After 8 years, Myths and Birthrights has been marked with the 'Completed' tag.

It has been a long, arduous, and amazing journey writing this story. There were more than a few times that I didn't think I'd every finish, that it would just fizzle away like almost every other novel or multi-chapter story I've tried to write. 'Sins of the Ancients', in particular, haunted me, and I was very concerned that Myths would suffer the same fate.

It's being worked on, I promise! It's just very slow going due to the usual host of factors, and a few unexpected ones.

First up, I just want to thank everyone for all the wonderful support, comments, and interest in the latest chapter of Myths, and Longest Night. May be surprising, but I see almost as many new comments and likes on Longest Night as I do Myths whenever a new chapter is published.

I really don't know how to start this blog off, so I'll just try to jump straight into it; I'm broke and terrified of asking for donations.

So, I was linked this video this morning, and it is so perfect! Recommend watching with Closed Captioning on.

I busted out laughing at the 'No es no! x300' bit thinking of my Zeus and his pursuit of Celestia.

So, after much thought, I'm opting to try something new, and open the first half of the next chapter of Myths up to public viewing and comments. This is fairly raw stuff, and I'm trying to get a feel as to whether or not I am on the right trajectory with Twilight's arc. Comments can be posted here or on the chapter itself (If I set up right...). If I don't get to them right away, it is because this weekend I am moving and as such rather busy.

Sorry for the long wait on new chapters of Myths. Things in real life continue to be very hectic and unpredictable. At present I am finally settled a bit at my other-brother's place down in Illinois and have cracked open the files for Myths.

Here is the long and the short of it; there is going to be another delay. Hey now, put down those pitchforks! No need to light them torches over there!

Wow, can't believe 2018 is over. Thank the gods. What a dumpster fire the last few months have been. All personal stuff, but it has and could have a huge impact on writing. But, that is neither here nor there. You probably want to know what is going on with Myths, and possibly the assorted side-stories.

Well, Chapters 18 and 19 are both complete and in the stage of being edited. I'm tweaking things around as needed, and I want to be a little extra thorough with the edits this time.

I've decided to go in an make some alterations to the latest chapter in order to either tone-down or outright remove the 'prophecy'. It is just a bit too much of an anvil/blunt force exposition, and spoils too much potential tension from the finale. Looking back at things, I think it would have undergone more revisions if that part of the chapter had seen more attention. Most of the editorial focus tended to be on Twilight's part, and the first bit of Fleur's portion of the chapter. I put a

The latest commission is finished! It sure has been a while since I got any new artwork made for Myths, hasn't it? Depicting Twilight from an upcoming, not-too distant chapter, Nalesia has really outdone herself this time. I love what she's done with the, admittedly overreaching, request I made. She came up with a few things while working on this piece that I've since added into upcoming chapters, such as the scrolls.

I thought it high time to bring up something that has been on my mind for a while, especially so since the last chapter; should Zubu and Gilda be reduced to the barest minimum possible within the story?

Yes, yes, I am late. I know.

A Dream of Pride and Envy has been submitted for approval.

Set during the years before the Long Winter and the settling of Equestria, the story tells of the events that lead to Iridia's fall, the loss of Namyra, and one portion of the underlying back story and mythos of Myths and Birthrights.

The Grand Revision is going to be hitting in a few hours, and since things will be getting jumbled around a bit, here's the low-down:

First up, everything that is being/will be taken down has been archived in the Myths and Birthrights Archive. Actually, I think I am going to go ahead and just move everything that is currently in the published story over to the archive, just to be safe.

Question: Should I take down the ENTIRE story, as it presently exists, rather than have a large segment in the middle that is filled with plot holes and story inconsistencies?

A while ago Voodoomaster came out with a map of Ioka. After a lot of back and forth, chatting, and work on his part, a final version has been made.

EDIT: Based on feedback, yet another version has been produced!
