Princess Luna's Academy - Chapter Notes · 3:26am Mar 17th, 2015
Instead of talking about possible spoiler stuff in the Author's Notes, I'll be talking about vague plot points and story formatting in this nifty little blog post. If you don't want to read that stuff, just know there's a brand new chapter out, and you can read it here. Consider this a director's commentary that vaguely alludes to future events (but doesn't spoil major plot points). Still here? Awesome.
So, thanks to the advice of an editor far cleverer than I, I realized no one wants to read an entire book about Sweetie reveling in empty decadent hedonism. The good news is that I condensed what was going to be an entire book into two or three chapters. The bad news is that that means I had to rejuggle some plot elements in PLA and that necessitates adding the Tragedy tag to this book instead of book two for reasons that should be obvious if you read chapter 13. If you haven't go and do that now.
PLA has one big chapter and an epilogue left, I imagine I'll have to split the last chapter up into two parts, so expect three more updates. The good news is that those updates will probably come out around the same time, so look forward to one last update before we move to the next book. Speaking of the next/last chapter, I'm really excited about writing it because I'll get to flex my writing muscles a little bit, do something I haven't done before, and give you all a fresh pair of eyes to see the story with. Hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I'm enjoying writing it.
Until next time,
Distaff Pope
What?! You made another multi-chapter story that will take me over a month to catch-up on?
That's okay!! I enjoy them regardless!
Not unless you made it into full blown clop, and then you'd have an entirely new and different audience
2884834 And for some reason, every chapter in this story is over 10k words (The ones that weren't were just broken up so I didn't have to post a 30k or 25k chapter and realize that I'd basically written a novella for my novel).
2885124 What? I don't write clop on this account, that's crazy. I also don't write clop on any other account, but I'm not opposed to it. There was, before I re-plotted my story, a joke idea to have Sweetie throwing an orgy at her Manehattan penthouse, but that idea was jettisoned with the rest of book two. Instead, we'll just get hints at the variety and depth of her salacious activities in Manehattan once the new book two picks up.

DAMMIT.
And Sweetie Belle's blissful march to self-destruction continues unabated. Book Two is going be chock full of delicious drama at this rate. I can't wait!
You've written Swettie Belle into quite the little monster, haven't you?
Basicallly all my praise words thrown in the general direction of this story. This story is like some kind of drug. Like ponies...or... some kind of drug. Now I'm hooked, and I gotta be careful not to get caught dosing at work. Also pony emoticons for no good reason because I am in fact insane.
