[Announcement] "Dreamwalker Dash" will return next week! + 300 Words of Chapter 9! · 12:08am Jan 15th, 2021
The long wait for "Dreamwalker Dash" will be over soon. I have picked up work on Chapter 9 again this week and next week, on Wednesday, the story will finally return to updating!
For everyone who didn't read the announcement of my writing plans for the first half of 2021, here is what you need to know about the story's return:
.
.
I will resume work on "Dreamwalker Dash" tomorrow, with my usual pattern of writing a new chapter on Monday and Tuesday and releasing it on Wednesday.
Since I have skidded into writer's block with Chapter 9 and want to make sure that everything will be ready and also to give you some time to re-read the first eight chapters after the announcement of the story's return, the first new chapter release with Chapter 9 will happen on January 20th.
From this date onwards, the story will proceed with weekly updates.
.
.
But don't leave yet, cause I can tell what you want after this announcement! To give you an idea what awaits you in Chapter 9, I have a teaser ready for you. A 300 words teaser even, not normally a length I am choosing for a story teaser, but it's appropriate after the long wait you all had.
And since I have just begun to write "Dreamwalker Dash" again, the teaser is the very beginning of the chapter! Because symbolism is great:

As Rainbow Dash stepped onto the grounds of the friendship school in the following night, the air was permeated by the presence of something that was ominous. The towering building loomed in front of her, blacker than the nightsky, the dark windows indistinguishable from the rest of the structure. Rainbow Dash sucked in air through her closed, gritted teeth as she ventured forth.
Patches of fog wavered over the inner courtyard. Howling preceded a stiff, cold breeze that blew over Rainbow Dash's body and flung her mane and tail violently to the side. Rainbow Dash shivered and it wasn't from the drop in temperature. The tiny light of a candle she was carrying with one wing was protected from the wind by a tightly shut door at the front side of the lantern that contained it. Rainbow Dash braced herself and took the path to the left.
The inside of the dorm building was pitchblack. Holding the lantern in a tight grip, Rainbow Dash moved from door to door and checked if they were closed and locked. Under a few of them, a thin line of a yellow light shone out into the corridor. Startled noises and whimpering could be heard behind those doors when Rainbow Dash pulled at the handle.
As she was finished with her task and had found all of the doors locked, Rainbow Dash took up position in the middle of one of the corridors and focused on her surroundings. She stood completely still and listened into the silence. As a dull sound of something falling occurred, her head yanked around. A complaint and some bickering followed, emerging from one of the students' rooms.
“So you aren't here.” Rainbow Dash breathed a sigh of relief. At least the students who stayed at the school during the semester were safe. She left the dorms and locked the building again.

Stay easy as a filly!

If you were notified about this blog entry, it means you have "Dreamwalker Dash" in a bookshelf. Bookshelves, by default, notify you of a blog entry that was tagged with a story that's in them. And since you are here, it means that you have "Dreamwalker Dash" in one of your bookshelves. Which is good, cause it means I attracted the attention of someone who probably already forgot that "Dreamwalker Dash" exists during the long wait without updates.
While you are already here, how about a bit of light reading with the 300 word teaser for the next chapter that is up there?

^^ It's a pretty unique fic! I don't usually read about Rainbow Dash. Her cockiness bugs me a lot of the time.
