And A Merry Hearth's Warming Eve (And Vision Progress!) · 4:54pm Dec 23rd, 2013
It's this time of the year that we all gather together to bask in the spirit of love and friendship, because if we don't, we'll be entombed in ice forever by cruel wind spirits. So hug your parents tight, kids! Your lives depend on it.
This reaction image also works for pre-readers looking at Book 2.
Book 2 now has an artist! The most glorious and righteous PeasentB has agreed to do the cover art for Daring Do, and with any luck, we'll be seeing his wonderful and disturbing illustrations throughout the rest of Vision. He'll be starting work in January, which will finally turn those pretty green "Reviewed" chapters into shiny blue "Ready" chapters.
In the meanwhile, the holiday season has given me some time to write as well! And just so I'm not leaving you totally empty handed, behold! The Vision Progress Meter, now with chapter names. Chapter Six has been drafted, and that puts Book 2 at just a hair over 60,000 words so far.

This is probably my most highly anticipated story right now. Can't wait to see it come together.
Sounds like those pre-readers are having a good time!
I'm ready for this like I was ready for Season 4.
Oh, and I see this guy has drawn some *very* big daddies!

Thank you! I considered calling this post "Not dead, just ponies" because I know it's been awhile. Progress is now being made!

OH NO SEA MONSTEEER.
You didn't have to get us a gift already, but thank you very much for doing so.
Hope to see an update from you soon! I just got back into FiM fanfiction a few days ago after mostly leaving the fandom (still haven't seen any of the new season outside of the opener), and when I did the first thing I did was reread Siren Song (also went and read an Arbitrage of Moments).

Wow, thank you! And don't worry, you will. Vision is being prepped for release now. Editors willing, it should only be another 4-5 weeks.
