...and I completely flub it by missing a ] on a last minute edit from my iPad, putting the whole thing in italics.

Anyway, if you gave up reading it earlier because the formatting drove your eyes crazy, it should be fixed now.

And, if you did read it, I'd love if you gave me your opinion either here or on the story, even if you thought it was terrible.

So one of my co-workers (different department, but we're a small company) came to work in one of these:

Yes, I mean it this time. 4500 words. The chapter's done, finally. I want to read over it one more time (I know, I know), then prereading (pending availability) and/or, finally, have it posted before the end of the week.

Thanks for not giving up on me, everypony.

So yeah. I AM working on Pinkie, I promise. I've had to rework Chapter 4 twice, and now I'm on a complete rewrite. Sometimes, I get really stupid ideas. Forcing conflict seems to be a major problem of mine.

So...good news! I've broken through my writer's block with this story and am in full production mode on it. Unfortunately, I won't have much time over the weekend to work on it, so I'm trying to get as much done tonight as possible. With any luck, I should have a new chapter update out for early next week. Man, I can't believe a month has passed since the last update...

First, how about that finale! I mean:

Yeah. That's about it. Yes, there were plot holes (not that type!). Yes, Rainbow Power sucked. But OMG the fight scene -- who even cares about the rest of the episode!

Second, yeah, I'm behind. I haven't done a lot of writing over the last two weeks. I'm sorry.

I'll keep this brief:

Since I've tagged this for the story, I'll post my production update first.

Basically, for Pinkamena's Tribulation, there isn't one. I'm still really in the planning stages here, unfortunately. I hope to start writing sometime next week, but I need to set some good time aside just for planning. I've got a few vague ideas, but not nearly enough to start writing. So...I dunno. Probably at least two weeks out, still.

So I haven't told my family about the whole "Brony" thing yet. To all of you who are "out" about this, I salute you. I can't figure out a way to do it. For me, "family" means wife and children. A relatively conservative wife and children, at least, when it comes to gender roles. I usually make sure not to look at any pony stuff when anybody could catch me, but I knew that FimFic on the phone doesn't generally show any imagery, so I briefly checked it from my iPhone tonight, and noticed I

Well, I didn't do things in the order I expected. Anyhow, work has to take priority for the next week or so, so I'm going to try to enforce a self-ban from FimFic until after that. Hopefully, I am strong enough to abide by this. I need to eat, after all.

So...I guess I like lying to all you. As it turns out, I've got about 4.2k drafted for Ch 3. It's done, pending edits. If anypony wants to pre-read for me, send me a PM. Otherwise, I should have it posted in the next few days.
