Never to surface again

Now that Lesson One has dropped off the front page, I'm going to go over how it did, how I'm thinking about it, and what I might change next time. I also plan on doing this same sort of post-mortem for Apples and Beating Her Heat when those finish.
Here are some numbers (as of right now):
231/22 like/dislike ratio
I FINALLY got the rough draft of this DKGFHIEORUHISGFKMDJFHNDF-ing humanized Twilestia story done. However, seeing as it's rather long and was partially written in the throes of writer's block, editing and proofreading it is a larger task than usual.
In short, I need a few people to help me out with proofreading.
It has been 22 days since my last update on Apples at Sunset, and, frankly, I'm pretty disappointed with myself for letting it take that long. To tell the truth, it's going to take some more time, too. I have a general idea of what I want to do with the next chapter, the problem is that I've been writing other things. I've got 11,000 of another story down, one that I kinda had to write because I couldn't think straight without doing so. I also had written and released another 6000 word
First off, THE TITLE TO PURPLEDOM/ESTRUS ADVENTURES HAS BEEN CHANGED. IT IS NOW CALLED 'BEATING HER HEAT'. I did not like the other title. It was far too ostentatious. Made me cringe every time I saw it.
I feel this comic really captures the essence of Beating Her Heat.
First of all, I need to step away from Purpledom for a while. I still don't like it, and while the most recent chapter has made it, I think, a much better story, I still don't have whatever "it" was that gave me the motivation to write the story in the first place. Getting those 4000-odd words out was still a pain. I'm toying with the idea of simply making it from new material (with the exception of one or two scenes from the original greentext).
...the bartender says, "Why the long face?" The horse does not reply because it is a horse, and cannot understand English. It is confused and somewhat frightened by its surroundings, so it canters out of the bar, knocking over some tables on its way out.

You actually READ clop? That's mortifying. God help the depraved soul that writes this horrible debauchery.
Apples at Sunset chapter 3 is now in proof-reading stages. Thanks to Jake the Army Guy and Jexx for volunteering their time. The rough draft is sitting at 6676 words. There is no clop.
Have the need. The need for people to read my shit so it's presentable.
I have a couple people I've been going to, but I don't think it's really fair for me to try to complete Apples and Purpledom by jumping on these kind people with my chapters and expecting a timely, thought-out review. I sent a chapter off to Jexx but I was too gung-ho on releasing it so I ended up publishing it before he got around to reviewing (sorry, Jexx!).
