Bucky's first Hearth's Warming Eve... well, that actually matters to him.

The first day of winter, where Celestia will surrender control of the season to Bucky. Wait, was that a teaser?

The first day of spring, where Bucky surrenders the season to Celestia.

Bucky's solution to House Avarice and what he does with them.

Thistle giving birth. Which will be during the winter...

Bucky's reaction to a mare screaming and giving birth.

“I will be your patron, but there are some conditions before I agree completely,” Bucky announced as he lifted his head as high as he could. Several of the mares were actually taller than he was and he felt mildly annoyed with himself.

“Well, let us know what we need to do, we expect to earn it!” Sour Mash bellowed.

So, the mares of the Isles might have started a fight club.

And might have been secretly beating the snot out of one another for quite some time, learning how to fight.

And there might be troubling details that may leak out over time, including the story of how Sour Mash lost her front tooth to her best friend.

Expect some comedy that you might be ashamed to laugh at. Or not. Who knows.

One question per post.

Be specific.

No trolling questions.

(Most) characters don't know the future.

There might be minor teasers or spoilers.

Questions to the author are aye-okay

Have fun, and Pina is napping, so questions of a more frank and adult nature are good to go!

No, not in brutal combat silly...

Just in wacky antics.

Ponyville could endure one group...

Dinky's talent is controlling bugs. The bees are of course her special spell, but insect control is what she does, and does better than any other unicorn.

Changelings are bugs.

Discuss.

Eventually, it will be revealed that Pina is not alone with having a thaumaturgical system, that there are in fact earth ponies with such systems. It is the source of various super senses, and, for certain earth ponies, the means of greatly enhanced strength, as well as the reason why they can punch and shatter stones. (Maud)

This is going to cause something of a revolution.

After the last chapter of The Chase.

Quick, post pictures of happy ponies.

Or something. I dunno.

Right now, I feel how Maud looks.

Coming rather soonish, there is going to be a major event taking place to a character in The Chase that is probably going to floor people in much the same way that Berry Punch declaring war floored people. I am making this post to ask people to have a bit of understanding and patience.

So, I was wondering, what are the most memorable moments in The Chase, and what did I do that made them memorable? What was said, or done, or described that made that moment stand out? I am always hoping to improve my craft and I'd like to know what I did right so I can do more of it.

On the other side of the coin, what were moments that you hated, but kept reading, I mean the emotional gut checks that come from time to time...

One question per post.

Be specific.

Be respectful.

Be creative!

Don't say anything that might make Pina cry.

Questions to the author (myself) are welcomed, but should be story specific. If there is anything you need clarified, now is the time.

Lunicorn.

Discuss. Speculate. Criticise.

So, even though I have no plans what so ever to ever place this into The Chase, I thought I'd quit giving misleading answers about Alt-Bucky and reveal what happened. So far, I've said a number of very misleading things. And for good reason. I wanted people to speculate and draw theories.

And so, to finally put the oft repeated idea that Alt-Bucky is behind the wolves to rest, I offer you this snippet as a gift.

I can see the end from here.

I grossly miscalculated just how long this arc was going to be. It is turning out much longer than I had planned, and I didn't fully understand just how much work I had to do here. How much character growth and development I had keep track of because of the enormous cast.

I actually get really happy when people point out character flaws... or make criticisms of how characters are. Like recently in the comments for The Chase, somebody raked Derpy over the coals. And rightfully so. I work very hard to put in flaws. Mistakes. Character issues that make a character less than perfect.

So having them recognised makes me feel really happy when people point out why so and so is wrong for doing whatever.
