First, if the chapter title didn't tip you off, this isn't an actual chapter, sorry. Just wanted to make sure I got the most input about this as I could. Now, here's the thing:
Well, first, since the last time I did this, I had a mini-rant, and some people unfaved/disliked the story and never came back, the story is continuing. This is NOT a cancellation, or... anything crazy like that. Next chapter is already at 3.2k words, and is likely to be a 'normal' chapter length for ME, which is 5-6k words. Should be out either tonight or tomorrow.
Now that your worries are done, I had a couple questions...
Obviously, Pokemon had shown up all over Equestria. I actually had a story idea for what happens in the Crystal Empire and the crazy Latias, but that brings up a couple of problems...
First, do you guys even want to see it? It is NOT relevant to the actual plot of this story, but it would expand upon some things.
Second, if you do want to see it, do you want to see what happens there as an aside, like side-chapters, interludes, whatever you want to call it, on this story, or should it be its own 'story', for the people who don't want it cluttering the (mis)adventures of Fluffy and Crystal and Co?
I guess the big part of that is... If you guys do want me to do it either way, it's going to cut into the time I have to write this. Now, I wouldn't mind horribly if someone else felt brave and wanted to try to write it instead. I'd be willing to help, give them my story idea(s), and try to help them in most any way I can, within reason.
So... Yeah. Tell me what you think about that, thanks.
Okay, and nextly-
Nextly isn't a word...
... Brian, shut up. I say what I want!
*Ahem* We won't be getting to the 'adventure' part of the story for awhile. How much does/will that bother you? Each 'chapter' will be a day or more, with time skips here and there, which is why the larger word count. Every chapter at least one character will learn a new move, as well as character development as ponies/Pokemon work on communicating, becoming friends, stuff like that.
Umm... Yeah. Sorry for the disappointment of this not being an actual chapter, but I swear it's coming, and it's already getting to be a good one, so I must ask your indulgence for just a little while longer. I'm doing my best to make the longer chapters worth it!
