I am sorry to say I have failed at continuing this story. I have tried time and time again to come up with ideas and have just failed. I have failed hard. As a result I am sad to say I will no longer be updating this fic.
However should anyone want to take over all they need to do is contact me and I will give them permission and a notify all the people who follow this of the new author.
Many of you are probably wondering at the words used here. "I failed." Why am I using this term. I failed because I came into this story without a plan beyond what you already see. I failed because I did not creat a plot that even included episode one of the story. I failed because my plot really did not go past the battle with the kyuubi. I am sorry, but I failed. I did not approach this story with anything more than an idea, and once the idea was put to paper it fled from my mind. I hope you can forgive me for taking this long to inform you about this fact.
i don't think you failed it was masterfully done even if you didn't go beyond the current story if another author should take over they could bring new ideas to the story you had already set i think you did very well and should be praised for it and i cant wait for more when the next person takes over give yourself a pat on your back and sing you did good
While is a shame that you have given up on this story, I do hope that maybe either you or the next author will continue it, that and you update with a "chapter" that will link us to the sucesor story, but if I am frank on the matter, I really hope you could go continuing the story and the next chapte would be a timeskip to Episode 1, any other plothole would have been explained there or in future chapters when brought back into light depending the situation, I was really looking for the Zecora chapter and how different would have been their reactions specially with Twilight and Naruto flying tackle Zecora into a hugh with Twilight screaming happly "Mrs. Zecora!" and Naruto "MOTHER!", leaving the other girls surprised that unexpected twist
I do really hope you regain the will to keep writing this great story and post a chapter of it soon, however it seems that I should give you a Thanks for bringing us such a great story, even if it didn't lasted long and died very young, thanks for the memories I guess, this story was on my top 5 of my D.E.A.R. (Droop Everything And Read) both in Fanfiction.net and FIMFiction.net

This was something I myself saw happening but I went about it the wrong way. I have honestly considered doing a full rewrite but as time when on I chose to go further. I may put out a new story that is similar to this but there will be some big differences.
One, they will be humans on all sides. The ponies and other species shall be humanized but there will be defining traits.
Two, probably gonna ignore the kyuubi for a good long time. I keep going back to the last chapter and thinking, I have made mary and gary stu.
Three, I need to come up with a story line either before hand or have Naruto much older when he meets Twilight. Though I have an idea where instead of moving to Canterlot he instead visits it with his mother. I feel this will help me stretch it out much further as periods of months pass between each visit.
You see, I already have ideas on how to redo the story into something better. I just seriously lost my zeal for writing this one. While I love the responces I get from everyone a fanbase does not encourage me to write. I have to like what I am writing. It is why Mixed Drinks has so many chapters is because I like writing it.
I will attempt this again in the future but it will be different. All you will be able to trace back to this was that it was inspired by Naruto Rhymes. Hopefully you all like that version as well but I have a lot of work to do before hand.
I have to agree with what was already said.
Even if you haven't written this story further than it is at the moment, you DO have created something that's a work of art. Not many people can claim that, and compared to some others... myself included... you're brave to have posted this story here even without a finished draft.
For that I envy and admire you.
Recently I have looked over my own works again, and I have to say compared to your work... mine are best called amateurs dreams, full of plot holes with barely any substance behind it.
While it is a shame that you probably won't continue this story it is still good that you posted your idea.
Ideas give us imagination, imagination births creation, and creation brings us closer together.
I say you have done one of the most selfless things possible, you have created a solid foundation on which others can build upon, to expand, to create.
If whoever takes this responsibility up does make it work... then you can be proud... proud because it wouldn't have been possible without your foundation.
For that is all ideas are about. Without ideas and others to build upon, we wouldn't have this wide an array of stories to read. So even if it isn't finished, even if it doesn't go further, you set the stone rolling, and once you've set a stone rolling it'll create something, give birth to something. Wether if it's good or bad remains to be seen, however if we knew the outcome it wouldn't even be half as fun don't you agree?
Hey, it's all good. Sometimes, you think you have something going and, when it hits something, you got nothing. But what you did write so far is a rather good story, that'll act as a starting point for the next person to continue.
It was good. I can't wait for your next story.
It's a shame you decided to stop: I enjoyed the earlier chapters immensely.
Also, and if this sounds rude I apologize, you should change the status from "Incomplete" to "Cancelled".
well...that sux...
Here's hoping that someone with the motivation wishes to further your wonderful introduction.

Well, regardless of this story getting a new author, I am expecting your next story based on your original Naruto Ryhimes, and thanks for linking this to the next author, I just hope this original version doesn't get delated by FIMFiction though
