Memories of 2012, plans for 2013 · 12:51am Jan 4th, 2013

Hello everypony!

I hope every last one of you had some wonderful holidays, with many warm and fuzzy moments.

With the beginning of a new year I have now officially been a brony for a year. It really seems just like yesterday when my (former) girlfriend made me watch "Return of Harmony" and got me hooked. I still can remember watching season 1 on Christmas' eve while mom was cooking dinner. "Over a barrel" was one of them, I think. Seems just like yesterday when I was trying to come up with an interesting idea for my own "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" fanfic (many ideas came and went, I can tell you). A whole year has passed since then and I can only ask myself where it went. It really seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. It's weird. Usually a year feels like, well, a year, but 2012 for me really seemed to have gone by just like that. For me, personally, it was a very quiet life with little to nothing happening in it. I don't mind that in the slightest, I like peace and quiet. It's just odd because I haven't had a year like that in a long while, is what I'm saying. But it wasn't a bad year by any means and it had a lot of great pony moments (some awful ones, too, but I don't think I should talk about that now).

So, with that said, what does the new year have in store? More pony, obviously. I really don't think I'm going anywhere soon. I'm on my own again, no friends or girlfriend to distract me with new fandoms. So I might be sticking around in "My Little Pony" for a while, at least, which is good. Stability and all that, you know? As for concrete future plans concerning my stories, well, I don't have any big shockers regarding that.

I will continue working on "Wings of Tomorrow ~ Lament of the World" as I have during the latter half of 2012. I just got back chapter 5 from my editor today and I've uploaded it for all of your viewing pleasure. I've also been working on the next chapter, which will be the first of a couple of character-focussed chapters meant to develop said characters. A final breather before all hell breaks loose, if you will. First up will be Twilight's chapter and I have 1507 words of that written so far. I don't intend for these chapters to be as long as the previous ones have been, so hopefully that means I'll be able to finish them quicker than the last few chapters, which obviously means quicker and more frequent updates.

As for that other, much less known story called "Equestrian Mythology - Tale of the Scions" that some of you might be wondering about, well, it's obviously on hold and has been pretty much since I started "Wings of Tomorrow ~ Lament of the World". I hesitate to call it "cancelled", however. Though I don't think I will ever finish it in its current form, I'm not really abandoning it either. The ideas and mythology I've brought up in it have, in a way, been absorbed in "Wings of Tomorrow ~ Lament of the World", but in a different shape. My views on the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe have changed over the course of season 2 and 3, to the point where the original idea I had when developing this collection of mythology tales no longer fits, at least not in its current shape.

They haven't been abandoned though, as I mentioned before. The ideas and mythology I had in mind will be adjusted and molded to my current view of the MLP universe, and they'll be brought up and explored in "Wings of Tomorrow ~ Lament of the World" (and possible future stories in the same universe). So if you like Equestrian mythology stuff, I'd advise to keep an eye on "Wings of Tomorrow ~ Lament of the World". Though it's still not at the point where this mythology will take central stage, already the hints are dropping through and the curtain is slowly being raised. I'm hoping for all big revelations will be done before 2013 is over, but we'll see how that goes.

I don't have much else to add to that, so all that's left is to wish you all a happy new year and an awesome 2013 filled with pony.

Cheers!

Not that I mind in the slightest, mind you, but I'm curious as to why you're always following my blog, since I don't see you following either of my stories (that I notice, anyway). Again, I don't mind, it's a free internet and you can do as you please, I merely find it curious. Nice, but curious. Thanks for the moustache, btw.
