A Hello, and plans for "Rarity Snuggles Everypony." · 6:51am Jun 7th, 2014
Greetings to my batch of new watchers, old friends and supporters, as well as the hundreds of you that have favorited "Rarity Snuggles Everypony (Whether They Like It Or Not)." I'm Props, the author of the aforementioned story, and I come before you today to stand humbled by reaching the feature box of FimFiction, and rising to the top of said box. Thank you all, so much, for reading and enjoying this silly story enough to give me your support from upvotes and views. Thank you, all!
The other night, my inspiration finally struck, and I completed the last two chapters of the first arc of "Rarity Snuggles Everypony" in a burst of inspiration. It mostly has to do with the fact that I'm out of school, now. I've just recently graduated from college, and I've discovered that I have a lot of extra time on my hands. That extra time is being slowly translated into more free time to write.
So, here we are, now. I've got a story at the top of the feature box, and I'm certain that three-hundred of you (Plus another 700 or so that read without favoriting, perhaps adding to the read later list?) are wondering when the next installment will be arriving. Here's your answer: as soon as possible. I've already started working on the second arc of the story, and the second arc will probably end up being a little longer than the first arc, so around another 12,000 words or so, or roughly 30 pages of work. I love this story dearly, and it's been something that I've been putting time into between classes and mulling in the back of my head for months, slowly writing and refining. I've found the 'thread', of the story, now, and that means my job is less about "finding the thread" and more about "following the thread to see where it ends up". I've got an end in mind, and all the rest of the story is laid out, and now it simply goes down to writing.
And write I shall. I hope to have the rest of the story done within a week to two weeks. I might put it up a chapter at a time, updating as I work and edit, or I might simply drop it all in a big bundle again, neatly wrapping up the story in one day of posting, like I did with the first arc of the story. I'll see how I feel after the next chapter or two are done. If I feel the chapters can be posted bit-by-bit, then I'll probably do that. If I feel that they all need to be posted simultaneously, then I'll do that.
So, look forward to updates, and soon. I have a desire to finish this story quickly, before jumping back into a few of my larger works and getting chapters for those done as well.
Here's a few interesting things:
1000 views and over 200 upvotes in the first day. Wow.
416 notifications in one day, 308 of which were notifications for people favoriting "Rarity Snuggles Everypony", and 23 of which are new watcher notifications. Hello to my 23 new watchers! Thank you for following me! I hope that you'll enjoy other examples of my work, as well.
I'll post an update within the next few days with more information. Until then!

I just really want to know what's causing Rarity to randomly cuddle everyone. It must be a powerful force of nature that could scare even DISCORD.
