Yo all. Hope you've all had a happy new year! If not, well then... hope this announcement will make you smile.
So, it's been a long time since I've actually published any new fanfiction. I've just been busy with life and am getting into the career tango. Finding work, and then working. This has all made me very aware that I'm going to be well... I might not have the time to write fanfiction. There's also the matter that I want to write an original story and get it published.
Hi all,
This is an announcement from your friendly neighbourhood vren55 with some good news. I am planning to be at the Vanhoover (Vancouver, Canada) pony Expo convention in January 2019 probably from January 11-13. So if you happen to be a local and want to meet me, well come on XD
So our usual go-to artist Nova Quill aka Firimil's taking a while on the Samudra's Journal, side story cover for perfectly understandable reasons. But for the moment, Zerv and I need a cover for the side-story Samudra's Journal. Does anybody have any suggestions for who to look for, or is anybody interested in doing one?
*cough*
So, if you have checked Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen, we have a fantastic new cover courtesy of Plainoasis. Seriously, go add him to your deviantart watch list. He is aaaamazing.
So when I asked people if they wanted to read my story, I attempted to write a short fictionpress.com limited word count blurb that... wasn't very good. I edited the one i had up, but also decided I should post a longer, far more entertaining blurb for my readers. Here it is:
The Bloody Crown
I fully intend to finish Samudra's Journal, but I'm transitioning from fanfiction writing to original novelling and job searching (cause I cannot live with parents forever). I also need to finish that Griffin War thing and post a bunch of supplementary histories into the "Princess Celestia the Changeling Queen: Behind the scenes" story so stay tuned for that. That does mean I'm unlikely to do the Slice of Life thing that I wanted to do for Alternia moving forward after ECQ&tAE, but I might do
So, I'm on holiday for a while. I'll have internet, I'll be on, though not so much for the first week. Expect continued updates of Samudra's Journal because I have lots of pre-written chapters as Zervziel will attest. In the meantime, enjoy.
The Equestrian Civil War
Other names: The Rebellion of Gladius Greatwing, The Cloudsdale Rebellion
Excerpt from Bookworm's A New History of Equestria
The Expansion of Equestria under the Alternia Regency
I did kind of do a reflection of sorts on the end of Chapter 29 of ECQ&tAE, but I think I'll do a more general one for my blog.
Well... my second long story on this site is completed. ECQ&tAE, done, finished, with perhaps one lazy slice of life for Alternia and the gang down the pipe.
So the AMA was really fun, a little random, but really fun, just to remind you all, if you do want to chat or leave a question, the server is going to stay up.

So a few announcements.
Equestria's Changeling Queen and the Abyssal Empress Chapter 27: Hysteria and Serenity is being sent back to me from pre-readers and I'm looking it over for a Monday release. I've also slammed some words into the next few chapters and the Epilogue.
So I've made art compilations before (Earlier art compilation), but frankly, there's one particular artist who's done the most work on the Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen series, particularly on its seaquel (hahahahah, never gets old) Equestria's Changeling Queen and the Abyssal Empress, and most of it without me specifically asking her to.
After I asked for songs a few days ago, I got so many I really don't need to go to youtube for a while XD. Now here's a reward!
Nova Quill aka Firimil wanted a prompt to draw something so I said, Chamelia and the daughters, sad. So she drew and colored Chamelia and the kiddy Chrysalis, Alternia, Simulacris and Belladonna crying over his battered helmet.
So, if you haven't noticed, my updates have kinda been all over the place.
This is because I just recently became a Masters of Arts Student in History in London, Ontario and am trying to study/work my butt off so I can stay nice and ahead and hopefully get my research papers (long and short) done and finished, as well as keep on top of my readings.
Firimil's aka Nova Quill has done it again and made more art!!! Give her a fav cause these are great!
This is something Zervziel requested... his basic premise was "a kelpie meeting Flurry Heart." and Firimil made well... Flurry Heart playing with Ebb Flow.
So a little while ago, I talked about the Voices of Princess Celestia: the Changeling Queen in a blog post, and who'd I'd cast for all my original characters.
Here are a few more:
Captain Buzz
VA options: Jeff Bennet, Michael Weatherly
