    Bout time for an update, eh?

    Not a big enough update to qualify for Rabbit Tracks, but this is just to say: Work is continueing on "Just a Pony", albeit slowly. Two more chapters down, then I got sidetracked by videogames, now I'm sidetracked by homework and sickness, and then hopefully back to "Just a Pony" soon!

    Irony

    I tried to write a blog about how I haven't been able to write. I accidentally hit ctrl+r and refreshed the page, losing everything I had written. A cruel bit of irony. I am tired and angry with myself and scared for my future as a writer and I do not have the energy to retype it, so pretend there is some sincere and heartfelt explanation here and you're moved by the struggles of some weird

    Pictures should be fixed across all stories

    At this point if anyone is seeing broken images in my fics on Fimfiction please let me know! For anyone looking for a new image hosting site with Discord having done the Big Suck, I used Postimages and it was rather simple and efficient.

    Image hosting

    Real quick, I know my images are all borked again; what are folks using for image hosting these days? Needs to be free and the less likely it is to implode the better... I was using Discord until just recently which is why this mess happened lmao

    Becoming myself

    It's a bit strange that I've spent days trying to figure out how to write this. It's such a big thing and I want to get that across to y'all, but I never will. So I'm just going to rip off the bandaid and get this out there. Because something amazing happened to me.

Looking Glass illustrations decided on! · 2:07am Feb 16th, 2021

So I figured out what scenes to illustrate in Looking Glass! Click the read more to see which scenes I'm going to illustrate, and don't click the read more if you want to be surprised when reading the book lol

First though, shout out toapplejackofalltrades, who reread the whole story just to make a list of scenes that would do well illustrated; thedarkprep and The Scarlett Mare, who went through the list with me in a voice call and helped me figure out which scenes from it would be the most worthwhile; and those of my followers here and people in my Discord server that offered suggestions for what scenes they'd like to see :twilightsmile:

Now, the list. All scenes are in chronological order.

  1. Little human Sunset looking at herself in the orphanage mirror, lifting her arm
  2. Sunset and Sugar Breeze fighting over the toy horse
  3. Applejack and Sunset in the treehouse (this is already commissioned)
  4. Sunset going through the filing cabinet in Crystal Clear’s office -OR- Sunset and Rose Petal singing on the way to the meeting with him
  5. Sunset sitting on her bed, looking down at the journal, tears in her eyes
  6. Sunset and Summer Rain looking at Applejack from the bus window
  7. The snowball fight between Applejack and Sunset (this is already commissioned)
  8. Sunset getting to CHS and like collapsing in front of the statue
  9. Sunset meeting the girls for the first time? Something from this chapter...
  10. Sunset and Flash drinking at the tree
  11. Sunset meeting Twilight after going through the mirror
  12. Sunset intimidating Shy in the hallway before Flash intervenes
  13. Sunset with her bike on the ground, kneeling down and screaming in the woods
  14. Sunset setting the library on fire
  15. Celestia letting the sunset burn amber, red, and yellow as she stands on her balcony looking at it
  16. The ash path (the most requested scene)
  17. Sunset facing her literal inner demon in the lycoris field
  18. Sunset hand in hand with Applejack, standing in front of sugarcube corner like clad in her wondercolts sweater

I still need artist suggestions if y'all have any. This is a lot of scenes (one for most chapters of the book), and I want to involve many artists in this project. I've already commissioned Incendiaryboobs and spacerocks, and I'm planning on asking Pasu, Adgerelli, VerumTee, applejackofalltrades, coiris, and Overlordneon. I can of course use artists multiple times, but this is eight artists for eighteen pictures. I'd be interested in hearing some other artist suggestions, is all!

I like the idea of Sunset going through the filing cabinet for #4. That was a really intense scene.

I have no suggestions for artists, I'm really bad at commissioning them. :C

Even though I reread the story, made that thick list and already knew what scenes you chose, I still got excited when I reread them here. God, I definitely will have no excuse not to buy this print version of LG when it's ready >:)

As for artists, I don't know of many that have commissions open right now that might be up for something like this but I'll definitely keep an eye out and let you know if I notice anyone >~<

Lol I've got one vote for each now then. I'm kinda leaning towards Rose just because there's no other pictures of her in the plans. And no worries about artists, I'll figure something out :twilightsheepish:

Considering you've already got four illustrations in the book (the two from Looking Glass and the two from Breaking the Ice) and are likely to have at least a fifth? I expect you'll want the book almost as much as me :derpytongue2: And yeah lemme know if you find anyone doing coms that you think would be a good fit!
