    May not be writing at the moment, but...

    I have been starting to pop up on Twitch from time to time. If you're ever interested in poking your head in, take a gander over here. I'm actually about to go live here in a few.

    Saying Adios to a Friend

    So, folks... I'm sure most, if not all of you, know Obselescence in some way or another. For quite some time, he's been a moderator here, and organizer of quite a few story competitions and unexpected fads. Go stop by and wish him well, if you'd like. He had a large impact on me over the years, it's sad to see him go.

    Status Update

    Next chapter is currently sitting at 2,500 words out of the 4,000 or so that I've set as a goal for chapter size. It's a bit hard going, I know what I want to write, but writing it is another story altogether. Once I have the rough draft finished, it's going to need a fair bit of work to get it up to a posting standard, but hopefully I'm thinking two to three days until it's ready for

    Want some more Batpony/Thestral-centric content? Take a gander!

    So, two of my long time friends on the site here (Talking shortly after creating accounts, both of whom have poked at my stuff on and off for some time now) have recently come together to work on something that is heavily centered around a created society of thestrals. They've told me it should be quite an interesting read, and I'm inclined to agree, having seen some of the content they're

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy the day, wherever you may be, whomever you may be with. Go watch some Christmas movies, have some holiday cheer... I suggest watching Home Alone 2. Or Die Hard. Both are excellent ones to watch.

Weekly update · 11:16pm Mar 12th, 2013

Hey folks, time for an update as to what I've been doing. The dreaded writer's block is indeed gone, and my focus has been on my writing again. So, here goes, with some nifty pictures.

First off, Chapter 11 of Becoming One With The Night. As you can see, I haven't had much headway made, but it's all planned, and when my attention shifts to it, it should flow rather well.

MoonLight story next. Been doing some rearranging with it and trying to bring it more in line with what I want, hopefully the first part will be ready within the next week or two. Still debating if I want to release it all at once (It is 4 parts plus an Epilogue to tie up any loose ends) or part by part. I'm expecting this to be around 5,000 words for each part.

And now, the idea that has taken off in my head, and had my fingers busy pounding away at keys. It still has no title, however here's what I can confirm so far. It will be a 1st person POV, and the tags will be [Human][Romance][Adventure]. [Comedy] is unknown at this time, while I will be getting in humor while I can, I'm still thinking on this one. It's basis is linking a lot of Arthurian lore (King Arthur folks!) with the history of Equestria, and then linking it in with the present where a human is dropped in. Alicorn Twilight will be the 'canon' version in the story, and it is currently unknown as to what role the rest of the Main 6 will be playing. The romance in question is: TwiLuna. Cadance x Shining. Celestia and the human. Beyond that, not much more. I have the first chapter completed, ~1/3 of the second chapter written, and a third chapter already outlined. Still need a name, description, and cover image. If anyone finds any interesting images, feel free to bug me with them.

Other stories... I have a Celestia Sadfic that I am in the middle of writing. It is standing between 750 and 1000 words now, and the estimated end count should hover around the 4,500 mark. Hopefully the feels will be high with this one. I deleted The Stranger Games, as it is something that I am extremely unhappy with myself about, and I really didn't want folks to associate me with such a twisted thing any longer. Dreams Are A Gateway is still in hiatus, I just cannot get it back on its rail.

Going to try something new here, plugging a story weekly with the update here. Everyone starts out somewhere, and as I had the luck to have someone pitch my story when I first started writing, it's only fair to return what I can. For the first one, we have New Perspectives by Alerhys. The premise is due to a magical accident, Fluttershy becomes an Earth Pony while Applejack becomes a Pegasus. It is a rather interesting Slice of Life story that takes into account a lot of small things. I suggest giving it a read when you have the time.

And, as always, ending this with a thank you to everyone who is reading my stories, I'm always floored at just how many folks are reading my stuff. It's come a decent distance from a simple project to improve upon my writing. And as always, it is always a good thing to love your editor(s). Q97randomguy is really my only active one at this point, and much love goes out to him. Check out his story if you haven't yet, it will not disappoint.

'Till next time,
Space out~

Well, you're doing better than I am, and I only have one fic. :L

As for a title for the new fic... How about

-Man and Sun

-The Sun of my Heart

-Sun's Love

And that's all I've got so far. I'd have to read it to come up with anything else. These titles assume that the Celestia/Human romance will be the center of the story, so feel free to yell at me if it's not.

Good night, and good luck! :pinkiehappy:

Yeah, I've honestly been very lucky with the readerbase I've accumulated in my time here. As for the titles, I'm actually trying to find something that focuses a bit more on the Arthurian lore aspect of the story, while it will have the Celestia romance in it as a plot element, I want to try to keep the focus on the lore aspect and how it will tie in with current day events, the first plot arc is dealing with it after all. : ) I do thank you for the title choices there though.

In that case, I'll have to read it before I say anything else.

While I award you an A for effort, that is about all I can do at this point. :trollestia: Only two other folks have access to the document, and that's probably all who will until I have it ready to be posted. Thinking it'll go up with the next update of BOWTN though.

The Hordes of Hell- me - await the moment they can finally digest such literature. Until then...

There is homework. :twilightsheepish:
