A quick update on the next HTTYFYDAC chapter · 10:19pm Dec 14th, 2013
Well the chapter should be finished before December, possibly even Christmas. The good news is that I'm about 75% done with it. To prove it, here is a small section from chapter 4. (Note: The section below is unedited)
“I-I’m so-sorry. You probably don’t remember me, but we’ve met before. My name is Question Mark.”
Rainbow narrowed her eyes, and in a flash, she remembered. “Oh, yeah. You’re that detective who moved here a while. What’s up?” She said, a bit friendlier.
“Oh… um, I’m fine I suppose, just thought I’d have a drink.”
“Bad memories, huh?” Question was taken aback by this, but he assumed she was speaking from experience. He shuffled in his seat, trying to think of a response.
“I suppose you could say that. It will be the anniversary of a… well, dark part of my life I suppose you could say, very soon. That’s not why I came to talk to you though.” He cleared his throat suddenly feeling a little parch. He avoided taking a drink of his whisky though; he could be a bit of a lightweight when it came to alcohol. “I was wondering why a mare such as yourself is sitting here drinking alone?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Question instantly regretted saying them. Rainbow’s face morphed into a venomous glare that cut straight through the stallion. Daedalus made an ‘eep’ like sound as he took a few steps backwards, waiting to see what would happen next. “What do you mean, “a mare like me”?”
“Oh-uh, well I…” knowing he may be on the verge of having his flank kicked, Question opted for honesty. “I mean… a mare as beautiful as you. I just thought it was odd you were on your own is all.”
The harsh gaze Rainbow wore immediately softened when she realised he wasn’t joking. Then her cheeks began to feel a little hotter. She looked forward, avoiding eye contact as she mumbled, “You serious?”
“Of course, I don’t lie. I’m detective, I always seek the truth.”
“At the beginning and at the end of love, the two lovers are embarrassed to find themselves alone.”
- Jean de la Bruyere
I live the detective's name. And I might catch up on this story eventually.
YES! A new chapter! From the sounds of this, the chapter should be good.
*looks at date* huh, 14th of December
I feel smart for figuring this out.
I squeed.
AHHH SPOILERS!
"Oh look, the element of Loyalty."
"I'm gonna hit on her."

Yeeah, I totally didn't until I opened it. Next time, Carnage, just use "Dating A Changeling"
1609591 There's plenty of people who just used the initials in the comments, do I started doing it
1609591 OH! Is that what carnage meant by those initials? I have too many authors to keep track of so figuring that out would have probably required looking at carnage's user page, had you not said that.
Edit:dammit carnage I can't even edit before you reply. See reply for what I was going to say.
1609686 Alright, I wont you initials anymore then
1609688 damn you replied fast (40 seconds!).
Yeah the key is "Dating a changeling"
As for what I was going to say in an edit of my other comment when suddenly I saw a reply notification:
"oh and yay :flutteryay: more dating a changeling" (my phone doesn't show the smiley icons and I couldn't find the right code for Fluttershy's yay face)
1609706 I just happened to be on, but someone makes a comment, I make a point to reply as soon as possible.
1609711 that's what I thought. 40s is still pretty fast though.
1609718 Eh, just lucky I guess
