Last Pony on Earth: The End?

Hey everypony! This blog is about whether or not the story should end soon. If that doesn’t interest you, you can probably stop reading. Consider this a spoiler warning as well. If you’re not current on the story, don’t read on.

So, my original plan for Last Pony on Earth was to end after two more entries.

Why? Because the largest drama of the story is largely over. The biggest mystery is now resolved. We know Alex’s gender. We know what caused the Event. Soon Alex will be returning to Earth, and it will be back to survival. No more trips to Equestria, no more big mysteries to resolve. Further, it seemed that most of the survival story is already told. They did lots of that stuff in Los Angeles (before it burned down).

Yeah, there’s more that could happen. Winter hasn’t come yet, more real relationships are developing, and the HPI will be much more a factor in their lives.

The question is, should I end the story in a few entries and move on to the sequel/epilogue. (the epilogue takes place five years later, and jumps further ahead to see society develop, without hanging around for too long at any one point). The sequel will be written no matter what (the first chapter is done already), so don’t let that sway your decision.

I suppose the question is: should I add an after-story to Last Pony on Earth? I had originally planned on the story going on for two months, and there’s some content I cut to end it here; those things would make it back in, and we would continue for another few weeks. Seems like a really long anti-climax to me, but… I’m still excited about the story.

The question is, should I write it, or just move on to the Epilogue/Sequel story?

Make your voice heard in this poll!

I’ll probably take a break until Saturday either way (that is, after what would’ve been the ending, not right now. Saturday’s tomorrow anyway). It will take time to get another week’s entries together, so that would mean four days without chapters. Other than that, I’ll probably go with the majority. I’m excited to write the Epilogue story, but I also wouldn’t mind get to explore the drama of the existing characters a little more.

Please let me know how you feel!
