Grrrrr!

Both Tartarus Forged and Hero Souls: Awakening are giving me fits. I seem to have hit a wall made of writer's blocks regarding them, so I'm just gonna shove them in a corner for now and see if I can't get one of my other ideas going. Maybe after a month or two I'll come back to them and see if I can do anything with some fresh eyes.

This is the official announcement. Tartarus Forged and Hero Souls: Awakening are going into Hiatus until further notice.

It was brought to my attention by amiamera that Tartarus Forged is becoming one of those slow paced stories. Not by update, but by progression of events. I mean, we're still on the second episode nineteen chapters in! What the heck? I'm kind of embarrassed that this never occurred to me until now.

I have come to the decision that Tartarus Forged will have five Arcs.

1. Eternal Night
2. Order in Chaos
3. In Plain Sight
4. Shadow of Insanity
5. Magic Unbound

After that, the story will end. I will not be detailing any of the Seasons after the fifth.

At long last!

I did announce this back a little ways, but this chapter indeed took me much longer than I would have liked. I don't have an excuse for that; I admit I did have this particular section scripted since that Discord conversation.

So, a couple things to go over here.

I admit it. I messed up. I completely forgot about how Chapter One ended originally, and ended up stopping the new Chapter One earlier than I should have. However, as I said in the author's note, I pushed just a little too hard to finish the new Chapter One and wound up burning myself out. When I feel the urge to continue it, that's the first thing I'll do.

I bet you didn't figure you'd see this story updated in your feed ever.

So I'm blocked, a bit.

I've got this Act 2 prologue, right? I know exactly how it goes down. I know who's involved, I know the beginning, middle and end, I know who the POV is, who the antagonist is, what the scenario is, and how it all pans out.

It's the damned details, you know?

As of Feb 3 before midnight, I've published 39,742 words to Sunset Shimmer Goes to Hell. The Pages document source is now at 67,000 words. I project I have about 5,000 more words to write to complete the novel, but who knows? Exciting characters demand to tell their stories, and I've a feeling a couple of the mane six may make cameo appearances.

The following is a dramatis personae of my latest story, Brat Out of Tartarus. Some spoilers for the story, at least in terms of who shows up.

I've been trying to write for the last few days, and it's really just not coming to me. The most I've gotten done is a little work on Luna's Character Sheet and an idea regarding Pinkie/Frisk. Nothing for Tartarus Forged either, other than a vague idea of what I want to happen soon.

Seriously, I'm talking potentially major plot-point stuff here. If you don't want to be spoiled, DON'T READ IT!!!

That said, if you feel up to helping, head on down the line. Just remember, these are potential spoilers. You have been warned.

Over a thousand years ago, two ponies bearing the combined traits of Unicorns, Earth Ponies, and Pegasi appeared in Terra. Seeing how ravaged Terra was, they set out to show the inhabitants of this world how to turn the frozen wastes of their home into a brilliant world of Harmony.

Seriously, I just thought I'd let you guys know that things are smoothing out over here, but it's still a bit of a mess. The worst of it is over though, so yeah.

I'm in between jobs right now, so that's going to slow me down. The good news is that I may have a solution to that next month, so wish me luck.

Gen called me fat.

Well not in so many words, she pulled me to the side and we chatted about my Snackerfice habits.

I just nodded along in the kitchen, holding a box of Wheat Thins in one hand, a Bottle of Squeeze Cheese in the other.

( This combo is my own personal high heaven.)

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Question of the Week, the part of the blog where I ask you a question or questions for the week.

This week, I have what will hopefully be a fun little question for you all. Feel free to let your imagination explode with this one.

If there was a restaurant (or diner) in Tartarus/the Underworld, what would it be called? And what food would it serve?

First of all, a big thanks to badninja for providing some help. Tartarus Forged has a direction for the Eternal Night arc now thanks to him.

So, first of all, I've submitted a new story that's currently being reviewed by the moderators. Just a quick little thing, similar to Small Changes, that will once in a while get some attention. Keep an eye out for that.

Right, I've been gone a couple months, but I'm back with a something that hopefully looks a little better. I'm not nearly as stuck as I was with the previous version of Chapter Eight, and the only reason I'm posting this now is threefold.

1: To let you all know I live and am working on Tartarus Forged.
2: To get your opinion on the new version of Chapter Eight, which will be below.

So, those migraines were a bit of foreshadowing for my immediate future. I'm not terribly sick, but just sick enough to hate life at the moment. Woke up sneezing like an O2 tank with a faulty valve, my head feels like it's stuffed with cotton, I have a stuffed up nose, and it's hard to focus.

Bleh...

So, I picked up and read through the Journal of the Two Sisters, mostly to try to decide for the final pass whether it should be Three Tribes or three tribes. I learned a couple things, one of which was that I'm overall not going to be matching their capitalization; it reads like they're saying Unicorn is to British, not unicorn is to human, but that doesn't work for me; I'll chalk it up to the gulf of time if I have to do so.
