So I've noticed a lot of the mood music accompanying certain chapters is going largely unnoticed. To me, this is a little odd, since it was received with such rousing enthusiasm in suggestion. I feel a major part of it may be because people aren't noticing it's there in the Author's Notes, due to them being right at the end of the chapter - and by then, the moment the music was for has passed. The other part is that no one really cares. So, I've created a new system to alert readers that are

Good afternoon (or morning, evening, or night depending on your time zone), everybody! My name is Dusk Quill, and I will be your host for this pilot of the Skyfall Discussion Panel, where you can talk to those lovable, crazy characters from the deep dark world of Skyfall. The people have spoken, and the votes are in, so without any further ado, let's meet our first panel!

In the first seat, we have the enigmatic leader of Skyfall, Fleethoof.

Well, I got such a pleasant surprise when I came home from work today and found out my view count must be glitched. Surely there's no way my stuff has gotten 1,000 views.

Thank you to everyone who took a few minutes to give me their opinions on the direction of my stories. It's really going to help me get a feel of what's too soft, and what's pushing the boundaries too much. Since I wasn't bombarded by votes though, I'm gonna use this more as a trend, or scale, rather than a hard "yes, we want this" vote.

Just a little life update that the writer who occupies this particular corner of FiMFiction has just turned 21 today!

Also, Happy Easter to all my readers out there, whether you observe it or not! I plan on catching up on some reading and writing myself. I'll also be opening up another Q&A for anyone interested, and maybe a little something for my own curiosity... Enjoy the holiday, everyone! Ciao!

A little while ago, I had promised to release my version of the world map to everyone, so you could follow along with the locations, get a sense of environment and destination, and really immerse yourselves in the atmosphere. Well now, I am pleased to announce that you can all join in.

Fillies and gentlecolts (ladies and gentlemen, for those of you tired of the pony idioms), I give you the world of Skyfall!

Not really anything important, but I just felt like happily announcing that finals are now officially over and I took huge advantage of a sale at the local bookstore. I picked up a bunch of new books for reference for the Skyfall series and I've got almost two weeks free to read and write. It's gonna be a good break!

Added to my collection:
"Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10" by PO1 Marcus Luttrell (Ret.)

Because I received a couple of these, and I felt this question merited its own blog entry for what I expect will be a long response. Quite possibly my favorite question I received to date:

Q: Why don't you care about becoming popular/your stories becoming famous or discovered?

A: Simply put: I didn't come here for fame. I came here to write.

Round 2... FIGHT!!

Q: Where do you get all your resources you use in your stories?

So a friend of mine within the fandom suggested I do an open, anonymous Q&A session, mostly for kicks, but also for PR to try and attract some more interest to my page. I don't know if this will actually work, but I'll do it anyway!
