We writers do not speak. We do not hear. We have no songs. We have no pictures. We only have scripture. From words we bring images. From words we bring emotion. From words we bring life.

Chapter 141 update (3/9/2017) · 10:03pm Mar 9th, 2017

And now that i have given you all diabetus...

Hold on... hold on...

*rewinds cassette-tape and presses play*

I'm going to be breaking up chapter 141.

Yes, again :twilightsheepish:

I was on the last scene of the chapter when i realized i was at 25k words and still had a metric ton of dialogue to get through, so i decided to spare you and instead split up the chapter, ending it at a point that may be a little abrupt, but will make it an easier read.

What does this mean? For starters, no more predicting when arc 3 is going to end, it's already going way beyond where i thought it would (once again...). Looking back i think PTH should have been 5 arcs instead of four, because arc 3 could easily be split down the middle. Looking at my major outline towards arc four, there's no way it's going to be as long as 3... but who knows, i dont even trust myself with this stuff anymore :rainbowlaugh:

However... what this also means is that i have an 18k word chapter ready for proofreading... and 7k words already written for the next chapter and i'm already on the final scene. So chapter 142 will be coming out very quickly after 141, kind of like how fast i used to update before my chapters started being around 15-20k words at a time :pinkiecrazy:

So hang in there! I'm already working on proofreading 141, won't be mush longer.

PTH is planned to have 4 story arcs. So there will be one more after this one.

*gets hit by the realization of having 20 more chapters left*

Aaaaaaand back to reading.

The Bernstein Bears learned too much of a good thing isn't a good thing. Now, you'll learn it too. This isn't even close to the longest fic (although it's getting there) although it's probably the longest I've ever read. (It's longer than Silverglow's Journal or Appledashery)

Alright, that's enough from you about the story length please :trixieshiftleft:

Ah, but it is the longest that actually has an ending and a real story arc.

Fair enough -no one likes being nagged.

Moving on to other subjects, I'd guess Twilight has been heading research efforts into the Pink Crystals. Have they learned nothing? If it was me, I'd try to set them off all at once & fry the sucker holding them.

Discord clearly knows more than he's saying. But then again, he's the God of Chaos, NOT the God of Kiss-the-Boo-Boo-&-Make-It- All-Better. Where is it written he's supposed to help?

Also, If it was me I'd be trying my hardest, top priority, to make another horn & replace Soarin's because we're going to lose that horn, him, and Dash if we don't.

Yay! Next chapter.

:rainbowlaugh: you and your chapters. It's glorious.

Huh... :derpyderp2:

Yay! :rainbowwild:


4449703 I agree! :pinkiehappy: No matter how hilarious it is to see you attempting to keep your chapters from turning into a specific chapter that totally wasn't nearly 50k words long... :rainbowlaugh: (Please don't murder me!!! :fluttershbad: ) We love your stories :heart: And PTH is amazing! No doubt 'bout it!

I think i might be dating myself a little with the cassette tape reference :rainbowlaugh: (I'M OLD!:raritydespair:)

Just out of curiosity, where would you have split up arc 3? My guess is chapter 100 but who knows?

Probably, since there was a large change in environment from the canterlot location into the mountains and the whole 'shadows of fading wonder' tagline for arc 3, while it still has significance with things happening now, was mainly meant to highlight the retired wonderbolts among the Renegades.
