And so ends another chapter in the Alternate Beginnings saga.
If it feels like an abrupt ending, well, you’re probably not wrong.

The saga of Doug Apple and his merry herd continues in Growing Harmony. Here's a rundown of the various characters and ways the setting might be different from canon:
Spoilers below!
The rewrite of Alternate Beginning: The First Year has (finally!) concluded. I hope you enjoyed it, because I sure enjoy reading comments and reactions to it!
Well, it’s certainly been a long and fun ride, writing this. About one million words in the series, depending on how you count the side stories and whatnot. More than I ever thought I’d write, and I’m pretty sure I said something similar around the 300k mark, too.
So, Errant Finale (and all of the Alternate Verse, for that matter) has a pretty big plot arc focusing around reproduction of the alicorns. Too important to not include in the main story, but quickly veering right up to the line of what constitutes a 'teen' story versus a 'mature' one.
In a few days, Continuity Disrupted will be coming to a close as Winter Wrap Up wraps it up. Thanks to everyone who stuck with it all the way, and I hope everyone who hasn't read it yet enjoys it! As always, I love comments and feedback, even if it's just pointing out a part you liked!
A glossary / character reference guide for the main differences between Canon (the show) and Continuity Disrupted. Mostly references things that happened in Alternate Beginnings; beware of spoilers!
Ah, Prince Blueblood. For a character that is only mentioned in a couple episodes, he sure gets a bad rep. I mean, Rarity asks him out (I assume, of course; how would the other way have gone?) and we all know how that goes.
So, I had this all written out, planned to post when I finish Book Seven, but I figured, hey, why not post it now. A bit of a rambling rant, and I hope you can forgive the frequent tangents.
