Well, it seems that somepony has the same tradition as I do when Christmas approaches (in another community, anyway).

So don your hats, people!

Thoughts: On Season 3 Episode 6: Sleepless in Ponyville · 7:05am Dec 9th, 2012

Opening words
If the last episode was where the Fandom Rejoiced, this episode is where the Fandom had an orgasm… well, at least the parts where their fanon includes Luna as a Dream Walker. Once again, we are getting lots of callbacks to previous episodes and I, for the most part, am happy about it.

Introduction
Hello, and welcome to another post of Thoughts, a series of blog posts detailing my thoughts on aspects of writing and how I dealt or worked with them (and of course on MLP episodes when they aired).

Thoughts: On Season 3 Episode 5: Magic Duel · 5:08am Dec 2nd, 2012

Hi everyone! I'm sorry for kind of disappearing for a while... I had been busy with assignments and preparing to fly over to Seattle on the 20th for my exchange programme.

But of course, work on Of Sunshine and Laughter is on-going. I'm working on the last scene of the chapter and after some proofreading and editing and it will be up!

Post: On Trixie · 4:11pm Nov 23rd, 2012

So... I had a paper on Discrete Mathematics today and guess whose name appeared in a question on Bayes' Theorem? ...I'll give you a hint: It's in the blog title.

Okay, I know Trixie does not just apply to a Great and Powerful unicorn but hey, it's still nice to see a MLP reference (no matter how tenuous) in everyday life. =x

Welp, back to work on Of Sunshine and Laughter.

Update: Current progress and a short scene (non Of Sunshine and Laughter releated) · 2:40pm Nov 14th, 2012

Hi all and sorry, still no new chapter yet but I'm slowing chipping away at it. I'm finishing up on Luna/Pinkie's scene and I have Celestia/the Cakes' scenes to do and it'll be ready.

To tide you guys over for now I have a short scene I've done for a scene challenge by AdmiralTigerclaw. The challenge can be found here.

Update: Of Sunshine and Laughter Chapter 2 · 4:01pm Nov 10th, 2012

Hello everyone. I'm sorry that I kind of disappeared for a week and a half, I had to rush for my game project Prototype milestone last week and doing school work on top of writing the chapter this week. It's currently at 1.1k words and still less than halfway done and I'll try to finish it as soon as possible.

So please forgive me for the slow slow slow update... =x

Post/Update: Ideas from Canterlot Gardens VA Panel · 4:50am Oct 27th, 2012

Hi everypony! First off, the update.

I've finally cleared all my midterm exams (and the last paper actually looked to be in good shape) for now and don't worry, chapter 2 of Of Sunshine and Laughter is still being worked on. Rough estimate is currently about 25% of the chapter done and I'll see if I can wrap it up by Sunday.

Update: Delays · 11:06pm Oct 22nd, 2012

Hi everyone, sorry but there's no new chapter... yet. So I promised that Chapter 2 of Of Sunshine and Laughter would be out this week but it looks like this isn't going to happen.

My midterm results have been released.. mostly and they've been less than stellar. This means my writing is taking a backseat while I focus more on my studies. But there is still a little hope that I can do some work over the weekends and push the chapter out.
