) so I had to wait until it passed. Thankfully, it has, and my next one-shot story is planned to be out on either Friday or the weekend.Director's Cut: Twilight's Bookless Week (Celestia Help Us!!) Chapter 3: To Catch An Alicorn · 12:42am Jul 3rd, 2019
This was one of the hardest chapters for a story I've written up to this point. I had trouble trying to think of what to have Twilight do and keep the chapter from getting out of hand, and is the reason it took about a month to publish it after I published chapter 2: up to this point it was never longer than 2 weeks in-between chapters for my stories. along with all the stories' chapters, chapter 3 of the Twilight freak-out story had the most edits and partial rewrites.
Originally, in the beginning of the chapter, with the others trying to find her, Twilight gave "baths" to ponies on the streets of Ponyville before she got to the building where she gave more ponies "baths", but I edited out the baths on the streets. This was also when a pony was going to threaten to contact Princess Celestia making Eric become nervous and want more than ever to stop Twilight but it was edited out.
Another change was that the "Ex-Wet Eight" originally tried to lure Twilight to the Spa because of the "mud" there that Twilight might come to clean, but I moved it to Applejack's farm, and also had Pinkie act as "bait" to draw Twilight to the farm; originally, there was no "bait" for Twilight and she just came on her own, and the other characters expected it. How the "soapstorm" Twilight created was is another change: It was originally like a "tidal wave" and I changed it to how it is now.
Yet another edit was how Twilight was caught and stopped during tag. Originally, it didn't happen in the castle, and characters popped out one by one to chase Twilight, steer her into a room with Eric, and he was going to be the one to put the anti-magic ring on Twilight's horn as she ran by him, and he would jump on her back to get the ring on her horn.
This version of the plan also had the chase last ten minutes because the idea was also to tire out Twilight so Eric could get the ring on her horn. But I later simplified it to the version it is now, had the chase happen in the castle, and had most of the gang surprise and hold down Twilight, so there was no reason to "tire her out".
Keep up the great work.
