*Alternate chapter titles: Respite, Recovery — Didn’t name it either because “Reprieve” sounded better at the time. In hindsight, I prefer Recovery instead.

Okay, folks, we're back with the next installment of this commentary, and for today's topic: Chapter Two(Reprieve)! …Oh boy.

To start I want to reemphasize that every chapter was supposed to be its own self-contained story wherein Gallus would spend time with and learn a life lesson from each of his friends.

And we're back once more with the next installment of The Writing of The Bonds of Love!

Today, we're discussing the very first chapter of The Bonds of Love, and was it the bang most stories are expected to begin with? Well…? We’ll see as we go on.

But to start things off now, we’ve already got a major cut concept to discuss, so let's dive on in!

Hello, everyone! I promised I would discuss my writing process for The Bonds of Love like I did with A Day for Family and at long last, here we are.

Originally, I intended to post this discussion as an additional chapter to the story itself, so everyone who read T.B.O.L. could immediately read about its writing process after finishing it, rather than having to hunt it down in my Blog.

Alright, everyone! I’m finally back with an update on the “Writing of…” situation. Long story short: I intend to provide it in two formats:

1) A Google Doc. Currently, the entire thing rests within a single Doc, and as such, is darn near 1,000 pages long.

And 2) Blog Posts. Every individual chapter’s discussion will be getting its own individual BP, and in the cases where said discussion ran too long to be in one, that particular discussion will be split into multiple BPs.

Fimfiction’s moderators have since deemed "The Writing of The Bonds of Love" inadmissible due to it not being a traditional story. As such, they have denied it public viewing.

I am currently working on a solution that will allow you guys to access the roughly 200k+ words of content I've promised for over a year and half. I’m sorry for this entire debacle, and for inadvertently being forced to break my promised released date for this project.

EDIT(1/18/2023): This Post has since been proven invalid, please ignore this. It only remains public to preserve the comments on it.

At long last, The Writing of The Bonds of Love is complete. It's been over a year in the making, and one heck of a crazy ride getting here, but I promise it'll be more than worth the wait.

First chapter will be released this Wednesday(1/18). See ya then.

Whelp, it's finally here! It has been over a year and a half in the making, but at long, long last... The Writing of The Bonds of Love is done!

Now as for when it’ll be released…?

After a solid two month hiatus with not a word beyond the occasional “Thank you” to those who awarded T.B.O.L. a Favorite, I have at long last returned! And as the title doth imply, I’ve come bearing good tidings!

Ch.15(Family, Part Two) has finally, finally been fully discussed. Yeah, crazy how long it took me, right? And there are two reasons as to why:

Hello again, everyone, I’m back once more to provide yet another update concerning my progress on "The Writing of The Bonds of Love."

Unfortunately, this update consists of mostly bad news.

As mentioned in my previous update, I initially intended to finish discussing the last three chapters of T.B.O.L. and then post a final update, confirming both the “Writing of…” was nearing completion and possibly even a release date for it.

This is not that final update.

Hello, everyone, and yep! I am here to deliver another progress update on the “Writing of…” for T.B.O.L.

Let’s just cut to the chase: I finally finished discussing both Ch.12-13(Serenity)! I guess I jinxed myself when I theorized it’d take me less time to discuss them because…? Yeah. Been a while since that last update, huh?

Hello, everyone, and yes, I am posting yet another update concerning the “Writing of…” Mercifully, I’ll keep this one brief.

So, January decided to take a leaf out of December’s book and pass by as if on fast forward. I thankfully still managed to accomplish my goal of finishing the discussion for Ch.11(Closure) by the end of the month. By which I mean, I finished literally on the last day of January. I mean? I’ll take it, but I hope 2022 starts slowing down soon…

Hello again, everyone! So, the last time I posted one of these updates was shortly after Thanksgiving, and I had just finished discussing Ch.8(Tension) and Ch.9(Fear) and was ready and excited to talk about the next two, Ch.10(Home) and Ch.11(Closure). But then at some point or another, I blinked and suddenly it was Christmas, and I had only finished discussing one of the Griffonstone chapters.

Firstly, Merry Christmas, everyone! Hope you’re all enjoying the holiday!

Hello, everyone! As promised, I’m making a Blog Post to update you guys on my progress with the “Writing of…” for T.B.O.L. I’ve finished discussing Ch.7(Pride) and re-editing the original chapter as well. Next, I’ll be tackling the Smolder chapters, Ch.8(Tension) and Ch.9(Fear).

Hello, everyone! I promised a while back I’d discuss my thoughts on the recent MLP G5 movie, and at long last here it is. Naturally, I will be spoiling quite a lot, so do be sure to watch the movie itself before you read this review.

With all the preamble out of the way, let’sget into my review of My Little Pony: A New Generation.

Alrighty, everyone, I’m back with another progress update on “The Writing of The Bonds of Love.” But before I get into it, I want to talk about something else first.

I finally got around to seeing My Little Pony: A New Generation, and I plan on discussing/reviewing it in another Blog Post. For now, I’ll simply say that I thoroughly enjoyed it! Hitch is an absolute treasure, and the songs are all wonderful, especially the villain one.

Hello, everyone! Sooo… It’s been a few months since I finished The Bonds of Love, and I promised I’d discuss my writing process for the story just like I did with its predecessor, A Day for Family.

Good news: I’m still doing that. I don’t like going back on promises, and I want to finish this “Writing of…” thing before I properly focus on any next major project.
