    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

    Been a little bit.

    So yeah, it's been a while. I guess I get to share a little news.

    First off, I'm making a little progress on finding a new place. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I'm pre-approved for a mortgage, and now I'm talking to realtors. If I'm lucky, by the end of this summer, I'll have found a place and moved into it.

Daring Do and the Quiververse · 3:25am Sep 8th, 2017

It's going up a little early, but the first couple chapters for "A Daring Day" are in the process of being submitted and should be available for viewing soon. Most of the rest of the story is done, and I should have the whole thing up before the end of this month.

Expect a later blog post about the story itself, but for now, here are a few tidbits for the fictional franchise within the Quiververse itself.

As of the events of "A Daring Day", eighteen books have been released in the series. This includes the sixteen seen in Twilight's possession in "Read It and Weep", as well as two that were published between then and the events of this story - "Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny" (published shortly after the main events of "Daring Don't") and "Daring Do and the Volcano of Destiny" (published at the start of "Rainbow Dash and the Daring Do Double Dare"). A further five books minimum are still to come, based on later episodes and real life releases.

As in canon, the books are written by Daring Do herself under the alias of A. K. Yearling, but within the Quiververse, they're edited by Twilight Velvet (mother of Princess Twilight Sparkle). A select few know the truth behind the name, among them Twilight Velvet, the Mane Six, and Equestria's ruling princesses. Also as in canon, most of Daring Do's adventures take her to remote corners of Equestria and the lands beyond, though the books do omit and exaggerate particular details in order to purposefully keep things vague. "A Daring Day" will elaborate further upon the details.
