This fic has been, above all, a test of endurance. It has taught me my limits as a writer, and as such suffered from some pacing issues. I had to take breaks, sometimes for 6 months, and because of that a lot of readers were left clawing for more. But it was necessary. Without those pauses, the final product would have suffered immensely.
I could not be more proud of you, my readers, for finishing this story. It is no easy feat to read 100k words, especially when it’s just a fanfiction. What’s more, you even were inspired to make fanfiction of my work. Artwork, poems, even a game! All of this just fills me with immense pride for you.
I could never have made it without your nagging, hungry voices clawing at my arms for more. I could never have made it as good as it was without the army of proofreaders whom continue to notice my errors, as vast as they are. I could never have done it without each and every comment, good or bad, liking or disliking.
I couldn’t have done it without you.
So, as we finally mark this story closed, there are a few closing comments I wish to make. For those interested, I am working on finally proofreading the entire story, and turning it from good into great, like you readers deserve. If you’re interested in contributing, click here to be taken to the proofread doc.
And finally, there will be hard copies of the finished product, once the proofreaders are done making this story as great as you all are, with a bonus chapter. What will this chapter be? That’s a secret. I have to make the hard copy a little bit juicy don’t I? ;) Don’t worry, it’s nothing game-breaking. Probably.
If you want updates on that, click here to be taken to the book update doc. That’s where any updates on how that’s going will be posted.
So, with everything said and done, I want to remind everyone to stay
A Little Loopy.
It's finally over :(
My, my.
The feels.
*raises flag of sequel, drops flag, raises flag of salutations instead*
wow... finally end eyy.. thx for such a good fic :D
This best time loop story after the Hard Reset saga I've ever, EVER, read to date.
And I have read (and suffered) through quite a few.
You're worthy of a hundred #25's and are deserving of the praise you've gotten and will get for time to come.
:)
I didn't think I was gonna favourite it, but I loved the epilogue chapter ("-"). It really rounded out the story perfectly.

This was a fantastic story, even with the pauses you had to take in writing it, and I can only thank you for sharing it with us. It's been a great read, and while I am sad to see it end, it's as they say - all good things must.
It was a good story, too bad it's finished.
Amazing fic. I had a couple of very late nights reading it.
Totally worth it though.
It was a pleasure reading this. thank you for the story.
You did an awesome job. I'm happy I have found this and enjoyed it. I do remember some chapters where placeholders. Don't remember which one exactly or if they still are placeholders but aside from that it was an awesome journey.
10/10 would read loop again
I have to say I found this story back before it ever got to loop fifteen I believe, it has been amazing ride and beyond inspirational in many ways. I look forward to hard-copy book, Which I WILL be getting, and have enjoyed the journey of this story and the evolution of Sweetie Belle as a character. This whole story has a test of will and endurance that I have enjoyed reading and even rereading. I love it and I know it will only get better in the hard copy version. Until then I will do my best to either help, or be patient for the release of the actual book.
All that's left to say is that I rate this story an astounding 100 loops of insanity out of 100.
A game?
Can we get a link to it?
The feels...
I've been with you from loop 3, and I'm sad to see it finished.
You have amazed me, I'm sad to this this fic end but in the same regard happy to see you have finished it. Keep up the good work.
What an amazing journey this was

Thank you, Warewolves.
6273941 Id like to see this as well
Aw man, now I feel depressed that this story is over......in the morning. It never does anyone good to get depressed in the morning I would like to know when exactly Sweetie got a throne, but maybe I missed something I feel the urge to write a sequel, but I have no ideas right now. All in all, this was a fantastic fanfic and it is really sad to see it end, but, as it is, everything must come to an end. I hope I can expect to see more amazing fics from you !
This story was the perfect blend of darkness and comedy. It had me staying up nights, just wanting to read more. This is truly one of my favorite stories on this site. I'm sad to see it end, but I'm sure I'll be rereading it quite a few more times. Loved it, and I'm definitely going to get a book copy.
I've seen many Time Loop stories. Your one ranks up with the best. I will be buying that book, and great job man. Great job.
Well its been a long road for us the readers and I'm sure it was even longer your you the author, but every story has to come to an end at some point. This has been one of my favorite fictions to date and as such I shall recommend it to anyone willing to read it.
It's been a long, long road here. I came in around loop 50 or so, and have loved every moment of this.
I'm sad to see it go.
Woah when did that happen?
I don't remember ever waiting that long.
I do hope it's ok to be more than A Little Loopy; Sometimes, I am without a doubt, the very definition of insanity!
* glances to his own story*
Yeaaaaaah, i know this feeling quite well.
Thank you warewolves!!! This story is one of my favorite fanfictions
Ya know I'm not ashamed to say I'm a little sad to be removing this from my Tracking tab. But all good things must come to an end... Unless you're stuck in a time loop then don't go crazy. Awesome Story my friend.
Well played. Thank you for this exciting read threw your world.
A hard copy eh? I might partake in that, keep it right next to my Past Sins book.
"not easy to read 100k work fanfictions", I can't help but think of other fictions I am reading such as murky number seven with 40k chapters chapters, or project horizons and the 1.3 million words I read of that. I love fan fiction, especially the long ones.
I have reason to believe that this was one of the first Fics I ever followed when I joined this website and I have to say...
You've never let me down.
Ever.
This is spectacular.
Thank you, Warewolves.
Thank you so much.
I have been with this story pretty much since the beginning and I only have one thing to say, you are awesome
I decent enough story. I feel the ending was still a bit abrupt, but at least its an ending and not some open ended will never be completed or continued not really an ending ending that I've seen some people write before.
Through thick and thin, readers have stayed with their favorite authors. At times they will abandon them to favor some new awesome stories, but in the end they will always fly back to their favorites. I was re-reading all of this when these last few chapters came out. I have to say that the journey has been great. Besides all of the unfortunate breaks that you have taken, this story couldn't possibly be anymore better than what it is now. I can only hope that you create more.
Following you,
Avid Season; Critic
I'm happy I was able to find this through my editor man, it was a hell of a ride up to this point.
A game, what game
This is by far one of my favourite pony fics. The updates were all quick, it was uniquely written, and always interesting to read. Thankyou for writing this!
Hmm... will the proofreaders get to look at the bonus chapter so that they can proofread it?
Thank you for the work you've put in on this.

What happened to April fools chapter?
I have been following this story from almost the beginning. All I have to say is. Bravo! Just Bravo!
clap clap clap
Genius. Pure unadulterated genius. This is up there with Hard Reset as one of the great Time Loop stories. Comes highly recommended. 10/10.
Really nice work! I just had the feeling in the last 20 or so loops you lost a little of your passion for the story and just wanted to finish it. However the wrap-up at the end of the story is nice. I really like the writing style and the nice poem collection in the chapters. I really hope your printing project turns out as well as expect. I would love a copy. :)

Just wanted to leave here how uttererly amazing your Story was
Seriously ... one of my best Reads as of yet on this site. An the Ending was simply perfect.
Thank youu so much for writing this beautifull piece of Fanfiction
I usually like to leave comments after every chapter I read, but due to the sheer number of them here I decided against that...
This was a long adventure, and at the end of the adventure I think I can say that I had fun. I love time loop stories, and this one did so many things differently that I really enjoyed it. Most loop stories are just one day, or end with the character's death. I don't think I've read one that's five days long.
I also really enjoyed seeing Sweetie Belle as the main character. I don't know why it is that she is the most charismatic of the CMC when it comes to more 'serious' fanfics. I even wrote one myself, lol... Her evolution and growth as a character felt believable and were enjoyable to watch.
Now, I won't say that the story was perfect. The beginning half of the story (more specifically, the second quarter), it felt like the quality was going downhill. Things were getting a little dull when we were just watching Sweetie try random stuff out, and I'm going to be honest...I almost stopped reading. However, the second half of the story definitely made up for that, and things only got better as Sweetie got closer and closer to the complete insanity of the 100th loop. If you ever get to doing some major editing on this, or like a remake or something, I think you might consider trimming some of the earlier chapters entirely.
My favourite parts were Sweetie's suffocating death loop, Sweetie poisoning the town, everything involving the dragons, and my most favourite part: the chapter after her four friends turned to dust before her eyes. That one really got me in the heartstrings.
I enjoyed the ride, so thank you very much.
