I apologize for the long delay for the most recent chapter. I was having real trouble with anxiety and depression, and it was hard for me to find motivation to keep working. I'm learning to make writing fun for me again, rather than feeling like work. I might have needed the rest anyway to gain more inspiration.

During their stay in Tartarus, I attempt to extrapolate the personality of each of the Knights of Order, trying to uncover what barriers might be in the way of them considering the love of friendship.

Until recently, I was publishing my story completely linearly. Now sometimes I might add a chapter between two chapters I've already published. However, the central elements of the main plot -- they will still be published in chronological order. Side plots, on the other hand -- they may not be published completely in order (but they will be properly numbered and properly arranged).

"Spike's Friendship Triangle" is currently listed as #15. I think I want to add at least two chapters between "Meeting the Students" and "Spike's Friendship Triangle". Therefore, the next two chapters I post will probably come before "Spike's Friendship Triangle", bumping it to #17.

I'm in the middle of writing the latest chapter of my story. Here is what I have so far:

For a "Season 11", I would love Hasbro to achieve these basic goals:

1. Give the Knights of Order a redemption arc -- finally uniting the Elements of Patriotism with the other sets of Elements.

(The Knights temporarily lose connection with their Elements -- because their murderous hate starts making them harsh and selfish toward their own subjects. The message is this: You don't love your own country if you don't care for the people who live in it.)

When I listened to the feedback for Chapter #1, I realized that I wasn't handling Twilight's and Cadance's characters properly. I hope that my revision satisfies most fans' expectations.
