Light faded to darkness. Warmth vanished into freezing cold. Clear sky gave way to black snow. The earth below had disappeared, replaced by the gaping maw of an infinite abyss. Into the choking miasma of gunsmoke and combusted aether, Firefly dove.

I told myself that I wouldn't drop 12k word monster chapters anymore. They're difficult to write, stupidly hard to edit, and no one reading them has the attention span to really read them. But here I am, doing it again. I'll do what I can to pare it down once I finish writing it, but I've got 8.3k already and there are still substantial portions of the chapter that are only skeleton outlines.

A few updates for everyone:

Chapter 12: Red Moon just went live. This is the fastest turnaround that I've ever done, but I think it helps that the chapter was not as narratively dense as some of the other ones in Equestrian Horizon. It's mostly straight action and not a lot of layers to peel back.

Due to some asshattery between Fimfiction and Imgur, it seems my title cards refuse to display. Until I figure out what's going on, I'm going to remove them from the story. Music links will remain and the story will still get written.

Thanks for breaking all my title card links, FimFiction.

That's what my brain is like when I work without creative drive and play through the pain. Sometimes I can drown the pain of writing complete shit by making myself livid over the fact that I haven't worked on something in weeks.

Stayed up until 5AM to complete the draft. Got 900ish words into following chapter. Completed revisions 19 hours later.

Self-loathing never felt so good.

I'm not going to lie. I hate this chapter. I've rewritten it twice from the ground up, banged my head on my desk for missing stupid stuff, reworked the dialogue more times than I can count, walked away for a few days, and it's still not done. Again, I'm not going to make excuses because I've been trying to get out of the habit for a long time. But I am going to say that it will be a while before this chapter is presentable. Even then, it may undergo further rewrites as the story

So after some review, I've deleted two chapter outlines and... the main villain.

I know, I know. What story would be complete without a villain? The answer is: this one.

... comes another fight.

I know, no one asked for any of that boring, talky plot and character development, just bring on another firefight!

But seriously. I'm beating my head against my desk trying to get these chapters out. It's so incredibly frustrating having all the outlines done but none of the meat ready to string up on the bones. It's even more frustrating already having run these scenes in my head enough to get sick of them and still not having transcriptions of them down.
