Minor clean-up on isle: Dark Horse · 5:16pm Aug 17th, 2015

Nothing much, mainly getting my hands from out of my ass about purging those semicolons and ellipses.

Oh, and speaking of tweaks, I made a few. Nothing big enough to be worth reporting or re-reading for, though. A few words here and there, nothing more.

For more details:


Chapter #1:

Minus ~16 semi-colons. Forgot to keep track of how many, sorry stat-fiends, but now only the ones in the comments remain. Woot-woot!

Of a whopping 143 (!) ellipses now 109 remain (counting comments, 90 without). Still quite a lot, but given how hesitant the theme of #1 is I don’t think I can tweak it much more than that without an outright rewrite.

Chapter #2:

Semicolons: 46, now 1.

Ellipses: 165 (again with comments), now…

Actually, I don’t have a clue. For some reason chapter #2 is really damn buggy when it comes to the search function. I think I’ve culled it down to 119, but I’m genuinely not quite sure.

Still quite a few, but again, a rather hesitant theme were the two parties are measuring each other up before the blows start being dished out, so I think it fits.

Even so, despite ctrl-f I feel my mind melting a bit, so I think I need a bit of a break before I dive in again with chapter #3 onward. :applejackconfused:

Yup, that's how you know you are getting some good hard editing in!

Death to ellipses! :raritywink:

Mb an update? :fluttershysad:

Sad, but true. :ajsleepy:

Know it's something of a standard answer, but working on it.

Not quite sure I dare say it, but hopefully this or next week.
