It may have been a "bad" ending, but I empathize with Rainbow so I think you made a good ending. You dun good.

Hope you like writing the next book more!:yay: Favorite pony is here now!

... oh. OH! Very vague spoiler:

Land of the Thunder Dragon? And it's mountainous, just like where they talked about going before this evening's incidents? It makes sense now!

3456415 Oh darnit you have my avatar! Time for another change then!

That ending was unpleasant, but that isn't the same thing as bad. I hurt inside, but I'm okay with it.

Also, as someone who has had a long fascination with Buddhism and Himalayan cultures, that teaser makes me squirm with curious excitement.

After I sleep some namesake deprivation away, I will give you my two bits +- lots of this book of easthorse. Though, I think this was the best ending of the 7 so far; more on this later.

I can already tell Book 8 is gonna be like Harry Potter 5 where everything is 200% angstier and the main character starts yelling at the slightest provocation and watching evilly over everything is the worst villain in the universe calling you a dumbshenanigan and laughing at you while a horde of cats looks on silently

How does it feel to know you've written a typical-length novel (90000 words) in the last 10 days alone?

I know how I would feel: time to play some video games for about 100 hours

Think You can come up with that chapter real fast so I can book it in my favs? :pinkiehappy:

Also, Tell that Essay guy he needs to give a little more love to his story, unless he's just no longer interested; in which case, make it quick.

Um...
Book 7. Ynanhluutr - (March '15 - October '15) - Completed - After a startling discovery, Rainbow Dash continues her flight east
What?
Today's the 10th of October, not the 15th Skirts.:rainbowhuh:
Also way to make a grown (not really, still in high school) man cry.:fluttershysad: I don't know whether to love you, hate you or hit you with a potato.:pinkiecrazy:
Also today is world mental health day, I think your doing it wrong.

I'm looking forward to the recovery or descent and thanks for all the east horse.

*Okay, this is seriously my last serious guess at the Book 8 name. For serious.

Oh shit, I'm going to have to start catching up again, aren't I?

I must concur that Ynanhluutr is probably my least favourite book yet. Probably due to the lazy way you admitted to writing it. With the exception of the beginning and the end, it was all very slow and somewhat dreary. The interesting moments were few and far between and most of those interesting moments were stretched out so much that they ended up all tepid and flat.

But damn, that ending. It was like you wrote a whole new story just for those last ten or so chapters—which in terms of word count, you effectively did. You crammed about 70 regular-sized chapters worth of words into there.

I just hope you don't decide to take a 70 day break to supplement that. I am so anxious to see the aftermath of that.

i anxiously await book 8. you've created something amazing (wrong friggin' A-word!) here, SSaE/IC. don't ever forget that.
ever onwards, ever eastward!

The problem with book seven is that most of it reads like a travelogue; impressive world building, to be sure, but apparently aimless and divorced from overall story arc. It's only at the very end that it becomes clear—in hindsight—that it was all setting up the payoff. And what a doozy it was! Sure, anyone with at least two working neurons saw the penultimate chapter coming, but the aftermath of the final chapter? You didn't pull any punches, and you are to be praised for that.

I like the implication that the entire series so far has been the mad ramblings of Mr Frodo. But what the heck was in that Lembas bread?

About to catch up, then these chapters happened.

Congratulations on finishing the book, it was a calmer ride than the previous ones but that ending kinda ripped the calm to shreds..
I am looking forward to book 8 a processing and solution to what just happened in those last 2 chapters.

I dunno, I think we needed a bit of a punch to the gut to break from the casual nature of Ynanhluutr. I'll admit, I sort of lost interest in this story during the Shoggoth arc. The Luminards were quite compelling, though, and with that ending, jarring though it may have been, you have certainly recaptured my attention.

Looking forward to book 8.

Goddamnit Skirts you're not supposed to make me laugh after you make me cry! :twilightangry2:

But is it the most annoying Austreoh book, or just the most annoying Austraeoh book until now?

Is... is that Bhutan? How would you even go about spelling Bhutan with a "U"? Just "Uhtan?" Because that doesn't sound nearly silly enough to be an Austraeoh book title.

Or it the joke that it sounds like "button" and I'm just incapable of comprehending humor?

EDIT (roughly 30 seconds later): Oh yeah, I guess Dash is going to be exploring some mountainous terrain pretty soon.
