Hi! You have reached the page of TheUrbanMoose, author of the least popular, popular story ever. I like hiking in the mountains, rainy days, and hiking in the mountains on rainy days.

I am currently on an extended hiatus from the interwebs for two years, having started just a few days before January 16th, 2013. Why would I do such a thing? If you're curious, details on that are here and here.

It has been an honor, everyone. God be with you.

The Stranger and Her Friend

Princess Celestia is a living legend, but much of her life is shrouded in mystery. Records have long since been lost to the decay of time, and the tale of her triumph over Discord has become a fable. The Princess's memory of the event has long since faded... or has it?

Her faithful student lending an eager ear, Celestia recounts the true story of a war-torn Equestria, the struggle against Discord, and the early years of her own life.

Before she was the Princess of the Sun, she was merely a stranger.

You guessed it. Cheesedork here.

I've been asked to give you guys a status update on The Urban Moose. Why not?

He is doing well. He tells me his missionary work is very rewarding, if very exhausting and all-consuming.

He appreciates all of your good wishes.

I have been informing him of all the crazy pony news that's happened since he left. Twilicorn, Equestria Girls, Cadance used to be a pegasus, etc. Like any sane man, he thinks EqGirls is the dumbest thing ever, but is cool with the rest, regardless of how it may or may not affect Stranger's canon.

He's told me that he does try to do some writing in his spare time, but mostly little random scenes to stretch his creativity. He doesn't have the time to write the next chapter. Sorry guys. Though if he did, I'd totally type it up and post it (just don't hold your breathe for that possibility).

I've printed and sent him all of the work I've done on Ask Cotton Cake. He is very pleased with what I've done with it. Or, at least, he hasn't threatened to murder me... yet.

Speaking of Ask Cotton Cake, it now has 202 followers, which is more than how many watchers this FiMFic account has. Hahahahahahahaha, I win.

Naturally, if you don't follow it, you don't care for it, and that's fine, but here's some tidbits you may care about:

[Pictured: Commander Daylight. I thought you might appreciate a visual reference for everyone's favorite Joan of Arc expy]

[Pictured: Teaser of an as-of-yet-unknown character in The Stranger and Her Friend. Who is she? Have you seen her before? Possibly! But probably not. Feel free to speculate. PLEASE SPECULATE]

Also, Enough Mister is at it again, making me love him because of fanart.

[Pictured: Hugshot]

He also made Cotton as a Jigglypuff as a companion to my Cotton as Mew.

Did I miss anything? Bwu-dunnuh.

A fellow MLP author going on a mission, I greatly respect your decision. In two years we shall return, even better then we were before.

Good luck to you and I'll see you get back. I may not be a religious person but it does take balls to do what you are doing for your faith and I highly respect that.

So I guess this is good bye then and right now the only thing that comes to mind right now is Cowboy Bebop so I guess:

See you space cowboy.

Thank you, sir. I am starting to feel extremely nervous, something I have heretofore avoided, and the one thing that keeps me going is knowing I'm doing the right thing. In addition, people's amazing support has been, well, amazing. I did not expect such a positive response, and I feel very blessed for it. Your prayer is very much appreciated  – and I'll see you in two years. Hopefully then, I can finish what I started.

Should you decide to pick this story back up after you've completed the good work, know that you'll have at least one reader. I'd wish you good luck on your journey, but I know you don't need it. You're doing the Lord's work and he's got a plan for you.  No one should fault you for following that plan. In fact, this only makes me respect you more. TheUrbanMoose, I salute you.

May the Lord bless you and keep you in your journey. May he watch over you and guide your hands in all things. Amen

Doesn't look too long, I'll probably get around to reading it sooner or later. Good luck with it!

And nah, I don't mind long comments at all. They're the best kind!

Ah, I'll read it when I can.  The two links in your blog, right?

Unfortunately, I hadn't talked to anyone that had read the fanfic, but someone said he'd heard of you for sure, so you are getting out there.  I get what you mean...when it comes up in a discussion somewhere else that isn't directly related to it?

"The Capacity of Forgiveness" is actually my serious fanfic.  I don't have the "counter-trollfic" on FIMFiction yet, but I have a link to a Google Docs page with it here.  Be warned, the original doc is part of an "ideas" page (I copypasted into another doc), so there's some obscenity where Scriber, a fellow FG member and FIMFiction user, added his own part.

Anyway, for the counter-trollfic, I'm basically taking something another FG team member linked to us over Skype (I pasted the original in there for comparison), and making it into a full story.  I've had to fill in plenty using poetic license or whatever you'd call it, since it's prose, not verse.  So, enjoy, I guess? :twilightsheepish:

It's somewhere around 4 pages long, I think.  Will be much longer when I finish.

Sorry, hope you don't mind long comments filling up your page. :twilightoops:
