Christmas and New Years Information Update · 5:14pm Dec 24th, 2018
It has been far too long.
It has been far too long.
So I got a message asking if I had any advice for harem writing, which was cool since I like helping people and generally talking about story writing. After I sent it, I realized that maybe some of my other readers (Or anyone who happens to come across this) might like to see/benefit from my advice. Heads up, none of this is edited so expect some errors.
You guys like Dash and Gilda right? Right!?! Well, if you didn't I think I might have something to change your mind: A new chapter!
Even though it took way longer than planned >_> And got broken into two. Also there is no fan art of any kind with Dash Gilda and Spike together...
Also, things that might happen in future chapters
Sorry guys, really intended to have the next chapter up by Christmas, just taking a bit longer to finish editing it than I had expected. Chapters too damn large.
We'll have it for you soon.
The first draft is complete, at just a small 25k or 24,674 words if you want to be exact and only 101 pages in Word or 93 pages in Gdocs.
Edits have been underway. Expect something soon. It has been a long wait... and I am sorry for that, but it's almost over!
Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Whatever you Celebrate, but not Leaf Ericsson Day, we're not there yet.
For the record my birthday was in the last week XP
And as a present for my birthday and all above mentioned holiday's. We, that is ShimmeringStallion and myself as I have not been able to contact Shokinaw unfortunately, are working hard to finish both writing and editing a very large chapter.
Everybody!
Been doing lots of reading and a fair bit of writing. The new chapter of Hoard is coming along nicely, but I have no idea how long it's going to be... like at all. Not a single clue, but it's being written so... yay!
I'm alive, I'm sure many have wondered as I've been dark for so long. I would like to assure you all that I never quit the fandom, not did I ever intend to be gone so long. After my car accident I found that even laid up in bed for the better part of three months I was still very busy... in a sense. Busy healing, visiting the doctor, learning to walk again (I always sing this part thank you Foo Fighters), dealing with friends and family. And eventually when I was "all" healed up I found that I
I updated Hoard, wooh! Like a week ago, wooh! I've been really busy, boooooooooo!
What to expect: Characterization, Plot, that other type of Plot, Awesomeness, and Ponies, Dragons, Zebras, and Gryphons!
I'm not mad, you're mad! *Runs in circles chasing his own imaginary tail.*
Right, so anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyways, I finished the next chapter of Hoard remember how I said like 12k, after I had originally said like 9-10k, yeah so it's 14,111 words and 56 pages. I worry sometimes that my chapters are a little too big
So, now it's all about getting it edited so I can publish the next chapter and you guys can read all that hard work.
I'm at just short of 9000 words now. The reason I didn't finish last week is actually pretty simple, I figured about 9000 words for the chapter, I'm now guessing closer to 12000. I'm going to try to grind it out and see what I can do about maybe having it finished for the weekend, the weekend to do edits hopefully, and a update early next week... I hope!
True story. You guys remember when my blog titles were clever... Yeah, me either.
Anyways, little writer update cause I used to do that shit weekly, remember that... I feel a pattern.
Wait can I say shit on a blog title... I JUST DID!
Little bit of humor and fun, can't help myself.
Anyways, started turning out the next chapter of Hoard no idea how long it'll take but I hope you guy wanted to see Dash nearly kill Spike a few times. Never accept her training!
Is the name of the new Hoard chapter, it's also up on Thursday, as promised. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! I'm go crash now.
Can't believe I never used that one. Also not the Horde, they suck, Go Alliance!
Anyways, I'm not here to talk about 6.0.2 dropping and how excited I am (very); I'm here to talk about the fact Shok finished his edits, so now I have to go through them which I should have done soon, and then Shimmering just has to do one more quick time through to make sure the edits aren't full of errors and we'll have a chapter posted. Woooooooooooooooooh!
Give me a second to stop laughing. Okay, seriously though, I know you guys are wondering what's taking so long. The short version is we have about 45 pages we needed to edit, proofread, and reread, and real life has a way of being in the way more often than not.
Just to keep everyone updated we are working on about the last half of the edits, and I have the tiniest bit of writing left which should be done tonight. Not sure about the edits we tend to do about 2-3 rounds of those, which go considerably faster after round 1, which is what we're working on now.
That happened Saturday Night and I just managed to fix it this morning, so a little bit of a delay since I basically lost 2 days I could have been writing. Other than that edits are underway on the majority of the story and I got quite a bit of later tonight to write so essentially, Pinkie, help me out here,
Just thought I would inform all my readers/followers that the bulk of the next chapter of Hoard is in editing. I'll be working more on it tonight and hopefully if everything plays out and Shimmering and Shok have the time, we'll have an update by the end of the weekend.
