Ask Me Anything! (Also, Small News) · 3:35am Dec 23rd, 2013
So, I got an early Christmas present a couple weeks ago: A TV Tropes page! I found it while googling myself because I needed to reread past chapters to make sure I didn't make a continuity error and I almost screeched like a velociraptor in the library. Out of all my presents thus far, it's absolutely the best one. (Though the dictionary of idiom origins comes really close) So, thank you mysterious Troper!
Meanwhile, the rough draft of the next chapter still hasn't started yet. It should be in motion by the end of this week, but it being Christmas and all I may not get to my usual writing spots (restaurants, libraries, that cafe-ish area in Target) will either be crowded or closed. Plus, when I don't have other work to do, I have a bad habit of lazing off and nothing getting done. In addition, while I know how the rest of the story will play out in terms of pacing and endings (mostly... the ending's still being developed) I actually have no idea what's gonna be in chapter 17. It's a little too early for stuff that happens in chapter 18 to happen yet, so I've got essentially another chapter dedicated to character development and maybe time skips, same as in chapter ten.
The point of this is, the next update will most likely be late. Or at least not a clean four weeks from now. It's all a bit up in the air right now.
So, to make up for that and because it's the end of the year, I'm opening the floor for an open question and answer session. Anything about the story, about the story, whatever. Spoilery answers will be hidden, of course, and nothing directly spoiled. For example, I may answer having to do with the end of The Last Unicorn, but not anything to do with the end of The Last Human.
While I always MEAN to answer most comments, especially questions, I don't always get around to it for one reason or another. So here's another chance if I accidentally passed over you in the comments.
I'll post the answers next Saturday.
PS: I am so stoked (do the kids still say stoked?) for the next few episodes. Applejack and Fluttershy clash over values! Rarity episode! Apples To the Core! Everything I ever wanted!
PPS: The most I see the new user page, the less I hate it. I do like the way I move modules around, after I added pics and junk and generally felt in control of my own space again I felt pretty okay with it. I still hate the way the top of it looks though. I should make a banner or write a bio or something.
Are there any gifts you would like?
How can you recommend us to read the Last Unicorn? Why?
Was there anything particularly difficult when build the story lore? (G1 to now, pony's human myths, etc.)
Hey! Congrats on the TV Tropes page!
Must've been wild to have just stumbled across it. How awesome.
