The First Unicorn on Earth

Author's Note:

I was originally gonna post all the days Starscribe skipped as one, but decided not to. If you want me to, just tell me in the comments. I might.

Otherwise, yeah, it's short. But important, so I kept it.

Dear Journal,

Max is in a lot of pain. He's constantly groaning. I've even caught him crying once, though he claims that I was just seeing things. I wouldn't blame him were he crying.

All today I've done everything in my power to keep him alive. I've forgotten to eat, use the restroom, and otherwise take care of myself. I God damn swear that Max is gonna live. If he doesn't live... if he doesn't live... I'll... I'll be... Excuse me for a moment...

It's currently 1:25 AM. Technically, it's June 9th. I've just been too busy trying to take care of Max. I've given him the futon, I'm sleeping on the floor. Well, I WILL sleep on the floor.

He's stabilizing a bit more. By stabilizing, I mean I feel comfortable leaving him for a half hour and not worrying that he'll be deceased when I come back. His wounds were a lot worse than I thought. Tommorow — or later today I suppose — I'm going to go look for more medicinal supplies. We're running low. I hear him moan, or cry... I wish I could give him painkillers. I'm worried that they'll clash with our new pony biology though. I don't want him to take drugs he shouldn't.

God damnit, I'm not a doctor! Or, a vet! I don't know what to do!

At least he's getting better, to some degree.

The hospital, Leon! Or at least the pharmacy. There has to be one around.

Ooh, poor Max. I hope he lives. And to your question, yes, I think you should post all the skipped days at once.

6067433 Tell you what. I'll post the next chapter (Which, combined with this one, makes up my usual post size) then I'll post the next ones from there. I'll release them together until they make up 800+ words.

Dang man. You know, you don't have to keep the dates up in line with what happens in Last Pony on Earth. As a matter of fact, I expect that to be very difficult when that story starts skipping weeks or months. You probably don't want to hold yourself to exactly the same date, just remember the timeline established in the main story for global events and stick to it when yours catches up chronologically.

6069377 Stories with multiple authors doing their own thing in the same timeline is awesome!
Till the first important author stalls.
Being generous, half the stories on here stall.
This means that if you have three authors, you're basically guaranteed that one will lose interest or have writers block.
