I'm editing stuff! But also incredibly dried out of writing power atm. I'll get going again soon, but just bear with me for a bit. I'm publishing a chapter of XCOM today, then start on the daily writing (not publishing) again tomorrow morning. In the meantime, always remember:
Like every year, I like to remember the man/legend responsible for the theme songs of one of my favorite shows of all time on the anniversary of his death.
So if you were wondering about the timing for the latest Isekai chapters? There you go.
These last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Good things have happened, and also bad ones. No wonder I could relate to both Furina and Navia in the latest Isekai chapter. Sometimes pretending things are fine is really exhausting, even if they do get better.
...still writing ponies. (Among other things, granted.)
First, to everyone waiting patiently for the next Isekai chapter, I apologize for the delay. I know there are a lot of people that want to see another visit to Hell happen soon, and it will, I promise. However, due to some circumstances, I decided for a different pair of visitors to visit the bar this week.
Has come a long way since it was originally thought up...
Hasn't it?
And just for kicks,
That's pretty much the planning document at its bare bones....

Holy hell.
It sure has!
And we all wonder where it'll go...
When you give enough thought and depth to world, you will find that it will start writing itself after a while. That moment when something in a story you wrote happens simply because it must happen more than you thought of it yourself, is probably my favorite part of writing. This story has a lot of heart. I've reread the Best Night Ever part a couple times. Thank you for putting so much of your thoughts and time into this.
Good heavens, yes.
Eeyup. I still remember when you came and asked me about the idea in the Chat of The Empty Room Chapter... 22, I think it was. Good times... Still good times, granted, but... yeah...
Edit: Deleted self-important whining. The rest of the post remains unchanged.
Yes, it's no longer green. Amazing!
You've come a long way to go, in the short time to get there. You've gone and done what they said can't be done!
Okay, rewritten soundtrack to Smokey and the Banditaside, impressive. *Applauds*
One day I may use planning documents... one day. I just find them limiting though. Either way, DAMN.
What would you say has been the risk or change that has paid off the most in terms of what you are most proud of or what was really well received by readers?

This one.
"I'll introduce a villain in the second or third chapter."
Ah, story planning. It never goes entirely as one expects, and that's part of the fun.
Thanks for the peek behind the scenes, and for continuing to plug away at this wonderful monstrosity of a story.
Y there's no upvote for blog post, especially this one?
TSC has grown every step of the way, D. I remember predicting to myself that it'd reach the 250k word mark before the end of chapter ten, and now it looks like double that count wouldn't be too far off.
On a different note, have you seen the official names for Rarity & Sweetie Belle's parents? Their Mom is Cookie Crumbles, while their Dad is Hondo Flanks. This is going to be weird for the fandom...
2133732 Their official names? Eh. I don't care. They're dead in Sweetie's original world anyway.

While true for the TSC base world, it isn't for future possible worlds. Maybe you could use that as a motivation for some kind of family moment. I'd find it interesting if a fragment required her to spend some time with them, but she was so abstinent about doing so that it takes her forever to even figure out how to obtain it. That'd make for a pretty good twist, considering that you're mainly focusing on harder and harder ways of getting to the fragments.
2133834 Even then, I would use the names of the parents the author would have chosen. And honestly, those names suck. How are they official?
2133920
Yeah, I can agree that the names aren't the best, but who really cares? You still see fics that use the name Ditzy Doo for Derpy, after all. Anyway, their names are official because of the MLP CCG. The second set comes out on Friday, and they're in it. We're getting a ton of names for the characters in the show from it, most of which are going to make little to no sense whatsoever. I mean, 'Liza Doolots'? What the heck kind of name is that!? Pony names are supposed to make sense, people!
It doesn't surprise me at all that your planning document has a higher word count than more than a few stories in their completed entirety.
2133434
Wow... that is definitely a very brief summary of what is by far the longest segment in the story.
If one can read only 1 MLP:FIM-story, read the Sweetie Chronicles because it is every MLP:FIM-Story
I think I'm going to steal your summary-based planning format. Hey, if it helped get you
then there must be something to it, right?
(I need to actually read Fragments, btw. I hear it's pretty good.)
I love the Work in Progress title, it says everything about the story and is very
boring. Why didn't you keep that one?That is what I call true beauty in words.
This gives me hope for my own writings. Thank you for all the inspiration this fic has given me (which is alot)
