    Okay, so I've been kind of MIA lately. I had planned on getting another chapter of Lyra's Ultimate Item Emporium up like, two weeks ago. Then I wanted to get another PonyFall: Australia chapter up.

    Unfortunately, real life sometimes likes to take your carefully laid plans and laugh at them. Frankly, I've been busy with things completely unrelated to the internet. I had an exam in my electrical trades course; I had to have a medical exam, among other things, so that I can finally settle my residency status here in Australia; I was away the entire Mother's Day weekend; I've been looking at getting an apprenticeship; and finally, I've been looking at new homes so that I can finally stop paying rent.

    In-between all of that, I've had to do the standard parenting stuff, housework, cooking, cleaning, etc. etc. What little free time I've had has been spent playing games just to keep from going nuts.

    Today I finally managed to get some work on the next PonyFall chapter done along with Fullmetal Pony. So, while it's not going to be completed at least for a few more days yet, it has been started. The next Lyra chapter has been started as well, but it's slow-going.

    Things will continue to be a little hectic until I find a home I like, but at least work has finally begun.

    Thanks for your patience. I'll get something out for you to read as soon as I can sit down and write something I'm satisfied with. I've rushed chapters out in the past with mixed results, so I prefer to take my time and get it right.

    Love to all,

    - Slorgy

    Hey all,

    I recently (like, 5 minutes ago) found this riff of The Day My Beard Turned Into Pinkie Pie. Sadly, it looks like they only ever got around to riffing the first chapter, but it's pretty funny regardless. Have a looksie.

    Good day,

    This is a heads up - the next chapter, Twelve Days: A Reminiscence, is a bit of a recap chapter.

    I felt this was necessary since I've been writing this for a year. It's easy to forget important moments in the story.

    However, don't feel that you don't need to read it if you've been following along just fine until now. Because I'll warn you now:

    This chapter contains foreshadowing of upcoming events

    This chapter should answer a few questions, and raise a few more. The next chapter will get back into the story with John and the Crusaders, but again, I felt a bit of a recap was necessary.

    Cheers!

    Love to all,

    Just a Quick Note · 12:11am

    I think I need to point something out to some people (again).

    Not most of you, mind you. Most people do the right thing. But there are a few who think they are clever.

    Down-votes, the times they were left, and the people who have left them (their IP addresses) can be viewed at any time by FiMFiction admins. There has already been a case of someone being banned from FiMFiction for abusing the down-vote system by making multiple accounts to down-vote PonyFall stories.

    Abuse of the down-vote system also extends to down-voting multiple stories of a given author for whatever petty reason.

    For anyone else who thinks they are clever and can beat the system in order to troll, ruin a writer's reputation, or whatever numbskull reason you have to create multiple accounts or randomly down-vote every story I've written, I need to explain something.

    Have a look at those ratings bars. See all that green on them? It must frustrate you to hear this, but I earned all that green. See those tiny red slivers? I earned some of that, too. I'm certainly not perfect and would never claim to be. But do you know how much affect your 3 or 4 extra down-votes are going to have on the overall rating?

    None. Zero. Your efforts will never be enough to actually make any bit of difference. Not even your groups dedicated to down-voting every PonyFall story in existence (yes, I know who you are) are enough.

    As for the rest of my readers, I'm glad you enjoy what I write. I do this for me and for you, and nothing they do will ever change that.

    Progress! · 1:07am


    Good day all,

    Well, I'm finally making progress again. I feel good enough today to write, and am already almost 3000 words into the next PonyFall chapter. There's a lot to put into this chapter, but look for it to come soon!

    Once that's done, I'll need a little break again before editing chapters for the Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and CMC PonyFalls, then I'll get to work on some more of Lyra's story.

    So lots of stuff incoming. Keep an eye out and thanks for being patient as I get over this bloody cold.

    Sorry! · 9:30am

    Hey all,

    Looks like I got sick. Again.

    I had planned on releasing another chapter or two of Lyra's Ultimate Item Emporium this week so I could work on PonyFall with FMP on the weekend. Unfortunately, life had other plans for me. It's kind of hard to write when you have a sinus headache.

    I will try to work with FMP regardless, but any Lyra updates will have to wait until afterwards. Sorry!

    Love to all,

    - Slorgy

    Yep, it's that time of year again.

    I have once again managed to avoid this guy for another year.

    Well, technically it's not my birthday for another 5 hours or so, but I don't feel like waiting until midnight to post this. Last year I received birthday wishes from Andrea Libman and Michelle Creber, which really made my day. This year I got my gift a bit early when I went to PonyCon AU.

    So... yay me?

    I promised the person who sent me this custom Junebug that I would post a picture with me and her.

    Promise kept. Yes, my creepiness is intentional.

    Good day all!

    PonyFall began (in-fic) exactly one year ago today. What better way to celebrate than to reveal just what was going through Discord's mind when he attacked Ponyville and helped to cause the mess the ponies are in?

    That's right. After a full year, you can finally get a glimpse of what he was thinking during the prologue battle. Draequine has updated and revamped his prologue to show precisely that.

    New PonyFall: Adventures in Chaos Prologue

    Bear in mind that I didn't get to edit this one, so there are grammar goofs in it. But you'll get the idea.


    It answers a lot of questions about Discord - but it also raises plenty more!

    Enjoy!
