I have a major problem · 5:58am Nov 29th, 2016
I can't write The Perilous Gestation of Swans until Princess Twilight Sparkle's School For Fantastic Foals has ended. A major world shaping event takes place in the ending and now I can't write the other story because it will reference the ending events. It is very, very frustrating.
It's driving me nuts. That is all.
You could still *write* it. And then, when PTSSFFF is finished, you could release a whole bunch of chapters at once?
Not that I'm saying that for my own selfish benefit or anything
Maybe this will help with that.
write it and don't submit it until your other story is complete
That must hurt! But we trust in you Kudz!
Write anyway, hold off releasing. Have a buffer stored up for scheduled releasing. Embrace the professionalism.
Well, considering how very deep we are into Princess Twilight Sparkle's School for Fantastic Foals it can't be too much longer. When coming up on chapter 100 soon at the current rate it seems like it should be wrapping up. Just start writing and release a fair number of chapters together early on after the last chapter for PTSSfFF gets released.
That sounds frustrating.
You can write it. You just can't post it until Princess Twilight Sparkle's School For Fantastic Foals is done. In fact, you should write it. You can spend you time writing and cackling with maniacal glee because you know exactly what is going to happen and we don't.
I agree with everybody else's write it ad release it later ideas. Then I can binge read it!
I know exactly how that feels. I've got a whole series of stories – seven of them – that I want to write, and not a single one can be written/released until I finish Order of Shadows, because the ending of OoS is the beginning of 6 out of the 7.
Be strong, bro.
On the plus side, you've now confirmed for me that PTSSFFF is actually going to end, rather than be one of those stories that just keeps going forever with a bunch of miniature parts, so now I don't feel like I followed it for no reason.

It is turning out longer than I had calculated, but we race for the ending sequence.
Tbh I'm surprised we haven't seen a post like this before now
The story has stretched a bit. Depending on typeface right now if Princess Twilight Sparkle's School for Fantastic Foals were converted to novel form it would be over 1000 pages on the high end (considering young adult content high end is more likely) and low end still well over 600 pages.
Stupid question, couldn't you just do what this person says?

Maybe not release them all at once if you don't want to, maybe release them in a trickle of your leisure (I know web comic people keep a backlog when they can)
Either way, I don't think any of us are preventing you from writing it and just not publishing it yet. Though if you can't write without publishing, I swear I'll not open the new story until Twilight's School is done. Pinkie promise.

Time spent writing Gestation is time spent not writing PTSSFF, thus delaying it.
4322999 Possible solution: grow more hands and get a second keyboard.
4322999 Doesn't Gestation occur at the same time as The Mask Make The Pony, if so, shouldn't we already know what the event is?

No.

I added the seasons icon to the Mask items. Does that make it more clear?

Having read the relevant stories, I am under the assumption the 'The Mask Makes The Pony' starts between 'The Perilous Romance of Swans' and PTSSfFF, is that correct?
Edit TMMTP not TMWW.

Nope. Spring of that year, before either of those starting.
4336769 Sorry I meant 'The Mask Makes The Pony' not 'The Mask We Wear'

Yes. It happens in the spring.
The sequel takes place a year later, in the spring after Swans and School.
