I actually just put up a new story. Hopefully it'll go through soon so you guys can read it.

In other news, I've begun work on a super-special, super-secret collab project. I'm really excited about it, but I don't know how much I can mention since it's a collab and I'm not the one in charge. Writing time is scarce though, so it's going slowly.

I don't usually do this, but Bigponymac is going to do a print run of his artwork in the next couple days and I think you guys should go check it out. I really want this to work out for him because I like his art and I would like for him to still be selling it down the road when I can finally afford to get something. This isn't just some pictures he's printing out on glossy photo paper either. This is honest-to-goodness block printing.

A few people have asked me if I can explain what I had planned for ASMGDA since it's cancelled, so I figure I might as well give it a shot. It's way too big and interconnected to do in one blog post though, but I can at least start with the two ponies everybody is wondering about, Celestia and Twilight.

Hey. Hey. Hey hey hey. Are there any stories out there where Luna and Luna meet, team up, swap stories, or otherwise interact with each other in awesome and hilarious ways?

I was watching some Extra Credits videos last night, and that got me to thinking about how learning the principles of video game design is useful to anybody because it teaches you how to craft a system that inherently shapes behavior the way you want it to. For example, in FPS's players will adopt very different play-styles depending on how they regenerate health, through healing items, not taking damage for a certain amount

The reason this chapter is so late is mostly because I've been trying to figure out what to do with Luna and Fluttershy. Every time I tried to do what I had planned, it took over the chapter, threw off the timing of everything, seemed out of character, and didn't logically follow from their motivations. Then last night I had one of those facepalm moments. I was trying to shoehorn them into a portion of the story where they just didn't fit in order to wrap this arc up all nice and neat, when

Can anybody out there direct me to a romance story featuring Princess Celestia where she isn't paired off with Twilight, her sister, Discord, or Anonomyous? Preferably something long running. I want something more substantial than the usual "he's nice to me and treats me like another pony instead of a princess" crap too. She is the fucking princess of Equestria! I want something that acknowledges that fact! Celestia getting a love interest would be a huge deal; Power differentials! Intrigue!

Well, looks like I'm not going to make my goal for posting tomorrow. I realized that what I had wasn't working at all and had to start the whole chapter over again. Don't worry though, it'll still come, hopefully in the next couple of days.

Princesses Don't Potty just made it into the featured box for the first time ever!

I just barely finished up the draft. Now I'm going to take an hour or so to play some Kerbal Space Program and then begin the first round of editing. It's not up to snuff yet, especially the later half of the chapter, but come hell or highwater, you guys will have something to read tomorrow afternoon.

In the meantime, I could sure use your help if any of you want to weigh in with your thoughts.
