Alright ALMOST done with the next chapter, one scee to go but, so tired... that's a lot of writing. and the chapter just keep getting bigger. I think I might just start deciding the chapter in half and posting that way, get them out fast, and I don't feel so burned out.

I know that the last Chapter I saw any edits to was Chapter 23. Nothing's changed to 24 that I can see.

Speaking of new chapters, I'm happy to say that the final draft for Ch 35 is finally done! Let the editing commence! First order of business is ironing out the major plot points. I've gotten through a good third of the chapter already and I hope to be done with my first pass somewhere between late Friday and early Saturday. Once that's finished we'll go over it one last time to polish up the writing itself.

It's going to take some tine to hammer this one into shape, it is a nice meaty chapter after all, but it's coming blast it.

Slight correction, I meant to say rough draft, not final draft. Hence all my talk about editing and such. Sorry about that, heh heh. Anyway It's going to take us at least a week to edit this thing to perfection, possibly more depending on how quickly everyone can make their comments, and how much time it takes for the edits themselves to be made.

Really looking forward to the next set of chapters. 15-21 are some of the best in the story

Reading over your live blog it seems your biggest point of contention with the chapter is with the Rarity/Fluttershy dynamic from Rarity’s side of things. To a certain extent I agree with you. Objectively I can’t say that Fluttershy isn’t Rarity’s closest friend among the Mane Six. I will say however that the context in which she says the line that you point out may not be the best. On one hand Rarity wouldn’t be one to state such a thing like that straight out amongst other ponies. Unless Rarity is put under stress or pressure she parses her words rather well. On the other hand Rarity would also be one to leverage her friendship with Fluttershy against Lockwood to shoo him away. It’s a bit of a wash for me really.

Fun fact, in the very original draft of that chapter Fluttershy was reciprocating that very same sentiment about Rarity and how she was her closest friend. While I find it kind of works in Rarity’s case, I made no bones about it not working for Fluttershy. The whole ‘Fluttershy wakes up’ scene was rife with it.

Now as far as the scene where Rarity barges in on Shy and Lockwood naked: Was it mean of her? Yes. Was it out of character? No. To an extent, her behavior makes me a bit angry as well, but that’s just the nature of the double standard at play here. Still I found the scene pretty dang funny myself so there is some offset there.

Your point about the gargantuans I completely agree with. That little detail still doesn’t really make any sense to me either but so it goes. It’s really a minor detail in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, the show and everything does point to Rarity being closer to Fluttershy then the others, and also being the one who tends to understand and know how best to deal with her as well. So yeah that wasn't an issue, just, her saying it like that, it just pushed it a TAD further then felt right. Took it a bit to far. Much like her shipping, though replace 'tad' with, something more like a mole to far (6.02x10^23). Really that chapter, seeing Fluttershy and Lockwood interact together on their own, I might have liked to see something go on with them, even knowing what I do about him. See it develop on it's own. It's just, Rarity pushing it so damn hard that makes it annoying.

The naked scene just,, I can see how it could be funny but again makes her a tad to aggressive, went to far with her yelling at and blaming Lockwood for what she did. Just freak out a bit and shove him out the door, fine. Call him a pervert and blame him for it, to far.

The gargantuan stuff, yeah, minor little "WTF!?" funny to pick at but, doesn't really matter to to much.

And sorry for taking so long keep meaning to get back but, went and got sucked into Days of Wasp and Spider, and giving little mini liveblogs for that in the comments section. Holy fuck is that good.

Hey guys, guess what's coming up? No it's not the new chapter, but it's something just as good. Here, take a listen.

Holy shit that' LIVES!!!!

And sorry about not getting to the liveblog just, well between Days of Wasp And Spider, a bunch of other stuff, RL, and just well, honestly, getting closer to the spot where new stuff stops and, just the normal fear of an incomplete fic I'm into into, never getting complete.

But, looking forward to the full audio! Can't wait.

No worries. Take your time on it. Those chapters will still be there when you get back. But yes, the audiobook project is alive and well. I may have been silent for a bit but much work was still going on in the background.Five chapter's worth of lines have already been collected and as you can see the audio track for Ch is being compiled and edited as we speak. Like Ch 35 I have no concrete timetable for you but you can expect it relatively soon, before the new chapter comes out at any rate.

Nice effect with the voice switching.

The voice-crossing effect is a little too long in my opinion, but the voices themselves are damn perfect. Can't wait for the audioplay and the new chapter!

Would if I could Atom. Would if I could. grin

Just wanted to stop by and let you guys know that the editing team is making it's final pass at Ch 35. I don't have a concrete date for you all but you can ballpark it at around two weeks tops. Ganon wants our final comments done by the end of the week. Schedule in a few extra days to address everything and we'll be go for launch. Sorry to make you all wait, but we're almost there.

YAY! Realy need to get back to the liveblog just, you know, not seeing any updates kind of.. off putting. Plus got into doing one for Hooves of Fate.. which is AMAZING!

TheLivingCouch Since: Feb, 2013
#1546: May 6th 2014 at 5:44:49 PM

It's understandable Seraph. We've been making steady progress, but there hasn't been anything much concrete that I could have updated you all on. Basic editing progress, rehashing of certain scenes, making everything consistent, and coming to agreements on how we'd like to see certain things play out. Discussion, planning, execution. All that good stuff.

Better though that I come to you all with a semi concrete timeline than incremental reports on our editing.

Well guys I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is that the release of Ch 35 is going to be delayed just a bit. Chapter 1 of the audio play is nearing completion so we're going to hold off a bit so we can release everything all at once.

Which leads me to the good news. Just because we're delaying the release, it doesn't mean you guys won't get to read it once it's finished. Ch 35 is awaiting some final comments from myself and a good run through by out proofreaders. Once all our Is are dotted and our Ts are crossed we plan to give you all a sneak peek at the chapter before anyone else, because we love you guys. Stay tuned everybody!cool

Oh yeah. On one hand, I can't wait for the chapter to be finally released and to dig in both to it and the translation, on the other... when that happens, the waiting for chapter 36 will beginsad
