Well, I'm not dead. Admittedly, I should have marked myself as on hiatus, but that can't really be changed now. Sorry guys, I have a bad habit of just... dropping out of contact when things get rough. I've become a little discontent with Collision Zone, specifically the later chapters, but there are aspects of the story that had far-reaching consequences that need to be rewritten, in my opinion. And that's exactly what I'm doing at the moment. The changes I've made so far are sat in Gdocs,

I didn't want to spam up your userpages with copypasted 'thanks for faving' posts, since I'm sure you get that from eleventy billion other authors, but I just wanted to thank you all for deigning to read my fic. It's only my second fic ever, so I never really expected too much from it. So thanks for the support, and the crit. Especially the crit. Hope you've enjoyed so far.

This is where I pray that the story blog feature actually does work, otherwise I'm going to look pretty dumb.

Gentle reader, I present to you my tired ramblings on fanfiction tropes that piss me off. With that in mind, let's begin.

To anyone who actually reads these... anyone remember the Steubenville rape case last year, where a teenage girl was gang-raped by members of a football team? Remember how CNN spent more time lamenting the loss of these 'star pupils' than lamenting that a woman had been raped? Yeah. Anonymous was the cause of most of the publicity this absolutely sickening case got, and now one of the activists who was responsible for releasing one of the videos of the event is facing jail time. For helping to

Well, I went ahead with it, so I figured I should probably detail some of the changes I have made to the ending scene of Chapter 2: Promises, Confessions. In the previous version, I didn't have a clear idea of what kept Celestia and Luna divided, so to speak, at the time of writing. It was up in the air, so I went with something close to canon, but a little angstier. Suffice it to say, that has changed, and my perceptions of their characters in this AU with it, as evidenced by the way Celestia

Now, I have a slight problem on my hands, it seems. I am, of course, writing this with the assumption that someone out there pays attention to what I write, and I'm honestly not enough of an egomaniac to assume anyone on here does, really... anyway, tangent over.

Author's note, of sorts: It's done. I just need to press-gang some people into prereading it, and then I'll feel comfortable releasing it, which will likely take place later this evening (GMT+0). Don't worry about asking me to preread it now, it's a bit late and I'll likely get some guys from the former TWE to do it if possible (You guys are awesome, you know who you are), since I really need to sleep at the moment, thus this blog is likely to be rambling and disjointed in places. In any case,

Never payed much attention to blogs, but I'd like to use this post to thank Axel Nyan, Killer Steel, DragonLS and Midnight Dancer for proofreading Collision Zone at various times. You guys are awesome, and I hope we can keep it up, if you have the time. I should have done this earlier, really. You deserve credit, since you guys were a massive help.
