    Growing Pains

    And so ends another chapter in the Alternate Beginnings saga.

    If it feels like an abrupt ending, well, you’re probably not wrong.

    Finished Finale

    Well, it’s certainly been a long and fun ride, writing this. About one million words in the series, depending on how you count the side stories and whatnot. More than I ever thought I’d write, and I’m pretty sure I said something similar around the 300k mark, too.

    Errant Finale extra scenes

    So, Errant Finale (and all of the Alternate Verse, for that matter) has a pretty big plot arc focusing around reproduction of the alicorns. Too important to not include in the main story, but quickly veering right up to the line of what constitutes a 'teen' story versus a 'mature' one.

Wrapping Up Disrupted · 3:29am Apr 22nd, 2019

In a few days, Continuity Disrupted will be coming to a close as Winter Wrap Up wraps it up. Thanks to everyone who stuck with it all the way, and I hope everyone who hasn't read it yet enjoys it! As always, I love comments and feedback, even if it's just pointing out a part you liked!

The saga will conclude in Errant Finale, though it will in all likelihood be much shorter. It will be more action oriented and less slice of life, wrapping up a lot of the threads hinted at during Alternate Beginnings and Continuity Disrupted. I feel this is a weaker area for me, especially adding enough description to follow what happens. Let me know areas you think can be improved!

I'm debating upping the maturity level to M and including clop (you know what it's going to be), but I'm not sold on doing that. Maybe I'll have a separate story? Unclear. Potentially if there's demand, but it really won't stray much from vanilla, as opposed to the character building I tried to add in BCD. I also think the general theme will stay true to the rest of the series, which is to say brief bouts that border on M (NMM, alicorn research). But the more I think about that the less sure I want to make the change. So it'll probably stay T.

You do have a separate story for all the clop. I would just keep everything the way it is and just go back to the other story and add the nessary scenes with the clop you want.

As for this story ending I wonder how that invasion is going to go and if the bad future Doug saw will come to pass?
