    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

What I'm Working On · 5:41pm Nov 4th, 2017

For the past week or two, I've been performing an extensive edit to Broken Symmetry in preparation for its EQD feature. :twilightsmile:


Awww yiss.

I'm still in the process of fixing the story. The changes will include (among other things): added foreshadowing, repairing a couple of plot holes, the addition of graphical charts, an extra scene with Princess Luna, and cosmetic fixes.

I'm going to take the story down (temporarily) sometime tomorrow so people will stop reading it in half-fixed form. It's partially-edited at the moment so please wait until I'm done with the edits to view it again. (I'm only delaying the takedown so my Broken Symmetry watchers will have a chance to see this blog post.) I need to learn Adobe InDesign today, because I'm adding charts and I just discovered the final chart illustrating all the shenanigans is too complex to justify drawing by hoof (even though I've done it, it begs for something better). :facehoof: So all the charts will end up being done professionally.

The updated story is the next thing I'll post, in all likelihood. I think it will be worth rereading again if you haven't read it recently. (Besides, who honestly doesn't want to read more dorkhorseshipsaga?) If you have read it recently, it'll at least be worth skimming it to see the three diagrams I'm adding and some of the improved explanations of the science behind it. I'll definitely make a blog post describing the extent of the changes once it's ready.

Well, back to work! :twilightsmile:

Then you will probably like Broken Symmetry when it is fixededed. :pinkiehappy:

I get the sense that the charts will be very helpful. Also looking forward to seeing the adjustments to the scientific explanations.

Oh well. I never got the time to reread the story so I could give my thoughts but... Oh well. Looking forward to the updated one however. I am sure images will help :pinkiesmile:

... the addition of graphical charts...

That means pony Feynman diagrams with anti-Twilights and anti-Moondancers moving back in time and annihilating with Twilights and Moondancers? Yay! :yay:

I'll definitely re-read the last chapter, at least. I thought it was rather hasty and didn't flesh out Luna's relation with Moondancer sufficiently thoroughly.

Luna is going to meet with Moondancer in the middle of the story to help with that issue, although I thought I already made some of that change before you'd read it.
