There Goes the Neighborhood - Chapter 5 - Complete · 11:56pm Mar 17th, 2014
The work is done on the new chapter. As expected, it's the longest one to date by several thousand words, but it shouldn't be particularly daunting at roughly 13k. Now it's off to the pre-readers and editor!
Here's what you can expect in the new installment:
—The stakes get higher.
—The War on Happiness escalates.
—Someone has an existential crisis.
—Angel goes on the lam.
—Derpy returns a package.
—Applejack runs for her life.
—Blueblood vs Big Mac
—Someone has a secret.
As usual, I'm putting out the call for pre-readers, as I only have one who's asked to do it with every release. If you're interested, reply or PM me.
It'll be published later in the week, depending on when the editing is done and the timing looks right.
In related news, I edited the opening a bit to bring the story in line with season 4 canon. I also cleaned it up quite a bit. I still want to do a total rewrite on it, but I'm content to leave it this way for now. If you haven't checked out those early chapters in a while, there's a lot in them that's different now, so you may want to have another look. Or not. It won't affect anything.
That's about it, so stick to the shallow end of the cesspool, and have a good night!
