Game Over: Why Turing Test Probably Beat Big Mac · 9:49pm Mar 9th, 2016

So, in the last chapter of "The Iron Horse," Turing Test played a game of Reversi against Big Mac. She lost the first, but won the second, and was going to play a third. Did she win?

Well, I never did say. But what I will say is this: Turing Test never makes the same mistake twice. Well, at least not when it comes to something she can understand mathematically.

"The Iron Horse": DELETED SCENE! - The Reaper · 1:27am Mar 8th, 2016

This is a scene that was cut from the latest chapter of "The Iron Horse" (which is up now, by the way!). I thought it was funny and it was a little bit of an homage to the character of Death from the late, great Sir Terry Pratchett's "Discworld" series. Unfortunately, it didn't really fit in with the rest of the narrative, so I cut it, but here it is for your

Updates and New Marble Pie Story! · 6:25pm Mar 6th, 2016

First and foremost, for my "Iron Horse" readers who have been quite patient, I am happy to report that the next chapter is just about ready to go. It just needs one more look-over and a completed illustration. It should go up, if all goes well, by tomorrow.

"John Henry?" Not quite... · 4:26am Feb 18th, 2016

Rather than do a big ol' comment response to the latest chapter, "Apple Computer, Part 1," I thought I'd just do a blog post to address a common line of commentary/inquiry/criticism. If you haven't read that far, you might not want to read this.

Called It! · 6:55am Feb 17th, 2016

So, I was going back through one of the previous chapters of "The Iron Horse" and came across the following:

Just then, Pinkie, still in her Fluttershy costume, suddenly bounced over, waving her hooves to get Twilight’s attention. “Twilight, omigosh, here come Lyra and Bon Bon!” Pinkie pointed and Twilight followed until she spotted the pair.

"The Iron Horse" Updates Soon! · 7:01pm Feb 14th, 2016

Howdy, folks! Looks like I'm going to have to slightly fudge on my "2 weeks" deadline for the next chapter. It's all written and just needs editing and an illustration (which I think is very cute, by the way), so it should be good to go either tomorrow or the day after (Monday or Tuesday, respectively).

The Secret Code Solution Revealed! · 11:22pm Jan 31st, 2016

Well, the new chapter is up and unfortunately nobody found the correct solution to the secret code I've been posting. :fluttershysad: I intended it to be difficult, but I hadn't counted on it being so tough that nobody would get it. Anyway, if you haven't read the latest chapter of The Iron Horse, "Technologic, Part 4," then the rest of this post is a spoiler. Proceed at your own risk!


Okay, so here, once again, is the code:

You read right! The last chapter of the Trottingham Arc drops tomorrow. In fact, I'm aiming for around midday, early afternoon in US Central time, so you won't even have to wait for the evening... unless you're in the UK or Europe, which obviously some of you are. :twilightsheepish:

Wow. I really expected folks to go with shipping, but I am pleasantly surprised to see that so many of you love Applejack just as much as I do!

No, not that kind! ...Although yeah, I do like that kind of Applejack too. I might just have to make me a Jack Collins to celebrate here. :ajsmug:

But no, I mean this kind!

The Next Arc of "The Iron Horse?" YOU decide! · 6:30am Jan 28th, 2016

Hey folks! So, the next chapter of the Iron Horse should release either Sunday or Monday (haven't decided which yet). But after that, well, I haven't quite decided.

First, though, there is one thing I need to get out of the way, and I know not everyone is going to like it: I have decided, after much consideration, not to do a chapter in the Equestria Girls universe.

Updated Artwork: "Sad Turing Test in a Puddle" · 12:57am Jan 6th, 2016

Back in the chapter "Electric Ladyland, Part 2," Turing Test gets rained on by a cloud enchanted by Discord. It ruins her brand new coat of paint and she experiences sadness for the first time. :fluttershysad: Well, Mr. Green has caught up on some of the artwork and we now have an illustrated version of that scene that has been added to the chapter!

"The Iron Horse" Updates Tomorrow (12/29)! · 12:10am Dec 29th, 2015

Hello everyone! How was your holiday? Or are you still having them?

Well, the chapter is complete, but I wanted to give my editors a little extra time over the holidays to give some feedback and I still want to make some changes. Plus, Green hasn't been feeling well and he's a bit behind on the chapter illustration, and I like to have new chapters with an illustration, if possible. So, the update will be tomorrow, most likely between 4 and 6 pm U.S. Central Time.
