    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.

Assumptions Chapter VII: Post Chapter Notes · 2:20am Jan 15th, 2012

There was a time I felt really bad for making Caramel straight, since he’s become a bit of a mascot for the colt-cuddlers out there. So yeah, I made his big brother into one.
You notice that despite his size, Chance-A-Lot isn’t exactly the dominant pony we’d expect him to be. Yay for subverting stereotypes, I think...
Even though Dash is very dere is this chapter, it’s only because it’s Hearth’s Warming. She’ll be her old self before the end…
I’m really starting to like this ship myself.
I’ve already decided on a “song” for Caramel and Dash as well as Fluttershy and Mac. Especially the FlutterMac one is very sweet, sentimental, although somewhat explicit. I'll post it later, or you can ask.

Preview Assumptions Chater VIII:

“At least Ah don’t treat ‘im like dirt half th’ time.”
- Applejack (kind of)

“You… you burnt the tea… I didn’t even know that was possible…”
- Caramel

“Eeyup”
- Big Macintosh (several times)

“Angel bunny, could you please fetch the first aid kit?”
- Fluttershy

“It should be so effortless. Like, like talking to you.”
- Caramel

Big Mac is going to be unusually loquacious in the next chapter, I see. :pinkiehappy:

I think you need to speed things up a little. This many chapters with this many words, and I still don't feel Caramel even thinking twice about Dash. Just a suggestion. You're the author, and I'm entertained, so you do what you want. :twilightsmile:

As always.

He's warming up to her, and he is a little thick when it comes to mares. He did give her a gift and they do share very intimate moments now and then through the story. It just sort of creeps in without him noticing, really, despite what he says, she's his best friend at the moment and he really wants her to be happy, but he's not conscious of it. But don't worry, he'll come around soon enough (the first scene of the next chapter, actually, kind of), as well as the closing scene. There will be 13 chapters in total (I know I said 12, but that's not enough to cover the course of events and would make it too rushed), but I might release 12 and 13 simultaneously, just like I did with Chapters 4 and 5. I'm hoping the next chapter will be to your liking.

I'm pretty comfortable with how quickly things are progressing, to be honest. As you say, they're just finishing a move from strangers to friends, and from there to love isn't so much of a leap.
