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...

New chapter is up! · 11:28pm Aug 2nd, 2016

Welp, I uploaded the next chapter. Have fun!

It's weird, even after so long, I still feel like I know the personalities of all my characters very well. I suppose it helps that I reread my story, but still, I normally forget everything I learned 10 months ago.

Oh yeah, to be perfectly honest, I had a nearly complete chapter saved in google docs. It didn't really feel right though, so once I looked at it again, I changed a couple major parts.

The data management of this story is still a bit of a problem. The excel spreadsheets should work well enough... I still want maps, but that just takes too long.

Anyway, I hope you're all still as eager to see what happens next as I am.


(Warning: spoilers.)

In the chapter, For any of you who liked Andres... Well, that sucks. I would normally hold back and not say his fate, but I think it's kind of obvious given the attempted murder/regicide/inciting mob violence/assault. I mean, he's clearly a criminal. I suppose it might be pretty interesting seeing how the whole group deals with him though.

Chrysalis, on the other hand... well, she's not really doing well either. I want to keep her as the leader though, so she's going to have to have some of her crazy dealt with. I'll be honest, I'm definitely looking forward to that.

Pinkie, Discord, and Spike was a hard trio to write about. I think I wrote Discord well, but Spike and Pinkie were kind of hard. They might help solve some problems a bit too quickly if they interact enough, given their knowledge of Equestria, but then again, they might not. I'll have to check over the next chapter I write to see if I'm making things to easy for my little group of changelings.

Eh, I suppose I could always throw something else at them if things start getting to easy.

Gah! There's just so many interesting paths to look into in this story! It's hard to remember what set of characters I need to write about when there are so many characters I want to write about!

Well, seeing as Chryssie doesn't centuries with noling to train to, if imagine the very fact of no longer being alone should help. But she certainly needs psychological support. I just hope it all ends well for her, she's my favourite Mlp character.

And I hope that the wait fit the next chapter will be a tad shorter. :trollestia:

It's OK, you can eliminate andres, I don't like him either...
