Release 99 & Question · 8:12pm Jul 26th, 2015
Almost the hundredth chapter! This is the official start of the last arc of the story now. I estimate two to four chapters within it or so, and then the three endings. Each ending MAY have its own epilogue, but I haven't decided if I'm including it into the chapter or making it a separate post. Regardless, the updating once we hit the ending area is going to get a little wonky. I'm going to be writing all three endings up ahead of time, and then releasing them fairly fast, with one to two days only between them. Hence, there might be a longer waiting time between the last official chapter release, and the start of the three endings. I'm not going to commit myself to a time there yet, given that it can fluctuate quite a bit. I'll keep everypony updated via blog entries though, of course.
Actually, I'll ask for input for that right now. Would you ponies rather see the ending and epilogue pairings as separate entities, or would you rather have longer chapters where the endings and epilogues are built into the same chapter? Interested in opinions here so no official 'voting' per se. Just curious about feedback.
Thank you, everypony! It's been quite a ride so far, and we're in the final stretch! Hang on tight, and I hope you enjoy the chapter!
Forgiveness and Memory Pending are now participating in the Tournament of Canterlot! It's essentially a fundraiser 'tournament' that has authors participating to see who can raise the most money for Oxfam, an organization that helps global humanitarian efforts, in particular the Syrian Civil War, which has displaced millions and is one of the biggest crisis in the world today.
If you want to help out and donate money to the cause, either visit the link below, or follow the link in any of the other stories that are participating in the tournament. You'll be 'voting' for them, and helping a very important cause at the same time! Win-win, right? 
Only donate money that you're comfortable with, of course. This message shall be stuck at the bottom of each release blog, just as a reminder.

Three endings?
...interesting.
Hmm... Probably best to have the epilogue in the chapter, just put a 'epilogue' thing in where adage break would normally go.
...oh and I'll try to catch up this week.
I'd like to see the epilogues included in the chapter with the ending they go with. Keeps things neat and simple to follow.
~Have a good one.
As long as each ending and its epilogue are not separated by another ending I'll be fine.
Also, last arc ? Well I guess Mender deserves his rest... or not ?
Which ever works best for you Kiro
Do I get my MenderxDash?

I would say sequel, but after a million words, I fear any mention of such would cause Kiro to just flat out melt.
I too am in favor of ending + epilogue chapters, even if it means a longer break before they are posted. So excited (insert Final Countdown music here)!

Ending + epilogue in one chapter would be best, so as not to confuse people with three endings. Maybe even put a "choose your own ending" set of links at the end of the chapter before them. You know, so we can decide if we want happy, sad, or tragic.
If I'm perfectly honest, I'd prefer this wonderful story to never end. Knowing that it has to, however, I'd prefer each branch have its own chapter.
Multiple endings? What?
I think that merging each anding with epilogue in the same chapter will be better.

Same over here.
I never want it to end
Endings, huh?

I'd prefer all endings to be baked into a single chapter.
