Chapter 86, as promised, everypony! It's a little shorter than my average at thirteen pages, but not too bad. Family reunions are fun to write! Auramirror is definitely an interesting character, that's for sure. Undoubtedly the last Original Character to be added to the story for a while, however. I usually don't insert them unless they're critical for the actual storyline, obviously. The flashback to Mender's parents doesn't count however, as obviously due to time frame involved, they

Just wanted to let everypony know that I'll be getting the proofed chapter back tonight, so it will go out tomorrow afternoon instead of today. Kiro has an appointment to get to and then company later in the form of his editor, Julia, so unfortunately there's not a lot of time to post today anyway. I hope everypony's having a good day, and I'll see you all tomorrow!

Hullo everypony! Rather large chapter this time, especially after all the revisions I shoved into it yesterday evening. I'm far happier with it now, however, and feel like it's in a state fit for release! It shall go up in a few minutes. I don't have too much more to report other than that I'm upping my dosage of thyroid medication and getting vitamin D suppliments to hopefully make me not as tired anymore. Turns out that both of those were tanking on me, which might be leading to some of

I got the chapter back from Julia yesterday, and only afterwards realized I wanted to do a couple more extensive revisions to it afterwards. Further, a proofreader isn't finished with it yet either, on account of this being a big chapter. Further further, I only managed about four hours of sleep last night, and the revisions are going really, really slowly. I think I might take a nap before tackling them any further. There's a high probability of this delaying the chapter until tomorrow

Sorry again that it was late, everypony. As an added Hearth's Warming bonus, you get a super big chapter today! I'll attempt to get to all of the PMs lagging behind in my inbox by tomorrow as well. No Censorship Pending release this time, however. Sorry! I guess there can't be sexy fun times in every chapter. Anyways, chapter 84 goes up in a few minutes!

I apologize ahead of time, everypony. Due to the wonderful holiday season and some... annoying... family issues, today's chapter might be delayed until tomorrow instead. Not sure yet, but 80% or so likely. Just wanted to give everypony the heads up. Also, I'm going to attempt to catch up on my massive lag of private messages this weekend if I have time. I'm sorry for the delays all around, everypony.

Hullo everypony! Sorry about the later in the day release this time. Experiencing some very frustrating technical issues at the moment which are seriously slowing me down. Regardless, Forgiveness Pending and Censorship Pending will be updated in a few minutes. I hope everypony's having a good weekend so far!

Hullo everypony! Just wanted to let you know that my editor, Julia, is bringing the chapter out today, so unfortunately, I don't have it yet. It'll have to be released tomorrow afternoon instead. This week's another Censorship Pending chapter too, very much for real this time!

Hullo everypony! I'm late! I'm terribly sorry about the lateness of my post today. Kiro's having stomach issues today and was greatly delayed in... pretty much everything planned for today, including this. Regardless, both chapters are set now and ready to be released! They'll be up in a few minutes, hopefully.

. . .

Please don't kill me.

Hullo everypony. Just to inform you, as of this writing, I don't yet have the edits back from today's chapter. The chapters needing censoring always take a little bit longer however, so this was expected. The chapter will be released tomorrow instead, assuming there are no unexpected disastrous delays. I hope everypony's doing well and having a good day.

Hiya, everypony. Me again! This time to announce the proper release of Chapter 80, only slightly late despite my brain screwing up the dates. Not going to have time to do comment replies for the blogs until tomorrow though, as I have company coming over in a few minutes. I figured it was better off to get the chapter out to everypony instead. I hope you all had an excellent Nightmare Night, and enjoy the chapter!

Okay, so coupled with two nights of insomnia in a row, I totally just brain error crashed that this week was release week. I actually have a perfectly good chapter to release too, but it's far too late now. I'm going to try to get it posted tomorrow... er... today...? instead before company comes over. I'm sorry, everypony! Good night.

Here's Chapter 79 for you. Getting so close to three digits! But no, we probably won't see them. Not unless I expand what I have a lot. Ah well! We'll have to wait and see. For once, this time, I have nothing to report on the sickness front, bad lock, horrible accidents, my computer deleting itself, or getting bucked in the face by an angry blue pony! It's kind of shocking. My day seems empty when I'm not suffering unbearably now. Still, it feels like I'm forgetting something

Hullo everypony! Sorry for the short notice, but I forgot to mention that I won't be able to post today's chapter until tomorrow! I'm sorry. Julia's literally out here right now to deliver the proof and it should be set for tomorrow. I was considering posting it absurdly late tonight instead, but... meh. Nopony would probably read it until tomorrow anyway if I did that! Kiro is silly sometimes. Anyway, I hope everypony's having a good day! See you tomorrow.

It's that time again, and this time in specific, I'm actually on time! That's kinda meta, but makes me happy anyway. Today's release is part two of two for the journal entries. In case there are a few ponies still confused, this is a theatrical reading of Gemstone Weave's journal. She obviously didn't actually write it like this, but it's more a flashback as Mender reads. Next chapter shall resume our usual Mender antics. Also, both of these chapters are slightly shorter than

Here's the new chapter, everypony. Nothing super special to announce this time around apart from me getting over the illness that invaded my every waking moment for the past week or so. Thankfully without additional accidents even! It unfortunately hugely slowed down my writing however, and as this was a huge chapter anyway, I decided to split it into two pieces to give all you wonderful ponies something to read instead for this week. So enjoy the first half of the journal! Oh, and this

Here's a quick update for everypony. I'm still sick but feeling a little better at least. There was a complication with the steroid the doctor gave me to reduce inflammation in my throat however. Ended up having a reaction and stumbling, then stabbing my foot into the dog kennel. Curses! Blood loss! My one weakness! Anyway, I did manage to get a chapter for everypony for this week, but Julia's out of town until Saturday, so I won't actually get it back until Saturday or Sunday. I'll

Okay everypony, Chapter 76 is going up shortly. I've fallen behind a bit, but I'll let everypony know ahead of time if delays are needed in the future. I... don't handle stress very well at all. One of my many personal flaws I guess. Trying to get back into school and repeatedly meeting failure on every front has left me jittery and losing sleep at night now, so I haven't been able to focus as well as normal on my writing. The majority of that has passed thankfully, but I'll keep ponies

Okay, after much technical difficulties, 75 is finally here. The version got corrupted twice, and we had to switch transfer methods, but I finally managed to get the full revisions from my editor and the chapter will go up in a few minutes, once I format it for online viewing. :)

Yay! I'm on time this week! I've also managed to smash through another hard chapter, and they're only getting more and more difficult given that important things are starting to happen. I'm also working on two side projects now, with at least one of which I've told everypony about already. That said, the outtakes for Memory Pending are almost completed, and can probably be released within the next one or two updates. So I should probably ask. Poll time!
