The situation was rapidly turning into a something out of an obscura-fueled nightmare. An angry mob of flying horses were carrying Macer up a flight of white marble steps, spitting out paranoid slogans and chants with zeal that would make a Redemptionist jealous.

The next installment of Friendship is Sanctioned is in the rough draft stage--now it's just a matter of polishing things up while I consult my trusty editor slave friend.

I cannot even begin to say how upset this incident has made me.

Here's a more coherent reaction to the most recent episode. Once again, if you enjoyed it, good for you. But I really need to express my thoughts on this. If you disagree, please please PLEASE feel free to bring it up in the comments. I'm angry at the episode, not you.

After viewing this episode, I feel...left behind.

There's no other way to describe it.

After much hand-wringing, I was able to finally make something worth reading. Take a look for yourself:

Chapter Ten: A Facepalm-Worthy Occurrence

Pinkie Pie paced up and down, jiggling her eye. Her very good friend, Mary Sue Crozius, had arranged to meet her here atop a Land Raider. "I have something wrongheaded to tell you," she had said.
