As this may not show on your feeds because of its earlier accidental publication, Chapter 11, "Battling" of All The Way Back, my tale of Luna rediscovering her purpose in life after her liberation from the Nightmare, is now available in full. It's over 5500 words, as opposed to the mere 1000 or so I accidentally hiccuped in late April.

Last night I accidentally hit the "Publish" button on about 1000 words of Chapter 11, "Battling," of All The Way Back. I don't mind that people read this, but the chapter is actually going to be about 5000 words long when completed, and will probably contain the climax of the whole story. So, just that people know.

If anyone cares, here's the snippet. I can't claim it's perfectly edited yet.

Introduction: This was a truly awesome episode, about a seriously epic threat to Equestria. It was a Luna epsiode, and Luna is perhaps my favorite single character on the show. They handled really well. And they accidentally-confirmed some of my fanon, which is always nice.

A. In the Show

I didn't realize this, but the Fourth of July will be the day I post Chapter 7 of All the Way Back, which includes a mention of some really BIG rockets which the United States of Amareica built over four millennia ago, and thankfully never used in the fireworks display for which they were intended. Haven't posted it yet, but probably will within the day.

In honor of this (warning, extremely NSFW):

Yay, progress on this tale proceeds apace. The fun shall be doubled! Actually, Chapters 3-6 are conceptually connected and Chapters 1-6 would probably be "Book I" if this were being published and bound. Hopefully I'll get off my duff and conclude this sub-arc with Chapter 6 sooner than I went from Chapter 3 to 4 and 5.

All the Way Back.

I'd stopped work on this for a bit while I played with some new ideas, but now I've gone back to my main story about Luna's redemption and recovery from the Nightmare. Doesn't mean I won't also do more of the new stuff. However, Chapters 5 and maybe 6 should come faster now, as I finalized and introduced Fischfootur, who is definitely in Chapter 5 as well, and will almost certainly get mentioned in later Shadowverse works.

Yay!

For structural reasons I've cut the Dunnich scene out of the end of Chapter 3 of All the Way Back, where you may have already read it, and am moving it to the front of Chapter 4. This way I end Chapter 3 on an ominous note and put the character development and exposition where it belongs, in the middle of a chapter rather than as part of its climax. This is just generally better technique, as each chapter should ideally start on a hook and end at a mini-climax / denouement where

Just put up chapter 2, "Fledging," of my Luna-centered fic All the Way Back. In this chapter, Luna makes a major step toward her physical and psychological recovery. I also get to show her utterly lost when dealing with normal, softer emotions, and utterly in her element as she prepares for the possibility of bloody internecine war.

Princess Luna doesn't fit very well into modern Equestria. Here's the reason why.
