> “You are now Princess Woona. You are overcome with your own cuteness. For some reason, you find yourself on the moon.
> What will you do?”
> Moonstuck started one night on a whim, based on my love for Princess Luna’s portrayal in the then-newly-aired Luna Eclipsed. And, as things tend to, it…got a little out of control. It turned from a few late-night lolrandom panels into a story from Luna’s childhood, about how she and her friends – Celestia included – found the Elements of Harmony and defeated Discord. (In this timeline, at least. This was well before any of that came up in the show, and Moonstuck has always been cheerfully AU anyway.) I didn’t expect it to last very long, but reader suggestions kept pouring in, and ideas kept coming. The audience interaction kept the adventure going, expanded the world, and encouraged Team Woona all the way to the end, almost a year later.
> I moved on from the pony fandom a long time ago, but Moonstuck still has a special place in my heart. Sure, it’s a silly pony blog that shouldn’t be taken too seriously, but it represents a lot of fun and creative memories for me, and I still have close friendships with people I met through it. And…it’s still special to a lot of other people as well, apparently! Even now, I’ll get the occasional message from someone who remembers Woona and her friends, and looks back fondly on their adventures across an extremely scientifically-inaccurate moon. All said and done, I’m glad to have created something that was able to make people smile and brighten their day a little!
> I’m really happy that so many of you enjoyed Moonstuck, whether it was today or ten years ago or anywhere inbetween. Thanks for being Woona’s friend. ♡
