As I'm sure you're all aware, the old version of this story was deleted. How unfortunate. Now, I deleted it for a number of reasons that I will divulge into right here. Ready? Here we go.

Reason Number 1.) Plot

I wrote the original version of this story back when I was still an amateur writer. I had a lot of big ideas and the stories I started out writing had a lot of potential. However, I lacked the experience and know-how to execute the story's plot in a proper way. As such, the chapters were kind of jumbled and I skipped over some very important pieces of plot material in the beginning. Not to mention my need to use different creatures from different universes as a way to differentiate Ben's new device from the Ultimatrix (not to mention I was on a bit of a One Piece phase as well with the song). However, with this revamped version of the story, I hope to fix that.

Reason Number 2.) Demanding Readers

Now please don't take this the wrong way, but some of my readers were very demanding when it came to the old story. I was happy that people liked my story, but I wasn't so happy that people were badgering me to update the story quicker than what I was capable of doing. Between things like school, homework, and limited access to a computer throughout the day, I never had the time to write as much as other authors did. As a result, my writing turned out sloppy and the chapters continued to grow shorter and shorter until the chapters just turned out pathetically short. Which brings us to…

Reason Number 3.) Pathetically Short Chapters

In the beginning of the story, as I had introduced each Element of Harmony between the Mane Six, as Twilight Sparkle and her friends are called, I was able to make each chapter long enough to be considered a good length chapter. However with a lack of inspiration and a hectic schedule in real life, I was unable to continue this, and the chapters for my stories grew much shorter and more fragmented than I would have liked.

Reason Number 4.) Lack of Motivation

As time grew on and I started posting and updating better and better stories, I began to lose my drive to write the old version of this story. But now that I have that motivation back and know what I'm doing, I'm positive that I can bring this story back and make it greater than its predecessor.

Thank you all for sitting through my little ranting phase here. The official first chapter for this story is well underway to being written, so expect it to be up sometime either tomorrow or next weekend. Please don't pressure me into updating faster, as that will do more harm to the story than it will do good. Also, and I get these reviews a lot on my other stories, but please, please, please, PLEASE don't spam guest reviews asking me to update my story or to update faster. Seriously, if you're going to leave a review, please leave one that tells me if you like the chapter/the story in general or not. Or leave a review that offers some constructive criticism. Heck, even flames are acceptable. But PLEASE don't spam guest reviews telling me to update sooner! (*glares at the audience* You know who you are!)

Thanks again for listening to me rant and rave. See you all in the chapter tomorrow. Buh-bye now!
