I'm really loving your Celestia Sleeps In series. I've been reading stories with similar premises that exaggerate Twilight's personality for the sake of drama, so a story that isn't incredibly cynical about Equestria has been a breath of fresh air.

I have tried to make the story as balanced, and in canon, as I possibly can. I've never liked stories that blow everything out of proportion, and so I've tried to avoid falling into that trap.

When I started writing, the list of 'good' HiE's could be counted on one hand. I'm so happy that now the list is quite long, and getting longer. From Through the Eyes of Another Pony to Just Passing Through, or Arrow 18 (which was a major inspiration), the genre has moved beyond its dubious "brony in Equestria" roots, and I'm glad to be playing a part.

I lost some sleep catching up to the story the past couple of days.

That's happened to me on more than one occasion.

The one way conversation you had going in Feels Like the First Time was great too. It felt a little like a stand-up bit when he got off track.

Thank you! That was a bit of an experiment, and I had a lot of fun writing it.
