    The beard of regret.

    This is a post about beards. Specifically, my beard. There's pretty much nothing else, so I encourage you to skip this post if you couldn't care less about beards.

    Heh, whoops...

    So, trust me to do a big "I'm back!" post and then immediately disappear for a couple months. Sorry about that! The last couple of months at work have been a little brutal, there's some personal home-life stuff happening, and I'm just generally out of practice when it comes to posting. I'll make an effort to post more frequently!

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! And happy Thursday for those who don't!

    Thus kicks off the traditional holiday season chaos! Get ready for the next few weeks to be filled with holiday music, Christmas specials, and constant reminders of various sales in order to encourage more and more shopping!

    I can see clearly now...

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome I got the other day on my previous blog post. I'm not surprised, this is the kindest and most welcoming community I've ever been a part of, but it was very much appreciated! It underscored for me how much I missed being here.

    The Triumphant Return of Hoopy McGee!

    (Alternate Blog Title: My god, so many notifications!)

    Hi, everyone! Hope you’re all doing well in these trying times! 

    Well, I’ve decided to return to Fimfiction after an incredibly long absence. I’ve really missed this site, especially the community that resides here.

Just in case anyone is worried... · 2:59am Oct 15th, 2014

I'm not dead yet :pinkiehappy:

Just some quick notes, to make up a little for the extreme lack of updates recently.

As far as Project Sunflower: Harmony goes, I have chapters 11 and 12 in editing. 11 is very nearly ready, and will be up by this weekend. 12 needs a bit of work, but I hope to get that up next week.

I've decided to make a bit of a change in how I publish Sunflower. Simply, I really like writing slice-of-life stuff, but it's really bogging down the story. The story so far covers less than a week. That's about 2-3 chapters per day that passes. I really want to get time moving faster, but I don't want to ignore the fluffy stuff that I love writing.

The Side Projects worked pretty well for me last time around, so I plan to do something similar for Harmony. I'm going to start putting all of the slice-of-life goodness into its own set of side stories, so I can focus more on moving the main plot line along. If there is a relevant side-story, I'll make a link to it in the Author's Notes at the bottom of the chapter. But, no worries, if you don't enjoy reading slice-of-life: the side-stories won't be necessary to understand the main story. Think of them as more like DVD extras and bonus features :rainbowlaugh:

In other news, I'm writing horror stories. Pony horror stories, as a matter of fact. The first one is in editing now. I have at least two others planned (one of them features Cinnamon Swirl and Plum Pudding facing a very unusual Nightmare Night!), and I want to get them done before October is up... but if I can't, then I'll just have to publish them in November.

Last, but certainly not least, DragonriderSC did up another set of pictures, this time featuring Sunny's kids from Keepers of Discord:

I absolutely adore these... :twilightsmile:

As always, thanks for reading!

Heh, the attitude in those kids though.

Happy to hear I don't need to bring out the shovel. :pinkiecrazy:

I'm glad you're making another side stories for the slice of life aspect. As good as your slice of life chapters are they're kinda ruined by my desire to know what was woken in the other world.

Basically this kept playing in my head while reading the last few chapters.

Again, not bad, but yah gotta pick a theme.

Hey, I love your slice of life, don't you dare completely throw it off the story! Please!

I was going to ask you something but then I got interrupted and lost my train of thought and now I don't remember what I was going to ask. :ajsleepy:

I'm not dead yet

Don't write that! The last internet personality who I followed, wrote that as his very last post. And yeah we all confirmed he's (most likely) pushing up daisies. :fluttercry:

I'm not dead yet :pinkiehappy:

News of your not-demise is greatly celebrated. I look forward to more, whatever form it may take. :twilightsmile:
