Good News Everypony! · 4:56am Jul 12th, 2017
(Just pretend it's this guy saying that):
I'd like to think that everyone (minus the one person who already knows) will wake up today, and find their morning pleasantly surprising, because I have finished drafting the next chapter of To Love a Pony! Yes, yes, you heard right; it's written. So, now comes the editing pass(es). M1nty seems to be on board to help with this story as well, so my runthrough is up next, though I'm confident that most of the main portions are already - ahem - fairly well gone-over... *cough*
It's clocking in at...
Wait. 
That can't be right. 
just under 35,000?
Well, there are still notations, thought blurbs, and some half-written passages that I'll likely be saving for later chapters, so I'm going to guesstimate it's closer to 32,000. Which tells me one thing. Tha'sa lotta' fookin' wurds, mate!
I should really trim these chapters down...
Now, for the four people who sent nice PMs asking how things are coming along, I would just like to apologize; I had not forgotten you or intended to ignore you. I just... get super embarrassed and withdrawn when I'm not doing what I should. But hopefully getting this chapter out in time for Bronycon will help make amends.
So, yeah... that's my goal. Say it with me! Before Bronycon!
Oi. Don't think that, because I'm re-editing some of my own work, you can escape me that easy.
Well that's a whole lot of
Looking forward to it. Life happens though, so no sweat.
35k?! I didn't have a chance to hit the Word Count button yet, but damn. You don't pay me enough for this shit. Wait, you don't pay me at all! And you took my freakin' Legos! GIVE THEM BACK
35k? Good lord.
I just feel accomplished writing 1k a week.
You migrate over to Discord yet?
You just dropped a 35k chapter on someone to help you edit?... That is just evil.
New To Love a Pony that's good news. 35k for one person..., sure your not evil.
Still good going.
Considering the wait-time between chapters, having a 30k+ word chapter is a good thing, because it gives us voracious readers even more to consume.
Actually, that's true regardless of the wait-time. If your story's good, we're gonna want more, anyway, so go to town.
I've just been rereading this story again and hoping a new chapter would come out soon. Glad to hear it's getting close!
I hope it's 32K words of substance. A problem you had in your last few chapters is that there was a significant amount of filler and repetition in them to the point where it actually detracted from the overall presentation. Still, as always, looking forward to the next chapter.
Hip hip, hurra!
Can't wait, this has been my most highly anticipated story update on the site for half a year now.
woot woot
Fuck the hell yes! I've been missing this story something fierce!
Please don't. I'm a sucker for long chapters. Well, other than tonnes of filler, that can be trimmed.
I love your work. Please take this as a compliment and don't get embarrassed. But your story is the only story I am willing to wait over a year to continue reading.
30+ words in a chapter?
I know that feel.
Hell yeah. Cannot wait to read the next chapter of this story
Yay!
Indeed?!?
Good news!
You fixed the poison slime pipes?
When did you turn into Leo?
Bah, I still gotta get around to reading this.
No, seriously, Great to hear the next chapter is almost there. (Now, where do I find time to read a 35k installment? ...

Oh, you want in on this one too? The more the merrier!
4599344
I don't pay myself either! What kind of crappy business model is this?
4599345
Don't feel bad. It took me a year to write that much. I know, I know, most people will look at the story and say, "But Shachza, it's been longer than that!" Well, I wrote a long one-shot in there too.
4599346
Ummmmmm... We've talked on Discord, right? Pretty sure we have. I'm just quiet.
4599425
Well, ummm... Yes, I want to trim down pretty much everything, but I'd also like to point out the Slice of Life tag. There's going to be some amount of "filler."

Didn't Simon and Garfunkel have a song about this? Hmmmmm... It's on the tip of my tongue. If only I could just... Grrrrrr!
Good news everyone! The words are flowing again!
1st thing:
2nd: Looking forward to it.
3rd: 32kish too much? I passed through NFire's hellbore of 95k+ chapter. Bring it!
35k words... about triple the lenght of the average FimFic story. For a single CHAPTER
You crazy, crazy person, I love you for that !
Just finished re-reading (listening via text to speach) the whole story. Anxiously awaiting the next chapter. Got a target date yet?

Same here. I'm really curious how he'll end up after taking all that shit from equestrian side. Daaayumn that was harsh.
So, are you still on track to get the chapter out before Bronycon? Only a few days left!
Soon?
