    Rant

    I'm sure a great many of you are purveyors of the fine arts. Writing, drawing, painting, singing, making music, whatever your flavour, I want to talk to you. People are going to tell you to study things that will get you a decent job, even if those things aren't in the direction you want to go. People will tell you that having dreams is nice and all, but you need to take the path of least

    Good lord!

    That's a lot of followers!

    In celebration of this crazy occasion, I'd like to ask for your opinions on something. A lot of people come to me for writing advice, and while I don't claim to be the most skilful writer, I do know some useful bits of general knowledge. Would anyone be interested in occasional blog posts where I address the most common problems budding writers encounter?

    Where is the next chapter?

    I'm not dead, nor have I been incapacitated. Every time I set a schedule, life makes it abundantly clear that it disapproves.
    My apologies for the lack of updates. I've been so frustrated with having no time or energy to write that I cut myself off from a few things, this site being one of them.

    University Days next chapter RESULTS

    The poll results are in and out of the 2,000+ readers, almost 300 voted. It's cool, I ignore blog posts too.

    Anyway, the decision has been made and the next chapter will cover the day before Octavia's birthday (AKA awkward snowy cuteness).

University Days Update Schedule · 3:13am Jul 31st, 2012

Don't worry, the next chapter will be out soon. Like the last one, however, it will be late (technically it is already, but work with me here) and I think you all deserve an explanation because you're awesome.

It's nothing serious, just unavoidable. As Vinyl and Octavia's first semester draws to a close, my real-life second semester is just beginning. My actual days at university are leaving me too tired to write University Days.

What does this mean for the story? Not much. I'm not stopping it or putting it on hiatus, that's for sure. The new chapters will just take longer to appear.

How much longer? Well, I really can't say. Less than a month, more than a week.

I hope this doesn't discourage any of you from reading onwards, but I think you have the right to know regardless.

Love, Dawn

(The next chapter will be out tomorrow or the next day, so the estimate doesn't apply to it)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!




Seriously, we've missed this!:rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss:

Sleep, good grades, social life, or ponies...pick 2. *pssst* Pick ponies Great story though, loving it.

I know that feel. Uni started up again for me too :ajbemused:

Keep up the great work!

Do what you gotta do, I can almost guarantee no one here will be "discourage" from reading onward ... it's just so good

Yeah, university tends to drain the ever-loving life-energy from one. Good to know you're not dropping it.:pinkiesmile:

While I really enjoy this story, I wouldn't mind if you were to put it into hiatus due to real life, I'm guessing the majority, if not all, of us would understand if that were necessary. Regardless, looking forward to the next.:twilightsmile:

Just make sure school always come firsts. I can wait a little while longer for a chapter if it means you getting better grades.

Wow, ur school starts early, huh?

Anyway's, don't worry about deadlines when school comes into play. I'll sure it'll be awesome regardless.

I could post "if you know what I mean" for some of this, but I won't dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png

by the way, if you gonna "cheat" us with the wait time, mind tellin us your major ya going for? :rainbowlaugh: we will happily wait as this fic is 20% cooler than rainbowdash herself! :rainbowderp:

Id like to say that this is an awesome fic, and I dont mind waiting for it. You cant help what happens in real life and so we're not gonna hold it against you.... so long as you dont stop writing this awesome story.

Btw, because of how much I enjoy this fic, you deserve a mustache :moustache:

Well obviously I'm going to have to stop following and enjoying your story because it's updating too slow. Sorry.



Just kidding, that's ridiculous! :pinkiehappy:

i could never be discouraged from reading this story this was the first fanfiction i ever started reading and im a huge fan of this story:rainbowkiss::heart:

I hear ya Dawn, University definately has a way of taking up all of one's free time, and leaving one tired :ajsleepy:, brain-dead :applejackconfused:, and a bit derpy :derpytongue2: by the end of each day. That's kind of the reason I have 243 stories in my "Read Later" list :facehoof: (I really should stop looking at the Featured Stories whenever I come to FIMFiction.net).

"I hope this doesn't discourage any of you from reading onwards..." --> :rainbowhuh: Are you kidding? What kind of bronies/pegasisters would we be if we would prefer you ditching your social life, failing in your studies, and/or having some kind of mental/emotional/psychological breakdown from the stress just to satisfy our own desire for more chapters. Take the time you need, and find the right work-life-pony balance in your life. Thanks for letting us know what's happening. I believe I speak for the majority of your followers when I say we look forward to your future additions to this story, "when and only when" :trollestia: you have time for them. We wouldn't want you to become like crazy Twilight (does crazy Twilight have a name?) from "Lesson Zero." :twilightsmile:

Good luck in your studies! Just out of curiousity, what are you studying in University?

"(The next chapter will be out tomorrow or the next day, so the estimate doesn't apply to it) " --> :pinkiegasp: YAY!!! :yay:

No And No.
I Just Installed An Add-On For More Emoticons On FimFiction.net
It only works if you have Google Chrome or Firefox.
It's Called FiMFiction Enhancements 5 and it can be downloaded on Dropbox.com , but I forgot the link, Sorrydl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/shrug_Derpy_Hooves.png
Hope It helps!dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/discord.png

No biggie. Who knows? Sometimes a break from a project can help - Clears the mind. Not that it needed help to begin with, but you know what I mean.

Take your time, dude. I say that school comes before writing fics.

Good luck with the semester!

That's impressive, most people weren't even alive during the Cretaceous period.
I kid, I kid!

Those young saurian whippersnappers! Always messing the place up with their oil deposits and tar pits...

Thanks a million for keeping us updated. Looking forward to future chapters, especially the one coming tomorrow or the next day. :pinkiehappy:

You have a better memory than me. I can't even remember what I did last year in university. I am sure most of the important information stuck in my mind ... well, hopefully a few pieces of information ... well, at least I have a piece of paper that says some knowledge should have stuck in my brain ... I mean, that's what google and wikipedia are for, right? ... :derpytongue2:

gaming, ponies, social life, school, sleep

pick 2 :twilightoops:

262328
Hey, uni is about teaching you how to find information as much as the info itself, so we're both fine! I hope. :twilightoops:

Thanks for letting us know Dawn, will hopefully be going to Uni in September :pinkiecrazy:
Love your writing:rainbowkiss:

NEXT CHAPTER!!!! WHERE IS IT :twilightangry2:
:twilightsmile: great work though and I hope Uni goes well for you :)
