Of course. I forgot that my second pilot is the sister of Pinkie Pie. There’s no way to turn thirty in this town without all the citizens waiting for you in your fridge. Everypony is here, even Rarity. Last two years were kinda interesting for her – she found that Sparkler is her lost twin sister and then gave birth to a crystal pony. We still wonder who is the father. Sparkler is strangely quiet about that.

“What are you doing here?” I ask, trying to act surprised.

After over two years of writing, Minuette Part II: Mummies, Tentacles, and Shit concludes at 15 chapters and slightly over 147k words. While I do believe this universe isn't done yet (well, no universe truly is, except maybe the one started with Sleepless, because that'd be jumping the shark, except the shark exists in fifteen dimensions), it diverted from canon spectacularly (I swear, if it wasn't such a pain in the arse, I'd go all the way back to Way To Go, Minuette, Way To

... because the new chapter of Minuette is huge. And it involves enough explosions to make Michael Bay proud.

And for those who prefer smaller size, I'm gonna publish a new story today. The first chapter is about ten times shorter than new Minuette and it involves a couple of foals becoming superheroes against all odds.

Including the fact that they're probably least suited to be ones...

...just casually reached 11k words. With about two or three more needed to wrap it up That pony surely does love adventuring.

Originally, those were supposed to be in the author's note at the end of the chapter, but since they got out of control, I decided to make it a separate blog of various trivia I learned while writing the last chapter (for such a wacky story, research takes a lot of time. Assuming that you can call googling various oddities "research"):

The new chapter of Minuette may appear soon. Partially because I realised that trying to cover both the rest of the trip to Maneaus and events there would result in a chapter exceeding the previous one in length. Thus, the new chapter will have a reasonable wordcount of 7-10k words. The exact date depends on the craziness of the current week. If everything goes well, I may either write a lot or be too drunk to put a sentence together.

Because part of why the last chapter took me so long was because I was drawing stuff from it instead of writing.

I don't know where you went... But I'll find you and kill you!

It's actually a chapter 2 pic, with Minuette telling Pinchy that she definitely can't go with them.

Like, 2k more and I'm finished with this chapter, I swear.

Last chapter of Minuette (published on 31st March):

“Not really, since the air from your wings still pushes against the floor,” I reply. “Also, flying in a non-inertial reference frame–”

“Stop talking physics to me,” Daring Do mutters. “I’m a writer.”

Roughly 48 hours later...
