So, a bit of news about Sam and Tom · 9:55pm Jan 5th, 2016
The chapter is done, guys. It's about 20k words long. I worked on it throughout the holidays and it was a real pain. It still needs to go through some editing though, so there's that delay, and my prereader is really busy. It's her masters class next week. So, I do hope I'm going to be able to post it soon, but it might take a bit more time, especially considering the length. And heck, I'm flip-flopping on the title as well.
It is however official, this is the climax. An aftermath chapter will happen to let you know about the future, and then an epilogue.
Other news, not sure which stories I'll work on next, in what order. Probably the Havoc one, as it does need a good update, and then it's either Dream or bicorns. Maybe vote if you want one more than the others.
P.S. Why the plot bunnies?! They are everywhere!!
Well, last chapter was really pointing toward the climax, so it's expected I guess.
Sounds promising if anything.
ps: I'm usually not too bad at picking up title, if you don't mind spoiling some thing, maybe I can help?
I'm looking forward to seeing it, I think this is my absolute favorite HIE story that I have read and I can't wait to see how it is to go down. All I know is that it will be epic and a lot of surprises to it and I know their are still going to be consequences in the end for every one. I would have loved to do the cover art for this story, but it was so far ahead when I read it, that I didn't feel that it would help it any.
You...You mean it's gonna be over soon? Basically 3 chapters and that one is done? :(
Bicorns. Watching those two shattering worldviews is fun.
3666589 It's going to be something. Sam's really on his last leg, trying something abhorrent for the sake of his family while still fighting ponies he care about. It's... It's a dark place for him.
3666606 You know, if you keep that up, I'll have to call you Rarity. You're really generous with such quality work. You're right, this fic is mostly done, cover arts at this point would be a bit useless. It wouldn't help it spread any and likely not entice new readers. At this point, it's a long read.
I'm so flattered by how highly you think of my fic too. It's... it's always such a great thing to hear. Thanks, Mix-up. This fic's been a real ride to write and... well, it's so close to being over.
3666825 Yes. That's how far the tragedy can stretch. Whether he wins or loses this fight, things will end.
3667019 Eh. So do I. Opinion noted, though as a collab, it might be a bit harder to schedule. I'll see how it turns out.
Yeah poor Sam. Yay for updates, but we don't know if we should be cheering him on or not,...
3667616 Depends on what you want to see happen. A vote for him is a vote for devastation, but hey, Team Rocket made that catchy.
3669165 There is cheering for the villain 'cause he is soooo cool and charismatic and awesome.
And there is taking his side.
I'm cheering for Sam, he have it rough and he is still trying. He is acting on the behalf of other and the damage he cause on his way are making him feel guilty.
But I don't take his side, because I think that what he is doing is not a solution, it's going to create problem for many others, of course, and for himself as well; it will either haunt him or make him a total monster. And loosing his own self into madness isn't exactly counting as a good thing.
