I feel the need to speak about how differently the key events of Season 9 would play out in the Order-naries 'verse, but at the same time I don't feel up to making a proper story out of it. I'm going to split the difference with this blog, outlining what would happen without giving too much detail.

What a way to end the series. From a story-crafting standpoint, I have some complaints about how the final two-parter got rolling, and the resolution isn't how I'd have handled it.
The overall execution, however, and especially the final final episode, were wonderful.

I promised I'd focus on Pumahara after I finished Storm-chased, and I honestly have tried to get the next chapter done, but my silly, silly brain just can't leave the Order-naries 'verse slot on my WIP list empty for very long.

I put up the last chapter of Order-naries: Storm-chased a couple days ago. After looking at it, though, I found myself dissatisfied with the last couple paragraphs, so I've gone back and replaced them with a new, better-paced scene. One that I think works better for Ash and Rarity meeting the dust has mostly settled.

The geniuses who brought us Myst, and thus indirectly made Aitran possible, have announced their newest game project: Firmament.

My torment is over. I have a functional copy of Myst 4 on my computer. I have played through it and confirmed two things:
1) The game's puzzles run on ideal logic with no need to rely on outside help to determine the solutions.
2) I must pony-fy it. There is no hesitation or dispute in my mind. Aitran 4 will happen.

Cyan's managed to pull together the rights to republish every game in the Myst series for the game's 25th anniversary, and they're doing a kickstarter to fund it. They've already reached their goal, so it's pretty much a guaranteed thing if you want to get your hands on the games in an actually playable state.

Hopefully I've established a new habit of writing regularly, because I'm enjoying where Order-naries: Storm-chased is going.
I'd also rather like to get my next projects in motion before FiM ends completely.

Whenever I put a character near the brink of death or in a death-like state (such as in the void between universes), I tend to write the return to life from their perspective and get... rather poetic about the whole thing.
See: Twilight after being thrown through the Tau-rin Portal in SS:DC (and to a lesser extent in BBU), and Cabbage Patch in the last chapter of Trials of a Changeling Queen.
