Chapter 3 is LIVE! · 9:18pm Jun 7th, 2012
A whopping 3/4 weeks, 21 pages, 8.4k words and a couple of days of editing here and there and chapter 3 is FINALLY done and ready for your consumption! Sorry it took a while but as you can see, I put a crap ton of material into this chapter.
First off, I'd like to thank my pre-readers once again for doing a great job helping me with the writing, spitballing ideas and helping me develop scenes and whatnot as I went along. Worth further praise is Cerulean, another writer here on FIMFic who did a FANTASTIC job going over my fic and doing an incredibly in depth check on the chapter for errors, grammar, spelling, etc.
The chapter was a very necessary departure from Trixie as the COMPLETE and SOLITARY focus of the story for the sake of developing the other characters a bit, specifically for Starlight Sonata and Tempest. Most notable are the scenes involving Elusive and Dusk Shine, but I had the most fun writing Dusk Shine's little argument with his sister Shimmer Shield. In the end, I think having the focus off of Trixie and kinda making her a 'secondary' character to the story was a good call, let me get a good idea of how to establish everyone else's behavior!
And apology in advance for the unexpectedly LONG chapter, I just ended up having so much I wanted to put in that I couldn't stop. I'll try and keep chapters a little shorter this time but hopefully the long wait will be made up for by this extra meat filled chapter.
Uh, can't think of much else to comment on. Hope you guys like the chapter. Feel free to post any questions and the like in the blog comment box or on the story comment box!
