    I'm at EFNW

    Yep. Not cosplaying though. Will most likely be wearing a red MAGA hat (make Equestria great again). Have plenty of those, btw. And a couple copies of my book if anyone wants one.

    So I did a thing with Super Trampoline (Also, books)

    At horsecon, Super Trampoline and I made a blood pact (while intoxicated) to write a collab together. Not gonna lie, it's a steaming turd. But it was hella fun to write! You might get a kick out of it if you like crackfics. In fact, at least click on it and give it a vote. (Nobody's saying it has to be an upvote

    Am at BronyCon

    Am here, finally. Had a hell of a drive, and even worse night. Hotel reservation got bumped, but everything is ok now.

    Just letting you know I'm here, and if you didn't see my book in the bookstore thursday (or early friday) that's because it wasn't there. But it is now!

Next Chapter of Last Brony is Almost Ready! · 8:39am Apr 1st, 2014

APRIL FOOLS!


Naw, I'm just fucking with you. It actually is about there.

I know I always keep you guys waiting a long time for updates to Last. It's been, what? 4 months? Not the longest time, but still quite a while. You guys are very patient! But I feel that I need to take my time with Last to keep its quality up. I could just force myself to write it, but in some ways, I feel like that would bastardize what has become my most popular and praised work.

The thing is, Last doesn't have editors or prereaders or what have you, I do all that on my lonesome. But the thing is, once I've finished a chapter, I generally take about 1 week to go over it, edit and tweak it. Then I take another week or two to find the perfect time to publish it. It's very time consuming. Anyway, since you guys are so patient, I have a special treat for you. What I'm going to do today is let you all read the unedited version. Now, it might have a typo or two, which I despise, so please bear with me on that. But the bulk of the story and dialog should be the same as the final finished product. Oh yeah, also, bbcode formatting doesn't transfer to google docs... sorry.

But since I am giving you this early, I'd really appreciate it if you'd at least open the chapter here on fimfiction after I actually publish it. Keeps the story views up. :twilightsheepish:




>>>> Here's the Google Docs Link. Enjoy!




Also, I hope you all enjoyed my latest story, if you haven't, I highly advise you check it out.

Stay brony, my friends.

I can't wait for this to be all polished up, I noticed a few little mistakes here and there but I'm sure you'll fix them up well and truly before posting the chapter.

It is quite a Thwist when Dane found out that he is imaginary. It certainly is a mistake on his part when he mentions that that he ate horse meat. It is a superthwist when while lynching him for eating horse-meat, ShoeShine accidentally gets his blood in her mouth and discovers that humans are delicious. ¡The ponies who lynch him for eating horse-meat eat him!

¿I wonder about the significance is in the last sentence in the last paragraph when Spike retrieves the book “An Human For Ponies” from the stacks is? ¡You certainly end on a cliffhanger!

One does not simply click links on April fools day. I will be the patient and wait, lol.
-Reader Out-

Heh. April fools jokes for the win.

If you need an editor, ask. I'm sure there are people who wanna do it. Like me. But I'm already editing for like five people and I'm currently stuck in bed, so that wouldn't work too well. Screw being sick.

Well heck, if you want someone to help edit I wouldn't mind giving a hand. I like to think that I do a decent job.

:twilightangry2: That's it. I give up. Every time i think there's some good new, it's either someone being a jackass, or a "prank". I was legitimately excited for an ACTUAL UPDATE on something......:fluttershysad:


...It's settled then. I'm sleeping until tommorrow.

You motherbuckin misborn foal of Discord. That was mean.

A trick within a trick?! Red, you son of a bitch you cease to amaze me yet again! One of these days I'll top you–

What the fuck am I rambling on about?

1971888 Naturally.
1971999 I take it you've read that story? Funny thing is, that's about where I'm going with that one. That is, that humans are so unfathomably delicious, that ponies would bypass moral standards to eat them. :twilightoops:
1972161 It's not a screamer, I promise!
1972385 1972443 Eh, it's not that I can't find a good editor, it's that I don't particularly care for the whole 'editing' thing in the first place.
1974909 Shit, I'm sorry dude. Didn't mean to ruin your day, just a harmless prank, right? :pinkiecrazy: If it's any consolation, a lot of what I wrote just last night is actually very much usable for the chapter. Spoiler: He's going to meet Lyra. Basically, writing this put me in the creative groove, so it should be much easier to continue on. :yay:

1975244 Heheh... I can be a devious bastard on occasion... :trollestia:

1975543 Fair enough for fanfiction, but keep in mind that 95% of professional writers have at least one editor, and usually more, there is a reason for that.

1976117 I have zero intention of going pro. :trixieshiftleft: I'm a mechanic.

4 LYFE.

1975543 Hmm.... So can I edit for you despite you not wanting it?

If you say no, I will begin posting everything I find wrong with this in a massive essay in the comments, Zero Punctuation-style. :pinkiecrazy:

1975543

Touche Redbrony, Touche.

1976614 Mother of Celestia...

1978114 I will do it.

I have the patience and determination required.

You'll never get away. :pinkiecrazy:

Actually, lemme clarify: If you don't get AN editor - I don't care who - I'll do that.

1976117 Found a grammar error: You used a comma splice. You probably meant this:

...and usually more; there is a...

1978784 Good for you?

1978784 1978792 That's another reason I dislike having editors. Consider it wrong, unprofessional, or whatever you want to label it, I write how I like. I use the rules of writing and language like guidelines, not rules. If I want to have a comma where there should be a semi-colon, damn the rules, I'm gonna do it! If I want to address a person by name and not put a comma before their name, I'm gonna do it. That's just how I roll homie.

Personally, I put the story and how it reads above the importance of conforming to standards. But that doesn't mean I don't respect those standards. As I'm sure you've seen, I'm kind of a grammar Nazi when it comes to my own writing.

1979523

I put the story and how it reads above the importance of conforming to standards.

From what I understand this is exactly what it means to be a great editor. The whole point of editing is to perfect the sharing of ideas and information. Sometimes the rules aren't the best way to do that, you lose a part of the author's voice when you cut it down like that.

1979523 Actually, in my case, it's OCD. I literally cannot allow an error to continue to exist.

Thankfully, I just discovered that if I read quickly, I don't notice the errors! That's a few hours of discomfort avoided.

When I edit, though, I mark everything, but don't change anything. It's the author's choice whether or not to correct it.

1979537 imageshack.com/a/img507/373/pinkieindubitably.gif

1979658 Since you haven't said anything, I'm assuming my stories are relatively error-free already :rainbowwild:

By the way you guys are a couple of ass kissers. (And I mean that in the nicest possible way :scootangel:) Do you really want to edit for me that bad? I must say then, I'm flattered. :twilightsmile: I suppose I'll keep you guys in mind.

1980252 We'll be here!

1980252 I've been sick. :flutterrage:

But if you want me to, I suppose I can spare the time between coughing up my lungs and trying not to vomit.

So, uh, almost ready, huh?

I'm not gonna stop hounding you about this.

2161407 It is almost ready. Not gonna tell you when it'll actually be done though :raritywink:

2163059 Gods be damned, it had better be out in a week, or by the Night Angels themselves I swear you will never see the end of the notifications.

Also, if you happen to want an editor, I'll totally do it. I need an excuse to reread your story and nitpick it.

2163074 I just got done telling you (in another blog post I think) that I don't like editors editing my stories... :unsuresweetie:

2163098 But I replied before I read that comment.

You still have no excuse. Whether or not you like editors, if they do their job all they do is make a story better.

I tend to do my job.
