New Story Appears! · 3:26am Sep 12th, 2015
Hi guys, so here's hoping you saw the new story!
The Sweetie Chronicles: Fracture is a Side Story to The Sweetie Chronicles: Fragments. The reason it's marked as a sequel is because there's no "Side-Story" option to tie them together! Which I'm hoping is fixed sometime, because it caused some confusion.
Anyway, this story is going to be relatively short, all things considered, but will tie nicely with the whole TSC universe. There's plenty of theories out there as to what's going on, but well... you'll have to wait and see!
I'm hoping to update this one bi-weekly, but expect one new chapter per month at least!
I kinda like the cover art, but if I find/make something nicer, I might replace it... as it, but I don't think it's too bad. What'cha think?
(Also forgot the title, go figure.)
Yes, that "sequel" bit resulted in many 's on my part!
I like the cover. It's kinda weird and messed up looking, but I think that's what you were going for?
Edit: It doesn't need the title. That would just get in the way or you'd have to shrink the image. The big, literal fracture gets the point across quite well without a title within the image. Or am I completely missing the point here, and you meant that you forgot to title the blog...
She must be in another world extremely similar to her original one or something. Or it's a dream sequence. There's no way you'd give us the payoff before finishing the buildup.
Yes, I saw, and I am looking forward to MOAR!
3386040 Or this fic takes place in its own universe with its own separate Sweetie who went through a similar experience, which would raise the question of whether or not this SB could meet our SB, and if so, what would then happen, or if, perhaps, this is an SB from a similar-but-not-the-same universe going to the universe our SB is fr-
What's even more amazing is the temporal distortion field the story exists in which practically takes place a whole year before Mendacity part 1. . .
3386147 Does it?
3386018 Title for the blog, but thanks for the comments on the cover XD
3386040 3386075 Hm... the possibilities are endless...
3386049 Soon!
3386153 also... MOAR FRAGMENTS!!!

Well, I'm not entirely sure if that's accurate from Sweetie or Rarity's perspective until I see more, but that's what it might look like to an outside observer when checking on the completion tag. Which says '2014.'
The ending to Transient Pulse is hiding somewhere in the Clockwork Mansion Forum from 2008, hiding between scripts for a chipmunks parody, unless it was purged when/becasue the mods didn't seem to like the idea of me having a separate thread for my comics and my writings in the artist showcase. The names were changed but most of the elements are still there, and I have a back up in a documents folder.
Of course, time constraints meant I didn't get around to start drawing it until 2011. And, by then, the interest was sort of lost. Especially, when you're talking twelve hours a page at minimum even if the comic sucked.
3386205 *Raises finger* I—totally forgot that the date was on that thing from last year... XD Go figure.
I think the artwork is pretty sweet. The fractured glass nicely represents some of the shattered theme from the story. Especially the family life of Sweetie and Rarity, which has been shattered in very deep ways. At this point, even when Sweetie returns home, life won't be the same. Sweetie will be a completely different character than Rarity knew before. They will probably have to get to know each other all over again. There's no going back, and something will be irreparably lost.
So, aside from looking cool, I think it nicely represents the general concept of your story.
Though I am curious why one of her eyes is yellow...
Explain the nature of this clearly marked side-story then, D.
Saw the new side-story in my feed well before this post, actually. Good to know you're active in more than one way regarding TSC. I wonder what TSC Rarity/Sweetie would feel like if another Sweetie Belle waltzed into their world, though. Could be an awesome little nugget of epic story!

But that won't make the system recognize it as being connected.

That had better be your index finger and not some tertius, because that would definitely be an abuse of power.
*shrugs* either way, I still look forward to the not-not ending of the sweetie chronicles.
If you do replace the cover art, make Sweetie Belle pay for it to recompense you for the one she broke.
