Uuuuuuuh
I haven't had as much time to write recently and what time I did have I squandered. Rampant's coming late, sorry, but it's still coming!
Always on an ego trip, but feeling like I should have saved what I already typed before.
First completely new chapters in years, goddamn. I'm looking forward to this arc. Might seem like it's veering off the story a bit right now, but don't you worry, all of it comes back around by the end. That said, it took me a little while choosing the right name for this chapter. These are the alternate names I considered:
- Butt, Butt—
- We're Not There Yet, Shut Up
- What's Up, Dog?
Chapter seven will be up one week from now, and that'll be the true ending of the Ponyville arc. It and chapter six have actually been finished for a couple weeks now, thank you very much, but I've been racking my brain in making sure that the finale is just right. A few more touch-ups on seven, then, and Ponyville is all over again. Thanks for keeping up—hope you enjoy.
New chapter five is live, significantly off schedule because I was unsatisfied with it for a while. The next chapter I said would be the last of Ponyville might turn out to be two chapters instead, as it turns out all those characters that sprang up in this new version need a little screen time to wrap up for now. I consider myself still on track, though, while getting used to how to add a lot of editing to a normal writing schedule. Thanks for reading.
Four new chapters of Rampant are now up, except they're not quite new. I did a rewrite, goddammit. Despite how much it seems I worked to make the story not move forward, it has definitely moved forward, for real. I didn't just pretty up the grammar and scene detail, I restructured everything that's happened in Ponyville. Every scene has changed for the greater good.
Just a little update, if it counts as such. First, I put Transponyism on hiatus. I was trying to alternate between writing that and Rampant, but I learned something that may be obvious to other people, though at the time I thought it was different and clever--switching focus between two (arguably) complex stories is kind of tough, actually. I can't do that. Instead, Transponyism is on hold. That means all I'm writing is Rampant! Sweet! So, where is it, man? Have I really been writing one new
While I am disheartened, at least, at the thought of simply not writing more Rampant when I've kept people waiting on it so long, I am working on yet another new story before getting to the next chapter of Rampant. This isn't really an attempt to hype anyone; just letting my audience know that I'm still writing, just not quite what they want yet.
I'm about halfway through another story right now while I vaguely work on Rampant. It's a sad little story with a horror-romance thing going on, only three chapter long. Did you like Abyss? You'll love this; it's way better. This is my attempt at hyping you. Get hyped.
Beginning right now, there's one more week 'til chapter one. Start the countdown! No but seriously, don't start the countdown. It'll be a week or so until you can read it. Hope you enjoy it.
