Author’s notes: Assumptions VI: Try To Hide It · 11:55pm Jan 7th, 2012
Did you know?
The newest episode destroyed my headcanon regarding the Granny Smith story I was working on. Oh well, only three chapters down the drain, but I think the concept is still salvageable…
I feel kind of bad for making Rarity so manipulative, but she has proven herself to be capable of manipulation and refusing to suffer fools…
Zecora will turn up again in the last chapter…
I hated Zecora’s way of talking, but after writing her I realized you have to be really brave (the initial metaphor was not PG 13 enough) to speak in rhyme…
In my headcanon (and therefore this story), Zecora’s actually middle-aged…
If you don’t get the Isaac Newton/apple joke, you are either very young, or should pay more attention to physical anecdotes during science/physics class…
I don’t really see Caramel as extremely shy or too clumsy. I see him as someone slightly cynical and withdrawn, awkward and occasionally clumsy…
I still don’t know whether to give FlutterMac a happy end in this fic, or do a one-hot spin-off later…
Chapter VII was quite difficult to write, and will need one serious edit before being published next week…
If anyone is interested in being a prereader/editor, let me know, my current one is kind of swamped at the moment, and it’s always good to have a second opinion anyway…
WARNING: Self-promotion incoming!
I have started a tumblr, since all the cool kids have it (I’ve had a personal tumblr for ages, but this one will only be poni related stuff). So if you’re interested to know some of my feeble opinions and upcoming future projects (be they artistic or literary) go to eminencegris.tumblr.com All SFW (not much there yet, to be honest).
Self promotion finished!

And more, but I don’t want to spoil it…
