Sorry for the late update, but I'm getting things ready for a move across the country at the end of November. I wasn't too hot on the first draft of the new chapter until I scrapped it completely; now I'm working on a completely new draft and I'm banging out the words. It's a lot more of the type of writing I like doing (action, fighting, describing horrible demonic activity, etc).
Already done with the *11k word* new chapter of Defense, set to go out tomorrow. It's legitimately the best thing I've written in terms of action and adventure that I've posted on this site, and I've been publishing here since 2011.
Miss Sparkle Goes to Canterlot.
Get to it :L
