Confused? Let me help you. Concerning Chapter 15... · 6:28am Jul 9th, 2012


Now, you may be wondering... Why does this go from Chapter 2 to Chapter 15 Part One?

Well, quite simply put... It's by popular demand!

See, everyone wants Chapter Fifteen. Why? Because on Equestria Daily, the first rendition of the first fourteen chapters are already completed. Fimfiction has JUST the Revised chapters.

Anyway, just about everyone has read the first 14 chapters and have been breathing down my neck for Chapter Fifteen. Which is being told BACKWARDS BECAUSE I'M A TROLL.

So enjoy...

tl;dr CardsLafter is trolling the ever living hell out of his readers because he keeps writing what he wants to write instead of what he should write.

Anyway, here's your link back to the chapter. It's going to be out of freaking left field no matter how well acquainted with the story you are. n.n Hope it meets your expectations.


* * * * * * *
Also, if you're new, please go to Equestria Daily to get the other chapters. :3 Try to stomach the bad early writing.

If you can't get to EQD, then try Chapter One! Unrevised! All these chapters link into one another so you shouldn't have a problem picking up where you left off!

[strike]What am I looking at.[/strike]
Well I'm sorry I took a gander at the beta-version of the blog post.
No need to rustle your jimmies on my ignawrance.

REFRESH YOUR PAGE. DO IT, FILLY.

Also, that's creepy... Considering there was only a 60-second blind gap for you to have made it here before it was ready.

168146 A Troll. A big, green, ugly, fire hating troll. Who's pony persona is living fire in every sense of the word. :facehoof:

Well, it's better than nothing. Should be interesting.
Bring it on!

I'M WATCHING YOUR EVERY MOVE LAFTER.

And Shara is new best pony.

Why dont you just post 3-14 here and save us the trouble

FUUUUUUUUUUUU- I haven't and won't read the original. I just want to read the revised version, oh well I will and can wait just continue.

168216

You are a dedicated reader. :) I hope to get you Chapter 3 Revised very soon!

Son of a bitch... so I was waiting for like chapter 3 this whole time but there were already 14 finished chapters?! Aghhh.... now i'm definitely not sleeping tonight.

168218 Yay! Like I said I can and will wait. I have many fics that hardly update, so it's not new to me and I know RL just loves to throw monkey wrenches into the cogs that are my fics I read. (I had to delete a huge inspiring rant... it was WAY over the top)

168216 While I really love this story, I'm kind-of the opposite: I haven't (and probably won't) read the revised chapters. I'm willing to wait for new chapters, there are plenty of other stories to read until then.

168245 To each their own I say. And I agree there is alot of fics to read while we wait for updates.

168251 I say so too. The chapters are good but they're pretty long, and I have a massive backlog of tracked stories to read.

:flutterrage::flutterrage::flutterrage:

YOU ARSE.
I AM LOVING AND HATING YOU AT THE SAME TIME. THIS SHOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE.

Lafter,
You have made my month, I have been hoping you would gift us with this forever ago! :pinkiehappy:
I know it's sudden, and you don't have to give an answer right away, but... will you marry me? :rainbowkiss:

How long will it take you to release all of the parts for chapter 15? I want to wait for them all so I can read it properly, but I don't think I can wait much longer. :fluttershysad:

I've read the original 14 chapters, but I will stay strong and follow the revised edition :pinkiecrazy:

But... now what happens when revised Chapter 3 is done? The story goes 1, 2, 15.1, 3?


Oh, so that's wh-
"Which is being told BACKWARDS BECAUSE I'M A TROLL."

My jimmies are rustled.

In the words of the shyest pony ever "Yay."!

Is this the sequel to your unreleased short story we voted for on DeviantArt?

Jimmies status:
[ ] Rustled
[ ] At east
[x] I'm going to allow this

Also, for some reason, every time I see your avatar, all I can think is that just out of frame, Firewall has just trodden on a LEGO brick.

168159 Cards, I appreciate the work you are doing rewriting the story, but if you are going to put chapter 15 here, you may as well give us the rest on fimfiction as well. Then you can replace them as you rewrite them

Epic fic is epic. What else can be said?

I hadn't even noticed until I saw the link and looked again.

also, I can't go to Equestria daily. My internet keeps freezing when I do. :trixieshiftright:

I doubt I will be too suprised by anything you throw at us by this point Cards.

So...
you're writing two stories right now: The original TTEoAP and the revamped story?
That doesn't make any sense, but then again what fun is there in making sense?

Either way, we still get our daily amounted dose of shenanigans!

Well.... Fuck!

How long has it been since chapter fifteen hasn't been published... 4 months?

Well it seems we're gonna need to wait for a few more.:derpytongue2:

Me? confused? Pfft, as if. I read Homestuck which has the KING of Trolling authors.

But I never bothered you... I liked rereading the revised version! I'd rather wait. You wouldn't mind if I waited, would you? :twilightsmile:

If you start reading a fanfiction with low expectations, you're going to have a good time.

I'm not reading chapter 15 until you put out the other chapters. It won't make any sense to me if its out of context like this. Sorry.

So....can we expect Part Two...tomorrow???

Please, you could just add the whole story here?
I find reading on FIMFiction much easier on the eyes and the concentration. EQD just pisses me off.. With the story set-up i mean

Well I'm glad you're not going to be giving up on the re-write, but I do think people would appreciate it if it was finished before you started doing too much with TTEoAP 2: Electric Scootaloo. Finish the base and fix what's broken before you go adding too many new features and building up, and all that rot. I can sympathize with wanting to do more on coming up with new stuff than reworking old stuff, but much like Sweetie Belle messing up Rarity's "Organized Chaos," you might end up with some even better ideas to use in part 2 (and a better sense of what to avoid doing, and more importantly, how to avoid it) once you get part 1all ship-shape. It's amazing the things you can find when you go through and clear all the clutter and cobwebs.

Also, rather than directing people to EqD, you could probably make another blog post here with direct links to all of the Google docs, could you not?
One thing I'm not sure about, though, is whether it might be better to hold off on having Ch.15 here (and having it on Google Docs instead, for now) until the rest is re-written. Since it's not (yet) a continuation of the story you're telling here (that people here are waiting for and watching you here for), it might be better to put it where it is a continuation (on Google Docs and EQD, if you haven't submitted it already). This could work with having the other original chapters linked in a blog post here.

I can sort of understand if you were posting it here to draw attention to it, but everyone who is following the original iteration should also be following your activity on Deviant Art, and are familiar enough with just watching for your blog updates both here and on DA. Posting it here sends something of a false signal when we receive a notification of a new chapter in our watch list, only to find it's not the chapter we were expecting to see come next on FimFiction.

*Reads original chapters*
You shouldn't degrade yourself that much. I mean, the writings' not that bad. It's like what someone would actually write if they were thrown into a random TV show. It doesn't even really need a rewrite. Well, at least what I've read so far. The quality may just be me though, considering some of the things I've read (Don't ask. Just. Don't. Ask.). At least the writing is better than the beginning of... certain other things I've read. Namely, one where one pair's shipping takes... eleven chapters. Somehow. And at least you're trying to fix the early grammar/writing mistakes (which my prereader eyes apparently cannot spot for some reason.). The other story still has spelling and grammar errors, including ones in the newest chapters. Hint: said story has 140 chapters (including multi-parts and bonus chapters, which aren't counted in the counter at the beginning of each chapter) as of now, and is rated Mature. You know the one...

However, as the story on this website already has over five pages of comments after only three chapters, and I assume a similar thing will happen with this blog post, you may not read my comment at all. It doesn't really matter, as someone else probably already said what I'm saying right now. I guess I'll just keep reading. Whew, long post.
168840 Erhm... wat?

I read all the comments! It's very important to take in all the feedback and reflect upon the reactions of others. As a big lover of psychology, it's quite enjoyable to sit back and analyze everything all at once. It's helps to gauge what I've done and why it's brought me every response that it has. :3

And there are more reasons to do the rewrite other than just cleaning it up. Promise~! :3

So. . . the whole story is going to be done, right? Or is this going to be like Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu and I need a wiki to find out which episode is next chronologically?

172940

That made me laugh. A lot. :rainbowlaugh:

And no, when I get it all written out, I'm going to fix this mess. Trust me when I say, if I could write what I prefer to write instead of what I want to write, it would be in order. In triplicate. And would be garnished with a monocle. :pinkiehappy:

Sadly, though, I am a slave to my passions. :ajbemused:

Backwards? Backwards how? There are several different kings of backwards.

You don't need a rewrite. You need a good eye to do a thrice over and fix the few errors I've spotted, and to finish that next chapter. I'll be honest, your summary on here just doesn't cut it. You make it sound like the story is bad going in. It's not. It starts out as what is quite possibly one of the most accurate representations of a real-life HiE I have seen in a long time, and then progresses with a very believable and unexpected twist. That turnabout came so far out of left field and barreled into me so hard I had to shake its hand at a job well done. (After three days of recovery, of course.)
Chapter Fourteen left me a bit dazed near the end. I wasn't sure if David knew what had happened to Luna, yet. About the phone? It didn't sound like he did, and that seemed like a perfectly good reason for why Luna wouldn't hesitate to kill David. The Internet is corrupting.
I would volunteer to do the post-Beta rewrite, but I'm sadly busy. :fluttershysad: Sorry.

what?! no! EqD crashes my comp!

Hold right there, good sir!


...Will the 3rd to 14th chapters ever be released on FimFiction? Because, if they aren't, well... I'm not sure if it's worth it to track the story. I mean, after the two (amazing, mind you) chapters released on Fimfiction, I was hyped. But... If I do track the story, it'll be for what, thirteen chapters ahead?

mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/rsz/mlfw5364_small.jpg

...Yes, my good sir, my Jimmies have been rustled. Only slightly, however.

191426

Sorry to rustle your jimmies! XD And yes, the rest of the story will be rewritten. Promises. :3 And it will be posted here.

192139

:yay:

That is all. Thanks for clearing it up!
