And it could not come at a better time. I have not had a good day, at all.

So... about that contest with The Weed. I have come to a decision.
Because I like the various OCs presented and because there were a manageable number of them, I have decided to use them all. So... everybody wins. Expect to see them showing up at various points during The Weed.
Thank you for participating and making this contest a blast.
Read The Weed? Eagerly await new updates? Want to see more of the world? Want to be part of the world? (Well, you can start by asking questions... remember, the comment section for The Weed is an active Q&A session where you can ask Maud and Tarnished Teapot questions and even suggest places to go) But to be an active part of the world...
Here is your chance! In an effort to get more reader participation going for The Weed, I have come up with a contest.
The Weed cleared 100,000 words. I honestly don't know how this happened. I intended for The Weed to be long, but I didn't expect so much story so soon. I only have the barest sense of a plan for the story itself. I know how it ends. The adventures in the middle are anybody's guess. I don't know what is going to happen, but I plan to explore Equestria.
So... I cooked up the properties of poison joke, giving it some fun real world compounds.
I started to listen to this.
Suddenly, everything was in perfect clarity. I knew what I needed to listen to so I could better express Tarnished Teapot's and Maud Pie's love. quirky Leonard Cohen love songs. Mang, all of a sudden, I was feeling the love.
An excerpt from The Weed.
“Let’s go. We need to salvage this day somehow. This day has been awful,” Maud said as she started forwards once more. Her ears poked forwards, angled over her eyes. Her face was utterly devoid of any sort of expression of grim determination.
Here is a helpful and handy chart to help you out!
Now we progress on to other things. Other locations. A bit more adventure.
We're also about to hit fifty chapters. I do hope that folks are enjoying the story so far. It doesn't get the same level of planning as that other story. The Weed only has a few threads I run with and then make up various details as I go along. This story has been a blast to write, and I do hope that folks are happy with it.
Here's to the next fifty chapters!
And with this, a much needed explanation. For those reading, there are some lingering questions. Who is Tarnished Teapot's father? Why did his mother do what she did? Why was Twilight Sparkle acting so funny in the beginning? When will we be getting back to adventuring?
Answers are coming... soon.
“Dinner is almost done… fire roasted corn, canned chili beans, and cornbread with little spicy pepper bits cooked in a cast iron camp oven… mmm, mmm, mmm!” Pinkie Pie announced.
Igneous raised an eyebrow. “Did somepony say chili beans?” The older stallion licked his lips and then turned his attention upon the fire where dinner was cooking. “Wait, what sort of chili did we buy, anyhow?”
“Monty Puma’s Revenge Chili,” Cloudy Quartz replied.
I like this. I do.
Edit: Bonus pic!
This is an except taken from The Weed.
The chapter is coming soon.
Some ponies are known by their reputations.
The Weed is going to be a bit of an experiment for me, I'll admit. I'll say it right up front, it is not being planned. Well, certain elements are planned, but the story itself is not well thought out. It is more of a 'let's see what Kudzu Haiku can write on a whim' kind of story.
The story will have a few rules.
