Post-update blog 2: Could've Been Worse! · 3:02pm Feb 5th, 2013
Heya everyone, and I'm just here to discuss a few of my thoughts regarding the reception to the latest update.
I'm generally pretty surprised by the reception, since I personally believe the chapter to be utter crap. Then again, I think all of my writing is crap. I'm happy most of you enjoyed it!
Also, thank you kindly for spotting the slip-ups, to those who did, and an equally great thank-you for all who reviewed. I wish I could respond to every comment, but I'm short on time, heh.
That is all. But oh, the chapter is named as it is because he's getting closer to Ponyville. Who do you think will be one of the first ponies that accosts him? Also as others have said, it's a reference to one of the chapters of LOTR. Shit explanation, I know...
So the chapter wasn't bad, right?
Thanks,
~Ascension.
Certainly not bad, no. I enjoyed it anyway. Though I do hope the next chapter won't take QUITE as long...?
Don't worry. At first, even I feared that it had became Mature after reading the chapter name while looking at emails. I was relieved when I saw that I could still read it with the Mature option off.
I enjoyed it, though I was surprised you've set things so closely after the beginning of the series.
Friend, kindly stop referring to your story as crap. I have three reasons.
1. Because it is factually NOT crap, it's stylized, wordy, has a few grammar or spelling errors, and is one of the better written stories i read on this site.
2. Because it is bad for your self confidence, and if anybody else was talking about your work like that i'm sure other people would be angry with them.
3. Because if your work is crap, then what the heck is mine. While your chapters are long and go off on tangents, they are still heavily detailed and very true to their source material. Mine are sparse, dialog heavy, and is a walking "How Not To Use English Grammar: For Eggheads" guide.
Fluttershy was my second guess for what pony he'd meet first (First being Zecora because she lives in the Everfree Forest, Third being Pinkie Pie because Pinkie Pie) and i very much enjoyed the interaction with the serpent. If it would not be too much trouble, would you mind giving us a time frame of (Like "End of Season 1" or "Before season 3") i just like to know those things.

There is a thing called being too modest.
Besides, it's not your job to bash yourself, that's ours! Stop taking our jobs!!
If something is bad, we'll be sure to notify you.
I can't wait for Twilight to meet him and flip out.

Well, it's not at the beginning of the series. It's some time before the end of season 2.
Good to hear you enjoyed it.

Thanks, heh. I am a bit too modest at times, I think.

Oh, her reaction will be quite epic.
Thank you.
797304
Oh, I hope not.

This fic will never be mature. I swear it.
797363 Keeping in mind that Twilight did say that Zecora isn't a pony...

Ah, valid point. That fact seem to have slipped my mind.
799201
Mm, and you wanted a time frame, right?
799203
if convenient, I'm not Demanding one but to know certain things could be helpful.
Have they faced Discord
-Chrysalis
-Sombra
And Gandalf Meeting Discord would be HILARIOUSNESS

Heh, to put this into perspective for you, this story is beginning a little bit before the end of season 2.
799476
Okay, thanks.
That's about where my brain placed it. I just tend to micromanage these things.
Silently (HAHAHA, I couldn't even type that with a straight face) awaiting your next chapter.
