Author's Notes:

And yes I realize that posting this on April Fools might actually give the wrong message.

Two years.

Hey, I felt bad that some people wouldn't have closure regarding this story. So, in these notes, I'm going to tell you what all would have been should I decided to have finished this story, so here it is. This also kinda ensures I can't really finish it, so I don't end up pulling a Samurai Jack and finish it thirteen years later.

From where I left off, there was supposed to be some anime-ass plotline where 4 or so demons got summoned around the country and they'd go and stop it. In my mind, I would have had only one of them defeated, Bob I guess. The rest would have gotten themselves killed in some retarded way for the sake of comedy. Yeah, I'm starting to really see why I didn't continue this.

And Reginald was a completely. . . I don't even fucking know just pretend he doesn't exist.

Now, the whole self-insert garbage with Gogurt. What was supposed to happen was that he eventually trudged his way into the main castle, facing off against the rulers, Celestia and Luna, but then this is where my 'twist' occurred. Despite seeing pictures of Gogurt from Lee's phone, Luna doesn't seem to recognize him. The reason being that the transformation had progressed for faster than he had originally thought. In his mind, he was going through a slow change and still looked very human, but the reality is that his mind was so addled by the soul merge bullshit that he could not see what was actually in front of him. His delusion is broken after Luna tries to reason with him and he sees what he really is in the mirror: a gross mutation of scaly flesh and hair, vaguely lizard-like but no ounce of humanity left in his image. From here, his mind truly breaks and loses his former self, sprouting scales and limbs all 'pus of man' from dark souls like. Not really a fight, just a mindless thing bashing a wall until it loses consciousness. And when THAT happened, the book finally returns.

The book was supposed to make its appearance here, now that the host is broken. Here is where the lovecraftian shit was supposed to really hit the fan. The castle would have become a new R'lyeh, and the corruption suddenly spreads across the county, most of the inhabitants would have been absorbed into the new reality, becoming twisted monstrosities as well. This is where Lee and the Mane Six would have come in.

Here is where I was really nebulous on how it would go. They would have showed up, some shitty joke about tentacles, and then they would reach the center of the corruption at the castle and find the second 'twist'. The lovecraft stuff that occurred was never the result of Cthulu or some elder god. In fact, they didn't exist whatsoever, but the being that resided in the cultist's book took a liking to the mythos and used that as a basis. The being itself didn't have much of an identity, just some warped thing between creation that yearned to exist.

I think how they would have resolved it would have been to find the host of the nightmare, Gogurt. Lee recognizes him despite, the mutations, and tries to bring him back. Using the stupid ass friendship lessons he snaps gogurt out of it, but not because of the merit of the lessons, but because Gogurt's consciousness suddenly chuckles at the thought of his friend doing something so 'gay'. From here, Lee manages to draw the cognizance out of the twisted form and the two souls separate: souls being Gogurt and Fenrir. The nightmare eventually breaks and some sappy shit later about the being struggling to exist. Again, no fight, just an ugly struggle. The being, as a last ditch effort to do something tries to rip the binding between realities and suck them all into the spaces where he used to languish. What ends up happening, however, is a pathetic sliver into the next world, more of a door rather than a sinkhole. With no host to draw from, it becomes weak once more, and it fades away, with some parting words.

It's now that Lee realizes Gogurt is still in a terrible condition, mind and body thoroughly damaged. Fenrir, in the cast off mutation from before, reveals that without the book linking the two together anymore, their very existences would continue to be rejected by this reality as its not theirs. The only way to heal his friend would be to leave this world and go back to his own reality. They look to the portal made by the being's effort at revenge, and they learn from Celestia and Luna that this would be the only way back for an unknown period of time, and nonetheless, Gogurt had to go now otherwise his body or mind would expire. Unable to let him go back alone, despite Gogurt's blessing to have him stay with his new friends, Lee makes the bittersweet decision to go back with him. The Mane Six lament at the laughably short farewell they have to give, but Gogurt simply says, "It is what it is, I'm sorry to say."

The two go through the portal looking back as it closes, and Lee gives a final middle finger as it closes, a warm smile on his face as he does.

Then there would have been some epilogue chapter on both sides of the world, but ideally I would have ended it at the epilogues and have no continuation. Twilight and Lee would write a final lesson, and the story would close.

Now, here was the whole point of the entire story and what happened with it.

This story was a parody, satire, or what have you, of the Human in Equestria genre. A parody of the three major tropes within it, actually. Those stories typically have a human protagonist who ends up in Ponyville and somehow befriends the Mane Six despite having no real reason to spend five minutes with him. I thought it would be funny if someone really volatile showed up, yet still managed to make friends with the main characters in a 'somewhat' reasonable way. By all means, they should hate him or at least have no desire to talk to him, just like all those stories I'm parodying. Then there was Gogurt who covered the two other major tropes. First being self-inserts, the other that the human somehow gets bullshit magical powers and becomes essentially a god, and fights the main cast for some misunderstanding or the other.

If Lee was the parody of writers yearning to have actual friends, Gogurt was a parody of writers wanting to be edgy red and black Sonic OCs. The parody comes where he's actually not all that powerful, he just kinda lucks his way through it, and also through the fact that he doesn't end up looking like some cool armored dude with a +666 red and black katana with an anime girlfriend, the joke is that he is transforming into a gross lizard creature whilst losing his mind. Think of that one book where the father turns into a cockroach. (I believe it is Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka) Gogurt was also supposed to be a somewhat realist approach about what would happen if someone got dumped into that world: complete and utter terror.

What pulled both of these narratives together was supposed to be the utter ridiculousness of it all. I mean, if you've read this far then you know exactly what I mean. I was trying to contrast grim stories with a lighthearted silly one, with both sides bleeding into another.

And then the plot ran away from me. It was never supposed to be this long. This is like when cartoons tell you not to carry on a lie because it gets way out of hand. It was supposed to be significantly shorter, a story for shits and giggles. I also couldn't force myself to let it be shitty or stupid and always found a way to make stuff convoluted, which actually made it worse. Then, what can I say, people actually liked it! So I kept going... and going... and that was ultimately my downfall. In the end, you are the writer, do not let your ideas run away from you, like it did with me.

You know, I don't regret it. I had a lot of fun writing this. I met some friends, learned some things, and I moved on, simple as that. You know I actually logged on to delete the entire story, but on a whim, I wrote this, for the people who care to have a conclusion.

Thank you so much for reading and enjoying, and I hope this answered all of your questions. If you do have anymore questions, feel free to shoot me a message. And if you wanna see more of me specifically, I've got a tumblr. I'll post it in the comments if you wanna see it.

Thank you, and God bless.
