Nightmare's Return is finally over. It's done. Finished. You can find the story here.
Thanks to all of you who have supported this story over the past two years. I couldn't have finished this story without you all.

EDIT: And... featured for the fourth time. :D
Almost not my fault. In any case, the new chapter I promised you all of Nightmare's Return is here! <- There's a link to the new chapter right there.
Also apparently it's back in the Feature box again. This is the third time I think it's been in there. That's pretty freakin' sweet.
One more chapter and the epilogue after this! Get hype! :D
What can I do to improve the story? This can range from anything to tips about how I write, to the pacing of the story, to character development... Anything, really.
One thing to keep in mind is that I have two (maybe three if push comes to shove) more chapters left in the story, and then it'll be done and I'll be onto writing the sequel. So... yeah.
Also Derpy.
“Our second welcome into this castle went much smoother than the first, do you not think?” Twilight hadn't stopped to think that there were any females in the Changeling Nation, other than Chrysalis herself. All of her research had pointed towards the entire brood coming from Chrysalis herself, so she had assumed that the rest of the brood had been male.
Somewhat shortsighted, she was now seeing.
Dec 27, 2014. Almost six months have passed since my last update for Nightmare's Return. I know it's been a really long time, and it's sincerely hurt to not have anything to write for that long of a period of time. Yesterday, though, something changed. I don't know how, but it did.
New story and new update for Nightmare's Return.
Also my college refund check is actually coming in this time, so I'll be getting a laptop, which means I can do story updates in more places than just in front of a library computar. So yay for that.
I have some free time today and tomorrow, and I want to do some writing so I can convince you all that I'm still alive. The problem is, I don't know what to write on. Here are my options for right now.
1) Write the next chapter of Nightmare's Return.
2) Write a new story, most likely a oneshot. The ones I have in mind (without revealing plot spoiler details) are:
Vanilla Twilight
I Came In Like A Flutter Ball
Twilight Burns A Book
So for those who have been following me for any appreciable length of time, you'll know that my life for the past few years has been pretty much a rough downhill slide. From being homeless to getting rejected for job offers left and right, things have not exactly been looking up for me. At more than one point, I've realized that basically the only two things that have kept me from going completely off the deep end have been ponies and my friends in the FIMfiction community.

EDIT: And it's back in the Feature box!
My morning project? Re-reading Nightmare's Return to identify any areas that I may have glossed over that need more explanation, especially concerning the plot. Also may or may not involve finishing up my Patron of the Moon EDH deck list. F'kin nerd, I know. I've been working with Chao some, along with some other ponies, getting their input on what needs to be done to make NR run more smoothly. I'm still on track for the story to end, four- maybe five- new chapters,
What do you think of the story so far? Is there anything you don't particularly "get" about the storyline or such? I'm just trying to figure out issues that I can possibly address as I go further with NR, seeing as I only have three chapters left to go (and then the epilogue) before the story is finished.
Long story short, nothing in my life ever goes right. I'm out of a job, pretty close to being out of a place to live, and I'm having writers block for Nightmare's Return like a son of a bitch. So don't expect anything new from me anytime soon. I'm not leaving FIMfic; I can't leave my family. However, shit got real and I don't deal with shit getting real very well.
I'm sorry, guys.
Tl;dr (because my browser crashed after I'd written a good two or three paragraphs on this entry) I'm still alive, just working a lot at the dog kennel owned by the person who I ended up having to move in with for reasons that may or may not involve being shot at 3 in the morning while outside taking a walk. So my stories will be even more slowly updating, and I'm putting NR on hiatus for the time being until my schedule becomes less hectic.
Fuck making status updates on my stories. I'm done with it. I never fucking follow through anyways. Just know that the next chapter of NR is in the works; I just don't know when it'll be posted.
The third-to-final chapter of Nightmare's Return will be posted today. That's right, kids. The ride's almost over. Never mind that there's another ride that'll be finished being built right after this one ends.
