    Hi there, dear readers.

    So. It’s been almost two months since I last updated something on my end, right? “Where’s the Letter updates?” “Are you going to write anything else soon?” “Are you okay?”

    “Are you okay?” There’s a question I can answer.

    Returning From An Unannounced Hiatus!

    Hello, dear readers! It's been a few weeks since the last update on Letters. I haven't said anything about the sudden absence, and for that I offer a small apology for going dark.

    Long story short, family matters + writing burnout = massive shift in priorities for a while, but now I'm back to a relatively normalized state and ready to get to work again

    tl;dw: Fluttershy Leans In

    Fluttershy's friends recommend three experts for her, instead of Fluttershy asserting herself and picking her own expert from the beginning.

    tl;dw: Rock Solid Friendship

    Maud made a friend. No thanks to Pinkie.

    She lives in Ponyville-adjacent. Sorta thanks to Pinkie.

    Thanks, Pinkie... but no thanks.

    tl;dw: Flurry of Emotions

    Finding a last-minute babysitter sure is hard, especially when you practically have a local shaggy-bearded unicorn babysitter back at home.

    ...Wait. Waiiiiit a minute...

Hoo boy, this DDOS, huh? · 5:46am Apr 17th, 2015

Welp, what a mess it's been for Knighty, but at least it's over. On the plus side, he did get Cloudflare set up, which I've found to be quite useful on the sites I know use it, so hey, quicker load times for everyone!

Anyway, Letters hasn't been affected by the servers going down--this was one of my off days, after all--so the next one will be posted tomorrow on schedule. :raritywink:

Glad to hear your story is unaffected. Would have been a shame, really.

Glad that everything's normal again.

What does DDOS mean? I'm not that tech savvy

Distributed Denial of Service. Most commonly, it basically involves overloading a server with traffic to the point where its intended users can't access it, usually through the use of bots.

It's basically the traffic jam of the internet.

So someone attacked the website with spam or something?
