"Finding it, though... That's not the hard part. It's letting go."
The simple brilliance of a rainbow blazing in the sky intertwined the destinies of six little ponies who would go on to do great things together.
But perhaps the rainbow never existed.
What then?
Without the Rainboom, what would become of the six?

This. Story. Is. Bootiful. Your descriptions are incredible, great wording, great grammar, and overall just amazing with the plot of the story, however sad it is. Take a thumb and a like... to the face!
Hmm... Illness, eh? Out of the what-if-the-sonicrainboom-never-happenned verse, this is one of the more original versions. There's actually a reaseon why Rainbow can't perform it. Nice. I also have to mention how I just enjoyed this chapter by every sentence! Your style is so 'flowey' and beautiful...
This... Wow. You're an amazing writer, this is just so masterfully sad, and it really does its best and succeeds to convey the emotions in this story. Great work!

Masterful? Hardly. There are many more sad stories on this site that have been far better written, ones that could actually make the reader truly feel loss and pain without trying too hard or injecting so much edge into the writing.
If I must be honest with you, I really feel like I have lost my touch (what little was there to begin with, anyway). Fluttershy's chapter was actually written only a couple of days after Rainbow's way back in May, but I left it sitting in my hard drive until now because I had been unsatisfied with the whole thing. I had meant to completely redo it in a way that I would personally find the concept of a suicidal filly Fluttershy to be a bit more tastefully done, but I found myself utterly incapable of writing past a couple hundred words and so decided to just post what I had written originally. I have even started writing the next chapter with similarly little success. It doesn't help that other recent stories I've posted could also use improvement in writing quality, word length, and update frequency.
I should apologize to you and the rest of my readers, really. None of you deserve to be led on like this. You expect a story out of me, but I just can't deliver. I'm simply not cut out for writing. I have all these ideas in my head, but I find it so difficult to actually make proper stories out of them. In any case, I'd like to say that this particular story will be finished eventually, but it will take a while. I'm sorry.
Although, I'm truly glad that you somehow managed to enjoy my drivel. Thanks for that.

if I may.....I think the story is very good myself. I have been unable to even write chapters for nearly 7 years now. I personally do not expect a story, I hope. I've read stories that I had long forgotten about only to find them updated and once more I'm captured. I ask you take your time. If you want to put out a chapter that you feel less than what you are expecting then put in like a note to tell us to check back that you might edit it.

I appreciate your patience and understanding. Looking back, I feel that I had overreacted somewhat and that that comment was, quite frankly, uncalled for. I don't even know why I wrote it in the first place; I guess I was just feeling a bit down and/or frustrated. While there is still some truth to what I said (namely, there being many more stories on this site that are better than mine and that I'm still not quite cut out for writing), maybe I shouldn't sell myself short so much. I've been reading fanfiction long enough to know that there is a whole lot of garbage with only a few gems that truly stand out, so I suppose it is foolish of me to think that my stories belong with the garbage and should not be considered among those gems. At the very least, my stories do demonstrate a decent level of mastery of the English language, as opposed to the countless nigh-incomprehensible, driveling messes that can pass for stories out there. Seeing the responses to my more well-received stories... maybe I am doing something right after all.
Furthermore, I do already take my time with my stories—more than I should, really. As for posting a chapter with plans to edit it in the future: thanks for the suggestion, but no. It's a matter of personal pride (read: stubbornness), but I do not like the idea of posting something that did not reach my utmost satisfaction (or at least close to it). First impressions are always the most important, so when I post a chapter I want the reader to have the best, most complete experience reading that chapter—I wouldn't want to dampen that experience by saying that the chapter is imperfect or incomplete and would have to be edited in the future. The most I will ever do with editing a chapter post-publication is to fix spelling/grammatical errors and (sometimes) to rewrite a couple of sentences to improve the flow of a passage, but beyond that I will not do anything more.
In any case, thanks for your comment. It's good to see that there are people who actually appreciate my work.
I really like where this story is going. Hope it’s continued some day and that your doing okay
