WARNING: LANGUAGE/SEX REFERENCES AHEAD

Oh, the fandom is gonna have way too much fun embedding these clips into videos, especially Fluttershy saying "shit" and Rarity's "fuck me hard".

7th November EDIT: Video got taken down on YouTube but thankfully, it's available on Funnyjunk.

To Serve In Hell generated over 20,000 words of cut content, representing more than a fifth of its final length. Not all of it is fit for presentation. However, a few bits still strike me as memorable or interesting, and I'd like to take a moment to share a couple of them.

There are spoilers ahead... but at this point I figure most people who are going to read Hell have already done so. For anyone else, maybe this'll spark some interest?

So both to promote book 3 of the Alternia-verse and also just to talk about and record the process of writing this story, here are a series of… “Behind the scenes” notes where I explain the process of which the latest entry into the Alternia-verse came to be. There will be no spoilers.

Part 1: The Background

*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.

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.

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.

In this edition of “Behind the Scenes” we’ll be looking at Stardust’s early chapters and how it evolved from its earliest concepts and into the story we have today.

This one may be a bit more spoilery so fair warning.

Here we are. It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally reached the end, and what a wild ride it was getting to this point! With no time to waste, let’s bring this commentary to a close and discuss the grand finale of The Bonds of Love!

And we’re back with the second half of this chapter’s discussion, so let’s not waste any more time and get right into it!

If this section’s title didn’t already give it away, not much has changed at all in the lovely town of Ponyville.

The results of the World-Building Alliance's latest contest are in, and somehow, my little tale about especially little ponies won.

Can't say I saw that coming. Still, it gives me an excuse to talk a bit more about this one.

So sorry about this being late, I got busy, then not busy, then busy again, then said fuck it all. So, story notes! Lets see if I can even remember anything...

----------

I guess lets first look at the characters of this story, the important ones being Rudy, Hot Brew, and Jack.

Part of what has helped me get back into writing lately has been carving out a space condusive to the art of storytelling within my environment. We live in a tiny, one bedroom apartment and space is always at a premium, but the perfect solution came with the change of the seasons in Southern California.

Our back porch.

So I'm trying something a little different with this post. As I write and develop my stories I have a tendency to write up a fair amount of documentation on the development process as a whole, the vast majority of which never gets seen. So I figured that sharing little snippets of that documentation every once in a while would be a productive way of getting it out there.

For volume 1 I'll be focusing on the larger theme behind New Horizons that has definitely gone over people's heads.

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:

Alternate titles: Fear, Part One, Life — Didn’t go with the first one because I was still in “Name the chapter after its central theme” mode, and Ch.8(Tension) isn’t exactly about “fear” so much as the lingering awkwardness or dare I say…? Tension between Smolder, Gallus, and Silverstream.

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 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!
