News, both good and bad. · 3:48pm Oct 27th, 2013
Okay guys, getting the bad news out of the way first. Unfortunately I cannot continue working on the Noir Radio Play. I simply have too much school work to handle. If somebody else is willing to take up the torch, please PM me as soon as possible. I'll step back and be a consultant for the project, but that's about it.
Also, Skullman is taking a break from art work and currently Eliyora is taking over. She's the one behind the great artwork for Mirror Mirror. She'll be taking over for a while as lead artist. The next side story is written, I'm just waiting on her to finish the Cover. I won't put my entire work on hold just to wait on her. So, when I get the covers, you'll get your story.
As for the next arc, this is dubbed the "Northern Equestria Arc" This arc takes place in and around the northern area where the Crystal Empire is. So, expect some winter wonderland fun. The cases are, as follows.
Case 7: Song of Ran'sea.
Spike is reunited with his long lost sister Ran'sea. The elegant dragon brings her brother, Twilight, Private and Rarity to her home among the dragon clans. While there, Spike meets his extended family, deals with the fact he was raised by ponies, and now faces a dragon right of passage. This ceremony will allow Spike's body to grow naturally, without being consumed by greed. During the ceremony however, Spike is nearly killed thanks to an assassination attempt. Private must find out who is responsible for the attack, but can a pony earn the respect of dragons?
Case 8: Hammer of Thunder
Voidera sends Private to the Cloud Kingdom to learn under the mighty King Thor. Upon arrival, Private quickly learns that all is not well in the kingdom. A dispute has occured over who Thor should choose as his heir. When the two canidates are found to have killed each other, Private investigates. It's quickly revealed that a large conspiracy is being made against the mighty Lord of Thunder. When an old enemy of Thor's returns, Private will need to find the strength inside him, without his allies to protect him.
Case 9: Shread or Dead
Avalanche Valley is one of the biggest ski resorts in Equestria. Tended to by the wealthy Ice Family, Private is called by Queenie to aid. Turns out, a thief has stolen the deed of Avalanche Valley and in the wrong hands, it could ruin the Ice Family forever. Teaming up with snowboard star Diamond Dust, Private needs to work fast to save the Ice Family, before an evil force gets their hands on the valuable land. (A crossover with the Sour Grapes Chronicles)
Case 10: The Princess and I
The Royal Princess Summit is finally here. All the world's royalty gathers to see Twilight Sparkle be recognized as a true Princess. Private hopes to make sure everything goes right during the ceremony. But all is not well. A princess has gone missing during the opening ceremony, the mother claims that Twilight is responsible for what happened. Can Private and friends prove Twilight innocent? Or will Twilight have to put down her crown prematurely.
This is the official second arc of Equestria Noir. As for the rest of the cases, I'm waiting until Season 4 comes out to make anything official with them. But, here are the vast majority of the ideas.
"On a Cross and Bullet": A mysterious killer has been targeting husbands who abuse their wives. Seen as a town hero by some and a horrible criminal by others, the Black Widow has caused a lot of stir in Ponyville. While investigating Private and Twilight get into an arguement over the situation. To solve this, Cadence casts a spell on the pair of them that suddenly transforms them into Dusk Shine and Pruena Eye. While learning how the other gender lives the pair have to get used to their new bodies before the Black Widow claims her next victim.
"9,10,11" A mysterious creature is on the prowl in Hoofington. Disappearing in the night and leaving behind strange messages on the buildings it's a typical day for the Doctor. Private decides to tag along to investigate a disappearance of his Uncle Slant. While there, Private discovers that the creature is not of this world, and it's on the hunt for the Doctor. Private fails to save the Doctor before the beast catches him, soon Private finds himself in the Tardis, and the doctor is missing. In his place, are three doctors.
"Big Top Fall" When an accident takes the life of acrobat Spindle Wire, Private is once again called to investigate. But when he arrives at the circus, he's met by Trixie. Turns out, this circus holds a lot of personal memories for her. The pair arrive and find that the circus is a lot darker than the bright lights would have you believe. Especially when Trixie vanishes mysteriously and a note is found: "If you want her to live, Kill the Ringmaster"
"Haunted" Private arrives in small town Hoofington when a prominent member of the town is found in his room strangled to death. What starts out as an open and shut case quickly turns towards the surreal. A little filly that everypony calls a witch has been folllowing Private since he arrived. It's only made more strange when objects begin moving around Private without the use of magic. Something knows more about the case, and wants to tell Private...but it isn't anything he can see...
All my yes. Although the old foe of thor's could be anypony *cough* Loki *cough*
yes, YES, YES!!!
MOAR TRIXIE!!!
9,10,11. No Question. At ALL. FINAL DECISION!
Wow...some of these cases seem very intense and personal. Hey, I got a question, what is your endgame plan for Adamus? I mean, he is a fugitive as of Season 1 Case 25, but what do you have plan for him? (I put a bit of a scene in the pm I sent to you).
I'm especially excited for the 'Black Widow' case, for whatever reason.
But I fully support every case here, and I'm really anticipating great things from the new arc(s)! 
P.S. Its too bad about the Radio-cast thing, but I can understand why school might be too much to add. Plz keep it up!
I still would like to see at least one
Ja-mane-can pony. :p
