Greetings, I am Merlos the Mad. I am a dabbler of both words and wizardry in my free time. I also invite you all to partake in my musings. Take care though, as they are the product of a madman.

    *Cruises through*

    I was going through an old hard drive and found this sound file I never uploaded. If anybody likes listening to nerds from ten years ago talk about fanfiction with little ponies in it here's one I recorded with Hoopy Mcgee and Mrpockets at our heights of fanfiction. (Warning there is a little vulgarity. I was just out of the army when I recorded this I think. lol)

    Hello everyone, just an update.

    Well, suffice it to say, my renewed effort to start updating to schedule once again didn't pan out. It was maybe a bit naive of me to try and hold myself to that, especially considering how bad my track record had been the last couple of years. Still, I felt I had to try.

    Moving Forward, cause I'm back!

    I probably don't deserve to use a song this awesome, but...

    Heeeello everypony. I hope you've been enjoying the updates so far. Or, at least, you know, tolerating them.

    Whoooa. Two blogs in one year? Who am I and what did I do with the real Merlos!

    It's true, I am in fact... a changeling! The real Merlos is currently locked in the basement of this stinky wizard tower, and I am readying Queen Chrysalis' eeeevil plan to take over all the fimfiction writers and then the whole world! Bwahahaha!

    Except not.

Posting chapter 4 was veryyyy difficult, everyone wants pony. but I just can't give it to them yet. · 9:04am Feb 17th, 2013

This must be what game developers feel when they put out a demo.

Anyone want to take bets on how soon until somebody makes an attempt on my life?

People complained a LOT more about the indirect presence of ponies thus far in the story than I thought. Honestly I did see that coming, but to a MUCH smaller extent. I foresaw people enjoying the breath of fresh air from constantly having ponies shoved down there throat like a proverbial Christmas ham having an apple and stuffing stuck in it's mouth. I mean it's a ot story, 100k to 150k words. It wont be as long as Olts my other fic, but it isn't short either. The build up I felt should be a little long by comparison to the rest. In hindsight what I would do instead in order to have won everyone over would have been to write chapter four first, then flash back to one through three from Mary being on the run some place not at all spoilery. Oh and not self edit it, because I suck with commas. :pinkiehappy:

No it's not that it's very much a stand alone. I fixed your events also!

Day 1 Eats a sandwich. Day 2 Cellphone shock therapy Day 3 Hair change! Day 4 The main event. Not really anything before here happened pony related that you'll know about anytime soon so stop worrying about it. Seriously.

This story was an experiment, I wanted it all to be a fun litle game for the readers! In my brain everyone was guessing, "Ohmiagosh it updated! what's gonna happen?" Everyone clammers about and speculates, jeering me on and asking questions. Merlos' popularity soars!

Ka-ching! Buuuut, it didn't work out, at least 10% of folks just got upset I diverged from the norm. Most folks as usual were "Eh, it's ok" and I got a smattering of yays! So in conclusion, experiment failed, won't do it again.

Expect the next update before friday! :pinkiehappy: It's biiiiig.

Hahaha! Today, wel if you want you could try and convince me to give you a peek at the next chapter, but it needs at least three more days of baking.

Having edited the first few chapters for ya, I will wait faithfully as well.:twilightsmile:
And if they come after you, I got your back, battle. I'm a pretty good shot.:rainbowdetermined2:

Aw my fine fellow, Mane do you really mean that? You'd start a war of mammoth magnitudes and arcane hysteria with minions just for me? Thanks buddy. :raritystarry: It is the next chapter so don't worry it's very in depth, I even managed to make the mood a little dark, despite the story being comedy.
