Quote: "Thought this was maybe my favourite chapter yet, with your every-increasing attention to detail. Well done, hope you keep on improving."

Glad you like, and I too hope I keep improving. (Though given the next chapter will be my fourth straight - internal timeline-wise, at least - of vivisection, I'm having a little difficulty keeping it different enough from its predecessors, while still having an accurate description of how things go.)

Quote: "And that was an interesting breakdown of your likes and dislikes-they largely mirror mine."

Really? Wow. Glad I'm not the only one.

Quote: "Have you read JestInPieces stuff? He's pretty much the benchmark for detailed, non-fatal, non-painful guro."

Can't say I have off the top of my head, but I'll take a look at it. (I know he has a few things on the front page now.)

Quote: "I think your workrate and planning is insanely high, blown away by your ability to produce content as such a rate."

Outlines and planning are my specialty, but sometimes I get so caught up in them that I can't quite convert the idea into actual prose. I've been doing some actual, non-guro writing this past year under a different handle though, and that's helped.

As for this fic, I'm currently working on two separate chapters, and I have a third I need to fit in between them (just to do something different - still guro, but not outright vivisection), so hopefully I'll have the first of those up soon. It all depends on how the inspiration flows. Then there are six more planned stories (and maybe a couple more in between if I think of something), before we get back to the "Ten years later" era and Derpy's part in the story. I'm half-tempted to make the entire series (including the Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom chapters that preceded mine) 26 chapters long, just as most seasons of MLP itself were 26 episodes long, before wrapping it up and moving on to my Sunset vore story. But we shall see.

Off to write, and hopefully expand what I've got with Aria and Adagio's time in the lab...
