    Darkening Summary

    As I promised, here is a brief summary of The Darkening for anyone who would like to continue the story but would rather not spend the time reading the 69k word story again. Now if you haven't read the story, then please don't read this summary, it is going to cover all of the plot points very quickly, and you will get nothing from it but confusion and whiplash. You can catch the summary just

    The Darkening is Back!

    I told you it wasn't dead! Yeah, I saw it when those of you placed it in your "dead" and "graveyard" bookshelves, and I gotta say, each one of those hurt my heart a bit, but I get it. I haven't updated the story since April 2019!

    The Darkening isn't Dead, I Swear!

    So, I know I haven't really done anything here in nearly two years, but I just wanted to tell anyone who may still care that I haven't given up on The Darkening yet. The truth is, I've been in a bit of a funk since before posting chapter 7. My depression came back, harder than it has in over a decade, and with it came the old feelings of failure. Every time I sat down to write, this little

    The Darkening: Chapter 7

    Finally, it's done! This chapter gave me a lot of grief. I wrote the Twilight section over a dozen times easily, and honestly, I nearly gave up at one point. But I didn't, and thanks to a comment from my newer pre-reader, Zodiacspear, it turned out even better than I'd hoped. So look for chapter 7 to be posted next Wednesday around

    The Darkening: Chapter 6

    Chapter 6 is ready to go and will be posted next Wednesday. Chapter 7 has really given me a lot of trouble, but I think I've finally just about worked it out, and I'm hoping the next portion of it will come along much quicker. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful time over the holidays, and I also hope you'll look forward to chapter 6 after checking out the excerpt after the page break.

The Darkening is Back! · 11:53pm Mar 19th, 2023

I told you it wasn't dead! Yeah, I saw it when those of you placed it in your "dead" and "graveyard" bookshelves, and I gotta say, each one of those hurt my heart a bit, but I get it. I haven't updated the story since April 2019!

So I wanted to let you all know that chapter 8 is coming soon. I've already finished Twilight's portion, and I'm in the process of writing Applejack's now. I hope to finish it this week. I also rewrote Twilight's section of chapter 7. I just wasn't happy with it, I felt like Twilight needed to be a bit more abrasive and defensive. Once chapter 8 is done, I'm going to go over chapters 1-6 and polish them up, and add a couple lore bits that I totally forgot to add before. So yeah, I'm putting a lot of work into this once again.

Now to anyone here that would like to continue The Darkening but are thinking "Oh gosh, I don't remember what was happening and that's such a big story to re-read" I've got you covered! About a week before I publish chapter 8, I'll post a summary of the story up to this point, so if you don't want to reacquaint yourself with the story, you can read that and then jump right in. I think that's all I had to say...so I'll see you all again when I post that summary. Until then, happy reading/writing!
