Hello all, this is your author speaking
I'm writing this in a chapter entry to make sure it reaches everyone who took the time to read Schism. thank you all very much for your support! Schism was written before the Luna Eclipsed episode as a means for me to toss out my thoughts on Luna, the origins of Equestria, and generally try out playing with the ponyfolks in written form. It was a lot of fun, but between Luna Eclipsed and today's Hearthwarming episode, the vast majority of this entire story has been canonically dismissed. One of the big things I wanted to do with Schism was provide an explanation to the unanswered questions in the show that actually seemed to fit (with a little adult wiggleroom) in the show's setting, using established evidence. Now that many of those situations have actually been addressed by the show itself, I feel its best to shut down Schism and begin something new, rather then...well...beat a dead horse. Ive got some fun ideas for other parts of the show to address and explain that I'll hope you'll enjoy, and my experiences with this story will hopefully make the next one that much better. I hope you'll come have a look at it when I make it! Thank you again!
