((Thirteen years ago today, I debuted this character, Plotline, to the world of role play ponies. He started innocent enough. A young writer with a Professor Layton-vibe and an obvious crusho n Applejack who was farming to make ends meet. Thirteen years later, he's done so much. But as much as he's led on, I've been most proud ofh im being part of other stories.))

((Plotline is, at his heart, a supporting character, not a main character. I may not have always done a good job of (...)

conveying that, but personally, I truly enjoyed being a part of, and lifting up, other stories. What started with him eventually led to Diamond Tiara, then Pinkie Pie, then so many others. Today, I play the entire Line family, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Twilight Sparkle, Fleetfoot, Gilda, Grogar, Discord (plm), Derpy, Yona, and a host of others. And, more importantly, I've made so many irreplacible friends!))

((As I've gotten older, my energy and motivation have certainly waivered (...)

over the years. And I no longer post daily... largely for my own sanity. However, my love for role play ponies has not been dampened, and I'm happy to watch what's going on. I don't know how much longer I have in me in this role, and maybe I won't be able to be here "until the lights go out on role play ponies" like I imagined, but... maybe that's a good thing. Knowing that something that's meant so much to me has a life beyond me.))

((But I know I'm not done yet. Because I do wanna (...)

do more here. With characters like Starline and Gavin who have stories to tell, Twilight, Diamond Tiara, Fleetfoot, and Yona, who have a lot of people loving having them around... it's no wonder I feel so burnt out, but it makes me so happy to know people still wanna RP with these characters, even after broken promises and extended absences. XD ))

((I know I won't be RPing here for ANOTHER thirteen years, but I"m still here now... and that's good enough for me. I have one more massive (...)

story in my back pocket I wanna tell, and it'll come. When... I'm not sure. I wanna make sure I'm out of everyone else's way. But beyond that... I still love just doing pony fun stuff with you all, and I wanna do more. I hope you're still with me and I hope you're still with the MastoPonies.))

((Thank you all for changing my life in such a positive way. I love the lot of you and I hope to bring more joy to you all in the years to come. <3 ))

@mlp_Plotline ((love you bunches, Plot! Congrats on 13 years!))
