Pretty much what the title says. I just finished banging away at my keyboard until pretty words came to me, so I've got a new chapter just about ready. I'm gonna give it a bit of last-minute fine-tuning tonight and then post it tomorrow morning.
A couple of people said they didn't get alerted when one of the prior chapters went up, but I am telling you right now that there is most definitely a new chapter coming tomorrow, so if you don't get a notification for it, it's still there.
For all who have read the chapter, both those who continued after and those who may not have , Chapter 1 has now been rewritten. Its not essential to read it again, you wont really miss anything if you dont read it but I think its quality has been improved, information is far clearer, and tone more appropriate for the story should hopefully be established.
Various foreshadowing and connections have been written in and now no longer a wall of text exists so...yay?
Wishing everyone a very happy Hearts and Hooves Day! Even if you don't have that "special" somepony yet, just keep the faith and be grateful for friends and family.
New update for What They Expect to Give just went up. The plot thickens! The stakes are raised! The fun is doubled!
Well well well, what's this?! A new chapter of Innocence Lost? AND IT TIES IN WITH BOOK V?!
Say it ain't so!
I don't know what I hoped this chapter to be but it clearly wasn't this. A chapter which is a long extended fight scene with only a quick resolution of P-21's arc at the end. The thing that should have been the focus was barely mentionned and yet I have a ton of things to say about it and about the end of the "Deus Arc" so to speak. I don't like having so little good things to say about this chapter but then again, it is more of the same.
Let's go.
Hey Touchers!
Ever wanted to see this pony...
...And this pony...
... and this guy...
...Do stuff?
You know...
What happened, Somber ? How can you go from making interesting little moments to something so... absolutely convoluted and unnecessarily dark ? Nothing in this chapter works ! The sex tape memory orb ? The massacre of a settlement just for the damn sake of it ? The fact that despite having one eye and four braces, there is NO difference in how BJ acts or in the things she can do ? She fucking lifted a pony in a power armor with her bare hooves ! I'm stunned.
Let's go ?
THIS IS A BUG. ADMINS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED. [ Click here for intended Blog Post ]
This chapter went back to being extremely similar in Fallout:Equestria at least in parts and I really don't like it. From plans that makes no sense, to Blackjack defeating with dumb luck one of the most terrifying foe yet while trusting without a shred of logic obvious shady people. Why are his group listening to her for crying out loud ? They risk life and limbs for her and yet there's no one to tell her that...
Let's go.
aka Progress Report #5
So, we are halfway through the story and there were only two comments on the last couple of chapters. Is everypony still reading it? What do you think so far?
To get it out of the way, the bonus chapter for In Search of Knowledge is going to go out on Monday. It's done now, but I've got some stuff going on over the weekend and want to actually be around when I post it. It's not super long, just under 2000 words, but I think you guys are going to like it.
Nothing like a freak snowstorm right at the end of winter to get you in the writing mood.
It's a long one and is pretty much interlude but it includes OC Guest-Star cameos for my followers including...
Bronycommander
Whitewolf Stormrunner
Cherry-Lei
CuddleCutie
Senor Cornholio
And Legendbringer.
Thanks everyone! You guys are awesome and I hope you enjoy it!
If anyone else would like an OC Cameo, please say.
Welp,
So, this chapter does explain a lot of things. Some things are still as stupid as ever and some other are a bit different than I thought they would be. Also, and I am guilty of all charges, the whole fight sequence near the end is something that I had a really hard time to go through. It was too long and my eyes just glossed over what is essentially just another thrill ride for BJ but something that does wear down pretty quickly.
Let's go !
Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
The chapters as of late seems a bit easier to read for me and I find it delightful. Now does that mean that there aren't tons of thing that makes this story quite the mess still ? Of course not but it seems that it is not as much as an issue... at least as long as I don't see the face of Goldenblood who single-handedly made this story quite the pain to go through.
Let's go !
Releasing the updated Midnight Rising chapters as new chapters, as they're that different at this point, and deleting or at least unpublishing the old ones.
Another new chapter is up! It’s another shorter chapter, but I honestly had a blast writing it and it’s important for the characters nonetheless. I’m going to try writing these more regularly, so keep an eye out for more updates!
Here with another update! What happens when you try and micromanage every detail of a village? Lots of arguing and ponies that don’t necessarily agree with all of your leadership ideas. It’s a small break from some of the romance, but an important break nonetheless. The next chapter should see more of that sooner than later.
