Where do you think you'll be if the Ask-King-Sombra blog didn't get famous. Like would you given up on drawing ponies, stopped the blog, and so on.

I dunno! Really it depends on what ‘famous’ means, honestly. If I didn’t have ANY followers then I probably would have ended AKS in under a year and moved on to something else. But if I had a small but dedicated group of people who were obviously still enjoying the updates and giving feedback, I probably would have still kept the story going! 

‘Cuz ultimately I’m doing AKS because I like the characters and I like story, not because I owe it to anyone else. XD But yeah, when you do something and no one is appreciating it, it can get pretty demoralizing so I might have tried something else (probably still pony) if it was clear that no one liked what I was doing with AKS.
