    I Have Been Lazy

    Gonna admit that straight-up. I haven't been working as much as I should. Not entirely because I lack motivation, though.

    An Update

    Just throwing this up here. I've went home for summer vacation for a while, and between going out with friends (you know, the entire point of the show this website is based off of) and studying for my driver's license (which I really need to actually do more), I haven't been able to write much dumb shit.

    But I haven't abandoned you all. Not yet.

    Entering Low Power Mode

    Long story short, real life sort of got in the way, so I'm putting the stories here on hiatus while I write an actual story.
    One I can sell.
    For money.
    Sorry guys.

    This Will End Well

    Greetings, travellers!

    I haven't been doing a lot of writing lately - I'm a lazyass and XCOM: Enemy Unknown (FUCK YOU ETHEREALS) isn't helping. But! I've decided that to keep my inspiration for stories fresh, I'll start working on three at once! How can this end badly at all?

    Many ways. But here is what I will be attempting to work on;

    Betta Fish Readers Wanted

    And like a miracle in the snow, it's Sparty, finally waking his ass up again to write things for stories!

    But some of the betareaders I used to have... not exactly looking good. They've been busy with life and I've been busy with not writing and giving them a reason to come on.

    So. Who wants to help betaread Gate Hunters Wanted? Who already has and wants to keep their jobs! Step up!

Large Chapter, or Larger Chapter? · 2:48am Jul 25th, 2013

So I have finished writing the "human" part of the second chapter. I plan for there to be a part focusing on ponies.
There's... just a bit of a problem.
Without the whorse slice-of-life, the chapter weighs in at about 7.5k words.
So, I'm gonna ask you, the readers. Do you want me to split the chapter in two and submit what I've made so far (which is ready to be released), or do you want the chapter to stay as is?

Hmmmm.......
How much do you think you would write for the pony side?
It might be feasible to split it if it is around the same size.

That said, am I no longer in da loop? :fluttershysad:
I thought I was one of your pre-readers.....:fluttercry:

1234016: I'm asking because on the one hand it's ready, but on the other hand I'd like to give the viewers the choice of what they want to see.
The finished chapter is still submitted for betareads once compleated.

Ok...I'm still loved. :heart:

I like Fluffy's idea. If it does look like each half would be about the same length then just submit each half as its own chapter. If the pony side looks like it would be less words then just slam it into the other one and release it as one whole chapter.

Whichever you do is fine as long as I get to read it at some point.
