Broken Blossom
Chapter 31: Author's Note
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWell, we've come to the end of the Killer Rarity trilogy and I have to say, I'm as depressed as you all are. I've been working on these stories for almost a year and to have it end at all... well, I feel like a piece of me has just died (no pun intended)
Now, I know that some of you know this but for the rest of you I'm going to say it. I'm not done writing this universe. I'm going to be releasing a compilation of short stories that involve the ponies around the series who we didn't get to see much from such as the rest of the Mane Six, Spike, Scootaloo, the Ponyville ponies, as well as a lot of family members of Rarity's victims. I hope you like it all as much as I do!
The other thing for that is that it's going to be open to anybody. You have a story that you think can come out of it? You really want to write how Spike would view this? Well, then write it and I'll publish it! There are going to be some quality prerequisites, but if you want to write for the Killer Rarityverse then please do and I'll publish it in the upcoming anthology titled 'Ripples' (tentatively titled, that is. If you can think of a better one I'm all ears).
So yeah, the main storyline for the Killer Rarityverse is over unless I really think of a good story for Comet. I have also had somebody suggest that I make a fic about The Canterlot Killer mentioned in the original so that might be something I look into.
Anyway, that's where this universe is headed. Thank you all so much for reading, commenting, and giving constructive criticism! You guys are all the best!
Non-Canon Alternate Ending?
Now, a few things before I go into this one.
1. I would put this in a blog post, but they don't get the same kind of exposure that chapters do. Plus, people who hate the story but follow me can see it.
2. THE ENDING THAT I WENT WITH IS THE ENDING THAT I PICK AND IT IS CANON!!! I AM COMPLETELY HAPPY WITH THAT ENDING!!! Seriously, I don't want you to take this as a 'guess he regrets the ending he picked' post because it isn't.
So, basically I had a one-shot chapter that I was going to post here that was an alternate ending where Blossom didn't end up dying and she got therapy. However, it grew into its own storyline in my head and I wasn't sure I could resist. It would be in the same vein as 'Breaking of a Non-Brony' or 'TD's Little Rarity', just an alternate look into what could have been and I'll let you guys decide which is better if you want me to do it. No matter which, I will still stick by the ending I gave you first as the best one. Do know that. However, if you want to see what would have happened had Blossom gone down a different path, it's very doable.
If not, I'll scrap it for Blossom but still recycle the idea into another fic just so you guys aren't deprived of one of my better ideas.
One one hoof, it might lessen the impact of the original story.
On the other, I have a truly great idea for it.
What do you think? Should I show you what was behind door #2?
New Stories!
