And that was PONIES!!!
I have finished some comics by now and I know a couple of things. First, Calvin & Hobbes ending keeps being my favorite ending. Second, Dover's old songs sounds good for goodbyes (even if the lyrics doesn't fit). But I never know what to say, so I'll ramble a bit and say whatever comes to my mind.
It has been a ride, hasn't it? I have some unused jokes and I could squeeze another 50 pages, but after almost three years I have said everything I had to say. It has been fun and making another year worth of comics would be fun too, but I wouldn't be saying anything new and furthermore, I wouldn't be making a comic about MLP, but a comic with some characters from MLP. Which is fine! But not what I want to do. I prefer to keep working on my other comics that aren't about MLP.
What will I do? Maybe I'll make a new MLP comic. Maybe I'll edit the fic I left almost finished before starting PONIES!!! Maybe I'll keep going with my own projects. Maybe I'll do drawings instead of comics for a time. But before I make a decision I know I'll take a break for a while. The last three years I've been working on four different comics at the same time. That's crazy. And I'm tired. I want to lay off, watch some movies and play some games, dammit.
Before the curtain falls for good, I have some gifts. First, a drawing of Princess Hornlestia and her creator, which I forgot to upload for months. Uops. Second, the whole comic zipped in... a zip file... in case you want to read it again. Third, some recomendations to fill my place: To Her Surprise is the best MLP fic I have read. Good as in "Past Sins, The Eternal and Background Pony are good and all, but I would buy a To Her Surprise copy if I ever see one in a book store". That kind of good. Twilight's First Day, on the other hand, is probably the best MLP comic I have seen. The way muffinshire draws comics makes me want to read Understanding Comics and Making comics again and again to get as good as him. Finally, Neverending Story isn't a MLP fan-something, but you should read it. Even if you already read it. If you are an author or love fantasy in general, odds are you will love it.
Okay, I think that was enough. It has been real, it has been fun. Goodbye and thank you for everything.

Well then. I can't say exactly what I expected this to be when I started reading it, but it certainly wasn't this. It started off randomly enough, but developed into something rather solid with a decent amount of continuity (while maintaining some level of randomness). And it actually ended - not because the author suddenly stopped updating it, not because it was put on hiatus for an indefinite amount of time, but because the story was, essentially, over. I'll admit that I haven't read many web comics, so my experience may be a little distorted, but I honestly did not expect the story to have a real ending.
Aside from being a pleasant surprise and just an enjoyable story in general, it also referenced some great songs I hadn't heard (of) before; I especially like "American Pie".
