A couple things that, with apologies and due respect to the late great Dr. Seuss, we’ll call Thing 1 and Thing 2:
They deleted without explanation the original gofundme.com fundraiser I created yesterday, either because I didn’t verify my email address for several hours, or because I didn’t explain in the description how the money was going to get to them. So I recreated it last night and waited until this morning to see if it would stay up.
I deleted the previous blog post after I looked closer and found the original fundraising site to be shady. This one is through gofundme.com, which is a known quantity. So let’s try this again:
In a manner of speaking as its number of likes just reached 1776, the same number as the year of American Independance! I'd like to thank yet again everyone who read, enjoyed, or commented on the novelization, as well as the original author, Chrome Regios, who took on this Herculean task to begin with and churned out the first 42 chapters. The stories this work has spawned live on as well, in the form of the The Lawyer and The Unicorn, and the Firefly series. And of course, let's
Hey, folks. As most of you know, Raven (Chrome) Regios was the original author of the Turnabout Storm novelization, as she was very active on Fimfiction a few years ago, writing a slew of crossover MLP works. But then life happened, including school, job and marriage, and now she and her husband have a family to support.
Finished off the last two chapters this past weekend. Part 66 - Revelry, Race and Return had no major changes; just the usual cleanup plus a tweak or clarification here and there. For the most part I was already pretty happy with it, though I did make it a point to update one of the graphics:
Part 65 - Channel Change is the first of a two-part grand finale that I originally wrote as one large chapter, but decided that 30k words was a little much for a single chapter, even an ending one. Aside from the usual edits and cleanup, smoothing things out and putting in some additional detail and dialog, there is one major update to the chapter.
Enhancements this time include a new picture in Part 63 - Trick or Treat, and a more fleshed-out appearance by Celestia at the end of Part 64 - Frozen Heart.
A lot of cleanup, one big new sequence, and a brand new trial graphic added in these chapters.
With Part 59 - Of Mares and Men seeing some hefty additions to the attorney misconduct board scenes.
Before, the hearings were too short, and a major figure was not heard from--The Judge. Now, he has some very pointed things to say about both Phoenix and Trixie's performance during Rainbow Dash's trial, and Fluttershy makes a plea on Phoenix's behalf as well:
Part 57 - Revealed Racers is the chapter that you'll either remember for Phoenix's long talk with Trixie, or all the Frozen references. As I agree with the benefit of hindsight that I royally overdid the latter, all but one has been removed. And the only reason I kept that one was so I could turn around and subvert it:
In all the rush to get a second Firefly chapter completed by September's end, I forgot to announce that I had a couple more TAS chapters updated as well.
Thanks go to Denim_Blue, AJ_Aficionado and Silentwoodfire for getting to all this so quickly. There were three major upgrades to Part 53 - Fight or Flight, which is Sonata's confession chapter. Taking them all in order:
1. How did Sonata evade the Magatama?
...bringing us to the point of Sonata’s confession. Significant changes were made to both chapters, including some new graphics.
Nothing too major changed this time, just a lot of editing, smoothing, and the usual removal of 'violet unicorn' and 'human lawyer'. I've also learned a trick I'll share with you here:
Part 46 - Eye of the Storm remains my favorite standalone bonus chapter, detailing what was happening during the recess between Fluttershy's testimony and Sonata's. It showcased everything I was trying to do with the expanded story, from the shipping to the explorations of what was happening around the trial, taking a peek in at everyone from Twilight's friends to Lenora and Cruise
Including a new graphic.
Part 42 - Fluttershy: Lost and Found, you may recall, was the second bonus chapter I wrote, detailing Twilight's efforts to find Fluttershy after she was told off by Rainbow and left the courthouse crying. It was originally suggested by TheGoldCrow as a possible bonus topic, and Raven asked me to include the OCs of herself and her friends (including me) in it as a gift to
You may recall that in the videos, Trixie convinced The Judge to limit Phoenix's first cross-examination of Gilda based on the simple fact that she 'had an important job' and 'was very busy'. In reality, not even The Judge is so big a pushover he would let her get away with something so brazenly in defiance of court rules, so in Part 40 - A Mythological Witness I changed the
Though perhaps not in their final form as I'm still waiting for a preread from Silentwoodfire and Denim_Blue. They'll get to it later, but Part 38, you may recall, was the first all-new bonus chapter I wrote back in the day, and it remains one of my favorites for showing what happened the second morning before trial. I didn't think it needed much updating except to correct my violet unicorn syndrome (seriously, all my usages of it are painful to read now!) and also to tone down Phoenix's charm
