Another 2POTN Update · 10:44pm Jul 9th, 2014
Eight chapters left to polish, then continuation of the story will commence. Though there were only a few voters, it seems Lunar Pearl is voted pony to receive her own side-line story. I figured it would have been her or Shade Flare. Even though I did not build him up much or reveal how he got into this mess, I do have plans for him to be more involved with the story and be more than just a second in command. While the polishing has only touched him up slightly, I do plan to make him more prevalent in the story. But I don't want to pull away from Ruby/Twilight very much, and he may just have to wait until I make decent headway with other side stories before he receives his own, Lunar Pearls being the newest edition. Also, some exciting news. I have requested a cover art for this story from an artist I quite like, and am awaiting word back on a initial draft. I am hoping it goes through as I think it will be pretty neat.
Which leads me to my next question, once I am done polishing, should I do one big update, or begin releasing new chapters? I can either hold off new chapters, get a few of them written out and neat looking, and begin releasing them once the coverart is done, as well as some chapters for the currently planned side-stories, Hunter, Slayer, Corpse being one of them. Or, I can begin releasing new chapters as I write them, and include the other updates as they come along. To be honest, as much as I want to do one big update because I think that would be pretty cool, I would find it hard to not release ready-to-read chapters, as the wait for everything to be gathered and put into order might be a bit.
Though I know it's a silly thing to get excited over (never thought I would over MLP fanfiction) I feel so happy to bring you guys more content. Please know that everything you all have done has helped, and I am so glad you enjoy my writing. Though I understand not wanting to reread the story, I am hoping this polishing of grammar and a few new scenes helps this story become much more enjoyable. So far it's looking to not change the length of the story in any significant way, as I have been learning to cut a lot of exposition save ones I feel necessary, and have been replacing them with scenes and/or dialogue. Let me know in the comments what you think, and I hope everyone has been having a wonderful day
Senyu, I have never commented on your blog posts, but I've been reading them for some time. And it's looks clear to me only by reading your writing that you are happier. And it's great that you are getting at least some of that happiness by sharing your stories with us.
I haven't read all of your stories, but I'll do my best to do so. I would love keep hearing from you, and always with this tone.
I think you should release chapters. It'd be like giving someone a bunch of small desserts, with each one getting better than the last.
Missed you, Senyu! Glad you are feeling happy again
2270466 Thank you so much. I don't know what to say at having such attention, or being able to be read like that, but thank you. Also, some of my happiness is the fact I just recently got two adorable kittens.
2270926 Maybe someday I will do one big update, but doesn't look like anytime soon then
Thanks for the support you two, and I hope you enjoy the content to come.
2271477 Kittens, you say? Is there a video of them? There doesn't seem to be enough of it on Youtube...
2272290 Though it's unedited, here's a short video of them in our new home.
2272363 Aww, they're adorable! Fluttershy would love them!
I wish I could have a pet. But I work all day, so it would be too lonely for him/her. So I prefer just to not have one if it means I can't treat him/her well.
By the way, I started reading your stories, first I'll hit the one-shots and them start getting to the multi chapter ones. I'll comment each after I finish reading it.
Anyway, thank you for posting the video, I hope they make you really happy, and I wish you three only the best!
2272712 If you haven't read Second Princess of the Night, I suggest holding off for a little bit. Just until I finish the polishing so it has less grammatically mistakes. I expect it to be done at the most within a week or so. And yes, they make me happy :)
They also keep me up at night with their purring and playing ontop of my bed covers, such is the price of happiness.
