I write, I draw, and both tend to be a bit grimdark. Hopefully writing ponies will mitigate that somewhat.

    Hey Rusty, What Have You Been Up To?

    Well, for one thing, I've been spending a large amount of time working on THIS with the great Wanderer D. It's a collaboration we've had in the works for a while now, and it's really cool to see part one of it up. I know it's not

    So about them updates...

    No, I'm not dead, and neither is Backwards Through the Mirror. However, some very troubling things have happened of late, and I've had little time or energy to work on writing.

    Graduated!

    As of May 25th, 2013, I have officially graduated with my BA: Art, Concentration in Studio Practice, Preparation for Teaching. It's been seven years in the making, and a great deal has altered in my life since I first arrived on my campus. I met my first boyfriend there, my first girlfriend, established an unsavory reputation and then rose above it. I met the girl I'm going to marry there, and

    Guess who's a silly pony.

    I am!

    So you know that next chapter of BTtM I kept promising? Well, I went and convinced myself I'd posted it five days ago, and I was all bummed that no one was commenting. Then I went and looked at my page, to poke at it and check for any comments I may have missed, or stray up-votes... And lo and behold, I went and forgot to post the silly thing!

    So I just noticed...

    The bulk of the referrals for BTtM (thank you whoever started using that acronym), come from facebook, but I've got no idea why. I don't have a facebook page, so it's next to impossible for me to figure out which page they came from, but like over 100 of them are from some facebook page.

Edits! · 11:51pm Jun 5th, 2012

So, the amount of typos and inconsistencies in Backwards Through the Mirror has reached critical mass (or critical mess) and it's time for some editing! Unfortunately, I have only the one editor to help me, who is writing his own stories and working and so forth... So this might take a while.

To make it more clear when chapters are edited, I'll be updating the titles of the chapters as I edit them thoroughly. So Reflections of Innocence would become Reflected Innocence or something else I feel appropriate.

I'll be posting one last chapter before I start the big huge overhaul, then I can get to writing the last couple of sections!

Yes, that's right, the finale approaches! It's going to be big! Epic! Bigepic! I intend to post teaser images of the finale after the edits are done, and maybe a couple of the sequel, Echoes of Reflections, which is in the works but already about 15 pages in.

But, that aside, edits! They're coming! Which means no updates for a while, sadly, but hey! All those things I left out, they're going to be in there!

I can try to do some editing as well

If you need editors, I've got plenty of free time.

Holy moly! Really, we are close to the end?

On one hand, that is awesome! I love seeing an ending! On the other hand, that is terrible! I don't want it to end! :pinkiecrazy:

Either way, it has been one hell of a ride. :yay:

This is a story I would make time to edit :twilightsmile: or at least pre-read. BTW I plugged your story in the latest 'How to' :scootangel:

Blank line separated paragraphs, please? It helps with the readablity of downloaded text.

I can't wait for the next chapter and also the edits you will be making. The two things I would like to see through the edits would be a calender date. This would make it much easier to grasp the time frame of the story events. I would also like to see how Twilight was captured just for the heck of it.:twilightsmile:

No pressure of course.

Why thank you! I'll probably take y'all up on that, I really need help with grammar, which has never been my strong suit in creative writing, and consistency issues. Drop me a PM if yer seriously interested so I don't forget please! :twilightblush:

And I saw, Wanderer D! T'was most surprising, but I'm happy you feel my story's a good representation of the dark genre. :twilightsmile:

I've been getting that a lot, I'll put that in too.

Calendar's doable, but it might be weird since the Hedge exists sorta wonky with time. Definitely doable. And I'd intended to put in the details of Twilight's capture anyway, but couldn't decide on a good place to do so. I've got one now, but I was waiting for editing to commence.

Sounds good! When do you plan to start the edits?

158489
As soon as I can get the next chapter up and running, so in a day or so.

Awsome, you'll definitely be getting a PM from me then! Also, congrats on an absolutely amazing and unique story so far!
