    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

And the end's in sight. · 1:33am May 11th, 2015

I've outlined everything I want to pack into Chapter Seven of "Six Nights". I've already got nearly 3,500 words typed out for it, and I'm hoping that it doesn't turn out quite as long as Chapter Six, but however long it gets, I'm hoping folks are pleased with it.

I have to say, I'm happy that folks are pleased with the story thus far. This is my longest MLP story to date, and one of the first major bits of connective tissue for my own little 'verse, not to mention my own attempt at giving Sunset Shimmer a sympathetic backstory. Given we'll probably not see an official one from Hasbro, it's up to us fans to provide one. If folks are happy with the one I've given, then I'll count it as a good thing.

So, what's next? As far as Sunset herself is concerned, I have rough plans for her next story; her getting a job. That'll be a one-shot, but sorta difficult, given I'm horrible at writing in verse. After that, as I've said, comes my adaptation of the IDW holiday special. After that, another one-shot, and from there, the "Rainbow Rocks" adaptation. As far as stories from me in general, however, I want to get back to "New Horizon" and finish it off. Hopefully, that'll be out by the end of the summer.

As always, though, I wish I had more time.
