    One Year Anniversary

    Last year this day, Defect was published. Man, it feels like an eternity ago.

    Defect was my first featured story, and I'm so lucky to have experienced that. I still remember the joy and exuberance I felt when I saw that it made to the feature box... after a whole nine hours of being unnoticed after the story was first published!

    I'm not Dead! And neither is the story!

    Hey guys, sorry about the complete lack of updates for Defect. Recently, I'm dealing with some rather time-consuming tasks (Read: Moving to Sydney) so I didn't have a lot of time to spend on pony-related goodness. Unfortunately, it will likely be at least a few more weeks before everything can settle down. In the meantime, though, I am still working on the next chapter, so all hope is not lost.

    Friendly Update Inbound!

    Sorry about the... what, four weeks wait? Yeah. Unfortunately my writing speed is not the more optimal. School has also been strangling me a little bit but that's for another time. To be honest, the chapter took me about two weeks since the first week was mostly spent majorly editing proofreading chapter 1 with my editors (who are all doing a stellar job so far). So yeah, chapter 2 is done

    What a ride!

    Wow. My first featured story. To make things better, it didn't stay on there for a few minutes, or even a few hours. No, it stayed on there for four days! Words cannot explain my gratitude to you guys for making it my (by far) most successful story to date. It was originally intended as a bling for my own amusement, and I really only published out of pure curiosity of its reception.

    So... I'm moving to Sydney

    What's that about publishing all those stories?

    Yeah, about that. Do you hear that sound?

    Um... no? What is it?

    Oh not much, it's just the sound of my dreams dying in a fire.

What a ride! · 10:27pm Feb 1st, 2017

Wow. My first featured story. To make things better, it didn't stay on there for a few minutes, or even a few hours. No, it stayed on there for four days! Words cannot explain my gratitude to you guys for making it my (by far) most successful story to date.

That's all done now, though, so I won't bore you by talking more on it. What you guys really want (and understandably so) is this:

Yeah, I know. If my experiences as a reader told me anything it's that I hate waiting for updates. Now that I'm the author of a story that people want to read, it's a little daunting to be honest. I just want you guys to know that an update is coming and I'm working on it right now. Because of how unexpected this feature is, I'm currently sorting things out plot wise with my editors and proofreaders. School has also been somewhat of a pain in the back, but I'll find a balance between that and writing fanfiction.

On another note, I understand that chapter 1 is littered with grammatical and spelling errors. My editors are working through that diligently and hopefully I will be able to publish a proofread version soon. Until then, you need to deal with all that, so I apologize. I assure you, however, that future chapters would be of a much better quality.

Lastly, I want to make a mention on my five new, amazing editors: Garzeel_, MysteryAlabaster, NotanImportantPony, Flicka Ravenhide, and Destella Morningdew. Seriously, they are awesome and went to work on the first day. They are pretty spectacular, and they all have pretty snazzy stories themselves. Go check them out if you have some free time.

Croaks out, and may your stories be good ones! :rainbowdetermined2:

A pleasure to work on a story with an awesome concept.:rainbowdetermined2:

so... is the rest of twilight running around without the rest of her brain somewhere? what happened to the rest of her bloody body bits.

I really do want to read the story, but the fact of it not being updated since the release of the story is a bit disconcerting

Ack, yeah, really sorry about that. School and whatnot have been a pain in the arse. However, I'm really close to pushing the second chapter out - in fact, it's being proofread by my editors as we speak. Hopefully it won't take too long.

I'll use the figurative whip if I have to :raritywink:
