Aniversary of Cheer On · 7:08pm Jan 21st, 2013
One year ago today I posted the final chapter to Cheer On, my most unexpectedly popular fic. (Yes, I actually keep track of these things. It must be the Twilight in me.) On that day I also promised a sequel sometime in the future, but last year I really didn't post much after Cheer On, nor have I finished any of the projects I've started since then. It would seem odd to do so now with some three or four unfinished fics still under my name, but I think I definitely need to get the Cheer On sequel going, since I feel I owe it to the readers who have been waiting for so long. I'm very nearly done with the first chapter (which I had hoped to finish by today but sadly didn't; Darn homework) so I figure I can release it sometime in the next week or two (absolutely before the end of the month is what I am gunning for! No laziness now, GW!!!!)
Before that I really do have to thank all the folks who read Cheer On. It's all of you who make writing fanfics fun and motivates us fanfic writers to keep going (even though I've been horribly lazy the last year.) Thank you all for the support and the enthusiasm and all you're answering of the math problems which I think was the most popular thing about the fic.
Speaking of such things, writing a sequel is kind of scary. Obviously there is a certain expectation among the readers that I have to meet (has any sequel to anything ever met that expectation?) It makes me kind of nervous because the sequel has a somewhat different tone from the original and of course a different plot which really should be expected. I can't expect to get away with repeating the same plot. So far there aren't any insane math problems and the Cutie Mark Crusaders may or may not play as large of a role, but it looks like Cheerilee is going to be more involved with what is going on than last time where she rather happenstantially fell into it. I probably shouldn’t say much more than that.
Once again, thank you all for reading the first one and I hope you enjoy reading the second once I release it.

Don't be upset about your projects, If I wasnt taking on two diffrent ones at once I would be at least four chapters ahead in my story. All I'm saying, it happens thats life.
Hooray! I just re-read Cheer On, forgot how much I liked it.
Honestly, what I'd love to see would be a short little one-off side story about Cheerliee and Big Mac during their pro-wrestling days. I absolutely loved that tidbit :P

Don't worry, that is still going to be relavant in the next story. I know I'm late now on producing the sequal, but now the hell month at work is finally over, I can actually focus some on other things again.
