Updates?! · 3:56am Jun 30th, 2013
Sooooo, like, I haven't posted anything in several months and I'm sure you are wondering why that is. The truth of the matter is that Philharmonic Staccato is getting a major rewrite. There's lots of things that no longer fit or even really flowed well with it, and rather than get the whole story finished and then redo it all I decided it would be best to do the rewrite now and focus on that and then worry about the rest later. That being said, I will not be releasing the rewrite until it is 100% done as I want the story to flow together and the best way to do that is to write it all now and then post the rest later. I do have Chapter 10 started, if I do not use what I have written now I'll put it in a file for everyone to read so they can see where the story was going before the rewrite took place.
Some of the story elements will change, there are places this is noticeable and places where it is not. One place will be Chapter 4, the pub scene. I do love this chapter but with all the various characters and conversations it got confusing fast with all the millions of 'he said's and 'she said's. So that chapter will be 100% rewritten where most of the others will simply have things added or taken out and edited for better quality.
I do apologize for the amount of time this is taking, but Philharmonic Staccato will be my baby, and is one of the stories I want to be known for writing. I'm sure this is a sentiment everyone shares with their own stories and so I do hope you can forgive the amount of time this is taking. I promise to have it done by the end of the year. But with going to Bronycon, plus helping a friend start his own con, and working constantly changing shifts at Walmart; I have a full plate as it is and my writing has taken a massive blow from it. Not to mention I'm lazy

Here's a Poll to take about the story!
Edit x3:
To whomsoever sent this through the poll:
If you /actually/ read the story, you'll see that it's not like the other stories, kthxbye. :)
Making your story what you want it to be is what I think all writers should do. Trying to much to placate fans just takes away from the feel, imo. So, do your thing, and take it easy. Rl>interwebs, so make sure you're not wearing yourself out trying to do too much.
Also, I think Gabe goes to the same mane stylist as Zecora.
I had to, I'm sorry.
I like the story, but it seems not-Octa-Scratch to me...

That's the problem. MY story's taken it's own path and I need to rein it back in and get it back under control and headed in the right direction. There's a lot of focus on Vinyl and Bonsie's past relationship for a reason that the rewrite shows a little better. Vinyl's being a stubborn pony and not wanting to move, which, of course, she will.

We canonly hope.
I can't spot the difference between the two coverarts :-c
I'm gonna go with the new AND the old, at the same time.
1201838 This story is completely original and i might even put it as far and say it is revolutionary. I can't wait for more chapters to come. I would go all out editor mode and critique this thing to shit but you say that you are doing a rewrite so ill wait till you finish that until i raise hell!!! Buuut if you want me to i can make a REALLY long review but i wanted to know if you are interested.
