Well…It's been five long years.
Hello everyone. Or rather, hello to everyone still here.
I know that it's been a while. I also know that many people who liked this story have more than likely moved on. I don't blame them for that either. After the amount of time that has passed, I would give up on this story as well.
However, for those that have left, for those that are still here, and for those that have started reading this story during this long LONG, hiatus, I am sorry.
I am sorry that I never gave any news about this story.
I am sorry that I seemingly went radio silent on FanFiction.
I am sorry that I made you wait for so long.
And I am sorry for all the terrible writing I may have displayed at any point during A Brony Life.
But most importantly, I am sorry that I made it appear that this story is dead.
But one thing I am not sorry about, is that I made a promise.
The last line of the previous chapter, the one I wrote 5+ years ago, went as follows:
So quote me on this as many times as you want:
"I promise to finish A Brony Life! Nothing from Heaven, Earth, Mars, of the Secret Life of a man named Walter Mitty will stop me!"
I PROMISE
...
Wow. I wrote that?! And what's worse, I still remember feeling proud of that! Ugh…
Well, regardless how stupid that promise is, I made it. And, I never break my promise. No matter how cringy that line sounds either.
Over the past five years, I've been trying to get better at writing. I worked on it during college, and I'm still working on it. Let me tell ya, the only good thing this pandemic ever did was eliminate any excuses for not getting shit done.
At the end of last year, I finally sat down and started working on this story. And it was thanks to the help of many people who messaged me, checking in on me through FimFiction, and sending me PMs. Thank you to all of you personally. I always read those messages. Some of you even took what I said to heart with the 'quote me on this' part of that promise I made. Thank you for that.
As I'm writing this, I've already written more than a handful of chapters and a dozen+ are already mapped out. I even have someone who was kind enough to help me out with checking over these chapters. They want to be known simply as The Editor so I'll be referring to them by that name.
The first chapter goes up on July 3rd. No set time for it but it'll be there. My username on FimFiction is the same as my username here. The story'll be under the title:
ABL: Harmony's Thieves
I had once had the summary of the story in the previous chapter. For those that saw it, I hope you remember because I censored it. Sorry. After all, I can't have anyone knowing everything about this story.
Just know that it'll be a sudden shift from how this story has been written here on FanFiction. And, for those who didn't like Joe, Morgue, and Big Mike or thought they were OP or annoying, I ended up giving them a complete rewrite of personality.
In fact, there will be a lot of changes to both the three brothers and Blitz himself. With Blitz particularly, his name will be different.
Rather than Electric Blitz have the same real name as me, Zeke, he'll have his real name changed.
It's probably not that important but I'm doing it to finally give the character his own identity. Yeah, that sounds corny, but it's something I should have done from the start. I first used my name for him because he was originally supposed to be a self-insert. But when I gave him cybernetics, that concept was thrown out the window. Not to mention, he's not much like me in the first place.
For starters, he'd have finished what he started a long time ago.
Anyways, I don't want to keep you all here forever. This whole soap box story's already over 700 words. So, if you're interested to see what happens next in this story, I'll see you on FimFiction!
Have a great day everyone and, most of all, stay safe out there. With the world turning to bricks out there, we gotta make sure we all stay safe.
So…
Bye every Brony.
And goodbye FanFiction. This story will remain here, but I will no longer.
-Zeke
