Concerning Collisions · 6:52pm Oct 20th, 2014
Well, I'm not dead. Admittedly, I should have marked myself as on hiatus, but that can't really be changed now. Sorry guys, I have a bad habit of just... dropping out of contact when things get rough. I've become a little discontent with Collision Zone, specifically the later chapters, but there are aspects of the story that had far-reaching consequences that need to be rewritten, in my opinion. And that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. The changes I've made so far are sat in Gdocs, because I didn't want there to be a jarring disconnect between old and new content. Things are mostly going to branch off around chapter six, I think, because I really rushed things past that point. There should have been more timeskips, to be honest. Even a few weeks would make the entire romance and general power creep much smoother in terms of pacing. And then there's the Yith, who I need to tie into the entire thing more cohesively than what amounts to a random encounter in Ch12, which also screwed with the overall tone of the piece. So yeah, lot of work to be done. Wish me luck :3
Good to know the fic isn't dead because I found it to be quite enjoyable.
I really enjoyed what you had so far on Collision.
If you need an editor or sounding board, I would be happy to lend a hand.

Well, Opponent was going to do some sort of comprehensive report (which is totally awesome), but the more the merrier I say. Always room for more brains in this operation, since gods know I'm deficient. So rusty at writing now

Sounds good to me! PM me about your preferred method of contact.
Glad t'hear you're still among the living.
I don't care what you write, as long as there's more of it. Granted, the romance was a little fast and could have used more bonding moments. Time skips ain't what it needs, I reckon.

That's pretty much what I'm talking about, though. The issue is that, in trying to document the contents of every day Twilight spends in Canterlot (for some unfathomable reason), I didn't leave room for those sweet little bonding moments, hence why I need to skip more time. I mean, I plotted it out afterward, and the entire thing takes place in under a week
Well I liked it so far, but I trust you. So bring on the new edits!
2546635 that's...
Really impressive. Not even bring sarcastic, I'm honestly shocked. Felt like months to me. Forget Celestia, we need more bonding between Twilight and the octopus in her head!

Yeah, sorry for breaking your immersion. It felt longer to me, too, until I actually sat down and read it critically, and then I just ended up feeling really bad
Ho shit! You're not dead! It's like my birthday and Christmas all at once!
Collision Zone is one of my top favorite stories on the site. Like... perhaps top 5 out of a thousand or so? It's one of those very rare ones where every single new chapter can instantly make me drop anything.
I don't care what you do with it in particular, I just want more.

Aw, thanks. I'm currently rewriting chapter six, so it's going to take a little while. What I've added is ridiculously cute so far, and hopefully there'll be a little more going on amidst the fluff this time. Question, though... if you could improve anything about CZ, what would you pick? PM me, if you have time, because I'm curious to know. It'll help with my rewriting efforts, I'm sure. Stay awesome!
So am I to assume things have started getting better, or will I have to resort to epic glomps to try to cheer you up? =3
