    Readers: WHERE'S THE CHAPTER?! Me: Well....

    Being the finale(but not the end of the book series) of The Last Alicorn: Book 1: Purpose, i've been rewriting parts of the chapter and deleting other parts over and over because I want this finale to be as epic as I'm imagining it. This is why the chapter is taking so long to come out^^;

    Don't worry, I'm not going dark again!

    In fact the current chapter i'm working on is sitting at 6k words but I do want to give a word of warning that in a month's time dawntrail will drop and while I'll still try to update my stories still, the new expansion will have the majority of my attention. So with that said, I'll hopefully have the new chapter out within a few days!

    You guys cool with that?

An update regarding the hub going"bye-bye!" · 7:25am Oct 6th, 2014

Copy and pasta'd from the page:

Sitcoms are gone. The daily movies are gone. Marathons of other Discovery networks’ shows are here.

Starting Monday, October 13, the Hub Network will rebrand as Discovery Family. Kids programming will will the network between 5am-5pm with Hasbro Studios shows and other kids programming currently seen on the Hub Network.

Programming from other Discovery networks will air from 5pm-5am, like Discovery Channel’s Africa and Survival of the Weirdest on Monday night, Science Channel’s How Do They Do It?, Extreme Engineering: Big Reveals and Buying the Galaxy on Tuesday night, Factory Made and Animal Planet’s It’s Me or the Dog on Wednesday night and TLC’s Cake Boss and Quints by Surprise on Thursday night. Friday looks to be various specials, like behind the scenes on the Disney Cruise and at Walt Disney World, plus stuff like What Sank Titanic? – all of these shows are from various Discovery networks. Saturdays are movies and The Haunting Hour through the night. Sunday’s see Animal Planet series Meerkat Manor: The Next Generation (the original series aired on The Hub at launch) and Hillbilly Handfishin’.

Back to the kids’ side of the network – most shows will be moving up some in time from where they currently air on weekdays. Dan Vs. is gone as is one of Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch’s showings. For example, Jem and the ’80s G.I. Joe will now air in the 5am hour and Family Game Night will air at 8:30am. Pony fans can relax as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic will air from 10:30am-noon and 3:30-5pm.

Weekend daytime schedules will remain mostly the same. However, new episodes of Hub series Parents Just Don’t Understand move to Sundays with Family Game Night airing at 1pm and 2pm, respectively.

Gone completely from the network are Hub series Dan Vs. and Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot, sitcoms Sister, Sister, Blossom, Step by Step, ALF and regular daily movies.

I've bolded the part where they speak of the MLP airings. All I can say to this is, I'll believe it when I see it and I wonder how long this will last...?

We can only hope this will stay as it's posted on the website.

And I guess I can admit that I was wrong about MLP being pushed to a backwater timeslot. Looks like Hasbro (at the very least) knows to keep their "money maker" in the same timeslot to keep fans happy. Or maybe it was some of those "pro-brony" CEOs i hear exist in Hasbro HQ. Whatever the reason, it seems our ponies are safe for the time being. That said, I highly doubt we'll get the amount of fan-service and shout-outs we got when from the HUB when they ran the channel but at the very least we can be thankful for small favors.

However I will point one thing out,

Remember when I said this?:

Digimon used to be a fox kids prime-time show, it was their biggest spotlight series, then the channel got bought out by another company. Digimon got moved to a backwater slot, then due to the fact kids never saw it(thanks to this backwater slot), got removed entirely.

I've underlined the part that pertains to this. As i said, some shows would get cut. Not any that I will miss but I'm sure of fair amount of you loved the Dan Vs. series and the daily movie showings. Whelp, you can say goodbye to those. :fluttershysad:

It was those old shows that made the Hub Network fun in the first place. :ajbemused:

Discovery just killed what partly made the Hub Network worth watching in the first place besides the original programs of new and old shows based on Hasbro products.

In this situation, I will believe in the power of greed. The high viewer count of the show makes it desirable for a prime slot so they can get more money from advertisers. MLP:FiM should be safe for quite a while.

as long as we have the support of the community and there products sell it will be ok. but time will tell . season 7 will be the proving point.
