State of the Scribe: July 2019 · 8:27pm Jul 1st, 2019
Hey everybody, here with this month's state of the scribe and some updates on the schedule. I'll be quick this time, though there's certainly some exiting stuff happening this month.
The first of those things is the ending of Secrets of the Mane 6, a story that's been with us for almost two years on and off. I never would've been able to finish it without your support, so I'm hugely thankful for helping me dig up one of my regrets and put it right. And though it's not actually on here, FiO: Recalculating will be completing on Tuesday as well. Another awesome FiO idea for the books--and its torch will soon be taken up, so have no fear.
Next, we've added a new story to Friday's cycle of short stories: Twilight Sparkle is an Espeon Now. This idea is a little sillier than my usual, but it's been a long time since I've written anything Pokemon, so I look forward to it. As will be true going forward, the first chapter of any story here on Patreon will be open to anyone to read, with future chapters being for patrons only until the story makes it to fimfiction. But if any of you aren't supporting me and want to check out what either of the new stories this month has to offer, feel free to stop by on the days they're scheduled and see.
Lastly, the Thursday slot. A new FiO story, currently untitled, devoted to some aspects of the FiO community I haven't seen explored yet. Yes, somehow I found something else to write about in this universe. Anyone who's familiar with PaP might know that I was kinda eager to see the side-story count approach FiO's... I've personally made that basically impossible by writing so many of these instead of PaP ideas. I have no regrets.
Speaking of PaP, though. The original story, Last Pony on Earth, has been waiting for a cover for its hardcover print for a while now. Zutcha has finished, along with some all new original art for the new chapters I wrote for it. Expect to see another blog post as soon as I've got the book in my hands to show off.
And that's about it for this month. Yes, I do actually have some days off on this one. Somehow. Don't worry, I'm sure they will be gone again by next month.

I find myself deeply intrigued by that Pokémon crossover. Especially if Twilight manages to turn the rest of her friends into Eeveelutions in her attempts to undo the transformation.

I second that. And now I can't stop thinking of Rarity being a Sylveon
“Recalculating.” “On the Road” was a working title. :)
When it’s done, may I post into the commentsthe behind the scenes pitch I sent you that kicked it off? I won’t post your replies, I just want folks to see how you went from commission to finished product. :)
Pokemon? That's going to be interesting. Not that I know a damn thing about pokemon...
Where?

Pokemon is where I started writing fanfiction in middle school and high school. It's all posted on my fanfiction.net profile, but it's some real crappy writing 'yo.

You are absolutely right. Brainfart, but it's fixed now. Thankfully the automated systems that actually post the stories don't make mistakes the way I do.
First of: Yay!
Second: Will the story take place in Equestria or somewhere else (like the Pokemon world)?

It's in Equestria. Beyond that I don't want to spoil it.
I just put the FiO story on the calendar. Less confusing that way.
What does the blue mean? When can we read the new FiO story?

It means it's staying on my Patreon for the first month (while it waits for a cover). Expect it to come to Fimfiction in August.
The calendar won't appear now.

I'll look into alternate hosting in future months.
