11/26/12 Update to Samurai Applejack Info. Later Today · 7:45am Nov 26th, 2012
So, sometime this evening (EST, anyway) those of you reading may notice a couple differences in the story. For starters, the title will no longer be "Samurai Applejack" - the more I think about it, the more generic it sounds, since there ARE other fics with it. And, I'd like the story to be a bit more than just a crossover - while influenced by source material, it needs to have its independence intact. As such, I feel a more fitting title is needed. So, that's one.
Secondly is the cover art. While Samurai Applejack fighting Sombra, lord of darkness is without a doubt badass, I feel a bit weird using it. When I found the image through an EqD post, I couldn't find a deviantArt page associated with it, but it did inspire the idea of the story in the first place, so I put it up there as cover art. However, I haven't given the rightful author his/her deds - and, until I get around to doing that, I don't feel right not giving credit. Instead, I've whipped up a small bit of art myself - something simple, basically an Applejack from the show silhouetted against a white sun in a dusk setting. The picture itself is a take on the wire-run scene in "Blazing."
Description may change in the future, but I'm not going to mess with it too much for now. I'd like to invite readers in without making them think that they NEED to know Samurai Jack to understand the fic, because you don't need to. As stated in the last blog post, its all about CONCEPT. The description doesn't really seem as urgent to change as the title and cover art, so it'll remain that way for now.
Also, if the word count changes on some of the chapters, or for whatever reason it says I've updated even though there's no new chapter, it's probably because I'm fine-tuning and editing chapters a bit.One day (when I stop being lazy) I'll probably send this to /fic/, and get some criticism on it, as my writing obviously needs some work. One day. But, just letting you all know ahead of time, that would be the reason for a change - if there's another reason (i.e. "the whole chapter's plot has been changed" <- doubtful situation) you guys will know about it in some blog post or something.
Have a .jpg instead of a .gif. Because The Walking Dead was on not too long ago.
Cheers,
Tuesday
