    Soon!

    I think I've used that blog title three or four times now.

    Anyway! New chapter of Spectacular Seven is almost done! I was hoping it would be done this week so I could post it on Saturday, but I need to rewrite a scene. And that's before I edit it! And before Drakey edits it! The good news is...

    Ten Years, Still Here

    I think back to my nascent days here, reading stories and typing out my own, hoping for the day where I could call myself a veteran of the fandom. My stories would be remembered and I would stand alongside authors like Pen stroke and Aragon.

    And I look where I am now and go, ‘well, you got one big hit. Good enough.’

    Thank You

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe or spread the word for it. It really means a lot. Thanks to your donations and getting a little more on my first paycheck than I thought I would, I should be able to stay afloat again.

    My Turn to Ask for Help

    Hello friends.

    I'm trying to raise money for me and Amber Spark after we suffered an accident with a U-Haul truck. The link to the GoFundMe page is here.

The Homestretch · 7:13am Jul 20th, 2015

Hey guys, sorry about that last cliffhanger.... well, not really. I was sustained on your tears alone for the last few days. However, I am sorry the next chapter is taking so long. You see, I had it written out, then I went into talks with my editor about the progression of the final chapters of the story. We bounced a few ideas back and forth, but discussing things really made me stop and think about how exactly everything was going to go.

I like to pretend I wing things, but I actually try my hardest to plan things out.

Right now, I'm kinda dancing on a fine thread between what I want, and what the story is demanding to happen. It's almost taken a life of its own. I'm juggling between making things too easy, or overly complicated. Rest assured, this is now, like, the only thing eating away at my brain, and I'm devoting as much time as I'm allowed to pondering things.

I'm not saying the story is on hiatus, because I'm constantly working on things. But, there might be a delay to the next chapter as I line up everything for the finale. I'm going to be writing out several scenarios and finding which one works the best. I thought I had one, but as I look at it, I'm thinking 'this is too easy.' I want to be absolutely sure what I write is good for the story.

So again, not a hiatus, just a delay as I make sure the story is perfect. One everything is lined up, I'm going to try my hardest to throw the chapters at you like back when this first started.


Like a phoenix burning bright...

Take your time. Don't rush it. :pinkiesmile:

I can not put into words how much I admire you for this decision. There is a separation between a happy ending and a good ending and a lot of people don't acknowledge this. And even though I'm not able to pull it off myself, I admire people who don't go the easy path. I hope I'm already following you, and If I'm not, I'm stupid and you've gained another follower.

Take your time, write out ever scenario you want to in full detail before deciding on the best one, then let us see the alternate endings somehow! ^_-

I am okay with the wait, it's not the worst one that I have been through. I just got to know, are you still thinking of a sequel?

It's no big deal! <3.

I completely understand that you want to take your time with the finale. There are just so many ways the story can go, like everyone has been commenting. It makes perfect sense that you need to write everything and lay it in front of you to really look at things more objectively and decide what's the right way to go :3.

Take your time! nobody's going anywhere! <3

I know you well enough to rest assured Twilight and Sunset *will* reconcile, if not necessarily hook up, though I think they will. So, take your time and sort out the best way to move ahead. Better to do that than rush things and realize you could have done better.

Alway's remember, we know where you post.... :trixieshiftleft:

3253973 Oh, rest assured, that's still going to happen.

Waaa?! I had no idea that was a thing! It's exciting to hear there's going to be a sequel! :D

I am constantly worried about this story. Good stories are the ones most like to go unfinished and this one if absolutely bucking amazing. Best SunLight I've read. That said take the time you need to write it out the way you want it.

3254804 ....

A sequel..?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:raritystarry::pinkiehappy::pinkiegasp:
