Big changes, possible new story · 12:39am Jun 27th, 2015
First things first: The Patreon Rewards have changed to resemble the previous proposal, which involved moving the pre-reading reward down a tier to make room for scene-by-scene updates, so that's now a thing, and the first scene of chapter 16 is up!
Now, more importantly to the other 99% of you—you may or may not know that at the very beginning of this month, the Patreon managed to reach a new goal, which is great! The proposed result of that goal, however, is that I'm supposed to post 10,000 words every month, or I forfeit a large chunk of that money to a fanart fund for the story…!
Ouch. But hey, these sorts of things work.
The thing is, though, that posting two chapters of the same story two months in a row… yeah, that doesn't happen. I did prove back in January, though, that I can do it with two different stories. I didn't post that story back in January because it was just a weird random thing—written in present-tense, no less—and if I was going to have a second story, I already had something planned (Schrödinger's Dawn). Fast forward to six months later, though, and Schrödinger's Dawn still isn't happening, I need that second story, and hey, everyone liked my take on Sunset Shimmer in the April Fools chapter…
So I wrote another 5k words, bringing it to 15k in two chapters, and it's currently in the hands of patrons and prereaders. Unless the response is really bad, you should be seeing it before the end of the month, and if you are or become a Patron, you can go give me your opinion on it now.
Coming Soon
Please help me with names again, someone…
Changeling Twilight Sparkle and her number-one assistant, Sunset Shimmer, try to study magic without learning any wholesome lessons of friendship. They fail.
I see you're going the pun route. It's not horrible and if no one suggests anything better, it's a serviceable title. You could certainly do worse.
Given how much humor is in Sharing the Night, I'll be looking forward to your comedy work.
...Huh. :D
Yeah, I'd be no help with names. My track record is "Scratching a Bothersome Itch" and "The Ultimate Life form". I'm not the most creative with names.
Concept sounds brilliant.
My name suggestion however ridiculous it may be is: "Blatent Disregard of Cemented Facts"
I've been so out of it due to work lately. I need to dig into this new stuff and see what you're brewing. :) I love your sense of humor and your ability to world-build without going overboard with it. Changeling Twilight fics intrigue me for reasons I can't quite place at the moment, and Sunset Shimmer is really growing on me.
Can confirm, is funny.
