    Long time no blog! :twilightoops:

    So, I have been reserving my 100th blog post for something special. However, with my latest two Thoughts blog posts stalled for the past two years, I’m posting something else. So, time for some thoughts on My Little Pony: The Movie!

    Thoughts: On Names: Design

    Whew! It has been quite a while since the last Thoughts blog. The Ponies on Earth blog is currently going nowhere because I am blocked on the topic and I am still reorganizing my thoughts… for the past one and a half years. Plus, I have all these story ideas swarming my head, snarling all my writings to a crawl. Not to mention my day job robbing most of my free time but I am doing my best

    Post: MMDG contest entry up

    News
    The More Most Dangerous Game contest deadline ended over a couple of hours ago and I barely submitted the thing in time. Final rush of 18 hours of almost non-stop writing and I managed almost 2.5k words (17 words below the minimum word limit, I hope EqD doesn't disqualify my entry =s).

    The More Most Dangerous Game contest

    So recently our Great Beardlord Obselescence started a new The Most Dangerous Game™ contest. Now with more Equestria Daily! Of course, I'm going to enter once again this time. The writing rules are the same as last time (mostly):

Update: The State of Things 2 · 5:35am Jul 24th, 2014

Hello everyone! Sorry that I've been quiet lately. Been busy working on a game project with a friend along with juggling school work and writing... So here's the current status of the stories (and no, none of them are on hiatus, just written very slowly):

Of Chaos and Spirits
I'm actually waffling on this one. I originally written this as a one-shot and the feedback drove me to expand it. It's not a bad thing per se but I'm currently conflicted over it--if I expand on it, it would probably involve some rather large time skips, which I'm wary about. On the hand, I could return the status back to a on-shot and fold the expanded materials into The Rise of the Sun and Moon.

Of Sunshine and Laughter
Chapter 5 is being worked on, slowly (as usual). I have some details I need to work out and all I'll say now is the Mane 6 (sans Twilight, Pinkie and plus Celestia) is going to have to get through different trials to get the Elements of Harmony, Luna and Chaos are going to have a little chat and Twilight is in Lala-land (aka Dreamland). I'll try not to take a year to finish a chapter this time...

Algebra, Nightmare Moon, Me
Boy if I haven't neglected this one... I'm having some trouble with the prose right now and still trying to figure a good ending that doesn't end with Deus Ex Machina. And no, it's not going on hiatus.

In Between
As stated in the comments of the story, I'll be rewriting this when the contest is officially over. I have a few ideas for the complete overhaul and expansion. Maybe you can find out what Plan Lavender really entailed (nothing too epic, unfortunately).

Anthology of Chaos and Harmony
I have a story for this in editing, born out of my May Write-off entry (which can be read here). So far, I need to reorganize the story and write a proper ending for it.

Evergreen
Also born out of the current Write-off competition (which I didn't enter, I couldn't finish the entry on time), I'm writing this on the side while I work on the rest of the stories above.

So that's all for now. :twilightsheepish:

Edit July 31st:
The Silver Mark and the Glittery Stars
Don't worry, the story isn't being quietly swept under the rug after failing to meet the contest deadline. I ran into some plotting issues (namely the plot being too boring) and rewriting almost the entire thing from scratch (which also dumped about 3k words T_T). Hope the next iteration isn't as boring... and with more tender love between Twilestia. :derpytongue2:

... No Cassia rant section? This is most unlike you... I mean Cassia.

She's uh... tied up at the moment. :scootangel:

Garand... you are dead when I get out of these ropes!

Wow, sure is noisy right now. Must be all the wind... :twilightsheepish:

2311637 O_O Wow, you're mean Garand. Though I admit I am impressed on how you've managed to tie Cassia up. Any tips?

*WHAM! Alternia whacks vren55 over the head.

"Quit thinking perverted thoughts you hentai!" yelled Alternia.

Tips?

Have a friend help with a distraction.

*bolts from Alternia for the hills* *again*

2312090
Tips? Uh... Magically inert ropes and a distraction?

...

Whoa, Alternia's all tsundere there...

Basically what 2312387 said. :twilightsheepish:
