    With mostly radio silence with vague/broken promises, a lot of you are probably wondering what's going on with the last chapter.

    Scratching Itch (Also, Where Do You Come From?)

    Wow, the votes were pretty scattered. Oh well, we had a couple come up above the rest. I have an idea that I will be working on when I can. Something quick and dirty, just for the sake of getting it out and posting something.

    Have an Itch (Vote for Best Pony)

    I have that niggle in the back of my brain telling me to write. However, I'd like a little warm-up exercise before jumping back into any major projects.

    So, because it worked so well the last time, let's do this again. Vote for best pony! Preferably none that I have or are currently writing about.

    Let me know in the comments below.

    Where the Hell Have I Been!?

    Hey guys.

    Unfortunately writing has been completely dormant as I've hit the insane schedule regarding three jobs that pick up when the weather is warm on top of other projects. In fact, I'm convinced that I've actually messed myself mentally through all of this.

One Hundred Followers!? · 2:24am Feb 23rd, 2012

No. Seriously. What the hell.

Not that I think it's bad, in fact I think it's incredible, but just... wow.

Okay, for my 100 follower celebration I guess I should... maybe I can... what if... I got nothing.


Hey! You! In front of the screen there. Hello! Any ideas?

I'm planning an extra scene of "Number One" as my 50 follower celebration that has yet to come to fruition (still taking scene suggestions!), but what should I do now?

Go ahead and suggest anything. I mean anything, as long as it's within reason.

Hm...Perhaps a scene where "I" have a little reading time with Dash? Perhaps some Daring Do story time?

Idk, I thought it would be funny. I got nothing. :applejackunsure:

Hmm
I think a scene where they have a baby or something?
Or they get married?
Or they get engaged? :rainbowhuh:

Can you do a similar story to 'No Need for Words'?

Maybe a person who can't smell or taste and either one of the flowerponies or Pinkie?
or Possibly a blind person and Rarity?

Maybe something with someone who can't feel and so isn't aware of their own strength? Applejack or Big Mac could be possible good partners in a story like that.

I really liked that aspect of NNfW and would love another missing sense in a story.

Hmm. If you're doing another scene of Number One for fifty then wouldn't something with Vinyl and unnamed second person pony be appropriate? I'd like to see one set later in their relationship.

Just keep up the amazing work, Whirring. That is enough of a gift for us.
Right guys?
Guys?

...Okay, so maybe it's enough of a gift for me. Whatever.

Murder Death Kill! Murder Death Kill! and then he travels forward in time to a.... wait... wrong plot line...

I'll be honest, I've considered another story missing another sense. And since you suggested it, I've considered it more. However, I'm afraid I've come to one conclusion: hearing was the best sense to do this with.

The lack of hearing was unique because, while you were still lacking a major sense, you could still describe the scene with great detail. While you couldn't hear ponies talk, you could see their mouths move. While you couldn't hear the music, you could feel the beat. There was always another sense to immediately tell you what was going on where hearing had failed.

Don't get me wrong, it is definitely possible to write about a blind pony or one that cannot taste or feel. I believe that there is nothing that is not writable. However, it would take a considerable amount of effort to make it work and I just simply do not think I can effectively pull it off. I'm sorry.

........I got nothing.

Unfortunately, I'm already planning something with Octavia. Sorry, but it doesn't involve a deaf colt.:twilightblush:
