And Here. We. Go… · 8:05am Nov 7th, 2015
This blog won't be attached to any story, so it'll kinda be a crapshoot as to who if anyone reads it. But I need to get it off my chest, which is what matters more.

From now on, no Author's Notes will be included in future chapters of Wandering Through Realities unless necessary.
Author's Notes can crowd and distract the natural flow of things. So, anything else I might want to say will be in the form of trusty blog posts, for your backstage drama needs!

I'm thinking of splitting up the next chapter of Her Majesty's Hidden Swords: one part for "normal happenings" one part for "Tom Clancy spy novel knockoff." Thing is, the slice-of-life stuff isn't very long; maybe only...2000 words? Bare minimum 1000. If I make the next chapter a filler chapter, I can't imagine anyone who's actually interested in the story (and if the downvotes are anything to go by, not many) will like it.
Today I made a small (?) edit to "The Blue and the Gray". I decided to upgrade its reader rating from everyone to teen. I hope that this didn't inconvenience any of my readers out there, but I had to wonder if some of my recent use of profanity had disqualified my story from at least some of the audience out there. Yeah, I know, does anyone running this operation ever proofread this thing and catch stuff like this. Personally, I doubt it. But it felt like the right thing to do.
This blog post will contain big spoilers for the last two chapters of A Survey, which I've just published. So don't read this unless you're caught up.
'Thalassophobia' Notes
-This story was inspired by my own very real, very deep fear. Ever since childhood, I've always been terrified of deep water. Probably stems from when I nearly drowned in a water park's wavepool when I was seven or eight. To this day, I can't physically get in water I can't see the bottom of without hyperventilating.
CHAPTER 3: For Ages 3+ Does not include Figurines
Have you ever noticed how most toys don't contain the figurines? You always have to buy them separately. This chapter's title also references the fact that Rainbow is noticing more background ponies or 'extras'. 3+ is the usual age marking on the boxes for kids' toys.
It's an old joke about where the other half of the cockroach is when you find half a cockroach in your meal. Noodles in this case, because China.
CHAPTER 4: You buy One you get One Free
The chapter title comes, again, from a well-known British advert; this time from Safestyle Windows, who were infamous for their wacky product advisers who screamed the mantra 'You buy One, you get One Free!' multiple times in the advert.
Have to go to bed, but I have a lot of free time before work so I plan to focus on attempting (at least partially) to get the first scene done in the next few days.
The story is actually based on my thoughts after seeing a fic use the colour-swapped Rainbow Dash pony picture. Not sure what I'd been eating that day, but it must've been good.
CHAPTER 1: 9/10 Customers can't tell the Difference
The chapter title is a reference to old British adverts that stated that 8 out of 10 cats preferred Whiskas.
As always, a big thanks to my pre-readers! AShadowOfCygnus, metallusionismagic, and MSPiper!
Hope it wasn't too Rocky!
Eh. Get it. Rocky. Boxing. ... It is funny!
Anyway! Here is your Boxing Day gift for all you good readers. A preview of my TWP change notes.
Chapter 10 is in the pipeline, it's just taking longer then I would like due to general life issues (the fact that I live/work in the Seattle area not withstanding). It will be done soon, and hopefully I can start picking up the pace.
Happy Mother's Day out there to all the fabulous fimfiction Mamas! And (Of Course) Happy Mother's Day to our MLP Mom's who obviously raised their kiddos right!
Also, to the best of my research, all the facts presented in this story are actual facts. Well, except that it turns out that the Alliance, NE McDonald’s isn’t a participating restaurant.
So, I'm working on trying to create a universe for my OC's, but I'm not getting very far, so this'll be one of hopefully many blogs to come about my universe.
