I know, I know, the story's nowhere nearly done, but a friend of mine volunteered to preread what I had of the first draft over a year ago (I'm sorry), and after reading the first five chapters (revised down to four), I received this in my PMs on Team Liquid:

Update: I ended up with an A- in this class. Not bad for spending the majority of it writing about ponies.

I felt kind of like this while I was second drafting chapter 17 of Repercussions. My editor has wisely perscribed that I take a couple weeks where I do anything except think about Repercussions. This will be my first break from writing the fanfic since I took two weeks off after I finished the first draft on January 31st, 2012, so I guess I'm a couple months overdue.

I'm not sure if anybody is interested in this sort of thing, but here we go. I've been working on Repercussions since the beginning of September of 2011, about a week or two before season 2 began.

My writing mechanics were pretty good a few months ago, but a far cry from what you see in the work I post here.

Does anyone even read these things?

As regrettable as using this image is, it is (somewhat) justified; this coming Wednesday -- and this Wednesday only -- Repercussions will receive a double update. Yes, two chapters instead of one. Why? Let's just say chapter 8 will be... interesting, and as such, it's only prudent to provide the next chapter right away, rather than delaying it a week. Some important closure, and all that.
