New story: The Siren · 2:04am Jul 4th, 2023

Well, here I go again with another epic story:

TThe Siren
This is the tale of Twilight Sparkle’s journey from student to princess…through the lens of her interactions with The Siren.

This is my most-complicated story yet, and I wrote it all without an editor!

I’m probably going to regret that.

You’ll notice that there are a lot of chapters here. That’s because I went from having one chapter for each complete scene to one chapter for each new idea introduced. I had a lot of ideas.

Anyway, my biggest fear with this story is that somebody will get to the climax in Chapter 50 and say, “Hey, where did that mecha pear McGuffin come from?”

And I’d say, “Well, do you remember when Applejack ate that pear in Chapter 1? This is the payoff to that.”

And you’d tell me you totally forgot about Applejack’s pear, what with her being eaten by that xenomorph in the very next paragraph.

…Not that any of that is going to happen in this story. But you get what I mean.

Um, any particular reason you decided to drop a six-digit word count in a single go? I'm always happy to see more from you, but this is a bit intimidating.

The reason is that the story is so complicated that I thought that people reading one chapter a week would lose track of stuff. So, I'm putting it all out at once.
