    A Realization

    THIRDSTRING'S LAW

    Near-future science fiction tends to overestimate technological progress.

    Conversely, far-future science fiction tends to underestimate technological progress.

    The situation was rapidly turning into a something out of an obscura-fueled nightmare. An angry mob of flying horses were carrying Macer up a flight of white marble steps, spitting out paranoid slogans and chants with zeal that would make a Redemptionist jealous.

    Finally some progress

    The next installment of Friendship is Sanctioned is in the rough draft stage--now it's just a matter of polishing things up while I consult my trusty editor slave friend. It's currently at over 7,000 words, making it firmly the longest chapter yet. Hopefully this will make up for some of the long wait.

    ALL THIS PAIN AND DEVASTATION

    My basic thoughts on EqG, reposted from Equestria Daily. This is the essence of what I have to say on that subject.

    One of the biggest gripes I have about all this has to do with the movie's premise, as it relates to what they aimed to do with this movie.

Preview for Chapter Ten · 9:17pm Jan 15th, 2013

After much hand-wringing, I was able to finally make something worth reading. Take a look for yourself:

Chapter Ten: A Facepalm-Worthy Occurrence

Pinkie Pie paced up and down, jiggling her eye. Her very good friend, Mary Sue Crozius, had arranged to meet her here atop a Land Raider. "I have something wrongheaded to tell you," she had said.

Mary Sue Crozius was late, which was very unlike her. Any moment now, Pinkie Pie expected to see her bounce up, her politically charged hair streaming behind her and her suggestive eyes aglow.

Pinkie Pie heard footsteps, but they seemed rather tiresome for a delicate and obnoxious girl like Mary Sue Crozius, whose tread was foppish. She turned around and found Chaplain Bardrik staring at her.

"What are you doing here?" Chaplain Bardrik said nervously. "I thought you said you didn't want to see me again."

Pinkie Pie had said that, but now she was beginning to wish she hadn't acted so spitefully. "Mary Sue Crozius asked to meet me here." As she gazed at Chaplain Bardrik, her hoof began to throb cuteastically.

"Oh," Chaplain Bardrik said, clumsily. "I'll just go then."

"Wait," Pinkie Pie said and caught Chaplain Bardrik by his face. "I was wrong. I still love you. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Yes," Chaplain Bardrik said, smiling. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed, like a mountain being dropped onto a midget's toes.

From behind a Pyrovore, Mary Sue Crozius watched with a terrifying light in her needle-like eyes. She took a list out of her pocket, and checked off "Pinkie Pie/Chaplain Bardrik". Then, she skipped off to help an embittered man find love again, just as soon as she'd saved the dragon from extinction.

I admit I made some degree of usage of the Drabble-matic, but clearly this gem will be the story's defining scene. Thoughts?
