I cant wait for the mini-arcs and then the next Bic arc. I wonder what kind of theme you will do for the next big arc.
While I do feel that the war could have went a little longer, the fact that Max became a literal GOD makes up for that tenfold (I honestly was not expecting him to become a god in this chapter). The chapter was fucking glorious, and if anyone tells you otherwise, I hope that they drown in a bucket full of semen for lying.
I only really have one question l, is that how you intended it to end, if you were to go through the arc marketing it as long as you originally wanted it, was Max becoming a god by killing discord how you wanted to end the arc?
I'm just curious really, I'm all up for long reads and such, and I understand the quagmire that is included in writing those(that's why I haven't put my idea that's been kicking around in my head for years to 0paper and put it up in the site), but curiosity, and excitement for the "bigger bad" is the reason for this comment
this did feel kinda rushed. but to be honest, i AM glad this discord war thing is over. granted this kinda killed a lot of the past chapters since his team became 100% useless but yeah, i rather have max's day to day since those are way more amusing. that being said and i know this isn't over just yet but what happens to "US"? the loser still reading these journals?

I didn't intend for Fifty-Seven to go as it did, if that's what you're asking. It's just thaT I got so fed up with The War and it killed me. I recently had another bout with Writer's Block, but instead of scuttling another arc like I thought I was going to have to, I decided to do some illegal shit and just take a break from writing since I'm not exactly writing against a deadline these days. In the end, The War Arc ended because I didn't see a way out and forced one in to save (Or at least I thought) my love for writing.
There will be a bigger bad after the mini-arcs, but the big arc I'm doing right now involved a crafty way to settle an issue if I do say so myself. It's actually been pretty fun to write for, but earlier in the arc is when I struggled with Writer's block again. After a week or two, I came back and got the ball rolling again, so our new villain is currently fucking with our protagonist.
8589274
It was rushed, but ending the war birthed a 50k word chapter, so I find that it was definitely worth it. You, the reader, shall continue on this journey as you so please. The story continues until, at the very least Chapter Sixty-Eight: Rebel Yell. The word count as of right now is 341,383, so there's plenty more to read as of yet. I'm just wondering whaT I'm going to do for Chapter Sixty-Nine.
You have now run up on The Escalation Problem.
The main character is effectively the strongest thing.
8589332
Keyword being effectively. I have a plan for another arc involving betrayal, sweg, worthy foes, and more innuendo than you can shake your stick at.
Will Rarity and Max ever reconcile? And what about Sweetie Belle? She never got the once-over for lying.
8589343
how big and how figurative is said stick? dimensions pls.
So many ways for Discord to bog out because things were getting boring, after all, having Max, means he must know Shakespear and other return from the dead human stories as well. Generally the bigger bad is Grogar?
Given he dialed up, with Twilight right next to him, does that mean shes now pregnant?
Given the events, wouldnt Pinkie decrated at least one room in the castle for the Max Party?
Gods hate Mortals, because Mortals exist to keep Gods in their place. Or Erase them.
8589280
No my question was did you want to give home the power boost, in the way he got it?
Also forgot to mention l, is the rock-paper-scissor mantra supposed to be a reference to HunterXHunter?
8589343
Oh there are plenty of ways to keep it interesting, and even have conflict, but you have to be careful you handle it well. You just can't really have a martial reason to drive the plot without jumping the shark and breaking SoD.
You've not let me down so far, so I'm wondering what's up next, but I'm still wary of The Shonen Problem™.
I'm glad that's over. And speaking of Rarity and Sweetie Belle, what about Night Light? His part didn't feel very... satisfying
8589399
I dropped the Sweetie Belle thing since it was undoubtedly going to be a little aside that probably wouldn't amount to much. And I kinda forgot about it.
8589459
Well, it's your stick, so that all depends
8589663
I have little idea of who Grogar is, so he will not be the bigger bad. However, the bigger bad is set in stone, though after that? Don't really have a concrete plan as of yet. That's still over ten chapters down the line, so I've got time to figure it out.
8589779
Oh, then no. I never intended for Max to become a god in the first place. I didn't want him having Discord's power because it would make the fight too easy, but I found a way to work around that and to build off of it. Amusing shit happens later on, if I do say so myself because of it.
I've heard of it, but I've never actually read/watched it.
8589853
So far, I've got an alt villain that's being resolved as I right, another considerably stronger villain that'll be fun to write for, and a back-up villain that'll come up after that one.
I also have the end game cobbled together in my head, but nothing quite rock solid yet.
8590248
Well, like I said, I'm curious to see how you handle it.
8589881
The Rarity/Sweetie Belle thing was deemed ultimately unimportant i the grand scheme of things, but I figured that Night Light was a minor enough antagonist that he didn't warrant much more than the odd reintroduction in a later chapter. The problem with having a large cast to work from is that I tend to focus on about ten people in a situation, and here recently, that list has been getting harder and harder to manage because I keep adding people, which I need to stop doing. Night Light might learn about what Max and Noir did to him, but it's not happening any time in the next few chapters.
8590251
I look forward to having you read it.
8590257
I can wait. Incidentally, Grogar was a villain from the MLP G1 show
8590308
Ah, I don't watch that shit. It's for little girls.
8590463
True but if it weren't for that, this story wouldn't be here.
8590588
Nah, mlp is for little girls dude
8590595
Fuckin tiny ass George Foremans
DIG THROUGH THE DITCHES AND BUUURN THROUGH THE WITCHES
Kinda glad the war ended and that you saved your love for writing as well. The story is best when it has smaller slice of life stuff anyway. And now with the god thing will be quite fun to see the trouble max gets in and pranks pulled.
8591069
I'm glad people are reacting positively to the end of The War. I was convinced that I'd be pissing everyone off, but lo' and behold, I was fuckin' wrong.
I've reread my shit four or five times now and I think you're right, personally. The slice of life parts are generally easier for me to write since I like interrupting happiness with conflict and handling shit in weird ways. The operative missions were fun, but The War was tedious as shit once I started getting bogged down in the shit
8592438
I know. It donned on me after I made the comment. Still it's very funny
So max is a God now if all it took for him to do all of that why he didn't do a lot sooner. My one question that I also have will he ever go out with the other princesses and you know it just do them. I'm looking forward to the next chapter can't wait for it to come out good luck.
Oh good now I don’t need to ask about the war
8595751
MAx has to see with his own eyes what he's stealing. Discord never made a personal appearance until Chapter Fifty-Seven. Yes, Max saw Discord by proxy at the Equestria Games, but it wasn't person-to-person.
Dude's not 'going' out with anyone other than Twilight and Celestia, at least, that's what I'm going to keep it to. Max might get some side action here and there, but he won't romantically pursue anyone else.
8599334
Every time a story like this starts finishing things in quick blows my heart near stops in terror that it is ending, so while its likely impossible... Don't stop. Ever. You're talent in writing is incredible and if you run out of ideas maybe ask for some.
OK that sounded like a command not a request but what I mean is this story is excellent and so long as it is here, we will read and support it. You da best mate, you even inspired me to start writing. F*cking ME! Do you know how hard it is to make me do anything? But in all seriousness stay great, pal.
8602503
Lately it's just been Writer's block keeping me from writing, but there's also another story idea bouncing around in my head and I'm considering making it a thing. It would mean that I'd probably extend the schedule for A Thief's Tale further to keep up releases, and I just don't want to do that quite yet. The idea is barking at me as I type.
Thank your for the continued readership, and double down on that shit for the support. I might stop writing just to spite you, but thanks.
I made an odd though elated noise when I read that I inspired you to write. I love getting people started on the path to getting their own stories out there. Makes my day every time. I would have replied to this while I was at work (Showed your comment to one of my coworkers. Got called a faggot for writing MLP shit, still got props) but I hate trying to reply to shit on my phone.
8603564
Heheheh, nice that he still gave you props ;), I'll lay off the text support though if you make a bloody good chapter I may not be able to help myself. :P
Super duper spectacular build up andanticlimactic ending
8603714
I like the text support, though it makes me want to add in an Indian guy just to see what I come up with.
8604593
I had to get it over with. Wasn't much of a choice there
It's OK just disappointing
8605070
Shit dude, you're telling me. I hate that I ended my first real arc in such an abrupt manner, but it's something I'm working on so I don't have to feel guilty and anxious again.
8605058
Haha, yeah in that case I could keep going ;P Maybe I'll do it in a horrendous Indian accent to spice it up. Although any newcomers may not realise the joke....... Still who needs them to know, eh?
8605558
Inside jokes birth better ones anyway. That's why they're kept inside; so they can grow and evolve into thought babies.
No apologies needed, I think this was a fine conclusion to the war. Any more would have been a couple more tired level "boss fights" or more discord drama before the magic time nuke. This felt just as fulfilling for me personally.

It still niggles me that I didn't do as much as I wanted to with The War, but honestly, I had espionage, multiple skirmishes, full-scale battles, and plenty more in mind. It would have been a series of its ow .
the fucker literally wants nothing more than to watch the world burn, and twilight wants him alive, because she's too much of a punk ass bitch to do anything to anyone other than max, who is in turn too much of a punk ass bitch to do anything to twilight, while being capable of doing it to others. also worth mentioning, the only reason twilight gets away with jack shit against max is because max is bound to her through the covenant. it also seems that the covenant weighs heavily in twilight's favor, influencing max much more than it does her.
9741381
The covenant was always made to chain Max down. That's why I retconned it in the end of the whole series and had fun with Twilight's death.
I see now why you are making a rewrite, this chapter was amazing but it felt more like a happy ending than a mid story chapter, I honestly had no idea what you where planning and I loved it, no matter how much I tried I couldn’t predict you next move and that’s why I love your story so much, it’s just refreshing to see someone fisting stereotypes and cliches. I have a big question about the rewrite tho, What is changing is general ? Are we talking minor plot holes and correction or are we going full new or diff relationships and interactions?
