Here's the new coverart for Between Bassdrops and Bowstrings, drawn by the amazing and awesome Little Tigress. Praise her! Seriously though, if you've got the cash, get some art done. She's a fantastic artist and an equally fantastic person.
Without further ado!
Well, Between Bassdrops and Bowstrings got a Second Opinion. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. It was filled to the brim with potential, and the reviewer made some astounding points. They were polite, concise, and -- best of all -- they offered help.
After all this time, my big Fic finally got a review. Two years of work writing it, with almost three years of editing and fine tuning. I poured everything I am into this story. I gave it all the love I have for the fandom's musicians, the characters I love, and the fandom itself.
So, apparently, Between Bassdrops and Bowstrings had been on the Featured page at some point or another and I hadn't known till just now...

... Hold on a second...
I AM SO FREAKIN' HAPPY RIGHT NOW!
It's finally happening!
A little context; I've been on a two-year hiatus for... well, two years. Before vanishing, I hinted at the probability of Bonus Chapters for everyone's favorite couple of musical mares. What didn't happen was the release of said chapters, since I had to go away for a time to escape the issues of my damn life.
A while back, someone made a fair point. In Bassdrops and Bowstrings, why is it that Octavia is automatically skilled with the Cello? And, beyond that, why is Vinyl not so awesome, right at first? After explaining it to the person in question, they made a comment that I should explain these things a little better in a blog post, as to explain my headcanon on these topics; namely, my headcanons on Cutie Marks and their relation to Destiny.
Symphonic Stomp
Inspiration?: She is a ponified version of my favorite musician, Lindsey Stirling. The chapter she will show up in will be a personal ode to Lindsey and her music. She's an awesome musician, an awesome person in general and is also a huge fan of MLP. I don't know if she's a Pegasister though.
Quotes:
So, originally, I had planned on the first bonus chapter for Bassdrops and Bowstrings to be based off the song "Music to my Ears", and set in the EQG world. However, I just got the urge to ask everyone who might be interested; should I make this a bonus chapter, or a whole separate short-story?

To celebrate I'm starting up an Ask Me Anything on here! All questions will be answered!
