    Well. This is new. And horrible.

    I’ll be candid and short, since my typing is currently compromised by lack of computer and a ventilator that makes voice-to-chat darn near impossible.

    UPDATE:

    Another Month, Another Update

    It feels somewhat hyperbolic to open with "EVERYTHING IS WORSE NOW", but here we are.

    Life Update: Things Suck Bad (rereading everything to get back to writing though!)

    It's... been a bit hasn't it? I really shouldn't leave people in the dark so long. But when it's sometimes this dark, I just have to stare at a wall and wonder if any of my (lovely, wonderful, marvelous) watchers really care to hear what's going on.

    Update: Monkey's Paw

    "Boy, I know the oncologist said before that he expects the surgery to happen within 2 to 3 weeks, but I hope not. I'd want to be able to move around at least for my birthday. Gee, I wonder what the surgeon is going to say today..."

    And the Monkey's Paw clenches.

    GENERAL WARNING. Moroseness and details on bad cancer stuff incoming.

"All These Midnight Days" has updated... · 5:59pm Oct 2nd, 2020

But, due to a "Phantom Update", All These Midnight Days did not pop up for anybody today. Swell.

After putting aside her desire to destroy the multiverse, and helping to save the day alongside her new 'friends', Midnight Sparkle has been given a chance at living her own life, as Twilight's twin sister. It hasn't been an easy road, of course. Endless nightmares they cannot break free from, social awkwardness around their mutual friends, gaps in their memory pointing to catastrophic brain damage due to their Split, and the underlying existential fear of merely being clones of their old (dead) self, have made the first few days of Midnight and Twilight's new lives... fraught.

Yeah. Let's go with fraught.

In today's update, while trying to comfort Sunset Shimmer during her 'mixed-reaction' to becoming an Alicorn Princess, Midnight is suddenly consumed by darkness, and seems to return to her old ways, threatening to unmake the entire world of Equestria in a single stroke! Will Twilight be able to bring her sister back? Will Midnight be able to defeat her own Shadow? How will this affect her upcoming date with Aria Blaze

Only one way to find out!

Reformed and Human, Midnight Sparkle has a whole life ahead of her. Oh... joy...

We have a few last-second questions from folks who missed out on the AMA. So, without further ado:

What's your favorite Trixie moment?

The Moonshot Manticore Mouthdive. It's a Trixie performance, we get to see her inner sorrow over her actions, and she still... technically... pulls it off. And all while making a new friend!

Do you believe her Equestria Girl's version has similar hardships other than what was shown in Forgotten Memories?

Yes, though... I don't think there's anything going on with her parents like Pony-Trixie might have dealt with. Or, there's nothing really to extrapolate from like with Pony-Trixie. So, similar... but not exactly the same.

Is there a type of story different from what you've written until now that you would like to try in the future?

Um... I have a story I was meaning to do back in June that's been pushed up til this month. A Nightmare Night story, where each chapter covers a different character's prep for the holiday. And the first chapter... is basically me writing about an LGBTQ character from my Anarchy story coming out. It's new and uncharted territory for me, and I hope it works. But the pressure of getting it right has massively delayed the project thus far.

Which type of horror do you prefer reading?

Classic horror. I will fight anyone who thinks Frankenstein isn't a great novel, for instance. I love the tropes alongside those sorts of horror stories, stuff that examines the human condition, but delivers it alongside spooky stuff.

Is English your first language?

Yes.

...

Wait, did I do something that made you think it wasn't?

When was the last time you felt truly happy?

Will midnight still go on her date with aria?

Yes.


Alright! Spread the word! The word that... I screwed up my update algorithm royally... ew. :facehoof:

I absolutely hate when it doesn't pop up

The new chapter doesn't show up in my tracking list unless I remove and readd the story to my tracking list.

Are... you having... a giggle?

I love Fimfic’s programming. I really do. But this is just getting obscene.
