Wow. Visiting this site again was like going back to my old neopets page. So much nostalgia.

    Where art thou, oh Artichoke?

    Sorry, I'm a bit busy. I had two hobbies before I got a job. Writing here, and developing AI. I hit a wall here with the new changeling episode, but in my AI development, I found a highway.

    Look at my AI! My AI is amazing!

    The New Hive Super Edit

    Just letting you guys know I nearly redid the entire last chapter because of a few complaints I got. (In case re-publishing didn't work.) They were definitely valid, even if I didn't agree 100% with the reasoning behind them, and now I think my story's much better because of the changes I made.

    Keep up the constructive criticism!

    Hello guys. Here's part of what I've been doing while I've been rewriting my main story:

    Would you like a collab?

    I've actually been thinking of adding some collaboration into 'The New Hive' since its inception. I can't really create a realistic representation of humanity all by myself after all.

    Waiting for editors to compile...

    So, my next chapter's done. Just need to wait for editors to do their thing. And from what I can see from the first editor, I made quite a few mistakes.

    Well, now I have guilt-free free time... What should I do... Hmm...

Done Spreadsheeting. Now working on new chapter. · 2:00am Jul 31st, 2016

Hey guys. Sorry about the wait for the next chapter. i said it was going to be a long one...

Unfortunately, I lost some of my files, which slowed things down.

In a way though, it also sped things up: for example, instead of creating a map for areas, I could just write down the important details about them...

Like the changeling cave not having stalactites and stalagmites... which I noticed I mentioned twice later in that same chapter... go me.

Anyway, I finished making the excel spreadsheets of the characters and locations, and I actually saved them to my desktop so I wouldn't lose them. Now I'm about 15% done looking over the new chapter again, after which I'll have my editors look at it... whichever ones are still interested. Whichever ones they happen to be, those are the awesomest editors.

Oh, by the way, I hope you like words, because the new chapter is about 12000 of them right now... If anyone wants to help with the story, I could show you some of those words... Just grab my hand, little one, and I'll show you a world filled with imagination... come with me, little one... come with me, to never never land...

Oh yeah, I'd guess I'm at... hmm... 60%?

I'll see how much I can finish tomorrow... if you can't tell by all the ellipses... I'm kind of... tired...

*Passes out

Edit: Oh yeah, I almost forgot, it's my birthday... Fun was had... zzzzz.....

Happy belated birthday. Knowing that you're back gave me the incentive to finish reading the available chapters, I can honestly say that this is one of the most intriguing and unique setups for a changeling story. Want more!

Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

I'll try to have the next chapter out by next weekend. Actually, the next chapter is currently being edited, so it's pretty likely it'll be out by the weekend.
