A Fairly Odd Friendship: What's Going On? · 11:02pm Oct 17th, 2020
Hello fellow bronies,
Some of you have been wondering where the next chapter has been.
After reading some constructive criticism, there are some parts of the story that I don't want to edit, but that I want to rewrite from the ground up before I go back to the main story. As you've probably found, I've rewritten three chapters from the story and published them.
There were two people I had helping me edit some chapters, but they've been busy with their lives, and haven't had the time to help me.
Now that I am working full time, I no longer have the time I used to.
I pledge that I will publish a new chapter by November, once I've made enough edits.
Thank you again for your patience and your willingness to leave a review.
Sincerely,
Redandready45.
Well the story is pretty epic so far. Good concept, solid grammar and humor, and everyone is in character.
Hopefully I’ll be able to catch up before the new chapter is released.
Good luck with the new job and we look forward to he next chapter!
was expecting this be an update on either Working girl sunny, Crisis of identity, or what happened it Sunset's family. But still at least a good update to hear.
Ooh, that explains the hiatus. Well its always good to go back and rewrite chapters that you feel dont fit well. It happens. Its nice that you gave an update so keep up the good work! Cant wait for the stpry to continue ^^!
What kind of changes had been made to these rewrites, just wondering if its necessary to reread from story perspective, unless the rewrites aren't that heavy of a change?

Well...I haven't really changed the narrative of the story itself.
I've just added a lot more substance to what was already there.
For example, someone pointed out to me that I with Gilda and her friends, I did a lot of "tell but not showing" with them. To a small extant, I made Gilda a Mary Sue. I've added more so that they are properly presented as hilarious pranksters who end up becoming genuinely protective of Timmy. I also made some edits to make her feel less...shoehorned if you will.
I've also thrown in more comedy where it was needed (I included a joke about blubber nuggets) and fixed some grammatical mistakes.
But no, the core narrative has mostly stayed intact.

Ah, thanks, I'm always wondering whenever a rewrite is done, whether any heavy changes are done and whether I need to reread said chapter or not.
