    Buckle Up

    New chapter is entering revision phase. As per my last blog post, please use spoiler tags where appropriate.

    Also buckle up. It's going to be a wild ride.

    Concerning Spoilers

    I would like to remind readers of Equestrian Horizon that spoilers in comments should be covered with the requisite markup tags or avoided in the first place. This will be relevant now more than ever. Just saying.

    Took another detour before heading back in on Equestrian Horizon.

    Defect

    Things I discovered writing this piece:

    • I suck at naming stories and chapters.
    • I suck at writing synposes.
    • I cannot post pieces to FiMFiction without titles or synposes, so my terrible ones will have to suffice.
    • I only have a partial idea of how to write Tempest, but also a desire to do so which is infuriating.

    I'm not dead

    So I got sucked into Final Fantasy XIV and left Equestrian Horizon to languish unfinished. Then my computer died.

    All data is safely backed up on separate drives or in the cloud but I am sans gaming rig for the time being. I am still going to attempt to finish EH by the end of the year. The next chapter, Ouroboros, is done and currently in the proofing and revision phase.

    Onward.

Chapter Format and August Update · 12:10am Aug 11th, 2014

After some consideration, I have decided to change how I handle chapters. Though I like to create monolithic works as much as possible to maintain narrative consistency, I realize that this has the potential to adversely affect my readers. Most people don't want to sit down and read a 12k word chapter for a story that only updates every 3 months.

I've decided to break my chapters down by scenes and instead of rendering them as "chapters" I will start referring to them as "arcs." Each arc will carry the same narrative quantity as a chapter, but will be broken down into parts, each part being a scene from the chapter.

This new format is intended to do two things: encourage me to write more and promote readership. I will be focusing on developing smaller chunks faster and improving my release schedule so that my readers will have regular content updates to look forward to.

Extant chapters will be kept as they are. The change in chapter formatting will only apply to subsequent chapters. Hopefully this will help out everyone participating in this process.

Happy reading, everypony!
