    But how do I explain?

    All my friends,

    I know how long I've kept you waiting. I can't begin to justify why I haven't had time to finish my stories, and for that, I am very, very sorry.

    I just don't know what else to say. I have no excuses - but I do have an explanation of sorts, if you will bear with me.

    Since starting my own engineering company about a year and a half ago, this is my daily timetable:

    FAN ART

    My emotions just exploded.

    From the spectacular 1110Soulite. God, I feel so funky right now!

    And yes, I know - I'm late. VERY late. Editing! Rewriting! Gorilla panic!

    At last, a new chapter!

    Hey there, everyone!

    I'm really sorry about the delay. Several things happened recently that really screwed up my writing.

    First, I moved house, and the 'Net took TEN SODDING DAYS to be hooked up. No Internet, no Google Documents. Woo yay.

    Second... Minecraft.

    And just to really piss you all off...

    Sorry, guys... You're gonna hate me.

    'Glim' takes some very dark paths from now on. Chapter 17 is almost done, and it'll be up as soon as possible. WORKING LIKE A MANIAC HERE!

OH HALP · 8:48am Jul 10th, 2012

Help. Help, help, help...

How does a chapter - a simple chapter, mind you - go from a 500-word outline to 3,000 words, then to 7,500 words, then back down to 5,600 words, then to over 10,000 words, and all in just a day or two? I'm wandering, blindly wandering in the dark and I've lost my way...



I know we just met, and yes, I know it sounds really, uh... really forward of me, but, um... Oh gosh, I don't usually do this...

Would you mind if I... That is if you're not doing anything, um...

Would-you-like-to-preread-for-me?!


Ahem. Would anybody be available to look Chapter 13 of Glim over and point out where I'm going wrong? I'd love it if you can :yay: Flttrshy :yay: did a stellar job for me on an earlier draft, but she's away for a few days and I would LOVE one more amazing prereader who could take half an hour or so out of their time to offer any tips.


PM me if you feel up to it! Thanks!

i've been told i have a good eye, never pre-read before but i could give it a shot

i have preread before i can do it if you want:yay:

Never pre-read before, BUT I do have a good eye for detail and mistakes.

I've also read OVER ONE MILLION WORDS in 4 weeks

223906 ha i got to 2 million in 3 weeks :pinkiehappy: :rainbowwild:but now i cant find any good storys to read :fluttercry:

223912 I avoid reading anything with human or alternate universe(which roughly half of the fics on here)

I also have at least 3 fics on my read later list and roughly 15 or so uncompleted stories in my favourites.

I also assume I haven't read all of the good fics, unlike yourself

If you need an extra pre-reader, I've been told I do a good job. :twilightsmile:

223917thats true i also dont read HiE fics , only read 2 and 1 i ddnt like it very much the other one its nice till now, all of the good storys are uncomplete like glim and a lot more that i just cant wait to read the end,
im triying to write a story but i sat on the computer wrote like 55 words and i dont know what else to write, im not much of a writer, but i love to read :pinkiehappy:
i have like 107 read latter fics

223926 wow I've pretty much favourited all the fics I've read which is only 44 in total and 26 are uncompleted

223934 i have only like 35 in my favourited fics and like 28 are uncomplete, i have read a lot but i only fav those that really get to me,like not my destiny that was the first one i ever read and it really got to me. i have read a lot of short ones and some other and like i told you i have 107 in read latter probably going to go down to 90 by friday when i read them

223937 I think there has been only one fic that I read and haven't favourited

223945 do youhave any fics that recomend me to read?? :pinkiehappy:

223950 givme givme gimve givme :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::fluttershysad::fluttershysad::yay:

I _would_ pre-read, but I don't do grimdarks. Sorry :pinkiesad2:

223951 Alright, do you have any preferences, what types do you want and I'll send you a list as a message instead of filling up the comment section (which I seem to do a lot)

223954 well i read pretty much anithing with a good plot, i like twidash fics, alicorn transformation fics, love sad fics, vampony ones, pretty much anithing that has a good plot and can entretain me, also clopfics :pinkiehappy: but they need to have a story not just clop :twilightangry2:

and sorry Smayds for filling your post like this :twilightblush:

223960 Well Then I'll pretty much send my whole favourites to you, excluding the grimdark as fuck ones if you dont want them

Sorry Smayds :twilightblush:

223961 Not to worry, carry on :D

I have four fabulous prereaders for chapter 13, thanks! Now we'll see how those poor unfortunate volunteers fare when faced with this train-wreck...

At this rate I'm going to end up with a reputation as some guy who always engineers his stories to have a happy endi- Wait. I never said that. Move along...

223965 i dont think u will be doing a happy ending you will be making me cry like a new born at the end i know it :fluttercry:
also who are ur prereaders??

223963 send all of em i can read all including grimdark:pinkiecrazy:

223967 mkay, I'll send thme once I finish reading this chapter

EDIT: Nevermind, sleepytime, I'll send the list in roughly 12 hours

223971 where do u live its only 9 am here

It seems that you are taking a page out of shortskitsandexplosion's book. At some points he churns out 20-30k word monoliths on a weekly basis. I would love to be a pre-reader if you still need one.

223979 well it's midnight here

EDIT: also, y not just click my profile and view my favorites?

223990 did it and you have a lot that i have already read:pinkiehappy: also some ones that look good

224000 Awesome, now I'm actually gonna go to sleep I swear!
