    An Apple Alone, Completed

    And so it ends. This wasn't exactly a story of epic proportions in terms of writing. Large swaths of the 7+ year period were simply spent not writing it. Either pursing other hobbies or just not having the drive to complete it. It subtly nagged at me every so often, but the largest gap in particular featured time where I all-but-forgot about it. After a couple months into February with the final

    Getting Closer

    Wanted to post another update so that it isn't presumed I just left again. :eeyup: Editing of the final An Apple Alone chapter is still underway. I'd say it's about 70% complete or so. Unless some really long delays happen for no reason (procrastination isn't going to happen -- I want to get this done), expect it to be posted within a week or two.

    Another Year Passes

    And more procrastination was wrought.

    But now...

    Soon this 7+ year journey will come to a close.

    Getting Back Into Gear for the Final Chapter

    It's been a month since I've released the latest chapter of An Apple Alone. After the release (which was built upon many hours of finishing the draft, editing, re-re-re-reading, etc.), I needed a break from the action.

An Apple Alone Chapter 1 Rewrite! · 9:27pm Dec 28th, 2011

Chapter 1 of An Apple Alone was the first piece of fan fiction I ever wrote. As I improved (at least I think I've improved) and subsequent chapters took shape, I started wanting to rewrite the initial chapter. After talking with others, including an EqD prereader, I decided to give it a rewrite. I went over the original content with a fine tooth comb. On top of that (literally) I added a new beginning to help emphasize the Apple family ties and how Apple Bloom's life actually did make a sudden shift. I hope you all find the additions and changes worthwhile and see them as an actual improvement!

I also changed the names of the first two chapters. At first I thought I was going to stick with a company/management motif, but quickly decided to go with a more "coming of age" theme. Hope you find these changes acceptable as well!

I must say that I've really enjoyed this story so far. I don't want to be one of 'those' ponies who constantly badger for updates, but I will say that I do look forward to more Applebloom soon. :pinkiesmile:
