IMPORTANT: The 'Flashback Section' of Captain Equestria has been moved to Harmony's Warriors: The Longbox Anthology Vol. 1 · 11:47pm Jun 3rd, 2014
Okay, due to some intense pacing issues, I have moved the first three chapters of Captain Equestria, which detail the death of Applejack's parents, to the Harmony's Warriors Longbox Anthology, Vol. 1.
That way, the main story of Captain Equestria is able to move forward at a better, more brisk pace, but the important backstory information is still easily accessible and able to be read at a moment's notice.
It's still completely canon, it's just been moved to a location where it's better serviced instead of bogging down the first third of Captain Equestria, which, quite honestly had serious pacing issues that needed to be fixed.
Hopefully you all don't mind.
Don't mind at all, bro. You did what you had to do for the sake of the story, and that's just fine with me.
Well done, Ben. Well done.
