I have an announcement to make. It seems that my ongoing story, By the Will of the Council, needs its status changed to [✔ Complete]

As the story has been finished!
If you had any hangups about it so far, and feared another perpetually ongoing story might burn you, now that should be no longer an issue.
Now on to reading, pal!

>when in the final editing pass before posting, you realize a "princesses" was left in, despite they not being such in the story
Yeah, such is when certain characters are always depicted in the same era, and the same roles. Conventions are a powerful thing. I also got used to "princess" so much when I referred to Celestia or Luna in the story, that early on, I actively hunted for the moniker to edit it out.
They aren't princesses. Not yet.
Just a funny thing I wanted to share.

My first long-form story, By the Will of the Council, featuring a young Celestia and Luna, is getting released... NOW!
Accompany the not-yet-royal sisters on the first of their many journeys that shaped Equestria, and find out about the past they never spoke about.
