Guess who's back?! · 3:00pm Jan 8th, 2014
That's right my... 81 followers?! When did you all get here? Anyway, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is, I've finally regained my desire to write after SO long (almost a year) and I'm willing to start writing the next part of "Spike's Out of his Depth."
The bad news. I've forgotten many of the plot points. Don't worry I still know who I wanted to be the mysterious cloaked pony, but I kind of forgot where I was going with the story. So I'm rebooting it, or rewriting it, or whatever you want to call it. Fluttershy and Spike will still be together, the mysterious pony is still plotting to break them apart, Rarity's still gone loco in the coco. The main setup is still there But I'm making a few subtle changes, the occasional drastic change and beefing up the word count by trying to actually describe scenes, rather than just telling you what is happening, "Show don't tell" is my new mantra. If you're interested I'm going to be writing in gdocs. PM me if you want access, I'd appreciate all the feedback you can give. And to point out my mistakes. I plan to try and fit this around my University work, and will post a blog every second Saturday (not including this week -_- ) on what I've gotten done.
Then when it's all finished, I'm going to pull Spike's Out of his Depth off FiMFiction.net whilst I update it, giving you the full story once I've finally done all final checks and editing.
It's good to be back.

P.S The coloured fonts for individual character thoughts. Keep or scrap? Y/N
P.P.S If you think I'm starting to slouch. Nag me. Don't let me loose my motivation again.
P.P.P.S No seriously, as long as it doesn't devolve into blatant abuse, do everything you can to help keep me working. I am really absent minded and prone to forgetting things. I have thick skin so I can take it.
Dear sweet mother of god leave them out.
Coloured fonts don't add anything other than eye bleed most of the time.
It's not a deal breaker and neither will it murder the story and teabag the body but you'll be loosing utterly nothing by taking the colours out and potentially saving many many eyeballs.
Oh and FUCK YES YOU'RE BACK
what the other guy said leave the colored fonts out and also are you just changing how you describe the scenery or are they going to be some key plot point changes like enough to the point where i have to read the whole thing over cuz im lazy and i dont feal like it but i will if necessary or recommended
1696462 The chapters will be reorganized somewhat, for instance I'm effectively merging chapters one and two, some minor circumstances are changing, for instance Twilight isn't alcoholic, at least not in the early chapters and I'm trying to improve how I describe things with mixed results. Like I said the major events thus far are unchanged so you should be able to read the newer chapters without feeling lost.
1696777 oh alright man can't wait for the next chapter
