So, first I will plug the sequel, and then last but not least, I’ll give out thank yous.

SEQUEL

There is now a sequel to The Trouble With Unicorns, called Brother Against Sister, which can be found here. It will chronicle the Equestrian Civil War, which takes place after the Second Kingdom of Unicornia invades Ponyville.

Why am I making it a sequel rather than continuing to add chapters onto TTWU? Several reasons.

1. Though it is a sequel, Brother Against Sister can be read and understood without having read TTWU, since proper back story is given as needed. By doing a sequel which can also stand alone, I can draw in many more potential readers than just continuing it as part of this story.

2. Unlike TTWU, which was primarily a villain protagonist story told mostly through Prince Blueblood’s point of view, Brother Against Sister is told from the Cake Twins, Pound and Pumpkin’s point of view, with new characters introduced.

3. TTWU was primarily meant to tell the story of how good men turn evil and how evil men attain power, by using cartoon ponies as an allegory. We have followed Blueblood’s path from hero to villain in the course of these twenty chapters and eight years. He went from an accomplished academic and self-help author who defeated Discord to an evil, murderous king who commits massacres and is ready to plunge Equestria into war. Canterlot went from the posh capital city of Equestria to a warlike, apartheid state. As a story arc, the transformation is complete. Now, in Brother Against Sister, you will see the results.

THANK YOU

To SpaceCommie, who has pre-read the last three chapters and helped me make sure that they are up to quality standards.
To Luminary, for his, well, illuminating advice on the pacing in the first part of the story.
To Velkaden, who predicted nearly every plot twist and forced me to try and be more unpredictable
To Chrono Ryono, for his insightful and thought-provoking comments, and for letting me talk his ear off on Skype ;)
To Ms. Elizabot, who drew the stunning cover image for this story.
To everyone who left a comment on this story or on my many feedback request threads for this story.

To all the rest of you. The 53 who have favorited, 57 who have liked, and the 784 people who have given my story a glance, thank you.
To the over 150 of you who actually stuck around until the very end (as judging by my chapter view counts) thank you very much. For a story of this length, that’s amazing, and thanks for sticking around for the whole thing.

Even if you only marked this story as read later or just bookmarked it on your internet browser, thanks for that as well!

I hope you all will read Brother Against Sister, and hopefully I can get even more readers for that story than I have for this one!
