The blog has ended, no longer in service, but still do enjoy: A curious Shooting Star visiting Equestria to learn about regular ponies.

Thank you all for being part of this blog, one way or another. Thank you for sharing it, enjoying it, contributing to it and thank you, most of all, to show enough interest to follow it for so long, It’s all thanks to you, that it lasted as long as it did.

It has been quite a ride and although it’s always sad when something ends, nothing can go on forever. This blog was my first baby steps onto tumblr and I have learned so much through it. I have met so many wonderful people as well as said goodbye to them.

Thank you all. Keep on rocking and keep on enjoying the wonders you create as well as found shared by others.

Just as I ran out of blog related things to tell about Star Shot, same counts for Skye Gazer on this blog. I’m DEFINITELY not done with her yet though, as she became more popular than I ever expected and I grew to like her a lot within short time.

She too is an OC, along with her mother, who’ll go on in random doodles and alike. With connections and relations to plenty of other blogs, just like Star Shot.

So, I can reveal she will be finishing up her study on a live Star Pony. Maybe it’ll get published, most likely it will if she’s stubborn enough. Right now she’s in a grey zone in my brain juices. What and who will Skye be without this blog to express herself through? We’ll see.

Such a same the pony she ended up paired up with was lost to the Internet after his creator lost interest in the fandom. You were indeed awesome, Peril Peaks. Maybe too awesome for this world. After all, you knew how to tame such a beast that is Skye Gazer. But I won’t let a stifled pairing hold her back, even if they were perfect together. So Peril is now just in the past.

Skye Gazer will/must find a new path on her own. So don’t you all worry, she won’t be gone for good if I got any say in it (she just won’t do much blog related stuff anymore. Depending on stuff).

Although... good point, Anon. Why not seek to add a few extra chapters to her study, if given the chance to study a live Black Star?

Hmmm

Gotta say I'm pretty sad to see this blog end, but happy I got to play a part in it for so long, especially the recent collab. Is this completely goodbye for little Star Shot or will we still see her cameo in random doodles and such?

Been awesome to work with you. When I first created the concept for Black Stars it was mostly just a vague boogieman for a little Star Pony to fear more than she disliked Princess Celestia. I was happy to let people catch the concept and take their own swing at it.

Your ideas with the Black Stars became instant canon to me. It was awesome. And it took me forever to built up the courage to ask for that collab we did together. I love collabs but I fear to be seen as pushy little fangirl. Typical me. I’m very happy I got to end this blog with a final collaboration with you and Dark Nebula, who both helped so much to make Star Shot’s universe grow further than I could make it do on my own.

For now this is completely goodbye to Star Shot as a blog pone. But not as an OC. I’ll still end up drawing her the times I’ll feel like it. I always draw my OC’s again when inspiration strikes and I was finally getting fully satisfied with how I wanted Star Shot to look. Since her first art pieces truly shows how much I needed to practice to draw ponies in FIM style.

So, she might just appear now and again on my mod blog. 

You just stay awesome, m’kay.

this isn't for your comic I just wanted to say I'm surprised y'all are still up and running! I used to follow you like over three years ago on a differen't account (nithrenmandeusquin) actually sent y'all some asks that I think you answered. Anyways, not part of the fandom anymore but I'm glad you're still alive and kicking!!!

Sadly the wrong time to congrat me for going for so long, just as I declared the blog to be closed X3; 

Three years already? Huh, been going for a long time indeed. It was a long and fun ride, but everything has its end. Especially since most of all that time, this blog spent it in hiatuses.

Fun ride indeed though. Got to talk to a lot of interesting people and their blog characters through those years. The people I still consider my best tumblr friends I first met through this blog, as I first made my mod-blog later.

I’m still alive and kicking. But that’ll be kicking without this blog.

I need to stop flowing blogs. DX they always end when I follow DX

Truth be told, this blog was foreshadowed to be closed down before you followed it, so don’t you worry.

This thing has been going on for years, most of it in hiatus.

Avatar

It both saddens my heart AND makes me happy to see how much this blog seems to mean to so many.

Yes, I am not closing down Star Shot’s blog for good, although not deleting it (just yet). I’m a bit unsure on whether or not deleting it is for the best now it’s over, but at least I’ll keep it where it is for now.

This blog was my first baby steps onto tumblr. I needed an outlet for my MLP craze, while my DeviantART account was still all about Invader Zim. I didn’t wish to scare away all my dA watchers who were only there for the IZ. 

Star Shot became my first real fandom OC, all based on my childhood pony figurine Night Song and the character I made her to be, since I didn’t even know the pony’s name back then.

In truth, this blog has been dying for a long time already though. I fought to keep my interest in it as long I could, for the many people seemingly so attached to it. But you can only punch a dead horse for so long.

Thank you all for enjoying this blog, what little story it had and its characters. And sorry for giving up on it now. But I no longer have anything left to tell about Star Shot, I never had a story for it and as time goes, I’ll have less and less time and energy to keep such a blog going.

Once again... Thank you all.

It is time - Mod Asks

Here begins the questions answered directly from Mod (aka Puffy). Some will be deleted later. The Ask Box and Submission Box have been closed now as a final end to this.

Thank you.

Anonymous asked:

what does "a nuked ask-box" mean? It exploded from too much stuff in it, or that you purged it to start over?

OOC

Nuked ask-box is just a fancy way of saying all old asks had been deleted in one go, to start over with new ones.

Simple as that. After such a long hiatus and with a new story arc about to begin it felt right to just throw out all the old I never got around to use and start over from scratch.

That is all.
