Well, after some thinking and some feedback, I've decided what to spend my new weekly slot on. We're rolling with the audience prompt story idea, since I enjoy interacting with you guys and the challenge that it occasionally presents. Here be ye rules:

1) If you submit a prompt and I use it, you'll be credited accordingly in the A/N for that chapter.
2) If at any point I have more prompts than I need (hopefully this will be the case!), I'll pick ones I like.

Okay, so. In order to get the full import of this blog post, you would have to be familiar with my scheduling habits. Thankfully, these are not very complicated. I have two slots. In each of those slots is a story. I then try to alternate between the slots. Sometimes I break stride if a story isn't working and I need to refresh myself by moving to the other, or if a story is going really well and I feel I can update more than once in a row quickly. It's very simple, a-side b-side logic.

Well, Music's done. Thankfully, since the last blog post I happened to remember that I'm British, and therefore don't actually have emotions, so I'm not sad anymore. However, I still sort've...can't be bothered to write Fear? I don't know what it is. Maybe I need to do more planning, rejig the events a little. That usually works.

Well, Music Makes The Heart is now officially over. I may tinker with it when I've got a little distance, but for all intents and purposes, that's all he wrote. I said a little about things in my AN on the epilogue, but I'll go into a little more detail here.

I was considering just having a final sprint and letting Fear sit for a while, but that's at an important point, too, and considering how long the waits between chapters for it are already, I think it'd be a bad move.

Phew! Finally finished the 21st chapter of Music. The reason it took so long is because I reworked it at least twice. In the first draft, Rarity would have showed up and dragged Octavia to the spa with Fluttershy; hilarity would have ensued, and Vinyl would have had a cute moment with 'Shy because why not. However, the Rarity and 'Shy just wouldn't stay out of the spotlight, so I cut them. Then I ended up changing the actual salient plot point of the chapter; Octavia was going to get

Well, stuff that I've done since last blog: the next chapter of Fear has been submitted for pre-reading (by the friendly neighbourhood Starfall); it used to have a Fluttershy section, but I took it away from her because, like the mare herself, it wasn't very plot relevant. Instead, pretty much the whole chapter became the Spike and Pinkie power hour, with Luna as a temporary guest star (who gets more screentime and stuff next chapter) and Rarity being...Rarity. Also, the Ocarina Of Time travel

Okay, so. Before we start, I'd just like to assure everyone that the next chapter of Fear is going well. I'm up to around 4000 words, so progress is definitely being made. Have no worries about that.

Well, I've started on the next chapter of Fear, so I feel obliged to offer some sort of descriptive preview like I normally do. Although the party chapter was meant to be mainly plot, it wouldn't be Fear if it didn't have a section that's completely pointless and is just there to be funny/build relationships. Also, we haven't seen too much of Spike, so surprise! You get a complimentary pointless Spike section, the first paragraph or so of which I spend talking about hats. Because that's just

Okay, updates! So, I'm working on a new oneshot idea that basically slapped me in the face and told me to write it, but the style is pretty demanding for me which means it'll probably take a while. In the meantime, I've started the next chapter of Music rolling (since I'm still working out all the details for Fear's next chapter), which is going pretty well. Quite plotty, but I'm still keeping in the relationship building in; it might be a little shorter than the last few chapters have been
