[Humility] Unlocking the Unfinished Experiment

Well, I wasn't able to keep my promise. I began work on Humility's updated version, made some nice headway on it, and then...just...so much happened. But I'm not going to echo the same excuses. Stuff happened, and Humility sat incomplete, and...I keep thinking about it and feeling like I left part of my best work unfinished. I suppose that's true.

I also suppose that the very least I can do is unlock all the chapters, those of version 2 and the current drafts of version 1 - including the finale chapter I had so wanted to earn - and share them here. Finally.

So, here are the list of links. Each of these should work fine, and comments are turned on, so don't hesitate to tell me how salty you are for waiting this long.

Chapter 0 v2: An updated introduction chapter, taking a bit more time with Discord's state of mind and the juxtaposition of that with the rest of the day.
Chapter 1 v2: Taking a more refined approach to the test and the result, with a better emphasis on Discord's perspective instead of flitting to Twilight's in the end.
Chapter 2 v2: Not many changes between versions, but working harder to set up smaller plot-relevant details so they could pay off later.
Chapter 3 v2, incomplete: Trying to be a little more invasive with Discord's mood and outbursts. Ultimately unfinished as I struggled with how to best resolve a conversation. It was this chapter I was actively working on when the everything happened.
Chapter 4 v2, incomplete: A new chapter, moving to Fluttershy's perspective immediately following Discord's final outburst at the end of chapter 3. This one was already proving to be terribly difficult, as I needed to show a truly upset character finding her resolve to try again. There was the added challenge of a subplot with Twilight, making her own progress behind the scenes which would pay off in the finale, though not perhaps in the way she expects.
Chapter 5 v1: This is simply "Seeing Red" but put later in the chapter order to connect better with the v2 of chapter 4.
Chapter 6 v1, incomplete: The chapter that was supposed to be the longest and most heartfelt as Fluttershy simply helps a friend. Discord can't deny what her aid means and it helps him to reach his final moral conclusion.
Chapter 7, finale v1: When two gods find three reasons.

Bear in mind that as these documents are raw copy-pastes from the Fimfiction editor, you will see some bbcode and author notes spread across the later chapters. Distracting, I know, but it's late and I feel like I've kept these under lock and key for far too long.

The purpose of this blog post is simply to tag those who follow the story and alert them to this long-overdue change. Later on, if I feel like it's necessary, I'll blurb on about the experience of the story, share some of that everything that happened, and wrap up the lesson of this entire thing. Because after so long, there's gotta be something that comes outta this.

Lemme know if the links break or if some updated formatting (replacing bbcode with actual editing for instance) would be nice.

Edit: Oh yeah, I found another document that summarizes the plan and plot for version 2. Perhaps this will help fill in some blanks left by the incomplete chapters up there.
