Onset of the Mid-Season Hiatus · 2:14am Jun 13th, 2016

Well, I'm going to do something about it.
Over the course of the mid-season hiatus, I'll be writing and publishing several stories-- written somewhat like television episodes-- to try to narrow the gap between "Spice Up Your Life" and "Stranger than Fan Fiction" (how ironic, the title!). I call it the Hiatusbuster.
By all means consider these so-called "episodes" non-canon in the strictest sense-- I'll write them to look like plausible episodes, but it very seriously doubt that DHX would, erm, "canonify" them. Their legal team, I believe, is just concerned that I'd sue them (equally unlikely).
The stories themselves will be spread across three or four chapters (to mimic commercial breaks), and will always be rated Everyone. Stories will be published every Saturday-- I'll aim for 8:30, but there's no guarantee that they'll make it on time. I may publish a sneak peak on Thursdays, if there's demand for them-- much like the episode trailers that Hasbro is so keen to release. I'll try to invoke morals that have not been previously covered in the show canon. Heaven knows that, as far as the show has come, there are still a few lessons left unspoken.
The list of stories that I intend to write and publish are titled as follows:
1. Day Break
2. Apple Gjak (CANCELLED*)
3. [CANCELLED]
4. [CANCELLED]
5. [CANCELLED]
6. [CANCELLED]
7. [CANCELLED]
8. [CANCELLED]
9. [CANCELLED]
10. [CANCELLED]
11. [CANCELLED]

As the series progresses, I'll update the preceeding list periodically, adding hyperlinks to released stories and announcing new ones, so be sure to check back often.
If you're interested in this project, then please, spread the word-- I don't get a lot of attention as an author, and every little bit of publicity helps. If you're not interested, then feel free to disregard this post (and the stories produced thereof).
If you have any questions regarding the Hiatusbuster project, please speak up. I'd be happy to answer.
Good night, and good luck.
Actually, I think the next episode is Fault in Our Cutie Marks, since that IS episode 9 in production order, and said episode got moved around.

Possibly. Let's see what hits the airwaves in September.

But, either way, we'll have to wait and see, yes.
