Sorry

Sorry about the delay. It took a LONG time to hear back from EqD for some reason.

I've temporarily unpublished the chapters of Science. I got back some suggestions from EqD prereaders that I think are worth taking, but I'm generally STRONGLY against altering a fic once it's already out there. I don't like fracturing the reader base between those who read the old version and the new version.

So I'm going to minimize the number of people who've read the old version by making it unavailable while I work on the new one. The changes won't be drastic. Same basic content, just going to rework some of Twilight's dialogue, and add some stuff from earlier in her research. The prereaders felt that there wasn't enough justification or transition between the show's Twilight straight up dropping spells without question all day and my Twilight studying the basic causes. Maybe I can even prepend a scene that happens before the rest of this where she first starts wondering how magic really works, I dunno yet.

The OTHER issue is that they didn't like the way I handled Celestia/Luna's deaths. This will be harder, but I'm sure I can think of something. They're still going down from the same basic causes. I just need to tweak the exact details.

Expect to see the chapters republished with tweaks... eventually. It won't be required that you re-read them, because they'll cover the same basic events with the addition of some early research or questions, but I'm unpublishing anyway. The changes won't be drastic, but they will be large enough to notice.
