Ghosts of the Past 11 is out, though you can all see that in your favorites list so I probably don't need to tell you.

Mostly, this blog post is a little teaser of the next chapter, along with a 'display test' because I needed a full FimFiction controls bar to play with. As a result, you all get to see a little snippet of the next chapter here (though I don't pretend it's the most gripping piece on its own).

Okay, so barring interface difficulties, I've got something really cool to show you, and some good news following a long wait.

First off, some of you may recall that in Chapter 4 ('Of Freedom and Fate'), I drew a poster for Soldier On. Some of you may also remember that it was crap, because I'm not an artist. Cue Ruirik:

So that's it. From Stalliongrad With Love is done. 9 months (some of which interspesed with also writing Ghosts of the Past), just shy of 100,000 words, and an awful lot of lessons.

I'll have a follow-up post shortly with my thoughts on the story and writing it, and things I learned, but I wanted to get this up now:

Please do not comment on the 'revelation' in the Epilogue outside of the FSWL comments. There are people who've chosen to only read Where Loyalties Lie, and I don't want things spoiled for them. As was my stance when I started writing FSWL, it is optional reading to understand WLL.

So, first off, I finally have that creepy diaper-fetish art off my user page. It was fun to prank Rurik, but my Google Search History is tainted forever.

Anyway, some time last night, I finished From Stalliongrad With Love; its final chapter and epilogue are currently in editing. So those of you who've been following along can look forward to that in a few days.

Hey, everyone. Loyal here. You might remember me as the guy who used to post 12-18k words per week, instead of half that in two to three times the period. And I kind of wanted to talk about that.

See, the thing is... well, there's no easy way to say this. Over the past few months, I've been struggling with the fandom, and some of the comments I've been seeing on my work hasn't exactly helped the problem. I guess what I'm really trying to say is...

Hey, everyone! Been a long time, I know. Sorry about the month-long "finals week" delay. Truth is, I've been a bad guy, and haven't updated to explain the subsequent delays - but I have been busy. After the two weeks of finals, I had to move home, get set up there, deal with family weddings and birthdays and the general garbage of not having seen anyone in like a year. *Then*, when all that was finally over and I thought I might have time to sit down and write, I had to turn around and

...are coming up. So you might see a delay from me. Not totally sure if, nor how much, yet.

O dearest and most beloved of diaries! At last we have found you, sealed away in the inglorious exile of a shoebox deep within the archives.

Glancing back, our last entries were... less than pleasant. Perhaps we are now 'turning over a new leaf', to wield that more modern of parlance. Although, if recollection doth serve, thine paper consists of papyrus stalks, and not the leaves of some plant...

Dear Princess Celestia,

Today, I am learning that pictures are pretty. And no, I am not just talking of using photograph film to be burning down houses of rebels back home, though that is being very fun as well. Great way to ward off snow.
