    Assumptions X: Post-chapter notes

    Wow, what a week that was.

    Thanks everyone for the comments on the last chapter.

    Anyway, have some trivia:

    I called Cheerilee's mouse Mickey. I truly have no imagination. Why a mouse? I really don't know, but I mentioned it elsewhere.

    In two weeks, I managed to write one new paragraph of Demise. YAY!

    Assumptions IX: Post-chapter notes

    This chapter took me too long to write. Initially, I had how to continue this chapter, especially since the first scene and the last paragraph are essentially the most important things. Otherwise, it's a bit of a filler, really.

    Anyway, onto notes:

    Assumption VIII: Post chaper notes

    I have already expressed my wish to stay true to canon, as much as possible. Which might mean no happy ending for FlutterMac. I'll also be in the middle of a rather busy time now (moving my stuff from place X to my parents' place, the going skiing next week, and then moving to a new place. This might sound trivial, but the whole operation covers three countries, and skiing with my fanatical

    Assumptions Chapter VII: Post Chapter Notes

    Did you know:
    I wish I was a way better writer. That walk that Dash and Caramel took could have been the most romantic vision ever in the hands of a skilled artist/writer. I imagined a winter date in Paris when I was writing it, to be honest.

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 I see him as someone slightly cynical and withdrawn, awkward and occasionally clumsy…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!

Assumptions Chapter VII: Let Me Be Your Guide, Sneak Preview

“You always have a choice, you could throw her out. But you don’t. What do you think that means?”
- Lucky

Now why Twilight couldn’t use her magic to close the window is beyond me.
- Rainbow Dash

“Don’t tell me you never tried catching snowflakes in your mouth as a kid.”
- Caramel

“Well, I’ll be damned. Our little Mel and a filly. Who’d have thought he’d ever get this far.”
- Chance-A-Lot

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