Merry Christmas everyone.
I hope the season brings you all good cheer and happy memories.
A Quick update from me on the status of Timekeeper: Chapter 6 is up for final approvals and, pending the big rubber stamp, it'll be out very soon. A few weeks back I got the idea of making this a 'Christmas Special', a completly unique idea not filtched from anywhere related to Time Turner.
Special means long. In fact It's the longest chapter yet, and covers what some commenters have taken to calling: 'The Time War'. It also features Cuteness, Drama, Spike, and a new pony. Of course since those that hold the privy seal for approving said chapter are only sparsely during the holiday period, there may be a delay. Disapointing, yes, but it's a quality thing, and since I've spent far too long writing this one, it can wait for a little bit longer.
The Winningverse AU month: I'll probably put out a short story for this based on an idea a friend gave me:
Lord Solaris Pentecost: How about an AU ruled by Dinky the Magnificent? Who has enslaved the world with her adorableness.
And on a non-winningverse note: (If you're only here because of that, you can start ignoring me).
I've gotten a suprising number of requests to revist my original series, with the Discordian Detective version of Time Turner. Now a big reason for my reluctance on that front is the ever contentious character, Lucky Catch. Readers either hate her or love her. Unsuprising since she evolved out of a one scene joke that I've been meaning to replace, and I really only continued her role because she was already there. The next TTDDA story, Corruption of the Clouds, will probably shelve the Lucky Catch plotline.
When I'll start writing, I'm not sure. But I'll start looking for time and inspiration. Maybe I'll get a kitten for that.
Finally, a newer Idea for your consideration. How many of you have seen Blackadder?
While the Discordian Detective series took inspiration from Dirk Gently, this one does the same with Blackadder. Staring the overworked, underapreciated servants of Prince Blueblood the 52nd who have to deal with Canterlot Politics, the Elite, Celestia's hoof in everything, and the whims of their master while somehow trying to make things better for themselves.
Think stories along the lines of : Whom the Princesses Would Destroy... and The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.
Yay! Discordian Detective!
I don't think a kitten will be much inspiration. I mean, you already did the missing cat story.
Loved Blackadder! Heavy look forward to new story from writer man!
