Chaos & Darkness Chapter 4: The Quest for Tamberlon is at 5,580 words and increasing by the minute. The relaxed summer air has rekindled the creative spark, and I should be sending it to the pre-readers by Thursday at the latest. I missed writing Tirek, Iron Will, and the rest, and I just hope I can make sure Luna isn't some helpless Woobie.
In other news, I closely examined a reader comment. I was sketching out notes for a Fluttershy/Discord 1-shot, and I realized that all of the protagonists whose families I create have parent issues. Cheerilee, Ditzy, Lyra, Iron Will, and then it hit me I started to sketch out Fluttershy's dysfunctional family ties. Admittedly, she has plenty of issues to explain, but still...
I now understand how father issues slip into all of Spielberg's movies.

Thanks for the Fave of A Sweet Taste of Cake. The story means a great deal to me, so I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the work!
Very much so. While they are shorter than most of the fanfiction I read (MLP or otherwise), they are packed with enough emotion that I can't really find myself caring about the length since I end up so invested in what's going on. Good work, and keep it up.

Sweet, thanks!
The ending was epic, by the way. More fics need montages and ending credits.

I would be honored to have my references spread. You have my blessing for wherever you'd like to go with it.
Having just finished Ch 5 of School Daze, I can't help but wonder if there would be any issue of my using Dr. Ocsid's brand of chaotic drinks elsewhere. If not, does he specialise in chocolate milk or would there be an issue of the release of another line?
Wonderful tale thus far. Can't wait to see it through and check out your other works.

"Ditzy Doo's husband (formerly known as “the Doctor,” “the Oncoming Storm,” and “The Lord of the Beepy Thing” and now known as "John Smith" through a gross misunderstanding of pony naming conventions) always thought the record player hated him."
>>486159 haven't read that one yet so while that does make sense it still feels off. But it does give me a reason to read the others. Thank you for the reply.

In "Three Whooves," it's mentioned that the Doctor is terrible at pony names. Dinky asks him if Smith means he's a blacksmith. Ditzy reminds him that its better than his first choice: Ford Prefect.
Perhaps I'll add a line to that effect.
I just finished reading Doctor Whooves and the House of Daring, not knowing it was a sequel, and while I enjoyed the story quite a bit there is one thing that kind of made for a stumbling block in reading it and wanting to read the other. Why did you go with John Smith as a civilian name for the doctor when clockwork or time turner would have worked just as well if not better, seeing what his civilian job is(especially clockwork). Please don't take this as I'm bashing on your work in anyway as I did enjoy it a lot. I just want to know why that name was chosen.
