New update for The Crown of Night · 10:12pm Jan 15th, 2014
Only a small chapter this time, showcasing our villains, as a break from the lengthy conundrums of Star Swirl and Princess Luna.
Black Lives Matter. Good things are good, actually. I write about wizards and wizards' apprentices. 90% of prophecy is just pattern recognition.

Soon, his challenge will be let loose upon Ponyville, and everypony will have to decide what is most important to them, and what they are willing to sacrifice to protect it.
Okay, not really. But that sounds pretty epic too.
So who are you, exactly?
I'm Daedelean. I'm from Norway, I'm 29, and I've just finished being a lit student at the University of Oslo. When I'm not ponying, I play videogames and tabletop rpgs, or just sit and read. I've also recently started playing the flute, just for fun.
In which we get to see Star Swirl the Bearded eat porridge. And some other stuff happens as well that isn't nearly as exciting. Sorry, ominous evil voice, but you're going up against Star Swirl the Bearded eating porridge. Nobody can beat that.
One day after I update The Crown of Night, I see this.
Now there is only one thing to do.
Well, or I could race to try to finish the entire story before that issue comes out, it'll hopefully be several months judging by the fact that it says #17 and we're currently only up to, what, 13?
I do wish the story-tagging system worked, so I could report my ongoing not-dead-ness to all the people who are actually waiting for story updates rather than the much smaller number (but you guys are great!) who are following me, the writer.
...And to say that yes, I am still alive and working hard to get Other Things* out of the way so that I can do more of what we all really want, namely write ponies.
The romantic in me desperately wants to get the next chapter of Crown of Night out in time for Halloween Nightmare Night, but no promises.
The next chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever is going to be made extra awesome as thanks for the ton of love it got since being featured on EQD ^^
The Education of Clover the Clever!
I woke up this morning and the numbers were just rolling in. Twenty favorites overnight, another forty or so since then, and they're still coming :)
Because you can never have too much Luna.
This update marks a few milestones that are only visible to me. For starters, I finally got to use some elaborate curses I've had lying around for years. But most importantly, this chapter marks the end of the bit where I had built up a number of 40%-drafts lying around when I began publishing the chapters, and the remaining drafts I have stored up are only 10% or less.
Please do not look directly into the tea cup; Star Swirl may not be held responsible for any harm that results from the tea spirits gaining entry into your brain.
I've just uploaded a new chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever. Expect updates for The Crown of Night over the next couple of days. It's been a while in coming, but I like it.
