    If you've been posting on or faving my work

    Thank you very much. Unfortunately I can't say more than that to anyone specific because for some reason the site isn't showing me any new notifications. It lets me know I have them but gives no details.

    Still running late

    Due as much to difficulties on the editor's end as my steady depression; I so need to get away from a certain someone.

    I doubt anyone cares any more, but I still mean to finish that darn story. Actually it is finished, my editor is just having problems getting it back to me.

    Apologies and a very strange story

    My apologies once more (sigh) for the lateness of any updates. Between coming off the holidays and dealing with confinement-related stresses both my editor and I have been unable to proceed with the writing. I hope this will change soon, even more hopefully that it will coincide with the end of the Coronavirus.

    Anyway, on to something writing related, even if it's not my work.

    Once again, my apologies

    I offer everyone here my apologies for the stall-out on the last few chapters of Realms Undreamed Of. The first draft is done, but my editor has once again been going through financial and health-related problems that leave him with no time or energy for working on my writing.

So, what would you like to see next? · 3:54am Aug 19th, 2014

Right now I have two 'series', of sorts, and I'n rather wondering just what people want to see more of.

There's the 'Ardiverse' stories (my editor's name for it, not mine) which currently consist of Wolf In Pony's Clothing and its sequel Manehattan Madness, with at least another 2-3 stories being planned and worked on, focusing more on how Ardi and the wolves of the Great Northern Forests packs fit into Equestria. It won't be easy. Wolves lack the magic possessed by almost every other Equestrian species, and most wolves still fear and hate the ponies, and many ponies aren't fans of bringing these barbaric predators into the Harmony of Equestria. Especially when it turns out they may have been more friendly with some of Equestria's enemies than almost anyone currently living now knows. And when Twilight and two of her friends accompanies Ardi to a great convocation of the packs to make their case and confront both lupine and equine opposition, things will get entirely too exciting for them.

The other series which is more planned than worked on right now would be a sequel and prequel to My Little Balladeer. The first involves Twilight and Luna searching for and finding John through dreams, leading to Twi experiencing some of his memories ranging from his youth to the Korean War to his more famous later career. Oh yes, and learning that other things are in the dream realm as well, and they want to get even with both Luna and John -- and are perfectly willing to make her suffer to do it!

The other idea is Luna revealing to her sister and Twilight that she's been to John's world. But not as herself. As Nightmare Moon. Summoned to 16th century Prague by a magus named John Dee, it ends up involving Nightmare Moon, the Golem of Prague and its creator (and the Nightmare spirit's own plans for a soulless, invincible, infinitely strong body), Elizabethan occultists of the School of Night, and a wandering Puritan swordsman named Kane. I wonder if it would appeal to readers, mostly because it'd be so heavily set on earth and with humans rather than the ponies.

If anyone has any preferences or ideas, please let me know. Right now I admit to working on a short sequel in the 'Ardiverse' but when it's done I can move on to anything else. And thanks for reading.

Would love to see more with My Little Balladeer. Enjoyed that story a lot and any more to that would be amazing.

2382089 Thanks. I want to do more with it myself, though there are a couple pf 'Ardivese' stories currently being worked on with my editor. That stated if I can show him that people want to read more 'Balladeer' it may help to convince him.

All of these stories sound wonderful, but I admit to having a bias towards John. Twilight getting a taste of war, especially given some of the context around the flustercuck that is that entire chapter of world history, would be interesting to read.

Whichever you end up going with, have fun and kick much butt! The taking of names is optional.

2576536 Thanks. Given how that the responses seem mist interested with seeing a return to John and the ponies, I'll have to do some of those stories. I'm just glad people like that one so much!
