In going over a few things, I realize that it makes little sense that Sunset and Moondancer are marefriends in the tagged fic, despite the fact that Sunset should be several years older.

Well, she is, but Dancer isn't all that off. Even though she's closer in age to Twilight, she was still at least a year and a half Twilight's senior. In age at least; Twilight had naturally skipped a few brackets due to her being such a dedicated student.

Hey all.

I just wanted to give out a little bit more than I usually do when it comes to my fics. Since the most recent chapter was in response to a user post, I felt that you all deserved to know a bit more as to how that particular chapter was shaped.

Just posted another chapter for PSDAL. Boy has it been awhile; I started this one back in May of last year, and this is the first time I've written anything for it since November.

Has it been that long? Huh. Talk about a real dry spell.

In any case, expect more in the future; now that LRSF is where it needs to be, I can finally get the next few chapters for this fic done.

For those of you who are following my stories, you might have noticed that Princess of Shadows, Darkness, and Light and The Legend of Ponyville's Sky Dancer are now marked as being on Hiatus.

I'm suspending writing on both until I get the next few chapters of my first two fics done. What this will likely mean is that there won't be a chapter released for PSDAL until after the holidays, or whenever I get the next two or three chapters in LRSF done.

I've just noticed that the video that inspired Princess of Shadows, Darkness, and Light is now marked private on You Tube.

I'm not sure why, though it's likely something that the original creator did.

Sorry about that all.

I'll leave the links active, in case that changes. I'll also update this blog if and when that status changes.

Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.

After much debate, my muse and I have decided to drop the Comedy tag for PSDAL and LRSF.

This was a hard decision, as humor is an important and integral part of the world I'm building.

However, the tag just doesn't fit any more, especially where PSDAL is concerned.

The flavor of humor in these stories is more along the line of Slice of Life; I can't include that tag because of site rules, as these are still adventure stories.

Yes, it's short.

Sue me.

This last chapter is as short as it is because it's a bridge between chapters. It also helps to show that, even in the midst of their own demonically fueled problems, Celestia and Luna still wanted the best for their ponies.

In addition, this one was a bit of clean-up; everything that will be happening from now on will be from outside of Equestria; the big bad simply has nopony left on his side now that Lady Lemyre is gone.

New chapter is up. I discussed it in the lengthy Author's Note. Nothing special here; this is just an alert for those that are following me.

Next chapter is up. Nothing to say here; already said everything of worth in the Author's Note.

Next chapter is up. Deviating a bit from how I usually do updates; from now on, I'm going to have a small blog post as an alert. The other blog is getting to be a little long.

There are a few things that went through my mind when writing this chapter. The one thing that sticks out was this first one though.

Why in the hell did I feel the need to use Applejack as a punching bag? I know she can be stubborn, but so can Rainbow Dash.

So, here's the thing. For my little AU, there are a few plot devices and episodes that never happened. And there are some that happened a little differently. I attribute that the period between the start of the show and the first Hearth's Warming to be somewhere in the ball park of three to five years.

So here's the breakdown of episodic changes.

Yeah, I know what you're all thinking...

With an opening like that, you're all wondering, what does jwizard have planned now?

Simple, really.

I've been spending the last few days trying to figure out where I'm going with the companion fic to PSDAL (Princess of Shadows, Darkness, and Light, my first mlp fic. I'm only going to say the acronym once!). There's a lot of reasons why I really want to write it, though I'm struggling right now.

Writers' block.

I just finished writing the third chapter for this fic, and it is LONG. It's twice as long as the other two chapters, and contains a lot of world building. Now, I had originally intended to keep each chapter under 1,500 words or so, to make it a little easier to read. But, this one wouldn't let go. Every time I turned around, new ideas kept on adding on top of the others, until it went well past 4,000 words. So, I may end up splitting it into several smaller chunks; or not, depending on what my

I always wondered about those people that claimed a story just jumped up and bit them in the butt, begging to be written. I never put much stock into such tales though. After all, a fiction story is, well, just a story. And then, this happened...
