Sarcasm is delicious, dry-wit is capricious, prose is judicious, and I'm total sucker for a good pun.

Ch. 39 and 40 revised. · 10:35pm Aug 2nd, 2015


I completely redid Ch.39 & 40 of Chrysalis wins.

Again I'd like to thank all of you for your comments. I'm much happier with the redone versions. And now I have new plans for making things move forward.

It pretty much consumed my mind for the last 2 days or so, and I hope to hear from you soon.

All I can do is ask forgiveness :fluttershyouch:

Dude chill. It can't have been THAT bad.

Well, several people who have regulary commented and enjoyed the story threatened to leave. Some other guy posted his first comment ever, only to say his enjoyment of the story took a serious nosedive.

And everyone actually agreed with lordofmyth of once...

It felt pretty bad to me.

threatened to leave.

Dude seriously though... don't succumb to blackmails. I've seen stories get cancelled because some guy listened too much to the audience.

3289875 it was more then just one. Several readers of the sotry made the same arguement. Sometimes an arc idea or even a story idea doesn't work out. I redid one of my stories and it was much better as a result.

3289985 Sure but answering to blackmail is not good. You need to be your own master and not at the whim of the readers.

3289988 but you don't always know to do the right thing. Say you make an item, it's the best item you have ever made but if it's opposite want the customer wants then was it a good thing to make? We may not be buying things in this site but readers are customers. many of us like the story overall but that arc just was killing it for the story. Yes as an author his is the final word on a story but that also means the consequences are also his. Now he has redone these chapters and likes it better then the old version. That's a good start and I'll see how the revision is.

When you got SEVERAL people have the same problem on a story then you have to take notice on what is going on.

3290008 Which is why if anything changes it mustn't be because the audience said it. But because you did.

3290022 the audience did. several said so. we all want this story to succeed not do an M Light Shamerion twist.

You didn't need to ask forgiveness for writing your story the way you want.
Though, with that said I do like the new chapters better. Good show old chap.

I suppose I don't need to be apologetic, but, ya... I didn't really feel to excited about where I was going with it. So I'm turning back towards the more comedic tone. I need something to laugh about at the end of the day. And the original ch. 40 had nothing funny.

Oh, and M. Night Shinaminmananmeinam (I can't stop mispronouncing his name anymore, the joke is too much. :rainbowwild:)

3290030 i dont know who that is. What i am saying is that while you must take criticism you still steer the boat.
3290107 Okay now you need to tell me what happened.

Also no. Conedic tone is suited for many things but occupation by changelings? Nah. Not entirely at least.

3290116 have you read this story? It has had a slice of comedy since the begining. Yes it's slightly dark by the fact the changelings won in this but did never went grim dark till last arc.

3290123 I didnt insult you. Yes I have. But still not as comedic as to be overbearing.

3290134 no but to make it light it did have that. Like i said it went seriously grim dark in those two chapters.

3290138

did you read the revisions yet?

3290138 a mood whiplash not done well can kill the pacing.

3290148 that pretty much what happened.

3290152 I read them.

But do bear in mind the brain damage given by Luna. Worse than murder/death.

3289839 Well, that's what readers are for right? Even though threatening to drop the story sounds like a bummer, you can't really force them to read a story that they aren't enjoying anymore can you?

3290846

Yep, it's better that they spoke up than just left.

In this case I don't feel it was whimsyness that led to changes. There just needed to be changes
