Chapter 5 and Re-Edited 1 & 2 posted! · 5:31pm Jan 2nd, 2022
I completed the promised re-edits of Chapter 1 & Chapter 2 of Victory: Premonitions before posting Chapter 4. This messed with the every-other-day release cadence I had admitted to liking so much, but it was definitely necessary. The prize pool for the contest has gone up, so competition will be steep! With that in mind, I went ahead and posted the work-in-progress cover art I was working on. It's just a simple interpretation of Saturn for now. The plan was originally to draw The Radiant Hope in front of it, but I've got too much actual editing to do before the deadline! I also took some time to do an editing pass on the story's summary and headline blocks, which might improve initial engagement. We'll see how it goes!
There's only one more Chapter left to edit. With luck, the process will go smoothly enough to get it posted sometime today or tomorrow. After that I might edit the chapter names one final time. From there, it's off to the "complete" folder and then judgement in the science fiction contest. This will probably be the longest story in the contest, unless somepony goes over the 20k word cap. Currently I'm just underneath it but, it's hard to tell exactly by how much since Google Docs and FiMFiction count their words differently. I don't believe there's currently any categories for length though, so we'll see if I impress in any other ways! Here's to hoping!
