(A/N: This will be the first time that both of the authors will be involved with this, so there will be times when this whole thing will switch from one of us to the other and back again. Just giving you all a heads up.)
Main Author(Daggett19/Aaron): Hello, everyone, and welcome to 2025. As you all can infer from this title, we'll be announcing our plans AtMP from this point and onwards, and we'll get to that. But first, we thought to provide you with a bit of context to help better explain this.
So, my co-author/brother and I decided to provide you all with some history, explaining how we got to this point, starting with how AtMP even began. I'll let my co-author begin with his side first, since he was the person to come up with the idea.
Co-author(Andrew): Me and my brother were reading Perkygoth14's works like the animated Xenaverse movie and Avengers Grimm II, "How to do Mr. Gold more of a disservice than his own show", and I jokingly said" Hey, why don't we do this and see where it goes". And since, I'm stuck with this and can't back out now.
Main Author: As for me, I jumped at this idea because, as I've mentioned in Future Projects(Votes are Welcomed) that, in my case, taking on more projects tends to help, as it prevents my brain from coming up with ideas for stuff that I'm not working on. And, at the time, the only project/story I was working on was the Kalos arc of the Pokemon story.
So, I went with it. However, as the past five years came and gone, and my brother and I had various discussions about which direction to take AtMP, I've noticed a few things. 1.) While the project was doing well with the 'forcing my brain to focus on the current project' thing I was intending, I wasn't enjoying myself so far, especially with watching Sabrina the Animated Series episodes multiple times just to write each episode.
2.) I fear that the stuff I do want to get to will never be achieved at my current writing progress, not to mention that any of the chapters I had written so far for AtMP didn't seem to make me happy after I wrote them, whether they be due to how rushed they were(early days), or because, despite the tone I decided to go for, it wasn't coming out the way I wanted and yet I decided to go for it because I didn't want to spend another minute with each episode, each chapters weren't satisfying to me as they should've been.
And 3.), I've noticed that my brother, with each passing year, seems to be less involved with the process for AtMP, to the point that he sometimes changes the subject when we talk about it. Which brings us to our decision after a recent discussion we have: cancelling AtMP, for a variety of reasons, so let me get my reasons out of the way.
Here are the reasons why I decided to go for it:
1.) As stated, AtMP hasn't been fun, and most of what I wrote for it wasn't going the way I wanted, even after 5 years of writing for it.
2.) It was originally a combination of 'take that'/attempt of one-upping PerkyGoth14, and that was what made the first year painful and cringe-worthy, as I was making mistakes left and right and only got better because my brother pointed out how stupid this part was.
3.) While I'm still uncertain about my future down the line, I know that regardless, my brother and I will be walking down different paths and thus won't be able to interact as much as we usually do, and still am, which would be AtMP's downfall.
4.) I spent the past 5 years on a story for AtMP that was making me miserable all because I didn't want to drop it and have it be on my conscience, knowing that some part of me will always regret not finishing it. But, after all this time, I can't keep pushing myself to be miserable just to finish something that isn't making me happy.
And 5.) None of AtMP so far is what I want. What I planned back then isn't what I see for it at the moment, and even after my brother pointed out stuff that helped me focus on how to get it the way I want, I know that it won't happen with AtMP.
So, those are my reasons. I have been ignoring them for years, telling myself that there would be the metaphorical rainbow with gold on the other side, but I'm done lying to myself. Now, onto my co-author/brother to explain his reason for deciding to cancel this, which helps me come to terms with my own reasons for doing so.
Co-author: I lost interest in it a long time ago and this was supposed to be an inside joke that became reality.
Main Author: So, yeah, those are the reasons why we're scrapping this. Mainly me, as my brother had already done so way before this. Should I have done it earlier? Yes, it would've been a lot painless for me, and for all of you who are reading this.
But, at the time, and until 2023 and 2024, mainly 2024, I was a stubborn young adult who refused to admit his own problems to his family, much less himself. I'm still stubborn, but as I've mentioned last year, I'm learning how to admit my own flaws, shortcomings and even admit them, and this is one of them.
However, I will still keep this story up and the first one, as monuments. Both for any readers who want to read them, and for me to use as a lesson in various ways. Because, despite how miserable AtMP was for me, I did learn some good lessons from it.
Not only that, but two characters I've planned on putting into AtMP down the line, I will be using them for any stories I plan on writing for this year, especially stuff I do want to write, like Poppy Playtime, Amphibia, The Owl House, a hypothetical second season of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo done right(because as the famous saying goes, 'if you want something done, do it yourself'), Care Bears(even have a second go at The Care Bears Movie.) and other stuff that I tend to enjoy and want to do stories for, so that's another good thing that will come out of this.
The funny thing, looking at it, is that this started because my brother and I, well, we have our different ways of showing how we didn't like PerkyGoth14's works(my brother doesn't like her works period, while I see potential of something good, and yet said potential was squandered), and yet I ended up learning something from this...ironically because of PerkyGoth14.
So, if you happen to be reading this, PerkyGoth14, good news is that you won't have to deal with AtMP anymore.
Anyways, thanks for anyone who has stuck by this project for this long, and I'm sorry for anyone who will be sad by the cancellation of it. But, like I said, this whole thing wasn't good for both my brother and I. Thus, I decided to focus on what makes both of us happy, even if it means cancelling this. So, again, thanks for sticking by this and apologies for anyone who will be sad by its departure.
Side note: I have a plan to remake a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon story on Deviantart, as when I first wrote it, I was 16 and still learning how to write stories. It's about a decade old, give or take, and, as my brother puts it, in internet years, this story is like finding a dinosaur's fossil, that's how old it is. Looking back on it, I could've died from the cringe-factor that was my old work, so I plan on rewriting it, using the experience I have.
Hope you all have a good 2025, and thanks for the support you all showed this work for its lifespan. I will see you all soon, preferably within the next month.
