I wasn't gonna write this tonight. I just got off work, I've finally gotten comfy in my chair, and all I wanna do is sleep.

Then I log on here to find that Gigamunch has become my 300th follower.

You'll forgive me if I get a little mushy here.

Hello and welcome to the first of what I hope to be many installments of 'Failed Fics,' a look into the numerous fanfics I've started but ultimately had to kill. Their stories vary, but the themes are the same; they just didn't belong in this world. I've been wanting to do this series for a while, and now that I have nearly 300 followers, why not go ahead, right?

There was a period of about an hour after I read that rejection letter from EqD where I almost quit writing.

Today is the kind of day that reminds me why I write. I love you guys and gals. Every blasted one of you (except that guy who copy-pasted 'Dear Applebloom' and posted it as his own story.)

Well, it's done. As of fifteen minutes ago, 'Dear Sweetie Belle' has been submitted to Equestria Daily. Please keep your fingers crossed.

It seems that folks are just not going to stop hounding me , until I buckle down and finish 'Dear Scootaloo.' I wonder... when it's done, will you all be done with me?

-The title was of course originally 'Dear Rarity,' but that title didn't mesh up to the finished project. This isn't the first time that's happened. 'Lost in the Night' was originally 'Forbidden.'

-The opening lines directly mirror the opening lines of 'Dear Sweetie Belle.'

Festive greetings one and all. As I sit here working on 'Dear Rarity' it occurs to me that you, my readers, deserve something special in this holiday season. Lucky for you, I made a cool little discovery today. I was digging through one of my notebooks looking for the old 'Dear Sweetie Belle' notes and stumbled across the notes for one of my fics I never wrote; 'Dearly Beloved.'
