Hey guys! Remember when I said that Ch 35 would be done in two weeks? Well I lied...

It's totally done NOW. Our editing team pulled together and busted ass to get this done. Not only that but the Ch 1 of the radio play is essentially done as well. Expect a joint submission to EQD on Monday. And now, as promised, is Ch 35 for your reading pleasure. Enjoy everybody! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sZbfb1J7ho4siR3PVy9Opnf1Jzwf5bJhVXhnrPUdn6w/edit

They are, aren't they Sereg? He he he.

Seraph, no worries. The chapter isn't going anywhere so take all the time you need. I do eagerly await your comments however.

Alright lets do this! And have to remember to keep them short, to the point, and not turn this into a full on liveblog.

And love the opening already. The whole tasting colors thing. And.. rainbow cupcakes... I see what you did there. Though.. I thought Fireburst was a guy? Or, Am I just totally not remembering right/thinking of the wrong pony?

Pinkie! Fourth edition? Really? You go with that... thing instead of one of the good ones?

And of course there's an issue. Now the question is, is it Red and Curacao that are responsible? Also, now that I think of it. The fight between the four should be interesting. Pinkie V Red without Red having her fear powers should just be pretty one sided. And Curacao really stands no chance against AJ on her own unless she can keep hidden. But AJ's earth armor would keep her from landing any good hits, so that will be interesting to see how they handle it.

"You're harvesting Spider Poop!" Yes they are, though, really gotta question how the spiders work. I mean, how do they get any nutrition out if they just pass the gems right through, and even increase their quality? What kind of nutrients do they get out of them? unless they consume a lot higher amount of lesser gems then they make high quality ones, and the poop is just the leftovers.

" She was even more curious how such a creature even lived in the first place; it seemed so strange." Hey and the story asks my own questions for me.

After being honest with herself, her power became more clear and better focused, go figure. Though.. yeah slight issue here but one I'll get to when I get back to the v2.0 liveblog, though.. huh did just have an idea about that issue that makes this work even better for me so.. yay!

Pinkie! Stop trying to break the fourth wall, this world is already unstable enough as is without you risking bringing in The Things From The Dungeon Dimension.

Did they REALLY think they could get out without facing the spider? Though time to find out what's going on. wait.. blood? it's roaring Blood? So, injured somehow? And, huh okay, would be nice to get SOME idea of just what size this thing is, other then "Massive" doesn't really tell much. nothing comparing it's size to the ponies, or any size hints at all?

And that would be Curacao beating Fireburst up. Which means Red is likely using the Spider somehow. Though, how the hell did they know to be here? And get here ahead of the others?

Well, it's not really invisible, more chameleon but close enough. but yes AJ, blurt outloud your plan so she can hear it and know exactly what you can do.

Suddenly, I am very VERY suspicious of Fireburst. can't do magic, AJ can't sense anyone else around, probing her to learn the limits of her power. But how would Curacao have learned all Firebusrt knows about the city and mines?

AAAAND yup.. damnit, saw that coming just before it happened. Well time to hope Curacao wants to gloat a bit first. but also CALLED IT!

"was dismayed at how creature moved " Y'all editors suck ya missed one! tongue

And yup, Red is playing meat puppet with the spider. And, why'd she give up the puppet? Would have given her an edge over pinkie.

Heh and even Red is knows what to expect from Pinkie now. Actually asking for the kickass music to accompany the beatdown.

Yeah, okay this is a more fair fight then I thought. Since red's blades are quite serious, and Pinkie can't really hurt Red at all.

Okay, time for some DBZ action, the timing for that is just hilarious given the finale.

Wait Red admitting that there are limits to what she can heal from? And why was it those guns were so powerful and able to hurt her like that? And also, go ahead, tell Pinkie exactly what your limits are.

And pinkie gets it, and manages to find a way to really piss off Red in the process, yeah really going to be interesting seeing this play out. Even if it is insanely creepy now.. even by Red's standards.

Okay.. what the hell is Curacao's game here? And why the fuck would ANYPONY trust her? And, is it bad even I'm not sure? I mean, it IS somehow possible. She is the smart one, the one that would likely see how bad shit could go. She could have easily killed AJ, but this could all just be part of some even larger scheme of hers.... but damn, really good job making even the reader doubtful on if she's outright lying or not.

"zat evil magic resists even zee concept of good?" And.. suddenly trusting her a little more. Just cause, how would she know that? And it fits with what the rest have undergone so far. Okay.. AJ.. maybe now is a good time to talk instead..... Though what was Curacao thinking the whole time she watched AJ getting closer and closer to the wall?

" She knew in her heart that Velvet’s words were true, but she was not about to let that worry give Velvet an opening again." Hell yeah Pinkie!

Okay, more and more Kaio-ken is great, but... If she goes Super-Saiyan-Pony, this will officially be the greatest chapter EVER!

"Velvet snapped up and thrust a single blood spike straight into Pinkie’s chest. “Game over!”" surprised WHAT!!!!

Wait wait... is pinkie... Is she doing what I think she's doing? Is she switching from epic, powerful, over the top fighting. To using freaking LOONEY TUNES tactics against Red? that.. that is... That is freaking BRILLIANT!And really the only way she COULD win and and...

WHAT THE FUCKING HELL JUST HAPPENED! okay.. left over remnant of Nihlia? Something else? Seriously WHAT!?!?!?!

Okay, Curacao, seems somewhat legit, though betting there's thing she hasn't fully realized yet.

Yup, vestige of Nihlia. Commence egomaniacal gloating and spilling all the details.

Okay.. Pinkie... please tell me you have Super-Saiyan saved up. Cause.. HOLY SHIT!

" “Shoot, I knew I should have charged it for another three chapters. Episodes. Or whatever.”" BUWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!

Or.. damgit, really wanted her to do that.. but, this works too. Try to reach Red through Nihila's control.

"Pinkie tapped on Nihila’s shoulder, and chomped loudly on a carrot right in her ear. “Ehh, what’s up, doc?”" C-Can't breathe so.. so.. THIS CHAPTER IS FUCKING AWESOME!

Okay.. seriously what is going on!? I mean.. Starlight didn't go berserk on pinkie? This all is starting to make sense but, just DAMN!

AJ's family... that... that is.. no.. no.. just NO! I get what you are going for, I does work more or less for the story itself, but no WAY does this fit with Equestria. No, just NO!

So Curacao is the only pony not to learn a lesson. granted she was the least evil, and already close, so makes it harder but, that is just.. so many implications...

okay the black vomit.. what the hell is up with that?

And now all of them realize the issue and... this.. this cannot be good... at all... that.. that ending.. WHAT!!!

Okay, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Don't make us wait another year for the next chapter!!!!!!

Overall DAMN THAT WAS AMAZING! That.. I freaking LOVED it.. well other then that bit about AJ's family.. yeah that... oh fuck NO!

But aside from that, just so much, so many great things.... and now, want to get back to the liveblog.. though committed to doing Hooves of Fate also.. well can alternate or something.. also the issue of coming up to where the edits end before getting into the chapter that don't need edits....

But just DAMN that chapter was amazing!

One thing I can say about the chapter - it was worth the wait. I loved the world-building, the thing with spiders "making" gems, Curie's schemes, Pinkie's cartoonish fight... and that wonderful, wonderful plot-twist with Clottles. I did not expect that one coming. The finale is near, can't wait to see what the conclusion will look like.

#1557: May 12th 2014 at 10:06:18 AM

[up] Well think the wait was a little to extreme to REALLY be worth it, but it was close. Yeah, after last chapter, so glad this one was so damn good. Yeah last chapter.. did not like. At all. one of two chapters I just, really really disliked, and not sure which one more. That, or the "lets spend a chapter reading about ponies getting drunk and extolling the virtues of being drunken idiots" one.

Yeah, the plot twist with Clottles was insane! Really impressed by that one.

Yeeeeessssssss... your comments give me strength. I'm exceedingly glad that you all like it so far. Seraph I'd argue with you as to how well that little detail may or may not fit into canon, but I won't quibble.

Indeed though, the finale is no less than three chapters away. Chapter 38 will be the last and final chapter. If I have anything to say about it we won't make you wait an entire year for the next chapter either much less the conclusion. Sprits are running high and Ganon came into some extra free time recently so that should speed things along enormously.

Now just to wait for Ch 1 of the audio play which should be done some time this evening.

#1560: May 12th 2014 at 1:05:27 PM

Wow, so soon, thought the plan was for like 40 something chapters. Or just condensing the ending? hopefully doesn't cause it to feel rushed.

And what about the edits to the earlier chapters? Still going through with those? Really cant wait to see if you manage to make me loathe Briarthorn a bit less.

Secondly... any plans to upload the fic to FIM Fiction?

The original plan was for 40 chapters yes. If I remember correctly we decided to combine two chapters into one because we figured each would be fairly short on their own. Nothing has really been cut out and we've had the ending planned for a long long time. No worries about that.

Yes, we are still planning on finishing up the back edits.

As far as fimfic is concerned we plan to throw it up there once we complete the story.

Just touching base to report that Ch 1 will be slightly delayed. Our head audio editor got hit by some massive storms and lost power as a result. Still, expect it in the next day or so.

Well, long as you don't get hit by the pony-in-a-box issue of having a computer crash, and completely deleting the ONLY set of files you have for the next up date when 98% done.

Yeah, never save something that big to only a single hard drive. They learned their lesson.

YAY! Alright...

Wow, once again REALLY love the voice change over at the start. Nicely done.

Hmmmm, AJ sounds a bit... forced. The accent feeling overly faked.. not sure how to really describe it, just a bit too thick i guess. not bad, just a tad off.

Rest, sound good just.. odd. As in, not sounding like they do in the show so bit hard to adjust to. But pretty good, especially Twi and Pinkie. Pinkie, not so much the voice, but the delivery is freaking perfect, getting the right speed to rush and sound hyper, while still being able to be understood.

Fluttershy tended to shift from regular volume to soft a bit at random to me, though loved the softer bits of her talking.

Hmmm, Little low on sound effects, not a bad thing, but the one place it really felt like something was missing from them not being there was when Twi was casting her spell. just felt odd not hearing the tingling sound of her magic.

Wait ending it there... AH chapter 1, episode 1.

But yeah, DAMN good overall. Loved the Twilight and Pinkie VA's, Rest were good too, though again AJ's accent sounded a bit to forced and faked. Maybe to thick. Narration was good Liked the first one a tad better then the second, no real reason just, sounded better to me, though both were great. So yeah glad this is rolling along, and hopefully now that it's going you all can put up episodes faster and faster.

All the VA's were decent, though order I looked them best Twi>Pinkie>RD>Fluttershy>Rarity>AJ Can't wait to hear the EQV ponies, so won't have the oddity of trying to not compare them to the canon voices.

Ayup. The first narrator was myself believe it or not, followed by Wuten and then good old Caitbug. Later episodes will also feature Scribbler as a narrator as well.

YAY! You all sounded awesome. Is there a pattern to who narrates what types of scenes? Or just swap out at random?

#1573: May 13th 2014 at 8:38:52 PM

Well, there was an order, but sometimes it's at random or for convenience sake, like I wouldnt need to narrate the parts that have Blackburn speaking for the majority of that scene because my narrator voice and Blackburn are similar. The order could be changing in order to balance the voices for particular scenes.

Very mice!

I do agree that AJ's accent isn't quite that strong in the show, but eh, that's nitpicking.
