Because why not? I'm leaving out parts of this passage and it's subject to change, but posting it feels like it could be a fun experiment. And for anyone wondering why my chapters need a week of editing, here is a part of the answer.
"Humanity, this is Princess Celestia. I’ve implied certain promises to my current host, the American government, so there are many things I plan to say to you that I won’t say here and now.
I’m leaving this message to explain something I’ve done this morning that news agencies are going to show you, assuming they’re vigilant enough to find out about it. You see, last night, a young woman and her associates—whose names I don’t currently intend to share with the public—kidnapped Princess Luna, my sister, and Mag Wilson, my friend and employee. Don’t worry; I found them and everyone is fine.
In doing so I’m afraid I had to deconstruct a building. I stacked the walls and ceiling neatly beside the foundation and I’m happy to help transport those pieces if the building’s owner would like me to. This is why I’m leaving this message: I want to make it clear that no one is hurt, that I had to do this to curtail all possibility of a hostage situation, and that I do NOT mean to threaten anyone. I’m only looking after my loved ones.
I’m making arrangements to make public appearances to answer any questions you might have about this or anything else, so you’ll be hearing more from us soon."
There, now stop threatening to post cooking shows on my user page every day I don't post a chapter. Or don't, actually, because I'll bet that dim sum is delicious.
yo i've identified the parts that look like shit, i marked them as red
yeah that all looks pretty anal, you should just edit it out entirely
See? Rad. This editor is worth what I pay him.
Exactly what I pay him.

hey you smell too
3402558 Just for that I'm docking your wages, and by that I mean give me your lunch money.
3402447 Weeellllll... I might have used the word sub-par compared to what's already published. Otherwise your verdict seems correct. Does 'giving him your lunch money' equal paying for lunch?
I want an editor like that.
3402819 3402447 You hear that, Arcanist Ascendant? That's the cry of the people. A cry for editing. Oh, how they weep.
are you not moved by their tears

All the poorly written sentences and plotholes will look up and shout, "Edit Us!", and I'll look down and whisper, "No."

The only part about it that's a beauty, is me.
His face is dumb. He's not the beautiful part.
