    old plans, part the end

    Somebody pm'd me to ask me how this was going to end and I realized I did in fact have it in me to post this. Sure wish I'd managed it six years ago! Things in parentheses are the bits that'd take too much time to handle in this format.

    regarding fanfanfics

    To reiterate, A New Sun is dead. It's so dead that I'm having trouble forcing myself to summarize the ending. But I know a lot of people still care, because they've told me so. More to the point, someone just asked me for permission to do a sort of rework of ANS.

    old plans, part 5

    I'm busy with school, my hands hurt, and it turns out my dog has pancreatic cancer. So these are going to get shorter, but they have to happen because, I don't know, they just do.

    The following is either one or two chapters.

convo 23 teaser · 2:35am Sep 19th, 2015

Because why not? I'm leaving out parts of this passage and it's subject to change, but posting it feels like it could be a fun experiment. And for anyone wondering why my chapters need a week of editing, here is a part of the answer.

"Humanity, this is Princess Celestia. I’ve implied certain promises to my current host, the American government, so there are many things I plan to say to you that I won’t say here and now.

I’m leaving this message to explain something I’ve done this morning that news agencies are going to show you, assuming they’re vigilant enough to find out about it. You see, last night, a young woman and her associates—whose names I don’t currently intend to share with the public—kidnapped Princess Luna, my sister, and Mag Wilson, my friend and employee. Don’t worry; I found them and everyone is fine.

In doing so I’m afraid I had to deconstruct a building. I stacked the walls and ceiling neatly beside the foundation and I’m happy to help transport those pieces if the building’s owner would like me to. This is why I’m leaving this message: I want to make it clear that no one is hurt, that I had to do this to curtail all possibility of a hostage situation, and that I do NOT mean to threaten anyone. I’m only looking after my loved ones.

I’m making arrangements to make public appearances to answer any questions you might have about this or anything else, so you’ll be hearing more from us soon."

There, now stop threatening to post cooking shows on my user page every day I don't post a chapter. Or don't, actually, because I'll bet that dim sum is delicious.

yeah that all looks pretty anal, you should just edit it out entirely

See? Rad. This editor is worth what I pay him.

Exactly what I pay him.

3402558 Just for that I'm docking your wages, and by that I mean give me your lunch money.

3402447 Weeellllll... I might have used the word sub-par compared to what's already published. Otherwise your verdict seems correct. Does 'giving him your lunch money' equal paying for lunch?
I want an editor like that.

3402819 3402447 You hear that, Arcanist Ascendant? That's the cry of the people. A cry for editing. Oh, how they weep.

are you not moved by their tears

O this is going to be good.
the princesses is out of the bag and in the open now.

All the poorly written sentences and plotholes will look up and shout, "Edit Us!", and I'll look down and whisper, "No."

Humanity, this is Princess Celestia. I’ve implied certain promises to my current host, the American government,

this is truly a beauty to behold among author–editor relationships

The only part about it that's a beauty, is me.
His face is dumb. He's not the beautiful part.
