I'm going to be taking quite a break from ponies for a few months due to joining the military. I will return and I will finish what stories I have.

If one looks at the main six characters of the show, we've been introduced to both parents (or at least their relatives in the case of Applejack) of each...except for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. We've seen a pony who's likely Rainbow's father, but only in a flashback. The same goes for another recurring pegasus character: Scootaloo.

A normal person might look at this and think nothing of it. I, on the other hand, see an opening for headcanon and world-building.

So since I've got a bad case of writers block for my stories, I've decided to begin posting different bits of my own personal headcanon both for purpose of sharing and critique. The first section of it I'd like to post is my take on how ponies age in the show.

Personally, I'm not one of the ones who holds onto the 'same age as IRL horses' idea. I like making ponies capable of living more human-like lifespans, with a few twists. Why?

No one reads these, but so what. All the current major scenes are more or less completed for the next chapter of MLA:FiS. All I've gotta do is polish everything and add in the connecting pieces to get everything into one big coherent story! Yay for the final chapter of part one of three!

I went from something like eighty faves and only sixty four likes to one thirty five faves and a little over a hundred likes.

Manly tears were had and I'm still smiling with joy and pride as I write this.

So my previous calculation of a pre-Xmas release for the tenth chapter of MLA:FiS was a bust. I ran into OOC problems and was forced to scrap half the chapter to counter them.

But never fear! I've found a non-OOC solution and so far the tenth chapter looks like it's going to be the longest chapter to date, so you guys have got that going for you! I'm currently at least three quarters done with the initial writing phase, so hopefully it will be done before the end of the month.

So I made the promise that the next chapter of MLA:FiS would be out before Christmas. Hopefully that still ends up being the case, but it might not due to the fact that I've gotta rewrite the entire second half from scratch.

So just a heads up, I hope you all enjoy whatever I decide to cook up.

Just because your fic doesn't qualify for a Warren Peace review doesn't mean that I can't help you. Here I'll detail a list of most of the problems that I've come across in my reviewing adventures that you should not have present in your story as well as a few other tips and tricks.

So while editing out loud what I've got so far of the next chapter of my ponified rip-off of The Most Dangerous Game I came across something:

More footsteps through the forest, this time coming the way that the General had just come.

So to anyone who doesn't know, I'm a SoCal brony (great state, shitty politics). And holy shit has it been hot here lately. I don't have the exact temps, but it's a pain in the ass just sitting here and sweating like a pig. Now granted, I could probably just turn on the AC but I'm a cheap motherbucker (now that I think about it, though not fixing the problem kinda destroys my bitching rights).

Anyways, enough of my petty complaints.
