Some words from the author

Ok, first and foremost, I have to apologize for this ending, because I’m sure there are people who won't like it. To be honest, I’m not sure of what I was thinking. I wanted to do one of those weird, kinda symbolic endings, like in Space Runaway Ideon or 2001 A Space Odyssey; but I guess I failed. I also wanted to give Derpy a small role in the story, something bigger than just a cameo. And I had to make up with poor Earth, after being hated by the main character trough all the story, and after had turned her into a world-eating abomination, don’t you think?

I also apologize for... well, for having finished, although maybe some of you saw it coming when I uploaded the new cover, which is an amalgam of all the previous covers. I know some of you would have liked the story to continue, and I also wanted to write more, but honestly, I think I’m at my limit. I can’t think in new plots (at least, I can’t think in plots I consider good enough. Believe it or not, I’m very picky with myself when it comes to writing), and more important, I can’t think of new shapes for Francisco. I’m also starting to suffer from Writer’s Block, so I’ve decided to end the story right now.

Just like Francisco said, I thought that having a main character that could transform into practically anything would be awesome for writing, and it certainly was, but I have to think constantly in new bodies and in situations for him to use those bodies, and I’m afraid that my imagination is reaching its limit. Also, I think I’ve put a bit too much of myself in this story. Maybe that is the main reason why I’m feeling a bit stressed.

I have to confess, this was actually an experiment rather than an actual fanfic. I took some ideas I had, I put them together and I threw them in Equestria, hoping that they would become something readable, and I’m truly surprised by the good reception it had. When I uploaded the first three chapters I thought that it would end there, but people started commenting and asking for more, so my imagination got fuel and I wrote more. Now we have 17 chapters, plus two Artwork pages and these words. I never thought it would grow to this size!

Give a round of applauses to yourselves, people. You made this fanfic possible.

Again, I’m really sorry if you didn’t like the ending.

So, what happens now? I would like to write a new fanfic, maybe centering on other characters, and maybe more light-hearted, maybe focused on comedy and aventure, and with a better thought plot. But I can’t promise anything.

I hope to return soon with new stories. Until then, take care everypony, and thank you for all the support.
