So, yeah, I meant for the story to go up ON Christmas, but it seems a lot of story approvers were celebrating the holiday as well and it got a little delayed. Oh well! Ladies and Gents, for your reading pleasure and submitted for your approval at the link below...

Hello readers! Just a little head's up: I've got a special surprise in store for readers of "The Iron Horse" that should drop later today. For readers of "The Reality I Choose," you can expect more neat stuff in the coming New Year.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas, Happy Hearth's Warming, or whatever you choose to celebrate this season.

Hello dear followers both NEW (mostly coming off of "The Reality I Choose") and OLD (mainly from "The Iron Horse")! While I know many of you are awaiting more of the Sunset-verse, which I've pretty well decided I will touch on every now and again, I'd like to entice a few of you to give my main project a look. And

So, more illustration stuff here! Green did a redesign on Gadget as she appeared back in Chapter 2, this time in full color. As he's gotten better at drawing ponies and Gadget in particular, he's been taking a look at some of the earlier illustrations and offered up a more detailed picture of her. Without further ado, here it is!

My art slave illustrator Colby Green got off his duff and got to some of the earlier illustrations. While I'm working on my other project, I'm hoping he can get caught up on a few of the earlier chapters to get them illustrated. So, without further ado, here are two new ones.

First, from waaay back in Chapter 4, Vanderbull and his trusty assistant Gadget at the train station, just before Twilight sees them both off.

So, a few days ago, I happened to check the total view count at just the right time.

Just a quick little something for folks, what with Grace's recent appearance. First a couple of things I should clarify publicly:
1. Grace and Glory are not going to be making more appearances in this narrative.

Remember when I said I got some good news in the mail. It was for this:

Hopefully this means more folks will discover the story, but in any case, it's nice to be considered good enough to share with the community. Many thanks to everyone who's been supporting the story. I am grateful to you all.

First, a cryptic little announcement: I got some good news in the mail recently and I'm hopeful that it'll mean good things for "The Iron Horse." We'll see soon enough.

Now, on to the main point of this blog post. In the most recent chapter, Turing Test asks a question I'd planned to have her ask Twilight ever since I was planning the story out in my head:

Just a little note: I think, since edits and art are done for the next chapter, that I'll post the new chapter a day earlier than I'd planned. I hope you'll enjoy it as the capstone to this arc.

However, the next update might actually take longer than normal. I'm trying to write something original for National Novel Writing Month and it's going to take my attention for a bit. Plus I'd like to do a little more research on some things coming up for the next arc.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Milestones abound! "The Iron Horse" has gone over 800 comments, 34,500 total views, and has gotten to over 200,000 words! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's been enjoying the story. Also, from the most recent chapter, here's an unused sketch Green was working on for me. We ended up not using it because it was supposed to be Twilight in the scene with Turing, but I still happen to think Gadget looks pretty cute in it. We might end up properly finishing it at some point.

Well, this is weird.

Comic on Channelate by Ryan Hudson. Beep.

Anyway, "The Iron Horse" will update Sunday. And you just might get another chapter hot on its heels!

That's right... it may just happen!

Okay, I realize not all of you may know what I'm referring to. Well, allow me to explain. Short version: Turing Test is (hopefully) going to be in a video game.

Hey folks! New story is submitted and new chapter should be ready by tomorrow. But in the meantime, I have a few other treats for you all: preview sketches!

First, Green has been practicing drawing Gadget and just showed me a new design for her. I didn't actually ask him for it, but I do love it and will probably find some use of it soon. It might update the one I have for her in chapter 2.

Just a little head's up: I decided to participate in the Hazardous Writing Materials challenge for this week, the prompt being "history." In this case, it'll be more like pre-history.

Hey folks, just letting you know that the new chapter is up. I'm only posting this since FiMFiction seems to have been messing up a bit recently on new chapter notices. I'll delete this later, but, in the meantime, hope you enjoy it!

Also, enjoy butterfly Turing Test from the last chapter as a bonus.

Okay, first thing's first: "The Iron Horse" has its next chapter just about ready. Green just needs to put the finishing touches on the illustration and I want to do some last minute edits, but it looks like it'll go up tomorrow, Sunday, 9/27/15.

And as for other announcements, as per the title, I have been cast in the radio play "Daughter of Discord" by DisneyFanatic23!

Yep, it's real! I had to learn formatting and do a little legwork through the infinite, time-eating vortex that is the TV Tropes website, but it's up and running!

Recently, alert reader JFalk asked about the timeline/timeframe of events in the story so far. So, here's a brief little morning post to discuss it!

Keep in mind, if you are NOT caught up on the story, there will be spoilers about events. If you're caught up to the most recent chapter, "Rhinestone Eyes, Part 1," then you're safe.
