Well, I'll sure try. Although it might take some time, and I'm not sure how long. This chapter took literal years to write, and the story itself has changed a lot over time (Although some elements remain the same). Hell, I've had the idea for the story brewing in my head for quite a while before I even started to bother creating it.
Now, will the next chapter take another couple years to write? I have no idea, and I'm hesitant to make any kind of estimate, let alone a straight up promise. I think if I sit down right now and commit my entire existence soley on writing the next chapter, it would take ~1 month, but obviously, real life is something I cannot ignore.
Take your time no pressure

Thanks. I know what it's like to wait (not fun), so I'll definitely be working on it when I can.
Aah I’m really liking this! Great job!!
Sorry for the three month long wait, everyone; procrastination's a cruel mistress. I was thinking about maybe making a blog post every week (maybe Saturdays?) that would report how much of the next chapter is done. Hopefully, it should make me more accountable, and, as an added bonus, everyone would also be assured that I didn't suddenly drop dead or whatever.
Let me know what you think.
Well, you caught my interest
Looking forward to more.

Thank you :)
I'm currently looking for prereaders. If anyone's interested, send me a message or make a reply to this comment.
I would love to proof read your new chapters. I really like what you have so far, I just hope you stick to it. There isn’t anything more sad than an unfinished story. (Especially when it’s a really good one.) Message me any details and in-depth info on what your looking for.

Where did you get that from?
I look forward to the next chapter. Hope it comes soon.

Wow, this is really interesting, especially the detachment he has for the other changelings. It must be throwing the others for a loop. I can’t wait to read more about this world and see where it goes! :)
10090468
Honestly, I can't wait to see where it all goes, either. I do have some things that I know I want to happen eventually, but I'm more so figuring it all out as I go along.
Good to see that you're enjoying it so far!
Hmm, you have my attention. Looking forwards to more.
I'm not sure "dissent" is the word you intend to be using here. Do you mean "disdain"?
10107056
I did mean to use "dissent", but a quick look in the dictionary showed me that I didn't actually know what it meant. "disdain" definitely fits better. I'll be sure to correct it soon. Thanks for the heads-up!

Appreciate it :)
I've said this before and I'll say it again: Stories with only one dislike don't deserve that dislike and whoever disliked it is an asshole
10112922
Eh, I just want to know why it was disliked in the first place. If there's a problem with the story, I'd ought to know what it is so that it can be amended. Otherwise, all the dislike tells me is that someone didn't like it for some unknown reason, which doesn't tell me much.
10112963
Or that they're an asshole. ;)
10112967
That's always a possibility, I guess.
I just wanted to make that one guy feel like less of an asshole.
10121687
Alright, I thought you might have been a troll at first, but on the off chance that you're not, is there anything you didn't like about the story?
10123134
No man, I was just messing around. Though I'm not going to change the dislike purely for the sake of the troll. Just imagine that one of those downvotes will always be an upvote. I like the concept of a changeling (who's actually a human) not remembering anything about who or what he is, and think so far you're doing it pretty well. Can't wait to see where you take this story and I look forward to your next update, my good sir.

Thank you! In all fairness, you did rustle my jimmies a lil' there. Took a bit of willpower to not respond.
Interesting Alt. HiE story so far, I do like that the Human is a changeling, and technically part of the 'winning side' but in the confusion of the situation makes it so that he his a captive of the resistance(being generous here) with an embittered Twilight that seems to hate his guts for good reason, but still doesn't just leave him alive but actually take care of him, just because he survived so magical phenomenon; I call bullshit and their is more to it even if Twilight wouldn't admit it herself.
I am easily guessing that this Crystal is actually Chrysalises, and is specifically following , but I wonder what she does the work herself instead of some other drone, so she has some keen interest in observing Twilight herself, and let her escape ambushes meant for her.
I can't wait to see when the guy will find some of his identity again, and which side he will pick when the chips are down, especially seeing how dickish Twilight has been with him. From the looks of things, her doesn't identify much with the changelings and it was lucky that Twilight found him before the changelings.
Also if you are looking to get a cover art for you story, I am open for commissions if you are interested in getting one for yourself. You can look up my DA gallery in the link bellow, you can PM if ever you have the chance. good luck on your story.

Very interesting theory, but I will neither confirm nor deny it.
Yeah, the cover art could definitely be better, but I'm not really willing to pay anyone just to improve it.

Also, what exactly is "Alt. HiE" and what seperates it from regular HiE? That's the first time I've ever seen that term being used.
10129529
It's more of a personal term I use for a 'Human in Equestria' that happens in an alternate reality where the it has the same cannon characters but doesn't follow the shows continuum; 'Praise the Sun' is a good example of that Where Equestria is ruled over by a tyrant Celestia and the main protagonist wants to fix everything to fit the cannon show.

I see.
Twilight really needs to learn how to calm down.
10136675
But then she wouldn't be as fun, though...

I wasn't serious but that's fine.
So, we can break out the champagne now, right?
10137397
Depends. You got any?
Well that's just mean Twilight. And sick.
10153654
the bug deserves it
10153665
From what I've read, maybe he once did, but not anymore.
10153675
the only good bug is a dead one
Hey, you have another dislike. That officially means that that other guy isn't an asshole.
10154846
Hell yeah, party time
I guess soon after the Invasion? Always one of the most favorite times to let a Changeling start thinking & acting for his own...
Ok... That not the main timeline... Interessting.
