    Soon!

    I think I've used that blog title three or four times now.

    Anyway! New chapter of Spectacular Seven is almost done! I was hoping it would be done this week so I could post it on Saturday, but I need to rewrite a scene. And that's before I edit it! And before Drakey edits it! The good news is...

    Ten Years, Still Here

    I think back to my nascent days here, reading stories and typing out my own, hoping for the day where I could call myself a veteran of the fandom. My stories would be remembered and I would stand alongside authors like Pen stroke and Aragon.

    And I look where I am now and go, ‘well, you got one big hit. Good enough.’

    Thank You

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe or spread the word for it. It really means a lot. Thanks to your donations and getting a little more on my first paycheck than I thought I would, I should be able to stay afloat again.

    My Turn to Ask for Help

    Hello friends.

    I'm trying to raise money for me and Amber Spark after we suffered an accident with a U-Haul truck. The link to the GoFundMe page is here.

Spectacular Seven Volume III · 10:14pm Dec 11th, 2018

One last vacation together. Make it count, girls.

A little insight on the third volume of Sunset's long tail, with release schedule and a start date which I'm sure will make you all very happy.

Volume III acts as the opener for the second half of the story. After the climax that was Prom, we get to step back and take things... relatively easy for a while. Well, as easy as things get in my stories.

That's to say, expect things to remain interesting, but in a way that's more Long Road to Friendship with more magic and Sunset snarkiness thrown in. There's still drama, mystery, and some surprises in store. And the volume finale promises to be the most hectic yet.

Still, this is very much the calmest of the five volumes. A lot of this is set up for what happens in the next two volumes, but it definitely carries its own merit. I hope you guys like character development, 'cause there's a lot of that in here!

There's not much more I can say without giving the fun stuff away. This won't be a nail biter like volume II, but I still promise it'll be a lot of fun and a nice breather.

Because halfway into Volume IV, there are no breaks until the end of the story.

Last volume, I had written everything out before hand and would edit chapters about a week in advance so i could give you guys a chapter every Saturday. That stressed me the hell out halfway through. While I like to be consistent, I can't do that again.

Instead, what I'm doing for the rest of the story is, I'm going to stockpile chapters and create a nice buffer. Right now, I have five chapters written out, and by the time the volume starts, I should have six. I'm going to release a chapter every Saturday when I can, but I'm going to make sure I'm at least two chapters ahead of what you guys are reading. If you're reading chapter four and I haven't written chapter seven, there won't be a chapter five the next Saturday.

I think this is the best of both worlds. The schedule should remain fairly consistent, especially since this is one of only two stories I'm actively working on, and if I need to change something, I can do it without cramming it in a week.

So, with all that said, when can you expect Volume III to start?

Volume III: Limitless Love begins December 22nd. Just in time for the holidays!

A big thanks to my main editor and friend, DrakeyC for his continued work!

A little insight on the third volume of Sunset's long tail

Sooooo... she’s a pony in this one?

:derpytongue2:

I love that the Dragon Soul for the Andriod Saga implies that humans other than Bulma and briefly Tien will be useful. It's, honestly kinda sad.

Looking forward to the return. The new pace sounds good since it's less stress for you. I can wait an extra week or more for chapters.

Anyone want footage of me and Alby having an editor's chat?

https://youtu.be/Yr1mIqrYRKw

Yeah !!!!

Just enough time for me to reread the whole thing, then. Starting with my hardcover edition of Long Road.

AAAAHHHHHHH!! Five volumes, magic, VACATION!!

Well that'll be something nice to read on my way to my moms ^_^ Can't wait!

CSC

Yeees!!!

Will the Anonymous period be making an appearance in one of the arcs?

So it ends? Not sure I'm emotionally prepared for that.

Yay, more!

But... it's ending soon...

Yay!:yay: WICKED AWESOME!:rainbowdetermined2:

But with every end, there is another beginning

I think you are one of the best authors' on this website, if not the best. I have read all your work and can't wait for vol. III to start. In fact I'm starting to show some withdrawal symptoms. Do you have works on other websites I can read (fanfic or original), or is this it?

Sorry, friend. This is everything at the moment.

Very Excite!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! :pinkiehappy:

I'm so looking forward to volume 3! And taking it easy during this volume will be nice. I love character driven relaxing things just as much as adventure plot driven things. In my opinion, both are always great to have. And it makes sense for the Spectacular Seven to have a calm rest for a while after everything with the Sirens and Moondancer. Sure, they'll have troubles ahead, but a nice time to be at ease is needed for them. The 22ed can't get here soon enough!

Well that's too bad, but there's not much of a wait left. You starting up vol. 3 before the year ends feels like a Christmas miracle. Also, ironic since it'll deal with there summer vacation, and it's being posted in winter.

Neat, an extra present for the holidays. :pinkiehappy:

This pleases me. I'm always happy with a calmer story. Thanks for the heads up.

Woohoo Spectacular Seven 3 Tokyo drift lets go.
I'm really hoping we see more development with Sunset and Twilight and they get a little more intimate together that'd still allowed to be mentioned in a T rating.
Also wanna see if they other girls get romance too.
I love romance

Hooray!
Two of the stories I actively follow finally have new volumes!
Last time this happened was in late 2016!

I'm so hyped!
I'll try to wait for the volume to be completed before starting it, but I'm really looking forward to it.
I hope you get lots of fun writing it ;)

Anyone ever tell you that you're REALLY GOOD at this part? You're like Doc Brown's Red Line Log for the Hype Train.

Jw, is there going to be a schedule for chapter uploads?

4984987

I'm going to release a chapter every Saturday when I can

4985207
K thx, can't wait for the next chapter

Well, i am already hyped. :)
That this Volume will take things a Little bit slower is certainly nice, after all the Action and Drama that we had. Who knows if my poor heart could take much more of this?!?
I also just saw the new cover for the Spectacular Seven (and the first new chapters), and I must say that it Looks really awesome! My compliments to, whoever your Artist is.
And, already in advance, happy new year 2019. ;)
