Yeah, I know what I said, but before you hang me, hear me.

So, I like to write stuff just to hone my skills and make sure I'm not sloppy. Often I will write anything that comes to mind in small doses and incorporate what I know or have learned in an effort to imporve upon my original fiction but also to temper my patience and to try and shake the grip of procrastination I impose upon myself (I am weak).

Oh boy... this isn't an easy one.

We all know this story, we all adore this story, and we will remember this story however we like.
Not sure how I like to remember it myself. Perhaps one day I may revisit the story without the Friendship is Magic and Equestria Girls elements, but that is a long ways off.

So... anyway, as indicated by the title, I am officially marking the story as cancelled. Even though I think discontinued is far more accurate.

In the years since I've written this story, Nyx and the Sunset has continued to be enjoyed by many people across Fimfiction, much to my surprise.

The writing is below the quality standards of most big fics and is riddled with errors and unnecessary details that'd see the story tank if it wasn't a Fanfiction.

Four years ago, I would post the first chapter of Nyx and the Sunset.

At the time, the story featured artwork done by one VampLov3r still view-able at the end of the original first chapter of the story.

Not long after, Cerulean Voice would hit me up with a DM informing me of his commission for a new cover for Nyx and the Sunset which took me completely by surprise.

On and off again as I am, I rarely come on now.

What am I doing you three sole readers might ask? Well, I am going to school. Tafe to be exact, it's a form of higher learning in Australia that's not quite as grand as University but gets the job done. I'm studying to be a Library assistant. I'm often told that I fit best with that role. The work is so hard but the reward is well worth it in the end. I've been going for the past few Fridays.

Despite the removal of the dark tag for the sake of saving edits I've made to the stories description box, Nyx and the Sunset is still a dark fic. It is a fic that still falls in the Sad, Drama, Slice-of-Life and Dark categories. Even though the dark elements in the story probably won't be as strong as I think they will be.I, at the moment, feel the tag is still warranted.

Please, do not let the lack of a dark tag mislead you.

So, as the title suggestions, I have one more story in the works. But here's the thing... It's going to be my final fic before I move on.

In short, due to a change I've decided to implement into chapter 3's rewrites, chapters 4 no longer holds up, so I've elected to revoke its publication and in turn five and six. However, this will not be done until after chapter 3's rewrites have been edited, plenty of time until the the unpublishing occurs. I will leave an authors note in the rewrites when they are released stating for newer readers that there was a four five and six but they had to be removed due to conflicts with the

I'm starting. It'll be the first of a few that I will be redoing from scratch. The re-written version will clean up some logic issues.

Unfortunately, I cannot for the life of me come up with a good enough reason for Sunset to bring Nyx to her place and not inform anyone about her. So if you have idea's that can help me rationalize that so Sunset isn't a kidnapper then I'm all for it.

As you know, I have a bad habit of starting things and never getting around to finishing them.

For this, I deeply apologize. I can't promise they will be finished, but I am certain that in time I will get some of them done.

The Re-edit is up! If you didn't download the original version I apologies. I would much rather not put it up in a blog like I did with chapter one. Now, again, since I am not unpublishing the chapters to be worked on, there may be some things that won't make sense or work well until they've been re-edited. Either way, I hope you all enjoy the fruits of my year of procrastination.

If you spot any mistakes in the chapter, please PM me, you'd be a massive help. Thank you.

Nyx and the Sunset chapter 2 re-edits are finished and there are some minor changes, as well as some major changes.

I will be replacing the chapter with the revised version in about four hours time. If you wish to compare versions, I recommend downloading chapter two by itself, or copy and pasting it on a doc or office word file.

I've decided to continue working on Nyx and the Sunset, but only on a neutral route that brings in both light hearted themes, as well as dark moments. I will end up cutting some of the darker stuff from the final chapters but they will all largely remain the same. However, do not expect any new chapters for a while. As I announced the incompletion of the fic, I started two others and was hoping to get through them before I came up with my solution, I have my solution now, and so I will role

I came up with concepts!

Since the "completion" of Nyx and the Sunset, I've been thinking of ways to continue it, and I've come to the conclusion that it is inevitable. The story is going to spiral into bleak darkness.

So, I figured I would match this dark take by adding different themes to reflect this, concepts such as death, abandonment and fear would be the most common, but they boarder on mature, therefore breaking Pen's rules.

The title sums up this blog completely, I have elected to keep Nyx and the Sunset incomplete.

The upcoming Snowdrop-ish fic I am working on will be the last one shot I do for a long time, as I will be returning to work on Nyx and the Sunset, and Fallout: Equestria - A Song of Angels. I will also be working on other fics, only two others, one of them is an original My Little Pony fanfiction by yours truly, and the other based on the works of Tarbtarno.

Yeah! Thank you trailer for forcing yourself into my continuity!

So if nobody has seen the trailer yet here it is.

While I tweaked Nyx and the Sunset to include Friendship Games canon into it by the fifth chapter, Legend of the Everfree will not be joining its predecessors into the Nyx and the Sunset canon, not for personal reasons for once, I actually have to see Legends of the Everfree to be able to do anything about including it in the canon, and it has to give me ideas that I can use in the story. But since Nyx and the Sunset is set during the Mane Sevens last two years at Canterlot High, I may end up

So apparently, I'm terrible with multi story writing, and I'm also increasingly distracted. That's not good.

So in this blog I want to address what's happening with Nyx and the Sunset, and Nyx and the Shadow of Nightmare, I will be tagging Nyx and the Sunset as that story is probably the most relevant, I'll keep the blog short.

I know that you're thinking, "You promised you wouldn't make another NatS blog until chapter 02 rewrites, WHAAA?! "

I get it, I contradicted myself but MixMassBasher (my personal BattyGloom for Nyx and the Sunset) Pm'd me some of his criticisms and suggestions to help the story out, and thus far they have been. So I took some of his suggestions and added them to the first chapter, I even rewrote a full section. Here's the changelog:
