    It's ali~ive!

    It was a long slog, but Pony Predators of Equestria is finally ready to be re-uploaded!

    By and large, things haven't changed too much, and not as much as I was originally aiming for, but I still like where it ended up. The short version of the main changes being:

    On Hiatus again

    So, as the title says, Pony Predators of Equestria is on hiatus again. It isn't dead by a long shot, and I do fully intend to start updating with new chapters again, however one thing that's become unfortunately apparent to me is that the story in its current form is just not sustainable for me to keep writing. There's simply too much going on for me to keep track of it all, too many plot

    Downvotes/Dislikes on comments

    So, there has been a tendency of posts that are critical or questioning on aspects of chapters to all get a downvote/dislike. Whoever's doing that, could you please stop? I know it doesn't really matter, and "points" or "likes" or whatever aren't counted towards anything on fimfiction, but please save the dislikes for people who are actually being rude or insulting, rather than just asking a

    Fimfiction's word count

    What is the world does fimfiction count as a word? I finished writing Chapter 24.33 in Libre Office, which gave the word count as ~6600 words. Then I uploaded the chapter here, and suddenly it's getting counted as over 7300 words. I'm just... so confused :pinkiecrazy:

Progress and Process · 8:26am Dec 8th, 2015

So, art progress:
1) I tried sketching rather than drawing a whole line in one go. It went badly.
2) Tried again, and it went better!
3) The traced out the lines and... well, it's progress, especially given that it took me an hour and a half to draw a decent circle with I first started :twilightblush:

Words to live by.

And story/writing process, in case anyone's interested why updates take ~3 weeks:

Step 1) Rough Outline, takes ~1-3 days.
Step 2) Detailed Outline, takes ~1 week
Step 3) Rough Draft, takes ~1 week
Step 4) Revising, takes ~1 week

I don't know if this is the "best" way per se, but it's worked well enough and the iteration really helps catch errors since I don't have an editor/proofreader/etc.

Do you use gdocs at all?

I tried sketching rather than drawing a whole line in one go.

Wrong. You are supposed to draw the whole line in one go so that it is smooth. Sketching like that just makes it look squiggly.

Not particularly, I've used it once or twice for random things but got frustrated at certain actions (like the right-click menu) not working in firefox that worked in chrome for whatever reason.

That... does make a certain amount of sense, now that you point it out.

3603677 Ah, I see. REgardless, if you'd like a second set of eyes for proofing, I'd be more than willing to help. especially since I love the vampony concept you have used and am stealing it for my own use

Thanks, as far as I'm concerned the more eyes looking for errors the better. This next chapter is looking to be a longer one, but once it's ready I'll see about getting it up on google docs.
