    How Many Times Does Trixie Actually Say "I"?

    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…

Art Gallery Update! AWESOME Turing Test Fanart and Updated Chapter Illustrations! · 1:33am Jul 30th, 2016

Hey everyone! Just here to let you know that the gallery for The Iron Horse has been updated! Two new chapter illustrations have been added but first, I need to say HOLY S:yay:T, THAT'S BEEPING AWESOME!!

I was blown away when longtime reader TheDriderPony told me they'd commissioned an art piece of Turing Test, but I never imagined it would be a real, physical 3-D figurine of Turing Test (along with their own OC, Alchemilla)! :heart: The artist is named krowzivitch and she apparently does tons of these custom figurines. I hadn't heard of them before, but I was blown away by this super-accurate rendering of the character, that I knew I owed them a follow.

So, from the bottom of my heart, thanks so much, DriderPony. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen, and both I and Green, my illustrator, were left speechless. Thank you so much. It's the wonderful things you and the other readers have said and done that have made writing this story all the more rewarding.

Well, it's a tough act to follow, but we also have two new awesome illustrations added to some older chapters that didn't have them until now. I think Mr. Green did a fantastic job. :pinkiesmile:

Priority Queue, Part 2

Rainbow is cold, and Turing Test has a heat sink for a tail. Problem solved.

In Two Minds, Part 1

Good god, is it wrong to squee over your own character? Because if it is, then I don't wanna be right.

More illustrations are incoming, and many thanks to all the readers for their comments, their fanart, and just for their support. I'm truly grateful to have such great readers enjoying my work. :twilightsmile:

You and me both, man. You and me both... :ajsleepy:

4121750 Well, perhaps, and this is just a crazy idea, you could ask him who made it and if they can make you one?

4122037 which would actually cost money, and probably a good bit too. Hatsie might be able to afford it, but I can't. I'm broke, yo.

4122037 I'm thinking about it... not sure how much it cost.

The updated drawing are really cute (Poor Gadget! :rainbowlaugh:)

4122037 You could try, but the sculptor is so popular that they can only open commissions twice a year, and even then all the spots are filled within (not even joking) two seconds. I ordered these back in early March. (However the artist is opening commission slots this Tuesday the 9th if you want to try.)

4133953 I am aware, and will be gunning for it. :)
