To Serve In Hell comes back again tomorrow for its final run.
Five days.
Five chapters.
This is it, people. The veil is about to be thrown off. And I am terrified as hell by what lies underneath.
However dark it gets, know that it could so easily get darker.
Not everypony is making it out alive, but I will not do anything cheap to these wonderful and awful ponies who I've had the privilege of writing this long.
Strike that... cheap things only happen to them when you're meant to feel that it's unfair and horrible. Silver Shill, anybody?
Right?
Did you know that, by nature, I'm kind of terrible at keeping secrets? And miserably squeamish about... stuff? And when I started this three years ago, I didn't actually know how to write a novel?
eeeeee
I'm sorry... I'm all nerves. I probably shouldn't post this. It's just... argh.
I have awful things to go do to my ponies tonight.
I can't wait to be done doing them.
If your going to write of wretched dastardly deeds, you must do it properly; while twirling your evil mustache
Gaster's behind the whole thing!?
Sorry. Too many Deltarune theory videos. Looking forward to the finale!
Thankfully (maybe) I am not squeamish in the slightest. So always know that however dark it gets, I always recommended that it be several steps darker.

In the Grim Darkness of the Grim-Dark Far Grim-Dark Future, there is only Grim-Dark... Grim-Dark.
I am all too familiar with that feeling of dread when publishing something that took me out of my comfort zone to write. But usually it goes over better than expected, and you’re a better wordsmith than I, so I’m sure it’ll turn out great.
Best of luck to you!

Call it a hunch, but I think things are shockingly grim and unbelievably dark

Tis a LIE! Thine backside is whole, and UNGOBBLED!

Speaking of which, this is another good moment to credit 4982246 for assistance with dialing down Stupid Evil Sassy from her original moustache-twirling version to whatever comes across on the page now. In the very beginning I was definitely trying to make her a bad guy, but not too far in I realized that was a mistake. Hopefully it comes across for readers as well by the end, but Sassy is 100% here for a reason.

*checks steam account*
Clearly I spend too much time fic-writing... I think I've played about 8 minutes of the first Undertale?

Thank you, and you're too kind!
...yeah, chapter 33 especially is just like...

Pardon the double-tag, but this is just too freakin' cute.

Sorry, I meant mine which is coming out tomorrow.
Yours too, eh?

The mustache makes the villain :3
That’s quite alright. It is precious isn’t it

Ohhhhhh... I see. Ha! I did a blog last night and mentioned in it that I’d rewritten my Chapter 33, which I assumed you saw and read. But you meant your 33, LOL. Got it.
What are the odds?
Mine? Uh... it’s uh, it’s porn. Yeah.
Congratulations for making it this far, fellow aspiring novelist, and good luck to you on your final dash to the finishing line. If you succeed, you'll have achieved a whole new level of writing.
