So, where the hell have I been? Three answers; 1. Writer’s block. 2. Dog sitting the last two weeks. And 3. Writing complications. Meaning what? Well, as you may have noticed, the story has been raising many questions about Celestia’s past and something else I won’t spoil yet. The issue is that I’ve written myself into a proverbial corner where I have to tread on coals not to make the well over a year long story feel deeeply unsatisfying. Most of the plot points involve immorality in some

Or more specifically, the plans for chapter releases. Yep, this is an important one. Due to a variety of factors, mostly pacing related, I've decided to essentially condense the story for lack of a better term. What does that mean? Less chapters but more actual content per chapter. 4-5k words at least but the climax chapter will probably have more for obvious reasons. Next chapter, not so much but the ones after until the climax? Definitely. Expect the chapter right after this one to be

And yes, that is indeed the next chapter's name. Another short post today as I have just two things to say. The first is that, compared to the last thirteen or so chapters, this one will have a slightly lighter tone. May seem weird given the blatant subject matter but this is kinda the calm before the storm and Act 3 is gonna be a heavy one. I don't write to pull heartstrings per sei, and when I do it's usually due to poor decision making like with maiming Scootaloo, but the next arc will

Hi, nice short one this time.

Just because I feel like it, I may as well lay out how the story's going to go. The next chapter and possibly the chapter after that is going to be downtime. Everything before that was set-up, this is the reaction now things have calmed down ever so slightly. As the the story's structure, it will have four Acts and an epilogue. Everything from "The Re-Emergence" to "When is an unfinished television series like a little puppy?" was Act 1, "Past Ties" up until the end of the Changeling

As many of you will have noticed, I've been rather radio silent between November and now. It went from at least one chapter every fortnight to one chapter after about three months of nothing. The reason mostly was due to writer's block and an abysmal chapter in late November writing me into a corner as well as the entire intent of the story changing. It was supposed to be a much different story which was basically a worse version of "The Benevolent Reign of Queen Rarity" but feedback helped me

Whilst writing "And In The Dawn of True Peace" but before conceiving "Rainbows of Fate", there was originally another story I had planned that was basically a MLP version of the Batman TAS episode "Perchance to Dream." Set after "School Daze" but before Season 9, it would have been an idealised world where the many threats to Equestria never emerged for one reason or another and things had always been in a similar utopic state to "The Last Problem" only with the likes of Chrysalis or Tirek

Random Trivia about the making of "Rainbow Of Fate" for anyone who cares. Think of it like a developer’s diary if you like because this is designed to give fun facts and explain why weird things about the story exist without needing Author's Notes. Cripplingly large spoilers beware although they are covered up so be aware of that as well.

Random Trivia about "And With The Dawn Of True Peace" for anyone who cares;

1. I discovered the original story by accident. As you can probably tell by this point, I'm a fan of stories involving Nightmare Moon being both a separate entity than Luna and being bonded with one of the main cast. I found the story whilst browsing similar stories and it always bothered me this had no follow-up so I continued it with the original author's blessings.
