SO YAY I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COMPLETE THE CHAPTER

WHOA HELLA YES YA!

Time to send it to the proofreaders and stuff....

I was just working on the new Captain Equestria chapter, and felt I should check the word count.

Turns out, I'm currently at 7,314 words.

And I'm only about two thirds of the way done with it.

So, I think I'm going to cut it into two smaller, easier to digest (and write) chapters.

Now I just gotta find a good scene to end the chapter on (most likely AJ and the Professor talking about Apple Bloom's cutie mark, where I can hopefully also outline some of his backstory)

Yeah, if you couldn't tell by my rather blunt message to Comcast, my internet is still down.

The (somewhat) good news is that my parents have decided that enough is enough, and that we're gonna switch to AT&T for our internet from now on.

The bad news is that Comcast won't let us do that until Monday, because the folks in charge of that stuff have already closed for the day and also because they aren't open tomorrow (which is Sunday). fucking cunts

I completely forgot who proofreads (i.e. edits the grammar and checks for grammar flaws and the like) that story, so if you guys can comment below telling me if you do or not, that'd be great.

Okay, remember how I said I was hoping to get both Captain Equestria and Iron Mare ready by the end of July and have Harmony's Warriors Assembled start in August?

Well, last night, I realized that it's basically impossible to do that with my current schedule.

It's taken me almost three weeks to write this chapter, and it's almost May. Which leaves me with just three months to finish two stories unless I change my schedule.

FINALLY

It's taken like two weeks, but I finally got the chapter done.

Thank god.

Now just to have my co-writers go over it and have it proofread.

First the co-writers though.

Rejoice with that weird Celestia video:

So yeah remember how I was bitching about AB's cutie mark?

WELL LAZRUTH SOLVED THE PROBLEM!

WITNESS GENIUS:

Honestly, I was fine with how she got her cutie mark. Maybe it was just me, but when she was dis/reassembling those guns, I was thinking to myself "maybe it's not about breaking down and putting weapons together that her cutie mark represents, maybe it represents her ability to break down anything combat related."

First off, I'm going to straight up say that this blog post is going to be RIFE with spoilers, and I won't be using the spoiler bar.

If you want to avoid spoilers (no matter how obvious they are), then stop right now, go open tumblr or something, and ignore this blog post.

You've been warned.

Okay, I've been having some problems with Captain Equestria as of late, all of them relating to Apple Bloom and the meaning of her cutie mark.

Okay the good aspect of the news first:

I've discovered that, back when I last updated Captain Equestria, I had written at least a third of a chapter's worth of material, that just ended up getting bumped back to this new, unfinished chapter.

HOWEVER, even with all that snazzy stuff, the chapter is only one third complete.

Finally managed to complete the chapter and are now waiting for the co-writer's to get to it.

So hopefully, if everything works out, it'll be up by Friday at the earliest.

Okay, so I was finally able to loosen up me writing muscles, thanks to all those wonderful comments on the most recent blog post.

You all rock.

So, I figure that this new, much bedraggled Captain Equestria chapter, shall be split into two chapters, with the first one showing Applejack and Apple Bloom, and the next one showing all the bootcamp training stuff and things.

How does that sound?

Read More

I need a series of stuff for Applejack to do while at bootcamp to show that she's worthy of the super soldier serum, and has potential for leadership, since, in the movie at least, they only had the grenade scene, and the flagpole scene.

I'm totally open to ideas for this, since this chapter has decided to be a living hell to write.

Gosh I hate these chapters....

This chapter is, for lack of a better word, incredibly frustrating.

I have Applejack at boot camp....and I have no idea what to do with it.

ERGH

Honestly, I just wanna get her injected, get her into the suit, so I can move forward with the really emotional parts of the story (which happen once she's got the outfit and everything and is, ya know, at war).

BUT, I know I can't shortchange these set-up chapters either, lest the story loose important character development moments.
