Reflections - So, uh... I accidentally published a chapter · 9:48pm Sep 8th, 2017

Pretty much the title of this blog. I don't know how it happened but it must have been there for some time.

The chapter in question was chapter 18. Note that chapter 17 is not even out yet (that's for next week). So, if you did manage to read chapter 18, you did so having skipped a chapter. As of this time, I have unpublished the chapter again.

Sorry about all this, folks. I kinda blundered here.

Feedback - Now available in e-book format (pdf) again · 1:59pm Aug 30th, 2017

Hey all.

I just wanted to let you know that I made an e-book version of this story available. And by e-book, I mean a pdf that you can download. Fimfiction has a built-in epub thingy but it doesn't look as nice and, more importantly, it loses a lot of the formatting (especially italics, which you readers of Feedback may know is of some significance).

Reflections - Tinkering and otherwise making improvements · 7:48am Aug 27th, 2017

Hey all,

I've been doing some tinkering with the recently published chapters recently in order to improve the overall quality. If you've already read the latest three chapters, then most of the things that I've tinkered with shouldn't effect you too much. However, I did write an entirely new scene for chapter 14. I've included it at the end of this blog post.

Reflections - 32 · 6:27am Aug 23rd, 2017

32. That's the number of chapters that I am currently predicting this story will have. You could argue that three chapters which come later are really just one chapter split into three parts, and that would bring the actual number down.

So I guess a rough estimate on the total length will be around 120k words at the end. That seems pretty par for me.

Anyways, thought I would share this neat little bit. Expect today's chapter to drop 10am EST as usual~

Reflections - Some fun facts · 5:22am Aug 16th, 2017

Well, today is Wednesday. That's the usual posting day, but this week is an off-week. So, in lieu of no chapter today, I figured that I’d just share a few fun facts about Crystal Faire that I doubt I’ll be able to work into the story. They are of dubious canonicity but they might be true and canon.

  • Crystal will eat anything and everything. She’s won a few eating-contests in the past.

Reflections - New section in the appendix · 5:26am Aug 7th, 2017

So I recently got to thinking that a little short list of Reflections' mechanics would make for a helpful reference guide. I decided that I would give that a drafting tonight and I've added it into the appendix. I'm sure that the actual narrative has done a somewhat decent job of conveying these rules at one point or another but I figured having them in one place would be also really good.

I've included the new section in this page-break so that you can see exactly what I've put in.

Reflections - Crystal has gone bloop for a bit · 2:51am Jul 27th, 2017

I was having a good day today. But then I did an oopsie.

I've exchanged some words with the artist behind the original Flurry Heart vector which I used in the original cover art. Turns out she didn't want it being used as I used it. She asked me to take it down and so I said, "Okay, I'll take it down." If you've noticed that Crystal's not in the current coverart anymore, that's why.

She probably jumped to some other timeline, I reckon.

Reflections - I guess I made a group, I guess · 9:23am Jul 20th, 2017

I got to thinking about grouping all the stories that I've referenced and will reference into one place. I know that there is the appendix and all, but I figured "Eh, what the hell" and I just went ahead and made a group.
