    Proof I'm not dead

    So I'm aware I've been dead quiet lately, and I felt the need to touch base. So here's a peek at the next song in the upcoming chapter without any context. My way of giving you something. Its no where near finished, but progress is being made.

    Harddive died

    Last year when I had my little vacation I noticed my laptop having signs of its approaching death, so I ordered a cheap external hard drive. It was a panic purchase, I am very uneducated on computers aside from their general use, and copied all my data. I since used it as the main storage space to keep microsoft's prying eyes out of my affairs (its the spirit of the thing rather than having

So I sat down to plan out the final events of Lord Barleycorn.. · 4:24am May 22nd, 2018

5 pages.

And its all quick, vague sentences like 'carrot top does this.' 'cherry nova talks about ____' so its nothing but a basic framework for me to build on but... 5 whole pages? I'm not sure how many chapters this will equate to and it's subject to change but wow. xD

I am both excited to see what you have in store, and sad that one of my favorite stories will be ending soon.

Twilight in me approves more text!

That's how most scripts start dude.

Hey man, an out line is all you need to guide your way.

Looking forward to it and can't wait to see how it all turns out. :trollestia:

Well it surprised me there's that much. For so long I've just has the big bullet point events that had to happen. In order to connect them quite a bit's got to happen.

And I didn't even count what's got to happen in the epilogue. :trollestia:

I'm not complaining

Probably 8-10 more chapters roughly... If not double that. But still, it's good that you know where you want the story to go however.

Hey, outlines don't have to be big, precise, outlandish things. They can be simple and straight to the (bullet) point. :twilightsmile:

As for the epilogue, it depends on whether Jack stays in Equestria (plus the reason he stays; choice/no choice), goes back home (how he's received; did his love ones continue to miss him or move on), and what happens to the ponies (do they learn his a human, what a human is, or just continue to believe in Lord Barleycorn, the King of Autumn).

Just add these as a few more bullet points and I'm sure you'll do just fine. :derpytongue2:
