    One of Trixie's best-known traits in the fandom is that she speaks in the third person all the time. But does she really? Turns out, no one has ever counted the times she says "I." Until now...

    Hat Man Reviews: "Haze" by Bandy!

    Haze is a story that is filled with big ideas: Cloud empires. Flying earth ponies. Ancient religions. Superpower-inducing fungi. Unfortunately, much like the mushroom-munching ponies in this story, this story might be biting off more than it can handle…

Next Iron Horse Chapter: When? · 11:22pm Mar 26th, 2016

Just a quick question here, folks: Should the next chapter go up Sunday or Monday?

The chapter has been written and edited and I believe it is ready to go, once Green finishes the illustration. I was planning to release it tomorrow, but then I realized that Easter might not be the best time for folks, as they might be spending the day with family. (None of my family's that close, so it's just a Sunday with Cadbury Creme Eggs, as far as I'm concerned.) Monday's a weekday, of course, but I've released a lot of chapters on Monday.

So, there it is, folks: what would you like better? Let me know in the comments!

is it important to read the chapter right when it goes online?
i would think sooner is better unless there´s a difference in quality

3829009 Agreed, but I thought I'd ask. (shrug)

Sooner is better.

Monday. I find that if I have a chapter uploaded to Fimfiction and relax a little, when I re-read it on FimFiction, errors come popping out of the seams, and I wind up taking another day to stomp little bugs.

Better one day later and more quality. This is my vote.

Sunday , so I have something interesting to read this week end :twilightsmile:

My vote is for Sunday.

Well, it may actually depend on if my illustrator can finish in a timely fashion before Sunday. He's got a pretty neat illustration in the works that just might show something you haven't seen before, so I don't want to update without it. Still, thanks for the feedback in the meantime, folks! I appreciate it!

I think Monday would be fine, just make sure the chapter is the best you can do with an extra day to polish it.

I think quality is better than quantity don't stress yourself.I think Sunday's great but if affects the quality update it it on Monday so your readers will enjoy it more :pinkiehappy:

If don't affect quality, Sunday! :twilightsmile:

Eh, sorry everyone who wanted the chapter today, but I hit a snag on something, so it looks like it'll be Monday. But, on the plus side, you're still getting a chapter after only one week instead of two. That's... that's something, right? :twilightblush:

3831190 A win no matter what! :yay:

Better later and well finished than sooner and unclean.
