This should be a surprise to no one... · 10:07pm Jan 8th, 2015

I underestimated how much ground my outline for the part 2 finale would cover...

I have 12 or so scenes planned... the first 3 took up 10K words... and i don't want to go over 26K-ish. So after i finish the fourth scene i will release it as chapter 67 and then have chapter 68 be the part 2 finale. :rainbowkiss:

So keep an eye out! With this change i have the next chapter 75% complete and hope to have it done real soon :eeyup:

Not that surprised at all... :rainbowlaugh: So for the whole story,how many more chapters do you estimate?

2 behind now, total of 38 on the site.

Just can't find the motivation to read anything. :fluttercry:

i originally thought it would be 80 chapters once it really took off, but now... im gonna be at 68 and only halfway, damn im looking at 130+ chapters if this keeps up :rainbowlaugh:

2709451

I'm not holding a standard... on your time and own pace buddy :rainbowkiss:

2709457 2709458 More than half of those unread chapters are on the same story, which I normally drop everything to read when they come out.

I don't want to read them without being in my normal frame of mind, which is fucked up enough as it is, because then I don't get the full effect as such.

Being unemployed sucks.

2709453 Hopefully not too far beyond that number...:rainbowlaugh:

Can't wait for more! :rainbowkiss:

2709471 Not a problem, you weren't to know. It's not so much not having a job, more how often I don't even get a reply telling me my application has been rejected. Got a good 4 more I am waiting on replies from, one of which said they'd be in touch. So finger's cross on that one.

Calm, announcements on your progress never surprise me. What would surprise me is if you had a scene where Surprise, Twister and Pinkie Pie all meet.

On second thought....DON'T DO THAT!!! The universe would end as we know it.

No! Let me amend that again... The universe would just end. No kaboom, no big explosion, no nothing. Not even a whimper. In fact, forget I said anything. I'm clearly not in my right mind right now. :pinkiecrazy:

2709566 I've only had periods of two to three weeks of unemployment between jobs for the past ten years. With the exception of a temp Christmas job, it's been two months for me.

YAY!!!! Looking forward to it.

Pencils...check
sketch pad...check
A comfy environment...check
bottles of angry orchard...check
Apple pie.......we'll see
:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

Okay, pardon my dimness, as sometimes this happens:

Are you saying you won't use more than 26K words for the 12 scenes, or are you saying you don't want 26K words in only a chapter or two?

2709561 Xd what if they tried to have a contest over who was the silliest.craziest!?!

Looking forward to it. More to read, bwahahaha! :pinkiecrazy:

My mind, it is blown sir... BLOWN I say!

2709561 I wouldn't be all that surprised if that were coming somewhere near the start of part 3. Get the bomb shelter ready. :raritywink:

I don't blame you for splitting it up. I expect big things in both parts, though! :duck:

2710218 Big things? You need to talk to Soaring about that.

2709464

Yes indeed it does, i was in your shoes for two years before my most recent job :applejackunsure:

2709561

The universe would pick itself up, tip it's hat to us, and walk out :rainbowlaugh:

2709676

I'm gonna level with you dude, i get excited wondering what you will draw from each new chapter i submit :raritystarry:

2709749

I'm saying i don't want the 12 scenes to exceed 26K words. I like my part finales longer, but too long would turn away some readers ive seen it happen to other fics. So in order to avoid it being over 26K words, i decided to make the first few scenes a different chapter (chapter 67) and then have the rest be in the finale of part 2 (chapter 68) :twilightsmile:

2710218

Hope i don't disappoint! :scootangel:

2710434 hey its the least I can do. As long as you write, I'll create....*ok I just thought of another drawing :pinkiehappy: (Thank you Luitenit Major Armstrong)* and honestly I will go crazy over any Wavefire and Firefly :pinkiecrazy::rainbowkiss::heart:

2710429 Two years? I don't think I could hold on that long. I had to go to the Job Centre and claim Job Seeker's Allowance. I didn't want even think about doing that, but had no real choice.

i was fortunate that my parents allowed me to stay with them post college, so i didn't have to deal with some of the scares you've had to, but it only took me a couple of weeks to feel like a burden. job searching didn't make it any better, i was constantly rejected and each time to me it felt like a failure because they were still stuck providing for me when i CLEARLY had the skills and the means to take care of myself.

It was more of a personal psychological thing on my end, but at the time being 23 and still having to ask my mom for money was not a very confidence boosting situation. I was comfortable and safe, but i was STUCK. I'm out, living on my own, and getting everything along now, and I feel so much more in control of my life.

2711229 I'm 28 and still live with my parents. Mum keeps saying if I need cash, they'll support me, but it feels wrong to me. I have enough savings to survive for a month, but that's without things like driving.

Still, something will come along eventually.

...how much can you make stripping off to strangers on the internet?

2711240

Guess that depends on what you have to offer :twilightoops:

2711248 I've been told my legs look good in stockings... so much so that my mum is jealous of my pins.

...yes, I'm male.

Yeesh, that's a lot of words at once. What are you, Pinkie Pie?


On another note, despite the overload of bad stuff lately, there's also been some good stuff... I think I'm up for going skydiving again.:pinkiecrazy:


SO GET ON WITH IT, SNAIL!!

2712047

OH LAWD!!!!! :pinkiegasp:


(Yay! glad to see you feeling a little better! :scootangel:)

2712548 Oh. I just realized I can't. Sorry. I just don't feel up to it anymore. I'm really sorry. Maybe another day.

2712843 Sorry. A different time. Probably. Maybe. Depends, really. I'll probably have a good day sometime in the future considering recent events, so maybe. Sorry.
