Assumptions IV and V: Post-Chapter Ramblings · 11:11pm Dec 25th, 2011
Did you know…?
… my X-Mas was quite good…
… this fandom is starting to make me feel old, even if I’m not that old…
… Chapter IV was quite difficult to write, as it’s an insertion into an established story arc…
… writing Cutie Mark Crusaders was difficult, their antics don’t really fit this story, but they were quite useful nonetheless…
… Caramel’s siblings will probably make an appearance in Chapter VII (X-Mas Chapter)…
… Chapters I and II went through the editing machine again. This time courtesy of LogicianMLP from Ponychan Training Grounds. Give him a round of applause for trying to polish the story and offering tips which I’ll do my best to follow in the future…
… I hope to do more research on a more minimal literary style and stream of consciousness, since that seems like a good thing to focus on. Maybe not in this story, but definitely later…
… the titles of the all the chapters are pieces of lyrics picked from songs by a certain artists. Guess or ask if you care…
… the book Big Macintosh was borrowing in Chapter V was entitled An Advanced Mathematical Theory of Applied Agricultural Harvesting Methods. It might become a plot point in the later chapters…
… I fully intend to make Rainbow Dash’s celery a running joke…
… the two colts that bothered Fluttershy were meant to be Snips and Snails. Ever since the Trixie episode, I only see them as obnoxious, easily-influenced fan boys…
… these two chapters are a bit bland, but they are just build up to the next chapter, which currently sits at 4500 words.

N.B.: Nothing dirty happens. Honest.
I will put out this chapter after the next one (chapter VII) will be written, which will take about a week, but might be more, due to holiday plans (lots of travelling around).
And why two chapters at once? Because X-Mas! Enjoy it!
