So apparently inspired by the revelation that it's not actually dead, one kind soul just let me know they had created the bare bones of a TVtropes page for Duel Nature and asked me for a list of tropes I wanted them to put on it. I'm wracking my brain trying to think of what I'd put on there. I know at least a couple people found the story through the link on the "Badass Boast" page, but I'm sure I can't come up with anything

Hey folks,

I've gotten a couple prods reminding me that it's been a solid 6 weeks since I updated Duel Nature, so many of you will be happy to hear that I finally got off of my flank and started writing again. I'm not putting an ETA on the next chapter, but I can promise that it will come out before the heat death of the universe. Probably.

I don't blog. Don't think this is going to become a thing.

Also, the three four empty beer bottles beside me make me think that, if I DID start blogging, this would not be the right time to do so.

But screw that.

I look at the front page of FiMfiction.net reasonably often, and there are almost always stories that feature the second person as a storytelling device.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
