No, You're not Hallucinating

Yes, I've changed the title of my current story a bit. While doing (yet another) editing pass, I realized that my impulse to avoid a bit of a clumsy word-choice was just flat-out wrong, so I've made a little mid-course correction. My deepest apologies to anyone having to say this new, more sibilant title out loud.

I'll leave it up to you whether it's a good thing or a bad thing that I already forgot what the word that came after "Cadenza" was and only reverse-engineered it in my head from the particular phrasing of this blog.

And smart move, bud – take it from me, if something is better off with a name change, do it as soon as possible! Only ten days into publication, you can't get much sooner than that.

Ah, there's more than one. Neat!

Believe me, you won't be able to forget that word after you've read the whole thing!

I got lucky by realizing my error now. If I hadn't had Dan Brown's potboiler in the back of my mind at the time, I would have more properly titled the first in this series The Celestia Cipher. It would be (of course) completely insane to change that title now.

"Neat!"

Your opinion and Twilight's diverge quite a bit on this matter!

> can’t retcon print editions
> keeps mention of the Chrysalis Crisis in Chapter 2, so maybe inspiration to write a new book 4.5 will strike next year

But seriously, it’s nice to have you and this universe back!

"> can’t retcon print editions"

That just makes them more valuable. Check the Sotheby's listing for the price of a first edition of The Celestia Code, if you don't believe me!

Oh, and thanks for mentioning that other footnote! I need to go change it to The Chrysalis Debacle. (Or maybe "Fiasco"? Dunno, might change my mind later.)

It's good to be back.
