Planning Ahead! · 1:53am Jan 13th, 2012

Roight, time to procrastinate a bit more on my essay and update this thing instead. After all, it's way past 12th Night and I can't be having with a Christmassy blog post staring out from my profile!

So instead I'll bore you all with what I plan to do next. I didn't get nearly as much done over the holidays as I thought I would, but that's holidays for you. As it stands, I've currently still got two on-going stories, Binky Pie and Pony of the Opera. The latter is quite near to completion, I wager another two or three chapters, but it's a matter of getting down and actually writing the damned thing. It will happen, perhaps sooner than I think.

The other still has a bit to go before the grand finale, but I aim to finish both within the term (that is to say, by the end of March. Let's see if I can actually do it!)

After they're both done, I have two new projects I wish to start on:

Fleurdeliser II: Royal Flush
A sequel to Fleurdeliser, which was far more popular than I ever expected it to be, and telling the story I actually intended to tell in the first place! Fleurdeliser was actually supposed to be merely the introduction, but as I wrote it (and my pre-reader berated me), it grew into a stand-alone.

Without pulling any punches, Royal Flush will involve Fleur's greatest heist. The jewel in the crown, as it were.

And secondly...

Sugarpunk - Working Title
A brand new project that's been percolating in my head for a while now. Inspired by an attempt myself and a friend made at developing a pony mod for FreeCiv (a Civilization II freeware clone), Sugarpunk will be set some years in the future of Equestria, where Pinkie's unique brand of baking and engineering led the nation into an industrial revolution, fuelled by sugar! An attempt at a more light-hearted look at the future, the story will follow one of Ponyville's many bakineers (baking engineers), a worker at SugarApple Industries, on his journey across the nation to deliver an important package.

So yeah. That's what's forthcoming from me for the foreseeable future. Of course, I'll still update Pony Shorts on occasion, whenever a silly idea strikes me on the noggin, and I have a few one-shots that want to break free (Pasta Ponies!), so hopefully I'll have plenty of things to keep me going.

And for all you lot, thank you for taking the time to read my stories! My writing's improved quite a bit since I wrote the prologue to Binky Pie, nearly a year(!) ago, and hopefully will improve further!

Perhaps one day I'll be able to send something through EqD without giving the pre-readers a heart-attack from flagrant overuse of commas and ellipses...
