    Where Have I Been? · 7:31am

    I thought I mentioned this recently, but as it turns out, I must have forgotten.

    The day after releasing the first 3 chapters of my little rewrite of Judgment, I left for Sydney to attend PonyconAU, and have only just returned to my faithful computer. Sorry for neglecting to mention this... I had a brilliant time there, it was so amazing to be surrounded by so many like-minded people.

    Now that my collection of pony merch is substantially larger, and my wallet is substantially smaller. I think it's finally time to get back to work. I was glad to see that (most) people hadn't forgotten about Judgment, and (most) people had constructive things to say about the rewrite so far. All in all, I'm happy with my work, and I hope that by the end I still am. More importantly, though, I hope that you guys are all happy with it thus far, and I hope you all share the sentiment later.

    I'll (hopefully) have another chapter out in a couple of days or so. But until then, keep the feedback coming guys, I look forward to seeing how this goes.

    G'day guys,

    So, today is the day I plan on releasing the rewrite to Judgment.

    Much to my dismay, It's pretty far from done, but I do have the first few chapters ready to put up later today. I'm hoping that before I do that I can finish another.

    Let me know what you guys think once it's out, is it better, is it worse, you all know the drill by now.

    Anyways, thanks guys.

    Been Awhile... · 10:15am

    Alright, I haven't done a post here in ages. Mostly due to schoolwork getting in the way of things, and maybe a few other distractions...

    So, I guess that those of you who still keep updated with what I'm up to are wondering what the heck I've been doing with my time lately. Well, I've worked out a more appropriate schedule for myself.

    Last year, on the 4th of April, I released my first chapter of Judgement. And I remember saying in the past, that I was going to rewrite it and make it easier to understand, as well as make the story flow better. As far as that goes, it would only seem logical for me to have it out by then.

    As for A Changed Town, I'm honestly not sure what's going to happen with that, I'll probably keep it on hiatus for a time before I either finally find the inspiration to continue with it, or until I decide it's time to get rid of it.

    I'm still trying to do some work on Judgement's sequel, but with the multiple setbacks I've had, and all the things that need doing with it, I'm not entirely sure how long it could take before I release it. (My main problem is still the lack of cover art, if you guys can suggest someone who would be willing to take on the task that wouldn't charge, I would be incredibly grateful)

    So, other than that, enjoy the rest of your day/night/whatever!

    Thanks guys

    I probably should have mentioned this earlier, but I haven't been in contact with my PC for the past week so I never really had a chance to. Sorry...

    I said I was going to have the first few chapters of the sequel to Judgment out by now... That hasn't happened, for a few reasons.

    Reason one: I haven't really done as much work on it as I had hoped I would do, I had convinced myself that writing much larger chapters (around 4000-6000 words) would be easy and quick... I was wrong. I have also been managing my time very poorly.

    Reason two: While doing work on it, I would check back on Judgment to make sure I wouldn't be contradicting myself at any points in the sequel (ie. Going against previously stated facts, making sure time frames were accurate, ect.) and I noticed how poorly written some parts were, this has given me the idea to go back and fix up a lot of that.

    Right now, I'm hoping to do a bit of rewriting on Judgment, while doing work on the sequel and releasing them both at around the same time.

    So, what do you guys think about this? Does a rewrite sound good, or should I get the sequel out of the way first?


    Another thing I wanna talk about, much like the majority of the fandom at the moment, is Alicorn Twilight. Almost everyone seems worried that this is gonna ruin the show, I sympathize with that, but at the same time, I have faith in the show writers and firmly believe that they know what they are doing, they wouldn't take a risk this big unless they were sure it would come up as a positive.

    Again, what do you guys think? I'm on the fence on whether or not this is going to be a good thing, it'll definitely be interesting to see how it plays out though...

    Sequel Cover Art · 1:00pm

    Hey again guys. This little note is gonna be sitting on my FimFiction profile (Which has been altered for everypony's viewing pleasure) for a little bit as well, but I figured that if I should post it here, too.

    Are there any decent artists who follow me or are reading this who would be willing to draw up some cover art for Judgment's sequel? Cover material was a real pain to come by while I was writing Judgment, and I figured that now, since I have a sizable amount of followers, I may be able to find someone who can help with this dilemma of mine. The cover I used for Judgement was pretty much a last resort, and I added it around about 3/4 of the way through writing the fic... I'd kinda like to avoid that this time.

    Directing me to artists that could help with this would also be helpful. (Preferably if they wouldn't want money for it... I don't wanna seem cheap, but I don't exactly have any money at this time. :/ )

    Thanks for your time guys.

    (Just for the record, I've got a prologue ready and I'm going to be starting on Chapter 1 tomorrow night or Saturday)

    Hey everyone,

    Obviously I'm not gonna be the first one to post something like this, but anyhow... Merry Christmas guys, hope you all enjoy the day, I know I have. My new Razer PC gear was definitely worth waiting for.

    I'm hoping to have some new content for everyone to read toward the beginning of January, the first thing I'll add to is most likely gonna be Changed Town. But mark my words, before the end of the Christmas Holidays (in about 6 weeks time, for those of you who don't know) the sequel to Judgement will be out.

    Where I'm At... · 11:27am

    Alright, this is long overdue so I better stop putting this off.

    I had really meant to do this about a week ago, but it seemed like something minor and I kept putting it off.

    Anyway, down to business, I'm going to be putting A Changed Town on hiatus for the next few weeks, I haven't had time to do anything with it for multiple reasons, the most prevalent being lack of inspiration and high amounts of schoolwork due to my last few weeks for the year.

    I'm trying to find time to work on it in the near future but until then, you guys will just have to deal with me being unorganized for a little bit longer. Chances are I'll start making progress on it again during the Christmas holidays.

    Sincere apologies to anyone who wanted the next chapter(s) soon, it's something I just can't do at the moment.

    Oh, while I'm here I guess I should mention the new episode. It was a relief when Scoot wasn't given any serious backstory and I could definitely work with her becoming Rainbow Dash's apprentice in the sequel to Judgement.

    And... Since I've brought it up, I should elaborate further. Yes, there is definitely gonna be a sequel in the near future, I'll probably start working on it during the Xmas Holidays alongside with or after A Changed Town.

    Okay, time to wrap this up. Sorry again for the delays in writing guys, It hasn't and won't be abandoned. Hopefully you guys don't mind.

    Canon Ruining Fics? · 10:25am

    So, I was browsing MyLittleBrony.com when I saw this

    Now, at first I was happy about it, and in a way I still am... But something that's worrying me is what if the canon of the episode messes with Judgement. ie. Her parents are featured or family is shown or something along those lines... I'm hoping that they won't do anything like that, although it's a worry i'm having, considering it could affect something i've worked so hard on, and anything else that may come along with the future...

    Suggestions/comments anyone?

    One Fortnight Later · 10:02am

    October 31st: Hm... I should do some work on a fic... Oh shit, Assassin's Creed III... Well, I'll have time later.

    6 Days Later, November 6th: Okay, I should actually do something now... Oh, right... Halo 4... Meh, I'll work on it later...

    Present Day: Alrighty, now. Now, I need to do something on here... Oh! War Z, I almost forgot I bought you last week...

    Well, shit...

    Heh, hey guys...

    So, I've been pretty preoccupied latley, which has left me with little time to work on any stories. I apologize for that. The good news is that now that I'm at my mothers house for the next week or so, I don't have an Xbox with me, so that means a few of the... distractions, I guess you could call them, are out of the picture for a bit.

    Anyways, I'm working on Chapter 5 of A Changed Town right now and hopefully I'll have a few new chapters out by the end of the week. Once again, sorry about the delay everypony!

    Oh, and how could I forget! Season 3's premiere was awesome.

    Okay, enough talking. More WarZ- Er... I mean, writing fanfics... Yeah, that's it...

    Releasing Tonight! · 11:14am

    Hey everypony!

    So, as the title of this post would suggest, I'm releasing A Changed Town tonight. I'll be making some last edits and additions over the next couple of hours.

    There isn't a tremendous ammount of words, only about 6000 or so spanning 4 chapters, so I hope they're good enough to make up for that.

    Anyways, that's just about all I needed to say, hope you guys are looking forward to reading it :D

    EDIT: Alrighty, story has been submitted and should hopefully be out soon.
