Sunset's life was great. She had been forgiven by (most of) the school, was on track for graduating with honors, and best of all, had five amazing best friends she wouldn't trade for the world. But after the events of Anon-a-Miss, her whole world is flipped upside down and she must rethink her relationships with her friends.
Featured twice in February 2020 and once in March 2021. Thank you!
Cover art done by me.
Why do people make so many of these stories? Was the original comic really that bad?
10479247
It kinda was yeah. It's entire message and how it was done was just terrible all around. Even worse was that this was the big holiday special with a extra long comic too! Still makes me wonder why its such a popular subject to write about though.
Aha, you had said you were thinking about doing this.
Solid start, let's see how this goes now.
Interesting start.
I remember this story, I hope it better then the last one.
I'm sorry it was going good, but then the last chapter, was all confusing, seem to skip the friendship games i think was weird.

"I can do better" is a powerful motivator.
There's also the fact that, for all it was terrible, the comic was filled to the brim with potential. There's enough raw material in those 48 pages to tell a thousand different stories, and all of it was wasted.
That having been said, the vast majority of Anon-a-Miss stories retread the same territory over and over again, so the fanfiction doesn't really live up to the potential either.
[Added:] Also worth noting that when The End was started, fewer than ten percent of the current Anon-a-Miss fics had been published. It wasn't nearly so well explored a topic.
Welp I gotta say I’m really glad this story is being revived. Plus, it seems to be written at a slower pace, which I think the original story needed. Can’t wait to see more.
it was good
Wait, so she went from the bedroom to the bathroom?
10482215
She’s meant to be entering a bathroom that’s connected to her bedroom. I’m sorry, I should’ve made that more clear

Because, most people who like MLP kept it a secret from people they knew, because most people saw any guys who liked the show as pedophiles or worst, and if they were found out they were mocked horrifically.
The comic not only is it just shitty writing all around, but its message is warped beyond all belief, as it shits all over people who actually went through what sunset did because it just sweeps every problem that comes from it straight under the rug like none it matters.
i love this so much! keep up the good work!
? What a strange story.
honestly, I kinda hoped that Sunset would just viciously...HATEFULLY...tell them to leave her alone, just like in the old story.
Still, it's looking good. Keep up the good work!

she can't really say anything 'cause of the stomach acid and i don't think she has had time to process her thoughts and feelings
You can really feel the emotion in their apology. I almost fell apart when it was pinkie’s turn.
10500570
Yea that's true. Wish she could vent out her anger and hate on those girls.
Great chapter

Don't worry, she'll have her time to show her anger next chapter
You go Sunset, they deserve to be put into place for what they did and made you end yourself.
When was she in a hotel?
No, don’t hold her back.
Ok, I know Sunset going through a moment, but she would have to fight me. On top of that I would have said some hurtful sh*t back.
Burned.
Ahh... Good girl Sunset. Now turn into a demon AND BURN THEM INTO OBLIVION.
10509657
Thank you for pointing that out! It’s meant to say hospital lol
Boom goes the cannon.
Is was suppose to be way?
Also really loving the chapter and the realism of it.
(sigh) Rainbow Dash, why must you always be so stupid AND stubborn? I mean Sunset has every right to feel that way towards you and the others!
Really hope they stay unforgiven!
You accidentally capitalized the u in Sunset. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it deer in headlights?
Great chapter! I was worried she was just going to forgive them for a second there, but thankfully, this story didn't go that route.

Now we just need a BITCH SLAP from shy.
You want some ointment for that burn, Dashie?
Well played, Sunset. Well played indeed.
Welp. Im probably gonna catch some flak for this.
Sunset's choice was made by her and her alone. They did not make her attempt suicide. That is a choice she made on her own.
This does not excuse the actions of the five in the slightest. What they said was unwarranted, baseless, and overall cruel. They do not deserve sympathy for Sunsets completely justified rejection. However, the only person who can control her actions is herself. I think this is an important distinction, because if Sunset can't hold herself accountable for her own actions then she will only get worse in the long run.
10519743
Thank you for bringing that up! I'm planning for a main plot point to be Sunset learning to hold herself accountable for what she's done!
Good work! Enjoying the rewrite.
10520961
You better have the other hold themselves accountable for being failures of friends.
i don't agree with what was explained earlier.
but that my thoughts, they still hurt her and hurt her good, they shown they they never truly forgave her.
that they lied to themselves.
10519743
that's...kinda cold and tactless.
think about it, if Anon-A-Miss event never happened, Sunset would never have any reason to commit suicide.
But the event did happen, the Crusaders, Rainbooms, and everyone who accused her of being Anon-A-Miss drove her to the edge. While it's true Sunset did choose to kill herself, but all it takes is a REASON to do so.
the Crusaders and Rainbooms ARE that reason.
10588156
Cold? To be honest yea it kinda is. The sad truth of life is that the people you trust are going to hurt you at some point. We are all flawed and that means we come into conflict with each other for reasons we may or may not consider justified. What other people do doesn't matter so much as your reaction to it.
If everyone who was hurt as Sunset has in this story was to react in such a manner, we would lose a lot of good people. Heck a lot of people already do. But if you can take that pain and move forward you will be a much better person for it. It's not an easy thing to do, I know what its like to lose the trust of those close to you. But in the end,
You are who you chose to be.
Updates?

Working on the new chapter now. Sorry for the random hiatus!
Wow this is good chapter, really heart breaking to.
I hope to see more, and wonder what will happen next?
Wouldn’t it just make more sense to leave her alone for awhile?
Is that true?
I’m guessing rarity, pinkie pie, and fluttershy?
10649039
This is told from Sunset’s POV and in her perspective yes, that’s how she thinks she appears to frozen heart. However, it could also just be her anxiety driven thoughts making everything seem harsher. And yes, the three she sees herself on speaking terms with is Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Rarity.
A good chapter, though a few points could've used the creation of a new paragraph - besides that little nit pick, you did a great job once again!
Can't wait to see what happens next!
10649343
Yeah this one was sloppy and written at 2 am with a glass of wine in hand lol. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!
As someone with experience as a patient and a worker in mental health treatment, this sentiment always bothers me. I understand why some people think it at first--I used to think it too--and, now I know the reason we chose this line of work is because we do care.
This isn't to disparage your writing. This chapter is written from Sunset's POV and her believing this makes sense within the story. I just want people reading to know that in reality, therapists and mental health clinic workers absolutely care about the people we treat. If we didn't, we wouldn't have these jobs.
10650067
Thank you for posting this! I wasn't sure if I wanted to add that bit of this chapter because I was afraid people would agree with it, but I'm glad that hasn't happened. Thanks for sharing your experience <3
GOT DAMMIT RAINBOW SOMEONE BREAK HER LEGS and her arms while at it.
Maybe that make her think for once.
Wow, Rainbow Dash, you're PISSED at a girl, who you THREW HER OUT like she didn't matter over some stupid photos and secrets I might add, and trying to FIGHT that girl, trying to MAKE that girl stay?
How stupid can you get?
Good chapter though, I wonder if we get to see the Rainboom's and Human CMC's perspective when Sunset left?
10663228
I hope I'm not making Rainbow too hate-able. She lashes out when she's upset and doesn't rationally think things through before she does them, but deep down she feels a lot of guilt and truly wants to make it up to Sunset. It's nice to know people feel so passionately about my story though!
Honestly, I would have been like “see ya, sunset.”
