Author's Notes:

A Q&A special thing because woo fifty chapters!

Cloud stopped and looked around himself, confused. Where am I?

"You're in the land of Not A Projectile Weapon!" I answered loudly, making Cloud jump in surprise.

"What the buck?!" He exclaimed, spotting me. "Did you just read my mind?!" I nodded.

"Yes."

"Oh. Okay. So... Where did you say I am?"

"The land of Not A Projectile Weapon. Also known as Non-Canon."

"Very clever."

"Thank you."

"Wait, if you're a bug thing, why am I not freaking out?"

"That's a good question. You see; while it would be fun to have you freak out, your reaction would spoil how you're going to react when you see my kind in a later chapter."

"'A later chapter'?"

"Yes. You are a character that I made in a fan fiction. This is bonus chapter." Cloud immediately understood.

"Fair enough, multiverse and all that. Why did I understand that so quickly?"

"Because I wrote that you did."

"When?"

"Right now, see?" Cloud looked to my right and saw my left forehoof had been transformed into a fleshy, talon-like thing and was pressing different buttons on a long, plastic thing covered in letters. In front of the long thing was some sort of window, showing words being formed as I pressed buttons.

"How are you making the words immediately as they're relevant?"

"I'm not typing what's happening, things happen as I type."

"What happens if you stop making words?"

"Everything will revert back to how it was for you and you won't remember any of this."

"Wait a minute, if you're typing what's happening, then I'm not under any control of what I'm saying and doing?!"

"Pretty much."

"But wait! If I'm not in control, how am I asking these things?! HA! YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT ONE, CAN YOU?!"

"You're asking because I wrote that you did."

"O-OH REALTA! I'M NOT IN ANY CONTROL OF ANYTHING! AGH! AGH!" Cloud ran around, screaming his lungs out.

A few hours later...

"Are you better now?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. BUT ONLY BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING ME FINE! AGH! AGH!"

A few more hours later...

Cloud munched on his Snickers happily, wagging his tail.

"Better?"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Good. I even made a reference out of it."

"Why did you make me freak out in the first place?"

"Padding."

"Okay."

"Anyway, let's move onto what this bonus chapter is about: This is the fiftieth chapter in my story 'The Quest For The Past', the longest and most successful story I've ever written."

"Hang on, it says on your user page that this is your only story," pointed out Vesper, who was lying on the ground using a laptop.

"Vesper?" Asked Cloud. "What are you doing here?"

"Non-canon plot convenience."

"Oh, okay."

"As I was saying, what do you mean by longest and most successful? This is the only one here."

"Well you see, my dear sociopath, a kinda long time ago, when I was a very, very stupid thirteen year old and was relatively new to the fandom, I wrote my first story. It was shit. So incredibly shit. Clichés and teen angst dripping from the the brim of liquid shit. I soon deleted it. A few months later, I tried again. It was better, but still shit. Then that was deleted as well. A few more months later I tried yet again, and managed to make a story that was at least passable to the me of now. Unfortunately, I was stupid and wasted the potential that the story contained. There were a few more, but, while they did get better each time, they were all still shit.

"But then! During about eight months of nothing, I suddenly became not stupid! And then the next thing I wrote wasn't enormously terrible. Still bad enough for me to regret it and delete it, but still a thing. Then I suddenly knew a decent bit about grammar and other things that a fifteen year old that only speaks English should know by default. I knew that I had to do something good with this sudden burst of knowledge, so I started planning 'The Quest For The Forgotten', which was then changed to 'The Quest For The Repressed', which was finally changed to 'The Quest For The Past'.

"Originally, it was going to be about a stallion named Cloud Conundrum, who was supposed to be a very serious character, waking up in a field with none of his memories and going into the main town of the show I was writing about and solving all of the problems in simple and blunt ways. About halfway through I decided, 'meh, fuck it', and rewrote the entire thing into comedy and changed his name to Cloud Calculation. It was a complete success and so I stuck to having fun with writing.

"And now, just before turning sixteen, I've reached chapter fifty, I'm extremely happy with where it's going and things are just awesome in general."

"Jeez, you didn't have to tell us your bucking life story."

"Eat a dick, Vesper."

"I would, but you didn't bring my sex slave in here with me."

"Anyway, let's move onto the questions."

"Okay."

"Question one:"

BronzeUnicorn - What do you have planned now?

"Well, I don't really stick to plans for this story in general. I write organically, where I let my mind do whatever the fuck it wants and-"

"You mean whatever the buck?" Interrupted Cloud.

"No. Shut up." I cleared my throat. "I write organically, where I let my mind do whatever the fuck it wants and write down whatever happens that isn't terrible. What do I do with the terrible ideas? I stick them into a story that I'll probably never release that you can find in this link."

"What the buck are you talking about?"

"They know what I mean. Anyway, I don't normally stick to my general plans for the story, but I don't really want to spoil anything. What I can tell you is when some awesome ideas I have are supposed to happen:

- The series two finale.
- The series three finale.
- The awkward gap inbetween series three and Equestria Girls.
- Equestria Girls.
- The series four finale.
- Equestria Girls Two.
- The final chapter.

"But keep in mind that I abandon ideas all the time. Like the chapter that this is interrupting which was originally supposed to be about Vesper trying to get fucked by Dragons. Then I decided to do something else."

"Wait, what?" Asked Vesper.

"Next question!"

BronzeUnicorn - Anything big planned?

"The same guy again?" Asked Cloud.

"Yeah."

"Why is he asking for two?"

"Because he's awesome, shut up. Anyway, it's actually kinda funny you asked that because this is just before a big and awesome story ark. As in; immediately after this, (hopefully) awesome story ark."

"Well that's good."

"Yeah."

"What's the next question?"

"That's it."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"The plan for this kinda failed then?"

"Pretty much, but I'd already promised a Q&A chapter and I'd already spent about ten hours making the picture for it, so I did this thing."

"What picture?"

"This one:"

"That took ten hours?!"

"It may have been twelve."

"Why?!"

"Vectors take a while."

"No, I mean why did you do it if it was taking that long?"

"Because I was proud of myself. I'd finally made something that didn't make me die inside. In fact, I'd made something that I really liked and was proud of. I made that picture, and all of the others, because I loved the fact that people actually took the time to read it and didn't immediately spew projectile vomit onto their monitors. In fact, people liked it!"

"That's pretty cool."

"I know, right? Anyway, I need to wrap this up."

"Then get a blanket."

"Amazing."

"Thanks."

"Anyway:"
