    Darkening Summary

    As I promised, here is a brief summary of The Darkening for anyone who would like to continue the story but would rather not spend the time reading the 69k word story again. Now if you haven't read the story, then please don't read this summary, it is going to cover all of the plot points very quickly, and you will get nothing from it but confusion and whiplash. You can catch the summary just

    The Darkening is Back!

    I told you it wasn't dead! Yeah, I saw it when those of you placed it in your "dead" and "graveyard" bookshelves, and I gotta say, each one of those hurt my heart a bit, but I get it. I haven't updated the story since April 2019!

    The Darkening isn't Dead, I Swear!

    So, I know I haven't really done anything here in nearly two years, but I just wanted to tell anyone who may still care that I haven't given up on The Darkening yet. The truth is, I've been in a bit of a funk since before posting chapter 7. My depression came back, harder than it has in over a decade, and with it came the old feelings of failure. Every time I sat down to write, this little

    The Darkening: Chapter 7

    Finally, it's done! This chapter gave me a lot of grief. I wrote the Twilight section over a dozen times easily, and honestly, I nearly gave up at one point. But I didn't, and thanks to a comment from my newer pre-reader, Zodiacspear, it turned out even better than I'd hoped. So look for chapter 7 to be posted next Wednesday around

    The Darkening: Chapter 6

    Chapter 6 is ready to go and will be posted next Wednesday. Chapter 7 has really given me a lot of trouble, but I think I've finally just about worked it out, and I'm hoping the next portion of it will come along much quicker. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful time over the holidays, and I also hope you'll look forward to chapter 6 after checking out the excerpt after the page break.

Story Update · 5:53am May 26th, 2014

So, up to this point I have been regularly posting a new chapter for my Apples story once a week, and feel that I should give an update. I am currently writing chapter 9 and it is really difficult. It is full of strong emotion, and I am having trouble getting the feeling just right. So I'm going to back off of it for a little bit and give myself some time to recover before attacking it once again. I promised myself that no matter how excited I get about posting the next chapter, I would always stay two chapters ahead. That way, I have a bit of a cushion in case I screw something up. So I will not be posting chapter 7 until I complete 9.

However, while I break from my Apples story, I am going to start working on a short that I have been toying with. It will be about 3 chapters long and is titled The Wish Of A Filly. It will feature Sweetie Belle and Rarity, and the strain that Rarity's demanding job puts on their relationship.

I hope that you can bear with me on this delay in my Apples story, I know that several of you are expressing your eagerness to have the next chapter, and I promise that as soon as I can get my head straight and cope with the emotions, it will be posted.

Hey, your better than me. At least you're writing. If you take a look at my blogs (and saw my insane amount of unstarted stories), you'd probably blown away.

*sigh*
But I'll get to them.

Eventually.

Can't rush perfection, BD! You know I've got you if you need a hand with the chapter before it goes live. I'd love if you let me help you, I owe you big time from Rarity Hates Rainbow Power and letting me use that idea!
