The More Outlandish Theory Being that it was Nightmare Moon Enacting Revenge from Beyond the Planet · 4:02am Apr 10th, 2017

This hoofnote is about Roan, which I know we haven't seen as much of as other cities. Hey, they've been preoccupied.

You Can See it from the Moon, if the Angle is Right · 8:32am Oct 12th, 2016

It's pony Las Vegas.

The tourist industry in Applewood gets its backbone from the princesses and the Elements of Harmony. Celestia and Luna signed all sorts of documents back in the day allowing their likenesses to be represented, but the Elements (the current ones) did not, so advertisements have to be careful not to be too on-the-nose with their depictions. Everyone knows who the white unicorn sipping a drink on the bar's front is supposed to be, though.

For tonight's hoofnote, we're taking another deep dive into the mechanics of magic, this time with sigils.

I Wonder Whether There's a Pony Out There Who Knows She's Just Words on a Page · 6:42am Nov 25th, 2015

This hoofnote concerns anomalous intellects: where they come from, how they work, what kinds there are, and so forth.

No, They're not Supposed to Parallel Actual Religions · 4:50am Jul 21st, 2015

It's a hoofnote, after half a friggin' year.

When the main crew is having fun in Appleloosa, we get a couple mentions of religion. This was actually a tricky decision for me, because I didn't want to potentially cloud this story with any spiritual underpinnings. Ultimately, though, I think a gentle touch will help fill out my world.

The Math Behind it has to be Just Ridiculous · 11:09am Dec 9th, 2014

Hoofnote time. Today, it's elementary Tartarus magic. Twilight tells her pals all about this, but I figured I'd save the nitty-gritty for an adjunct entry.

What Kind of Pony Looks at the Job Description "Fly the Poop Ship" and Says "That's the Job for Me"? · 4:11am Oct 28th, 2014

Looking back, I realized that in one post, I said I would call them hoofnotes, but then totally forgot and called them footnotes right after. My bad, yo. So, this hoofnote is concerning the technology and engineering of Cloudsdale. I touch on it in chapter 31, but this is where I'd really like to sink my teeth into it.

'Tis the Season · 6:57am Aug 26th, 2014

Another footnote, or hoofnote. This one deals with sexual stuff, so, you know, fair warning.

Do our little ponies experience estrus, or have a more human sex drive? This question could come up at pretty much any time, but I'm addressing it now for two reasons. One, it's becoming relevant, and will become even more so in future chapters. Two, if you pay attention to the details, you'll know that right now, it's spring, which is typically when horses begin their estrus cycles.

The Big Empty · 1:49am Jul 15th, 2014

This footnote is pretty heavy on the world-building, and absolutely non-essential if you just take what you read without question. For those who want the details and explanations, however, here we go.

The Subtle Disruption of Disparate Magical Styles · 5:52am Apr 16th, 2014

Another hoofnote. I think I'll call them that from now on. You know, in keeping with the whole pony thing.

A Note on the Science of Phlogiston · 7:59am Mar 23rd, 2014

This is not essential to the story, and can be treated as a footnote. Or a hoofnote. Whatever.

Any energy can be condensed into physical form, given the right conditions. However, this is easiest with heat, giving us phlogiston. Radiation is also fairly easy.

The Introductory Post · 9:38pm Mar 9th, 2014

This is a blog post.

A bit about the story:
It's done. I wrote the whole thing already. What I do is reread and edit as I go, and then post whenever I'm satisfied with a chapter. Therefore, there is no worry about me running out of steam halfway through, or writing myself into a corner, or anything like that. I'm not going to make any promises regarding consistency of updates, because life, but I don't think we're looking at month-long waits here.

A bit about the author (that's me):
