because five are different colors and the sixth has a different emblem than the other blue one ).

5335076 Either either. Whatever motivates you more...

...and fictional me gets more page time.

Hmmm, if I had more time, I think I should do something about Onward Valiant Crusaders too.

I personally would choose option B, but be sure you do what's best for yourself!

Option B for me please - no need for a new story, but a more fleshed out bit of the original would be awesome.

Based on the responses here and on my blog, it's unanimous.

I've got work to do.

B is what i would like, having said that i would probably enjoythe other option all the same
