    Exploiting the Crystal Mirror

    It has been several months since the end of DPGCMC, and without much of its tourist trade, the Crystal Empire has seen better days. One thing the Empire does have is the Crystal Mirror, and an old friend of Cadance's just stepped through it.

    Yes, DPGCMC is now complete.

    If you started reading when one new chapter was up and didn't see there were four, well, you have more reading to do.

    All three CMC have their marks and are pretty well defined in their new roles. In essence, anything going forward would not be the day to day goings on of the crusaders anymore, but things set on a much greater time scale.

    Status Report on DPGCMC

    The next chapter is 60-70% complete.
    The one after that is 55-65% complete.
    The one after that is 75-85% complete.

    If you are thinking, "Hey wait a minute -- that means you could have had two chapters out already if you had posted them as you wrote them and didn't write ahead so much," you wouldn't be wrong.

    Season 7's CMC and DPGCMC

    The more I see of season 7, the more I realize just how much the CMC have lost by taking up Discord's offer. By, in a way, cheating themselves to some semblance of adulthood, they got tons of responsibility before they were quite ready for it, and it significantly changed the way in which they developed. It also removed some of the cohesion that they still have in actual canon. They also

    I am not a songwriter -- are any of you?

    One thing some of you know, and others might not, is that I tend to bounce about a bit in my writing. I tend to write pieces of future chapters at the same time as I am writing my current chapter.

The fact of the matter is that Chrysalis knows a lot more of the world than I do at the moment, and I need to see the movie before I can dot the final i's and cross the t's on things.

While the three chapters are very different from each other, or perhaps because they are so different from each other, they read much better one after another than in serial form, so I am not unhappy at having so much unpublished stuff for the story at the moment.

This said, my intention is going to be to do a triple chapter drop sometime after the movie aires. I have to be very careful though because Christmas season is my busy period and if I take too long and October turns into November, it might not be until January that I can cross the finish line. I can take all three chapters to 90-95% complete though, so if I am really good that might not happen.
