    Assumptions X: Post-chapter notes

    Wow, what a week that was.

    Thanks everyone for the comments on the last chapter.

    Anyway, have some trivia:

    I called Cheerilee's mouse Mickey. I truly have no imagination. Why a mouse? I really don't know, but I mentioned it elsewhere.

    In two weeks, I managed to write one new paragraph of Demise. YAY!

    Assumptions IX: Post-chapter notes

    This chapter took me too long to write. Initially, I had how to continue this chapter, especially since the first scene and the last paragraph are essentially the most important things. Otherwise, it's a bit of a filler, really.

    Anyway, onto notes:

    Assumption VIII: Post chaper notes

    I have already expressed my wish to stay true to canon, as much as possible. Which might mean no happy ending for FlutterMac. I'll also be in the middle of a rather busy time now (moving my stuff from place X to my parents' place, the going skiing next week, and then moving to a new place. This might sound trivial, but the whole operation covers three countries, and skiing with my fanatical

    Assumptions Chapter VII: Post Chapter Notes

    Did you know:
    I wish I was a way better writer. That walk that Dash and Caramel took could have been the most romantic vision ever in the hands of a skilled artist/writer. I imagined a winter date in Paris when I was writing it, to be honest.

Assumptions III: Post-Chapter III Blog post · 7:53am Dec 18th, 2011

Thanks again for sticking with me. Have a blog post!
Did you know?
… the story starts branching out here. I decided to sneak in a bit more drama, and twisting fanon as much as I can (don’t worry, I don’t believe half of it myself).
… also, don’t worry, the subplots will keep on intertwining, although Rainbow Dash and Caramel will receive most attention…
… reviewing the story, I found out that it would benefit from an extra chapter before the currently planned chapter IV. Hopefully, I’ll be able to put the new Chapter IV and Chapter V (Formerly chapter IV) during X-mas.
… Big Mac x “yet unnamed filly” is my OTP, find out who she is in Chapter V…
… Chapter VII will be most likely be X-mas themed, I’m waiting for the episode, so that I can write it more according to canon, but I might include some OCs as side characters…
… Chapters I & II were slightly edited and might be edited once more in order to get them to EQD. You can read them again and give me comments, but a reread is not essential as of now…
… I’m currently listening to Bjork, hoping some of her weird poetic qualities will trickle down into my work…
… speaking of music, I only have one pony track on my iPhone. It’s 20 percent cooler by Ken Ashcorp
… I fought with my proofreader to include the Pinkie scene. It was originally written so that Pinkie would come across as a very easy. I’ve toned it down, but I still think he still disapproves…
... the more I read Of Feathers and Scales, the more I feel my work is essentially empty,badly written fluff. Seriously, this guy's good…
... during the early drafts, I’d listen to Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!) by Garbage when writing Caramel…
… incidentally, a friend of mine once said that that song reminded her of me…
… my first and shelved idea for a FIM story was an AU Grimdark crossover featuring Tyrant Celestia. It revealed the secret of her eternal youth, it was going to be called “Blood Goddess”. It’ll never see the light of day. Ask me about it if you want to know…
… the author would like your comment about anything that you think needs work. Showing vs. telling, tone, character development etc. are all things to look out for. I want to improve for all our sakes. Call me out on any lameness you see, or suggest what topics I might be able to handle better with my current style…
… I really want to have over 9000 views at the end of this fic. It’s a vanity thing…

Since the new Chapter IV isn’t written yet, I can give you a sneak peek from the new Chapter V (that used to be Chapter IV)

Assumptions V: If I Ran Away
Messing around with Twilight in the library. I guess it’s true what they say, he really is a player…
- Fluttershy’s thoughts
>>
“Then why don’t you eat it with somepony who cares?”
- Caramel
>>
“I’m just thinking that for the weakling that you are, you’re pretty awesome.”
- Rainbow Dash
>>
“What have you done to Scootaloo?”
- Rarity
