The Element of Personal Growth · 2:44am Nov 3rd, 2015
I've just rewritten the first short story I ever posted on Fimfiction. I did this in part to show how far I've come as a writer over the past year. Here it is:
The Element of Surprise
Surprise!
It's one of my best works. If you've read it, I hope you'll read it again. 
If you haven't read it, I think you should! I'm willing to bet you'll be glad you did.

Well then, time to go read again!
Oh shit! This story was an instant favorite when I read it, and yet it went forgotten for quite some time. I'll definitely have to reread this very soon. Thank you so much for sharing!
Can you possibly maybe send me a copy of the original? I would like to read it... (I haven't yet... Sorry :c) Just been sitting in my backlog forever...

I thought about retaining it as a second chapter, but I didn't. I'm pretty sure you can get it through Fimfarchive, though.

Although to be honest, I was thinking of including the old version as an extra chapter. I'm still vacillating over whether or not I should.

That's a good idea. I'll see if I can recover it from Fimfarchive, and then I'll put it on Google Docs with a link on the title page. Or maybe as a separate chapter, still vacillating on that.
