Hey everypony thanks for reading my story, I'm glad it turned out so well. It was a lot of fun to write, even with all of the sleep it deprived me of (staying up writing that is). Just as fun was talking with all of you about it and other random things that came up. For my first fic, this turned out pretty well and I'm glad so many of you liked it.

It was a pleasure writing and I'm so happy that so many of you turned out to read every chapter, even if you didn't all talk to me about it afterwards. It's weird having it done though, like a big empty spot inside of me. I have lots of other things I really wanna write, but this was my life for nearly three months and I will miss it. Glad it was passed on to such worthy bronies though.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the beginning of chapter 34 where Spike actually dies, I had Pinkie roasting marshmallows over him. I had completely forgotten about the whole Rarity= marshmallow thing. This was pointed out to me by NowImTaken and I just wanna give her credit for seeing stuff in my writing that even I didn't realize. You go girl! :D

I wanna thank my first real reader, Timefather64. He helped entertain me with random conversations throughout the whole process and he inspired several things in the story such as the song that Twilight's head sings after Applejack knocked it off. He also kept me entertained with his great stories (go read them, they're a little rough at times, but he's been editing his socks off lately).

Next, my editor Saph34. I only know him on fanfiction but he seems pretty cool. He didn't start editing until chapter thirty or so, but he offered not long after he started reading (somewhere around chapter ten I think) but idiot that I was I wanted to do it on my own. All mistakes are thus my fault, unless he was mentioned in the AN as having edited in which case the mistakes are his fault.

TheSpectacularVenom (Dalek on fimfiction) played a similar role in everything that Timefather did except I haven't gotten to talk to Venom lately. He's pretty cool though and he's had a lot of really cool story ideas lately. As I recall, he had wanted Pinkie to break a leg somewhere around Fluttershy's party… I was more than happy to oblige…. Even though Pinkie got really mad at the both of us.

Then my regular contributors on fimfiction.

ChainsawBrony, love your pic btw

Midnight Stalker, this person seems pretty cool too. They got the new name while talking to me at one point, something about finding me on fanfiction after some midnight stalking.

Lightenupmyday, neither of your predicted endings happened so you can't stab me with a rusty spoon. HA!

Badassgrunt, idk what happened to this dude, was there for a while just outta nowhere, then left just as quick.

Path_of_cloud, left for a while but came back in the end :)

RotaryJoe ….. crap! I'm outta stuff to say….. ummmmmmm, lotsa fun talkin to you in the comments. :D

Thank you all so much for reading and thank you all of you who weren't mentioned here. You aren't forgotten, you just didn't talk to me enough during the story (probably a good thing as far as you're concerned.) It was a pleasure being able to write for you guys and I hope you stay on to read my future works.

Those of you who submitted ponysonas for the poison scene, I apologize. I had wanted to put up a little thing with pictures of all the OC's but alas, I cannot draw ponies well enough to do that... yet. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my pictures so I refuse to submit any that are less than perfect. That being said if any of you wanna send me a pic of your pony I can add it on to this chapter and label it as yours and stuff so everypony can see. Or if anypony wants to go through and make one for each of the OC's (I have a complete list of their looks, just pm me if you wanna do this.)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I plan on writing what is, more or less, a sequel to this. It's an idea that came to me early on in the story when I was talking to somepony. It was either Venom or Timefather, can't remember which. Anyways, it's a PiE fic (Ponies in Earth). You get to see more of me and Pinkie, so keep an eye out for it. It's titled "Out of the Darkness" and I will write the first chapter sometime within the next week, hopefully. Also, it will have a sort of double. It's going to be as dark as I can make it, so the double will be happier, more random than anything but I will try and keep my darkness away from it. The double will also be a PiE fic. They'll be like Pinkie and Pinkamena in chapter 35, one's bigger and incredibly more eveil, while the small one is happy and nicer to everypony. (The double already has four chapters ready *squee* I started it while I was out for most of the month.)

Krushnazag out, PEACE!
