Just a little update...

Sorry there's been no new chapter lately.

The story isn't cancelled or on hiatus or anything; I'm just having a bit of writer's block. I've hit the point where my notes are finished (I never expected to get this far....) and past this point I have bullet points and outline ideas but not hard notes like I did for the first half of the story.

Just a quick update...

I'm really sorry I haven't posted a new chapter. Writing has been slow because, well, real life keeps kicking me in the ass. I've been dealing with some family issues and being stressed as fuck for other reasons. And then I got sick...

So the rough draft for chapter 25 is finished, I put the capstone at the end the other night. It's currently being edited.

It's also three years since I started this story. The 21st is both my birthday and the birthday of the first chapter being posted over on GDocs. I feel like, at 1 chapter per month, I should be 11 chapters further than I am...

Rewrites and depression suck.

Sorry I haven't been releasing more chapters faster. I really am. I'll try and have this next one out ASAP.

Quick little update:

I'm sorry it's taking so long to write the next chapter. Real life has been kicking my ass. I'm probably stretched a little thin, combining a bigger streaming schedule on twitch (with the addition of several older Fallout games in prep for Fallout 4) and my job... Coupled with the fact that I've been getting headaches fairly regularly...

It's been obliterating my creativity and will to write.

Short post.

NEW COVER!

Short and sweet:

I want a new cover. Given my story is one of those chosen to be submitted to Equestria Daily, I want something a bit more eye-catching. I love the painting Julep gave me as one, but I'd like something that straddles a bit closer to the show style.

I know exactly what I want, I just need an artist. So anyone who has suggestions or is open for commissions. (And not to be a dick but a 'big name' in the fandom is a good thing for suggestions.)

I posted about this elsewhere but got no traction for it, so I'm gonna put it here as something 'official.'

Over my 2+ years (oh lord it's been nearly 3 years.) of writing this story, I've gone through several editors and pre-readers. Some left because well... I'm insufferable to work with, some left over creative differences, others because of disagreements. Some have stayed! Those ones are great, and some of my editors/prereaders have become great friends.

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

I just finished the rough draft of chapter 23. Now on to editing, and I'll post it as soon as I possible can. In the mean time, Season 5 tomorrow!

This is just a quick "I'm not dead" sorta thing...

I'm really sorry I've gone silent, but I sorta lost motivation for writing lately. I do still intend to finish the story. Just, bleh lately.

I don't really have an excuse for why the next chapter is taking so long. Depression, distractions, procrastination... There's no real reason... I'm just a slackass.

So I'm sorry. I'll do my best to have chapters come out as soon as possible. I make no promises on release dates, it'll be ready when its ready, but I'll try my best to get the next one out soon(tm).

So that's it. The hiatus of the story is officially over with the posting of a new chapter. I'm sorry it took so long. really the damn thing shoulda been out almost a month ago but I've had so much going on, and editing has been difficult due to time zones, losing people, etc. Speaking of which, the editing team lost two people during the hiatus for various reasons (Me being impossible to work with, mostly.). So if there's any quality issues with this chapter, it's because there's less

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Things have been busy. Short update.

Expect a new chapter in the next few days. Edits are 99% done. Just doing the polish passes to make sure I didn't miss things, then I'll have it posted.

So this is a few days late and I'm sorry. It'll look wrong if you go by fimfic's dates, but that's because I didn't upload the story to fimfiction at first.

But August 21st was both my birthday, and the day the first chapter was officially released to the public over on GDocs! I chose to do it on my birthday because the timing was good (it was like, one whole day later than when I finished writing/editing it) and so I'd be able to easily remember the anniversary.

And now we can start on new content....

Good Lord I'm scared.

I'd really like to apologize for just how fucking long this is taking. Life has been really hectic for me for a while, and schedules have been kinda shit.

Another short post here...

Chapter 15 is now updated. This means that we're officially on the final third of our journey of rewrites, consistency checks, and polishing. I can't BELIEVE how many little nagging stupid things are in these chapters that I missed. I feel terrible, that in my haste to release content I managed to slip up and just.... let mistakes through.

Chapters 10 and 11 have been updated. I apologize for the delay in 10, but I wanted to finish 11 before updating it, since the chapters are meant to be read en tandem.

As before, if you're worried about triggers, please read the author's comments.

Just a short post here. Chapter 9 was updated last night to fix continuity errors, grammar, spelling, and other stuff that downright annoyed me

Tonight I get started on the hard stuff, chapter 10!

Thanks for being so patient while I work on these chapters everyone, I'm working as fast as I can so we can get back to new content.

So, short update today.

As promised, I'm rereading my own story and making adjustments to continuity and all sorts of little quality of life things.

I went through over the weekend and spot-edited chapters 1-4 to catch anything that wasn't updated during the rewrites. This mostly amounted to a few places where the was an extra space, or a space missing, and some misspellings and such. Good to have it fixed though!
