Wow. It's been a while. Sorry about that. I've been pretty busy.
Basically, I was never happy with how The Weight of the Sun was going. It was cobbled together based on a few different things I wanted to happen, like a whole puzzle supporting just a few pieces. It wasn't going to work how it was.
So I threw out those pieces and built a new puzzle. I'm still working on it. Not very far along. But progress is being made.
I've decided I'm going to rewrite it once more. But this time, I'm not going to post any of it until it's all done. All the second-thinking will have been done by the time it meets the public eye.
It's going to be updated to post-Equestria Girls, pre-season 4 canon. While I liked the premiere, it's creating new canon that has yet to be fleshed out, and I don't want to build a story on unstable ground.
Here's what you have to look forward to:
* A brand-new, more detailed and immersive story.
* Redesigned characters, motives, and settings.
* A blog post with every chapter.
* Consistent updates once the first chapter is released.
I'm also working on commissioning new cover art. I can finally afford to pay for it. I really appreciate jchavez3628's effort on the previous iteration, but I have a new concept that requires more detail, and I'd hate to bother him again.
I can't guarantee a release date, but I hope to start putting out chapters before season 4 ends. I will delete the existing story and post the new version as a completely separate story so it can pick up new traffic. Keep an eye out for it early next year.
Thanks for sticking around,
Logician
