Ohoho! New chapter and a tid bit o' info! · 1:46am Sep 5th, 2012
Hey there! Sorry to bother you all like this, but I was recently asked a few questions by a reader of The Tale of Gaius "Ninefingers", and I felt like I should probably present the answers to all of you that wanted to listen.
First Question:
"Will the story be going by the 'cannon' map?"
AKA this one: 
(I freaking hate this map...)
Answer:
By the gods, no! The story is taking place in my own little version of Equestria with references to the "Equestria and Beyond" (Link) But for the most part I am completely editing and changing the landscape of Equestria on a whim depending on what's best for the story and making it as tolerable to the reader as possible.
Second Question:
"I was wondering if there was going to be any mention of the crystal ponies since you jumped onto the changeling thing pretty fast."
Answer:
As things stand, I'm thinking no. The changelings were something that I could mesh in with the overall story-arch without too much damage. The crystal ponies, however, would present several conflicting issues with future plot developments and would generally make my day a lot harder.
Alright that's all for the questions that I was asked and thought you all might want to know.
If any of you have questions that you think I can answer without giving away any spoilers then feel free to ask!
With spiteful love,
Zong The Nefarious.
You're alive? Well now, looks like they didn't take you out after all...
I has a sad.

Oh, so you wanted THEM to take me did you?! You sir, are a dreadful acquaintance!
But guess what! I'm back so...

Well, no reason to get snippy over an assassination attempt.

You go tell your assassins that they were rubbish! and that they should all get sharper knives! Also, on a side note, we never did that blog thingie!
337052
Yup, was waiting for confirmation that you were still alive.
337075
Well, here I am!
Well I for one am glad you're alive! And very thankful the assassins didn't get you. I wonder if I should kill them for the attempt, or because they failed. . . I have a very strict work ethic, especially in regards to the fine art of lifetaking. That they failed and yet live. . . most disturbing. Mayhaps I will make a personal apperance to their. . . 'master', hmm? ~With regards, the Current Student of the Second True Magic.

Well, I...
Gaius suddenly, and in-explicitly appears from nowhere yelling, "Get outta here yah damn mage! Go back to your demon fondling master!"
I quickly shove Gaius back down into his story and continue on... As I was saying, that would be a marvelous idea! Murder Random! Murder him I say!
337146 Ahh, allow me. -Snaps hand to point at Gaius, promptly engulfs him in swirling etherlike magic, and teleports him to Pinkie Pie's Subspace Pocket.- It helps that the Second True Magic holds dominion over the operation of parallel dimensions, and all things dimensionaly. A pity he didn't ask how to get home. Ohh well, his loss, and probably won't help his opinion of mages. Still, it amused me, and I promised Pinkie a playmate.
337172
No worries, Gaius has invincibility due to plot-armor. I'll just write him out of the pinkie dimension.
>cannon
"cannon" and "canon" are not the same thing
337250
I meant exactly what I misspelled!
337257 Okay then dl.dropbox.com/u/93510029/spike.png
337176 I wasn't exactly worried about him being stuck there. After all, he would be pulled out of Pinkie's mane at some point. Or accidentally used in place of Party Cannon ammunition.
