Another awaited update, and a reveal of sorts...? · 1:02pm Aug 10th, 2016
So apparently I'm getting too used to these long patches of time between new chapters.
Bad Jyuuma, bad.
Anyway, once again I'm glad to present not one but 2 chapters this time! And on that regard, I wanted to do a lil' confession.
See, when I began this story, I also wanted to do some sort of small ARG-ish game for the readers (that's probably not the proper term, but I'll use it for now). I wanted to work on a few chapters, then create "clues" that, once solved by the readers, would lead me to reveal Sub-Chapters of sorts that'd help set up the context for the story as a whole. I'd know if people solved them by patiently waiting for Comments. You may have noticed the first (and only) Clue i had dropped in one of the previous chapters.
The thing is, I realized 2 things: One, considering I'm pretty new on this site (and on fics in general, not just MLP, this is literally the first fanfic I've ever written), such idea was probably too pretentious from me. And two, that to make the Clues the way i wanted them, i had to do some extra work on accommodating very specific words, which in the long run would only delay the chapters coming out.
In short, I'm ditching the lil minigame thing, but i'll still publish the Sub Chapters as I finish them along with the regular chapters. I *might* try this lil game again at some point in the future, I might comment a bit more about it in more detail when I'm done with the story...
At any rate, I apologize once again for the huge delays inbetween chapters. University indeed keeps me busy and a lil stressed, but rest assured I'm still working on this till the end. Pinkie promise .

PD: Once again thanks to Demegor for helping me with proofreading, these words remain too little to show how much I appreciate it. No need for me to tell people since I trust he's gained merit of his own, but please check out his work as well.
