By and by - Complete!

Ok! It's finally done! And if you know anything about the origin of this story you will understand this is not an accomplishment at all and in fact and EXTREME piece of laziness on my part.

By and by

To sum up, this was a single [though longest] chapter of my first story that was a flash back to when Pinkie met her first best friend. a Buffalo she named Bysen.
Self insert OC shipfic ahoy!... though trust me, I don't think anything has gone in this direction with their own character and a M6 character before. I cried a little at the end.

Story theme song.

What that means is that it was entirely, with a some bit of grammar fixes, unnecessary referenses to the original story removal and a really short extra after credit scene at the end, this story was entirely already written.
It took me 9 months to fully publish this story and if I hadn't forced myself to sit done, quick-proof the last 5 chapters and publish them immediately, it probably would've taken another 2 months.
I had a 1 chapter a week scheduled planned original like I do with most of my stories that I tend to write entirely before posting them.
The thought process behind this is to be both episodic and get the story on the front page of 'recently updated' every week for maximum views.

I was doing well for the first 4 months. Then I missed a week before the next one... then I missed 2 months.
Had no idea what happened there, just kinda slipped my mind and promised to not let it happen again. And I didn't.
For a whole 6 weeks.
Then I missed 3 months... which bring us to now.
See why It would've taken another month if I didn't just force them all out?
Also it didn't help that I often cringed at my older writing/writing style, and there's a few times were I, as the writer, completely understand the scene even though to a reader it would need a bit more description.

The point is, in the future I'm going to stop this delayed scheduled BS as it doesn't really get me too many views anyway as it's only in the 'Recently updated' section for like 5 minutes anyway and only serves to hurt the audience I already have.

I have some plans for future stories, including a very interesting concept for one that I really hope I can pull off.
It's a choose your own adventure story that I've got the first chapter of written and have begun etching out on how it will work on fimfics.
So far the 2000-odd word chapter is a story of 30000 words and over 100 chapters that ultimately lead to being 1 major choice with 3 options, and multiple little side things that are definitely different but don't effect the over all story.

I have the opening [ but unfortunately not even 1000 words to be published on fimfics] of a story I idea that I like that's a request story of EG Shining Armour finding out Twilight is going on a date with Spruce [that's his name right?] and spies on her but pony Twilight is also in the world at the time going on a date with Flash 'Brad' Sentry. Zaniness ensues.
Spying Shining and The Daunting Double Date.

Lastly, and god forbid I ever actually write this one, I also have Sweetie Belle is Sick as Shit 2: Constipation in my 'write when drunk' list.

Edit: Oh crap! I was meant to have put out The Best Laid Out Plans 3: An April Fools Trilogy um... 13 days ago.
Welp... expect that by June...
