Whew! It sure took a while, but The Infestation of Canterlot High School is, at long last, finished, and I am free! FREE! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I’m sure I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m what’s called a discovery writer (or a pantster); as such a lot of my writing at least starts off with characters and/or a situation and I just start writing to see what happens.
(Did anypony else notice that Twilight Sparkle used DARK MAGIC to turn the alicorn potion from purple to white to divine why Luna and Celestia were missing in the episode Princess Twilight Sparkle?)
Methinks the little alicorn Princess is holding back on us *grin*.
Here's a special behind-the-scenes look at my writing process! This episode, we're covering the latest chapter of How two Worthless Genetic Freaks Founded a Nation.
Hellooooooo!! Me again. I’m currently at work on the next chapter of my newly-resurrected crossover story Star Wars: Trials of the Force at long last!! Both The Fall of Opaline and the first chapter of Redeemed have been completed and I promise you guys, to all of you who have stuck with me through the entirety of the Misty Saga so far, the latter will be a real tear jerker, especially with its ending. However, I am also hard at work on my 5-part defense videos of
Alternate Title: Identity — I’ll explain why later.
Oh, this chapter… Ch.7(Pride) had the most radically alternate version of all the chapters after Ch.4(Optimism), thanks predominantly to it suffering the most from the personality issue getting axed. I’m not entirely satisfied with what I ultimately settled on, but I still think it’s a good chapter.
Let’s get into it!
~ The Aftermath of Burnout ~
Not too terribly long ago, I explained a few of the graphical whatsits that you can see in Fullmetal Pony. While that blog did go into some detail for the common "cutie dividers" that separate scenes, it did leave out the images on the other end of the spectrum - title cards such as the one above.

Here be spoilers for the story, The King's Gift. Don't say I didn't warn you!
And that’s that. That’s the end.
It’s been quite the ride, hasn’t it? Over a year spent writing The Bonds of Love, and over a year and a half spent discussing the actual writing process.
I think I’ve said everything I had to say or even could say about my story, but well? Come on, you all know me enough by now to know I just can’t shut up even when I should.
Sooo…?
To summarize my overall opinions on every major aspect of The Bonds of Love…?
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…?
Alright! Time for the second half of Serenity; let’s not waste any time and get right into it!
~ Eavesdrop at Your Own Peril ~
Continuing where we left off, we open on Gallus and Silverstream on their way to the restaurant, bouncing along in a bumpy but otherwise non-chaotic carriage ride, and—Wait, what do you mean that’s not how we start the chapter?
And here we are at last... The final third of the Epilogue's discussion, and thus, the final major installment of the Writing of The Bonds of Love.
No need to dawdle any further, I think. Let's get right into it!
~ Our Final Goodbyes ~
Alternate title: Normalcy — Went with “Normality” since it sounded better at the time. I lean more toward Normalcy presently, but it doesn’t matter since they’re synonyms.
Ah, Ch.5(Normality), you will always stand out for being the only chapter to actually follow the original character-specific chapter plan.
Ahh, Ch.3(Expression). Or as I like to call it: The chapter where I finally figured out what the heck I was doing.
Look, I was writing a story about Gallus receiving therapy for his trauma, his friends’ reactions to learning about his breakdown, and the blossoming romance between him and Silverstream who was going through her own breakdown, all while trying to work themes of identity, personal growth, paranoia, self-worth, family, and the classic “Coming of age” trope into the narrative.
