Let's have some fun because why not?

If these little bonus feature posts aren't your thing, no problem, we'll see you tomorrow for chapter 2's release! I thought it would be fun for us since so much of the reason Empathy even exists is because of Bevin and I dorking out back and forth, so here's a taste of what that's kinda like!

We kind of really got into answering our first question:

MARVEL: Okay, might as well start with

Chapter 2 is out and that means it's time for some bonus content!

Q: How much does Bevin know?
MARVEL: This is a really fun question for me. I think most people, if they think about it, would assume Bevin knows the whole story front to back, everything that's going to happen. Total. Lie.

Q: What does the process of illustrating a chapter look like?

Who knows who could be lurking in the shadows...

The cover art for Empathy for the Devil is here in all its rebellious glory! Nothing screams Sunset Shimmer quite like flipping off authority figures and embracing inner darkness—doing it in one go just saves time.

Chapter 1 is finally here!!! Holy shit! Okay, so here's how this posting thing is going to go down:

• On Days: A new chapter goes live for you to read!
• Off Days: Author/Artist's Commentary post from Bevin and I right here on this blog talking about the chapter + adding to the official soundtrack (a fancy way of saying Spotify playlist that I made for fun)

Back when this teaser image was released nobody said the words body swap (if somebody guessed it, they didn't comment on it), but it's been advertised this entire time. Show, don't tell is a powerful tool for mysteries!

Q: What appealed to us about doing a body swap story?

Q: Why did we give Flash self-esteem issues with his body?

Different kind of post this time. We got a request from someone over on Tumblr who, due to their ADHD and dyslexia, would prefer to listen to Empathy for the Devil than read it. And we'd love to make that happen, if possible!

Power up, boys!

There's something stupid fun about the idea of two characters combining their magic to get entirely new powers. Hell, in the show all about the power of friendship (and shipping), it's especially fun to see it reflect what's unique about their relationship.

Okay, so, I've mentioned that this is happening in a few scattered places, but not in one proper announcement post: I'm writing a novel-length fic (currently nearing 70,000 words and counting) that will have every chapter illustrated by Bevin Brand, who worked on Equestria Girls! Woo!!!

That said, there's a few questions I'd like to answer (along with some teaser images from Bevin!)

*Mockups Only

Ever wonder what Team Empathy's been up to? We're making a book!

I've been dying to share this news and for such long time but I can finally talk about it in detail!!! Empathy for the Devil is getting its own print copies! Let's Q&A this shit~

Q: Whoa! Actual physical books that I can hold in my hands? How???

Ooo-la-la! Someone's got a date. A date you'll be able to read in full!

I thought I'd give a few more details about the project, talk about where the ships are at in their relationships when we meet them, and go into what the process has been like in collaborating with an artist this closely.

So, to recap what this project is:

Enjoy it while you can, girls.

They won't be able to relax like this much longer. I'm so pumped that I can finally reveal the upcoming release date for Empathy for the Devil! Get that below! Plus, I want to talk about what it's like to be on the verge of finishing my first ever novel/novel-length story. That's a wild ride in and of itself, so buckle up.

Look at these buds. Wild times we're living in, huh? Make sure to wash those hands, you two!

Having something positive and fun to look forward to can be helpful. Has been for me, at least. Let's talk self-care, writing updates, and speaking of fun positivity, I'm super excited to give you a 5-page preview with a new illustration (read to see it)!
