Wanderer's Diary: Remastered (and also I'm on AO3 now) · 3:40pm Jun 22nd, 2021

I periodically go back to revise my older stories for awkward phrasing, grammatical errors, and plot holes. I've done this with most of my MLP fics at one point or another, but it was always much more awkward to do with my Fallout stories, particularly since Fanfic.net's interface is so terrible, and Wanderer's Diary in particular is so long and unwieldy, as well as being some of my earliest writing, with the greatest number of technical mistakes. However, while my next MLP project is on hold while I wait for my editor to look at it, I've been going back and finally completing those revisions for a new version of the story, which I'm currently porting to Archive Of Our Own, and so far it's turned out to be much easier than I always imagined it would be.

I signed up to AO3 a while ago, just so I always have a backup to repost my stories in case the worst should happen, but I haven't had cause to use it until now. But since AO3 so far seems much more user-friendly than Fanfic.net, and since porting everything over is easier than I thought it would be, I'm now going to be reuploading all of my Fallout stories there, and perhaps eventually my MLP fics as well.

So if you've been wanting to read or re-read Wanderer's Diary, but Google docs or Fanfic.net just isn't doing it for you, I'll be posting newly rewritten chapters on a semi-regular basis over there for the next few weeks. Nothing major has changed from the original version, just making it look prettier and covering minor plot holes here and there, which I'll point out in the author's notes as I go along. After that's all done, I'll begin moving over the sequels and spin-offs as well, including Courier's Journal and Survivor's Testament. And who knows? I might even have a new chapter or two for you all by the end of it...

Anyway, that's all for now. Peace.
