The regularity with which Fimfiction makes awful choices in formatting restrictions continues to baffle me. Before the latest batch of changes, in the good ol' days, the site would automatically indent your paragraphs. Now there is physically no way to indent the first sentence of a new paragraph, at least that I'm aware of, and the formatting changes encourage double-spaced lines instead of indentations. If you want to indent something, you have to manually do so with every single new line. Changing to a new line of dialog, or shifting to the next bit of story advancement? Better manually indent that shit, but only after you've already pasted the story over from your external story document, because indentations don't translate. Why? Because fuck you, this is the way our formatting works now. Too bad!
I guess I'm just fucking weird and old for growing up with these things called "books" that were properly indented and spaced. Even if you try to manually force indentations on your story via the appropriate option bar (which doesn't actually seem to do anything), the "show preview" button is completely useless because it shows manual indents as line breaks, meaning that the formatting you see and the formatting everyone else sees doesn't match up. So I have to open the chapter in a completely different tab and switch between the two any time I make an editing change during proof-reading. HOW CONVENIENT AND INTUITIVE. Because fuck things like "having a coherent style" or "proper formatting", let's just make every single piece of literature on our site look like rank amateur garbage!
Forgive me, I'm old and A N G E R Y that after 4 years of writing my story now has a shitty style shift for the last act.
On a more positive note, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is fucking amazing and you should all watch it if you haven't. That's not related to writing or my story, but that doesn't matter. I might be a weeaboo degenerate, but trust me on this one.
Anyway, I can't think of anything else to say right now, so I'll see you for the next update. Hopefully I can make it a longer chapter now that we're not slammed with guests every night.
Thanks for the update!
Still want more!

Pretty much every update the site gets worse. And when you report a bug you get nothing, not even a "thanks for reporting it". Because knighty is cool like that. Fun fact, after one of the updates I criticised the style and he had a hissy fit at me before deleting the comment. Not until someone screencapped it though.
The attempt to take on fanfiction.net is going to crash and burn. And the site's only one email to Google away from having all ads pulled. Just mention the site has paedophile ("foalcon") stories, and watch the site instantly get permanently blacklisted.
I predict Elynwynn gets stabbed in the back by her brother in the end.

Welp more stuff to watch then and yeah that sounds like a pain in the ass. I don't know why anyone would make it harder to write on the FAN FICTION site of all places.
talk about a fall. that was great!
2600 words? That has to be the longest fall off a cliff ever!
I'll start charging my friendship laser. Somedeerie needs it. Right in- I mean, to the face.

So, what's the imprisoned doe been up to this whole time? She wasn't great, but I still hope she manages to stay out of the Empress' way.

_____We’re just a couple of old people who read actual books. It’s why I decided to start including links to Google docs in future chapters and stories in case people want to read the story the way it’s supposed to be read.

Ah books, yes those things that us old people used to read. Why I still have the one volume edition of Lord of the Rings laying about somewhere.
How nice.

_____Hmm, yes, quite right, as do I, good sir.

Here here, now I shall retire to my study with a cup of tea to read a good old fashion book sir. Yes.

Mmm, yes, I see you are men of culture as well.

Hmm yes, quite right.
I have really enjoyed reading this story. I just wish Celestia was stronger through. She controls the sun so why hasn't she sent down beams of light and fire to reduce the deer army to not but ashes and slag? What has she done to directly benefit the war effort? I honestly have more respect for Elynwynn and her brother for directly leading their people in this war. Celestia seems content to just watch her people get slaughtered from her ivory tower. How anyone can follow a leader so weak is beyond me, that's for sure.
