Sharing the Nation Chapter s 33 & 34 up on FimFiction.net
Merry Christmas everyone!Chapter 33Chapter 34I'm... relatively happy with these chapters, though there's a lot of Star Glister rushing through things, which isn't ideal. That's one of the reasons I've been putting it off, really, but I don't think there's a way to fix it without actually go...
SSCHS Chapter 9 is up on FimFiction
You can now go read Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 9on FimFiction.net. I decided to kick this one out ASAP since part of it has been sitting around for over a month and I know that some people don't like reading things on GoogleDocs (though there are always the export options, in that case. I rea...
Sunset Shimmer, Crumple Horned Snorkack: Chapter 9 (Part 2)
And now there's more of it. You might notice that I never posted last month's Chapter to FimFiction; well, that's because I spent most of the month trying to figure out the pacing issues I was having with it.So, did I manage to fix it?Not at all!So, Harry and Ginny's Summer Adventure is now a single, m...
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 9
Happy Halloween, everyone! I swear the direction this chapter went wasn't planned to fit the holiday—not intentionally, at least. Actually, it wasn't planned at all. I've been using the last few chapters to really get more into planning things out, which at the very least helps me be more productive (1...
SSCHS Chapter 8 is up on FimFiction.net
SSCHS Chapter 8has been posted on FimFiction.net. I didn't end up cutting any of it, but there werea larger than usual number of errors to fix.
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack, Chapter 8
Whuff. 13,000 words. I feel like I should maybe cut that down since there is a lot of talking going on, but I dunno; that's kinda what my fics are, mostly. As it is, I addressed everything I think needed addressing, skipped almost anything that could be considered a recap, and got some fun scenes and some weird sce...
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 7 is on FimFiction now
If you haven't read it yet, you can read SSCHS Chapter 7over on FimFiction.netnow
Sunset Shimmer, Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 7
Whelp; I eventually had to pick a fate for Ginny, and now it's done! 11.5k words, too. I think, given how things have been going, that the next one will be SSCHS again. Not only is this one a bit of a cliffhanger, but I'm really feeling the need to go back over Sharing the Nation, fix a few things and re-re-...
Sharing the Nation chapters 31 & 32
Now, this one was a headache—literally. It was fighting me all the way, and I haven't been feeling well for the past few days. As a result, it's only 9,630 words this time, and I'm not entirely happy with the scene of Corona and Ember talking, so that might change a little bit before I post it to fimficti...
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack — Chapter 6 is now on FimFiction.net
I meant to post this last Friday. Oops?
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 6 & Deleted Scene
Ginny kind of saved this one, breaking up the usual Diagon Alley shopping trip with her exposition and shenaniganry. I'm not gonna lie; my original plan was not great for her, but I did say I wouldn't be engaging in bashing and the usual treatment she gets is perilously close, so I guess I can only do somethin...
Sharing the Nation: Chapters 29 & 30
There we go! This one really fought me at first, but the two external POVs just fell out of my head fully formed, which will explain why Lightning Dust's section is maybe a bit longer than it really needed to be, not actually being all that important. As for the other one... well, the need for it will be obvious,...
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 5 is now on FimFiction
That's it. That's the post. Back to planning out Sharing the Nation, now...
Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorkack Chapter 5
And here we go, another SSCHS chapter. A couple of hundred words short, again, but since the last one didn't get charged for I guess I'm banked up on enough words now that I don't have to worry about that too much for the time being.Anyway, we've now introduced the Grangers, who could probably sound a ...
A few things (Last month's chapter, Ko-Fi, etc)
So, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but last month's chapter wasn't charged for, which I'm told was my fault and something they were unable to fix. I've hemmed and hawed over what to do about this, and it's been a stressful month in general, so I've put off addressing it, partially because ...
Sunset Shimmer, Crumple-Horned Snorkack: Chapter 4
I feel like, if this story were ever properly edited after completion, that this chapter would probably be compressed quite a bit. Then again, for all the writing I've done, I've never been all that good at judging the proper amount of downtime between serious things, and I can't point at any one point and...
Sharing the Nation: Chapters 27 & 28 are up on FimFiction.net
See? I didn't wait an entire month, this time!...That should not be an achievement...
Sharing the Nation Chapters 27 & 28
Oh, hey, look: Things are actually happening.This one started out as a slog I was kind of forcing out until things picked up, so let me know if anything looks too out of place. As it is, it's a little short, but it is February, and it all balances out in the end. In reality, though, that just seemed like the right ...
Sharing the Nation: Chapter 26 posted on FimFiction
As I said in my SSCHS post—I kind of... forgot to post this last month? Oops? Well, it's there now!
Sunset-Shimmer, Crumple-Horned Snorkack: Chapter 3 Prerelease
You know, one of the reasons I wanted to write a Harry Potter crossover was to practice writing things happening over a large period of time rather than account for every single moment of every day.That is not what happened.Still, I did manage to get to a better place by the end of the chapter and things should be goin...
Sharing the Nation: Chapters 25 & 26
Chapter 25, of course, posted on FimFiction on Christmas, and here's Chapter 26. For some reason, it's not previewing on my end here on Patreon, but I double-checked the link on another browser, so it should work. Let me know if it doesn't.This one is more of the same from Chapter 25; I'd say these two ...
Sharing the Nation: Chapter 25 and Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-Horned Snorcack now on FimFiction
The title says it all. Only 5k of new material for now, but I'm still hoping to get another 5k out before the new year.Also, SS:CHS is on FimFiction now, for all of those who hate reading things on Google Docs (Everyone does know that Google Docs has a bunch of export options, including .epub, right?)That's it ...
More Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-horned Snorkack
What even is this? Not much of a NaNoWriMo, is it? I wasn't honestly planning on writing more of this, but it's what came out, and I have no idea what I'm even doing with it. Things always seem less traumatizing when I write them in an outline, but hey, sure enough, this is what my brain came up with for &#...
Chapters Posted & Tier Changes
Sharing the Nation Chapters 23 & 24 have finally been posted to Fimfiction.netMy apologies to those who prefer Fimfiction.net for reading. I delayed so that I could decide what to do about the tier changes I mentioned in my last post.Speaking of which: I've gone ahead and changed the tiers around to give everyone a...
Sharing the Nation 23 & 24
Hey, look, suddenly an update for one of my actual stories!Somehow that happened without me posting any previews...I think what I'm going to do is just open up previews for everyone when they happen with the caveat that that won't be all the time. I know most of my high-dollar patrons don't really care abou...
Interest Poll (Sunset Shimmer: Crumple-horned Snorkack)
Should this be a thing, or should I just move on?
I wrote something, at least (.epub inside)
Short Description: No longer Princess Celestia's student, Sunset Shimmer finds herself as a pony in the Harry Potter world seeking her ascension. She gets Luna Lovegood instead.Author's NotesTwo and a half years of burnout. Yeesh. I've been trying to write absolutely anything to get back in the habit, hence...
Equal Opportunity Ascension 21-23
Ugh. This month. I almost don't even feel guilty for the bare minimum wordcount. Between helping renovate a house for my parents and getting sick, it's been completely miserable. Every time I get into the daily writing habit, something comes along to break it. Here's hoping the tail end of 2020 lightens up ...
