For those waiting for Chapter 25, I have good news and bad news. Good news: I at least have a plan for it.
After getting some feedback regarding Twilight just abruptly leaving the arena in Chapter 23, I decided to extend the exchange between her and Sunset. The outcome remains the same, but now Twilight tries to talk Sunset out of engaging the attackers due to her injuries, offering to fight in her place instead. This is just a minor edit.
Here's a little something I threw together. What do you guys think?
So yeah, it's been over a month since the last chapter was posted. I apologize for taking so long to update the story. I was suffering from a case of writer's block in trying to decide the circumstances in which Sunset Shimmer befriends the pony she hates the most, Twilight Sparkle. On top of that, I was frequently getting sidetracked, facing a ton of distractions that kept me from staying focused. I'm happy to report that I've got another chapter ready to post. I just need to do some
Sunset's original predicament following her falling out with Princess Celestia felt too harsh, so I decided to alter her backstory a bit. Her falling out now coincides with the beginning of Season 1, and Sunset is sent to live with an acquaintance of Princess Celestia for two years while he tries to help. Other than her narration and some dialogue before she leaves for Ponyville, the chapter is mostly unchanged.
An appropriate reaction, since I was playing Guitar Hero 2 at the time.
A very big thank you to everyone who made this possible!
