This is going to take longer than I thought.

I had a specific idea in mind for what I wanted to do, but it's not working out like I wanted it to. So now I have to scrap it and start over from the beginning again.

Sorry about that.

... And I could've quite happily lived the rest of my life without that knowledge as well.

I really hate to do this, but it's going to be a good while before chapter 136 is up.

This is both because I want to try something different after where I left off in the last chapter, and because the writing bug has demanded I work on another story to exorcise certain ideas that won't go away otherwise, and would only get in the way if I tried to incorporate them into HIE.

Sorry about that.

Chapter 134 should be up in another 5 or 6 hours.

Chapter 133 is going to be released soon, once the last round of proof reading is complete.

It's recently come to my attention that Discover Card has decided to implement the use of merchant identifying codes, which will be used to identify and track when their cards are used in he purchase of guns and/or ammunition. Meaning if their records are ever subpoenaed by government they'll have a list of individuals who've bought guns and on what dates they were purchased.

Fuck you, Discover!

A new chapter will be coming sometime tomorrow night. I just need to do a bit more polishing before then.

A new chapter should be up sometime tonight, barring internet issues getting in the way.

The FIMfiction notification system seems buggy at best. I don't know how many readers got alerts that two chapters were released over the last two weeks. I know I wasn't getting any notifications that anyone actually commented on them until I went in and checked the chapters myself.

So I'm not going to rely on the automatic notification system to alert folks. Now whenever I post a new chapter I'm going to post a blog so the readers will at least get that notice.

Is everybody getting notifications about story updates and whatnot? I've been missing notifications about reviews, replies, and other stuff going on. Is FIMfiction.net under attack or something else going on behind the scenes?
