    Composure 7 status update

    Update on the chapter. Minor delays - my proofreaders made some good suggestions I'm taking on board.

    Composure 7 should be out between Saturday evening to Monday.

    Thank you for your patience.

    The draft of Composure, Chapter 7, is complete.

    I'll be tidying it up and running it past my prereaders and editors. My tentative e.t.a. is Saturday 10th August.

    This year has been immensely difficult for me, so I thank you all for your patience and understanding.

    All the best, and I'll see you on Saturday.
    --Varanus

Composure 7 is going well, by the way. Stay tuned.

Wow, it's been so long I'd completely forgotten all about that.

What was it about again? :trollestia:

Really? The next chapter is really in the works? It has been so long... please hurry.

Oh you...

812583
I just really like this picture, okay? :raritydespair:

812588

Shouldn't you be asleep? :rainbowhuh:

812539 could you also provide a summary of what has happened so far? afraid to say i forgot everything or it's all a blur with other fics i have read and i am not sure as to what was composure and what was somethings else. would be very helpful vs. having to skim back over 80,000 words.

hehe. i forgot it all.....shit:facehoof:

EDIT: was this the one with the dream with ponies walking off to the sunset? if so this story is one of the great ones!

812612
If you've forgotten everything, then rereading the fic will be like falling in love all over again. :trollestia:

But seriously, it'll be a little while before Composure 7 is ready, so feel free to take your time catching up. I'll be sure to write the fic such that I keep in mind the huge gap in update time.

EEEEE...You're coming back, the guy who wrote Ballad of Twilight is coming back, the guy who wrote Friends of a Solar Empire is coming back, I just can't hold all these FEELS :heart:

812539
tbh: I think you should do something new.

812642
Nah, leaving something unfinished is lame.

812647

I'm not saying that you should leave composure unfinished but when you take so long to finish something there must be a thing that holds back a good flow of progression. And to stop that starting a new thing is actually a good solution Whenever I have a writersblock I just start something new, words flow better and after some time the urge to work on the previous thing grows and the writersblock is gone. Well, that is what I have experienced when writitng.

And I do not like compusre since the last chapter, but that is just my opinion. Do not stop, many others like it. :twilightsmile:

812658
Didn't have writer's block. Had a total creative breakdown due to stress and illness, unrelated to this fic. Writing is back now.

812695

That is somethig else, as my interest in the fic was getting lower I stopped following your personal progress as well. So my apologies for getting to the wrong conclusion immediatly.

812612 You FORGOT what happens in Composure? Sweet solar heavens, pony! Sit those flanks down and get comfortable; it's time to get remedial.

812695 Balls. That's the word, I believe, re: your previous situation. The word for the current situation, however, would be glorious. (I may or may not be biased in that evaluation.)

Also, yes, Celestia. You and Twilight are doing just about everything right.

812743
Double balls because I was studying architecture, a subject that kind of totally hinges on creativity.

I survive, and will return. For now, I take care of this.

Great to hear that you're back and in shape to start writing again. I'm afraid that I too, will need to get ::ahem:: remedial. :facehoof:

You know what is the first thing I thought of when I saw the FLUFFY comic? This(Please read the lyrics carefully):

:twilightsmile::trollestia:

812609
No sleep until Composure updates!

812627 it's something i am personally have problems with. it's not so much i can't remember. it's that i have read like 40 twilestia fics and can't remotely remember what i read and connect bits to this specific story. that's kinda why i asked if it had the long dream about the ponies walking to the sunset.

if you could, could you maybe tell me anything special about this fic? like celestia isn't immortal or twilight is immortal or anything that kinda stands out then the norm when it comes to characters. like maybe there is no luna and just nightmare moon. anything that isn't run of the mill. if anything, there doesn't have to be. just if there is, it would help me remember.:twilightblush:

812612
Yes! Yes it is and you should go re-read it because of how awesome it is!
Remember to bring tissues. Tissues are important in that chapter ... because you know ... manly tears ... :scootangel:

You should totally make Twilight into an alicorn.

You know...because.

812539 812971 Buck it I say.

We'll wait for however long we have to. :pinkiehappy:

813262 perfect excuse to re-read Composure (as if you really need one).

812539
Exactly what I like to hear.

813262
It's the one where Celestia wakes up concussed and confused in a hospital after a magical experiment gone wrong. Also the original Twilestia, more or less.

I claim this thread as my own.

814200

Also yes it is the one with the one chapter that consists of a dream where various ponies walk into the sunset

Is that comic... a parody of A Softer World? Yes, it is! Whoo!

814200 thank you, it's all coming back slowly. yes. this was a really really good one. yay :scootangel:

Ah, this is good news. Composure (along with device's Eternal) was one of the first Twilestia and, indeed, shipfics I came across when entering into the fandom. I enjoyed its premise immensely and have been following it like a hawk since.

But do take your time. The "when it's done" approach always produces top-notch product. :pinkiehappy:

I was re-reading Composure -- trying to untangle chapter 4 -- and I noticed something... After all this time, I wasn't following Varanus. I hit that follow button so hard I'm posting this from a jail cell.

EDIT: Chapter 3, not 4. Silly Tast.
