Chapter 51: Final Update

Previous Chapter

(I apologize for any spelling errors that may occur. I made this chapter on my phone, and there are bound to be a few errors.)

Greetings. I am Vultarian01.

Not exactly the Chapter 51 you were hoping for, was it? And given the reason why I'm writing this story, you'll see why. How you'll take it I'm not sure. And as for Chapter 51 itself, I'm afraid what you want may not come to pass; at least on this story.

I want you, my readers, to listen to what I have to say. And it regards CCPW all together. You okay? Good. Well, it's been quite a while since I have updated CCPW, obviously, and I have given you the reasons as to why I wanted to take this "hiatus" in the ending author's note of chapter 50. And, for the sake of repetition, it's because I wanted to edit and improve the 50 chapters I've written and make them better. But it's a little more complicated than that. The truth is, I haven't been satisfied by the way my story has been written.

Which is not to say that I hate my story. I love my story. Why wouldn't I if I were to even begin to tell you all right now what I wanted to do with my story for a while.

I want to rewrite CCPW.

I will no longer be working on "CCPW", and instead I will be working on Canterlot "Carnage Pro Wrestling". You ask if these are basically the same stories? Well, kind of. Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling is a separate story that I started up today (5/14/16) with one chapter already having been posted. But, I suppose you'll want a reason as to why I'm doing this, and that's both understandable and expected.

When I started writing CCPW, I was just doing it purely just to do something with an idea if what I had in my head. And it came from my interest in pro wrestling, MLP:FIM, and as well as my main inspiration for actually wanting to try my hand at Fanfiction: The Equestrian Wrestling Federation (EWF). I thought I could make something good, and entertaining. I wasn't taking critical look at my writing, not did I really care. I just did what I wanted to do, MD for the most part of the first 8 chapters of CCPW, I did. And I loved it. If it weren't for taking the risk and making my own account, I wouldn't have been able to meet a few very good friends that I still talk to today. I wouldn't have been able to read the reviews that have, and still, enjoy my material. I wouldn't have been able to experience the joy I get from knowing that you love my work, and myself for being creative. It had been a decision that I still don't regret, and ever will regret.

But, as I went on, I started feeling my perfectionist tendencies come up more and more. I know most of my reviews praise CCPW, and I also accepted the criticisms that a few have given me. But, they also bugged me. I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful for any constructive criticism or honesty. I, just like anyone, need it for me to keep improving myself. But, even knowing this, my confidence started weakening more and more. And I started noticing some problems with my story. Some I could ignore, but others that were glaring to the non-casual viewer. Things such as grammar, continuity errors, and especially the way I wrote my story. I always had a hang up about me using the sane sentences to describe the same situation over and over. I've even been looking up more words to use, but I'm not good at using them in a way to make the sentences appear natural.

But even though chapters 1-23 had their problems, they were pretty decent. That was until the "Sunset Shimmer Arc" as some have called it, began. I wasn't doing anything too serious in the drama department until Sunset Shimmer's introduction, but I was confident I could do it. And, for the remaining chapters, it appeared that I was doing well according to almost everyone, but I still felt uneasy. And it wasn't till I discussed this with a few people that I noticed how flawed my story was. And it mostly had go do with how extreme and undiversed I made most of the characters from Chapter 24 on. I know some of you still like it, but alot of the things I wrote still turned me off. Like how hostile and unlikeable I made everyone, how stupid I made some of them, how uninspiredly I used sine of the characters, but mostly how complicated I made everything involving it. This caused me to rewrite a few things in past chapters to make future ones work, and it was all one big mess to me. Some of my reviews tell me they understand what I was trying to do, at least, but it still bugged me so much; no matter how much I debated with myself. And then it started to feel more like a chore to me. Heck, I had to FORCE myself to write Chapters 47-50 because I know how much you guys loved my story, even when you acknowledge the bad stuff. And I don't like that because I still wanted to enjoy writing CCPW too, but now I wouldn't let myself. My mind would keep reminding me about all its flaws till I just started daydreaming like how I do with school work sometimes, and that's a bad sign. Especially when you got other things in life you have to do. One time, one of my followers suggested that I rewrite, and I didn't like the idea at all because I've worked so much on what I had now. So, I thought I would put this story on this site on "hiatus" till I could edit and improve them over on DA. And when I did the first six chapters, I was enjoying it, and I thought it was working.

But thinking ahead is a bitch when it comes to editing an already written story, and I realized that I would have to edit ALOT of it to make it good. And, as I went on, I was getting idea after idea in how I could make my story better, and I still am, and was having fun with it, but since my story had already been written, it was hard to apply them without drastically changing the story all together. I've been so torn about my story, that I was actually GLAD when I took my vacation in AZ, away from the worries about CCPW. In short, I've been writing for you guys because it makes you happy. I haven't been happy. So, I proposed to a few people on a forum I made about "rewriting CCPW".

And before I go any further, I would like to point out what I mean by rewriting. If you go to Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling nd read chapter one, you'll notice that even if it had been edited and improved, it's essentially the same first chapter as the one in CCPW. It's not going to be a conete and total rewrite. It's going to look pretty similar, if not copy pasted often (with some editing), to CCPW. At least for chapters 1-17. After that, the changes will be more drastic. But still, it'll have the linear pllt it has had before. I want to apply the ideas I have had for some characters that I feel haven't been written to their fullest potential tial such as Spike, Lyra, and Bon Bon. As well as other more plot-heavy ideas. Now, even though I didn't like the way I wrote the Sunset Shimmer Arc, doesn't mean I'll never try to make drama. I just won't go making Fluttershy eat pasta off the floor, and make everyone want Sunset to be straight up lynched. You get me?

I've been contemplating this for months, bit I didn't want to do it because I didn't want you, my readers, to be upset with me. But at some point I have to realize that I started doing this because I loved doing it, and that I have to be selfish sometimes. I need to think of myself, too. And even typing that makes me feel horrible. So, know that I'm not just acting in what my criticisms are; I've been having trouble with this alot. And, I just feel that this is the best thing for me to do. I also have been asked by one if my followers if I would delete the original CCPW. And I won't. At least not yet. I know I've had my criticisms about it, and still can't go back to it, but I did write a whole 2 years worth of material, and I'm still pretty proud of the good stuff at least. Maybe after Canterlot Carnage Pro Wrestling gets the same amount of traction, I'll delete it. Or not. I don't know.

Still, I can't just keep writing CCPW. I can't keep forcing myself to do it. I want a frsh startcif sorts. And I know you all love my story, but I know I can make it even better. So, I'm going to do this. And this will more than likely be my last chapter. I would've at least put a few more chapters in here to wrap up the story quickly, but... well, you know. And there's not even a guarantee I'll keep posting chapters to my new story till it's conclusion. I may even end up quitting out if boredom after another 50 chapters, who knows? But I know I would eventually quit if I had to keep writing on CCPW.

You have no idea how sorry I am that I'm doing this. I just hope that you'll all understand why I'm doing this. Thank you for your reviews, your praise, your constructive criticisms, and your wanting more. I really appreciate it. But, I think you'll also enjoy what I have in store for you in my new story. But, until then, Arevoir.
