Lazy Friday at Work Blog (A Thank You and updates going forward) · 6:34pm Aug 12th, 2016

My god, i love this picture...

So i wanted to start out by thanking everyone for the great feedback and responses on chapter 130. I said this multiple times in comment replies, but i'll say it here for everyone to see.

I'm SO GLAD and SO HAPPY that chapter 130 turned out well and everyone had such an intense emotional response to it. There have been many events in PTH where i've been excited and have anticipated finally getting to, but so far 130 was by far the most. Chapter 130 was a moment in the story i have been thinking about since i first planned out this fic, even before i started writing it. I was incredibly nervous writing it, hoping that it would have the same impact i had been imagining for so long, and to see it have that exact impact and MORE... has been amazing. It's made me confident that i can tackle these important chapters. And has definitely given me a much needed confidence boost heading into the next super important chapter... which is 140 :moustache: But seriously, in terms of 130... Thank you all so much, you all made me a very happy author :pinkiesad2:


Now... going forward.

Chapter 131's chapter map/outline is already completed. I plan to start work on it monday, using this weekend to relax and recharge after such an intense sequence (chapter's 129-130). Looking forward at my major outline, these next few chapters will likely be shorter, so the waits won't be as long.

Now for blogs, i have a list of blogs i'm going to try to get to this coming week. likely in this order:

Legends of Equestria blog... lots of fun (and some scandalous :rainbowwild:) screenshots and a vid or two to share.

A blog about my trip to florida and meeting with Foxena at Megaplex. (Along with a few things i got while there)

A new fan art blog.

A blog featuring art gifts i recieved on my birthday from people here (Will put this one last since i think some people are still working on a a piece or two)


But we all know what everyone wants to know is when chapter 131 will be out :derpytongue2: So as i said, the chapter outline is complete, and i will start writing it on monday. Definitely wont be as long, so the wait will be shorter.

Thanks again for everyone's great feedback on chapter 130!

ONWARD! :pinkiecrazy:

I'm working on something Birthday related for you. If only I can get past this burn out I've tossed myself... UGGG!

Can't wait for the next chapter Calm, but those last two were if anything epic.

I wish I had a way to contact you, cuz I got a picture of Fleetfoot I think you might like.

Oh, and I'm with some guys thinking of making a TV Trope page for your work. We just need a name for the whole thing.

I'm still shaking from 130 damnit!

Also, can't wait for the LoE blog xD

Oh? you could PM me the picture (I mean, if it's on your computer)

I actually don't know how the whole tv tropes thing works so can't help much there :twilightblush:

Definitely wont be as long,

We'll just see, now won't we? :rainbowlaugh:

4146215 Oh, we got the basics run down and I know a guy who knows some guys.

All we need at this point, I think, is a name. We could say "Calm Wind's Ponyverse" since it involves a lot more than just the Wonderbolts, but if you wanna make an input, that'd be great.

this time im pretty sure of it :rainbowlaugh:

I still refer to my entire universe as the Wonderverse because the natural abilities of all three pony races are turned up much more than they are in the show in general. (Earthponies = great strength Unicorns = green lantern esque control of magic Pegasi = potential for extreme flying abilities, speed and maneuverability):eeyup:

Cool! I can't wait to see the LOE blog post because I was with you on one of the days.

Can't wait to read chapter 131

Please tell me when you say shorter, that means the chapter lenghts will be going back to 3,000-8,000 words long. I really hate reading chapters that are 10,000 words long as it is, just because it takes me about an hour to read them.:facehoof:

/me is 5 chapters behind because reasons.
/me sighs.

I actually didn't really like this chapter, but I had a haunch that this moment actually meant a lot for you so I refrained myself from commenting, so as not to be a moodkiller. Also at this point I felt like you had a pretty good grasp on my taste thus you would know most of my criticism in advance.

Think of it as my birthday present. :pinkiehappy: (no not really)

Now I eagerly wait to if my prediction comes true or not. And once again Happy Birthday.

Oh i wouldn't have minded :rainbowlaugh: I can take constructive criticism, doesn't matter what chapter im on :derpytongue2:

But you're right, since this has similarities to other action chapter's you've not been very fond of, i pretty much already have an idea what your commentary would be :twistnerd:

Well in a few words:
First about 10k words: Really boring shonen anime stuff. Only this time with bigger magic and more standing up after beaten down. I actually had to force myself through that part.
Nightshade trying to lure silver to the dark side: That was by far my favourite part of the chapter, it legitimately caught me off-guard even though by all means it shouldn't have. (That's a BIG compliment. For me the best plot-twist is one that i can't see coming but wanna kick myself for not foreseeing them when I'm looking at them in retrospect)
The rest: A really predictable scene nicely but not awesomely written. Solid 6/10 stuff (yeah I'm not really the kind of guy who starts grading with 8 so a 6 from me is still counts as a compliment, albeit a small one)

Well glad to have satisfied something :pinkiecrazy:
