Holy crap you guys. · 2:54am Aug 17th, 2013
Okay, okay, I know the next chapter of My Choices is taking FOREVER. And I'm sorry. It's been hard to get motivated. BUT! My good friend Nutjob decided to motivate me by purchasing an awesome commission from some guy named Bitz. Check this out!
It's a cover for My Choices! I already switched the official cover to this! Mad props to Bitz, and to Nutjob for spending real money on this. Consider me motivated!
Check out Bitz tumblr for more stuff from him. http://allthebitz.tumblr.com/
You're still alive? Yay!
I hope this helps you get your motivation back, your story is one of the best I have read.
No need to thank me. Unless you eventually wanted to see the fic continued. In which case your welcome now shower me with praise.
Wonderful!
*Puts down cattle prod*
Hooray!
Do you still have the old one? I kind of liked it. This is a great illustration though.
I'm fond of minimalistic covers, you see.
This story is in my top 3 favorite stories on this site, If you stopped updating I don't know what I would do with my life. The other two stories would be meaningless MEANINGLESS!! What I'm trying to say is that I'm glad your back (or going to come back
) and I really love the new cover....not that tha old one was not neat too.

I like Celestia and Luna's expression though. They seem appropriate.
Tia: "So as my student is growing up, I'm noticing she bears a striking resembles to a mysterious historical figure who came from nowhere, and turned evil after five years for no discernible reason even though I'd offered anything and everything she could possibly want as reward for all the good works she did. And also your student just came home with a magical artefact in the form of a helmet that holds enough magic to destroy all of Canterlot if it were released all at once. Sister, do you know what the bucking hay is going on?"
Luna: "Um, well, not really. Well, apart from that one hugely important secret I've been keeping from you for nearly a thousand years. But, well, honestly, it doesn't explain that much more. Just as clueless as you, sister."

Sorry, no. I stole it from EQD forever ago, no clue what happened to it.
1290248
Heh, no worries. I'm still working on it; it's about 2/3 done right now.
1290269
Wow, when you put it like that the plot almost seems strange and confusing!
1290275
Koooooooool.
On a side note, I found a relevant picture this time.

All right, all right, I'm calm, I'm calm.
Oh who am I kidding. KOOLERKID IS WRITING TWISTED TALES THROUGH TIME AGAIN AND HE'S 2/3 OF THE WAY THROUGH! SOMEONE GET ME A MOTHERF***ING TABLE TO FLIP!
P.S. I know I've been one of your more persistent pokers, and I would like to apologize for any annoyance my persistence has caused.

But that's why it's so great. It all makes sense to us because we know the one thing that the royal pony sisters don't that makes everything slot together. It's kind of like Bluelight and the Sisters have swapped their usual roles. Usually Celestia and Luna know everything and Twilight is playing catch up but here Bluelight knows everything and Sisters and having to figure it out.

I never stopped, I've just been going very, very slowly.
And it's okay; sometimes I need to be poked.

I've been flipping every table I can. My parents are giving me strange looks.
Do you have any idea how soon the new chapter can be posted?
That is really quite awesome.
1290245 It's still the cover image on EQD, and I was able to find the original here.
1290145 *pulls out the Praise-Showerer 5000 machine, points it in Nutjob's direction and turns it on to maximum.* Thanks for motivating him once again. I'm still waiting for "Lady" Blueblood to get her comeuppance.
This is a good picture, but I'm not going to lie, I think the other picture makes a better cover image, as far as grabbing the audience's attention. This is more like... an illustration, though a nice one. It feels like it's more for people that already know a little about the story, if that makes sense.
Still, if it gets the next chapter out, I'll sing NutjobEP's praises to the sky. Among other things, I like the framing effect produced by the two towers. It took me a while to recognize Nightmare Moon's helmet, without her head inside, but Bluestar handing it to young Twilight feels appropriate.
Hopefully the last third of the chapter progresses a bit faster than the first two, since I do love this story and a chapter every year means I'd probably have to wait at least a decade for completion- though if I have to, I probably will. I waited eight years for Children of An Elder God, after all. I just really, really don't want to have to.
Very cute! And very fitting. I look forward to seeing how this will get your muse in gear.
WHOA!
THAT'S A BADASS COVER! I LIKE IT! 
That picture is awesome. No two ways about it. And if it helps encourage you to continue writing an awesome story, all the better!

Awesome cover art. i cannot wait to be able to proofread again for you. :D

*buys NutjobEP a beer*
...What? I'm on a budget, it was either just a simple beer, or I go without food for the week..

But I don't drink.
1295127
Then it was a sarsaparilla. aka root beer
1295140
Oh okay that's fine then.
At least we have proof that you're not dead!
I was updating my profile when I saw this had new cover art. I hope this means new chapter soon!
1290306 Now? How about now? now? Now? NOW?
just poking you. After all I got a friend into this fic and he pesters ME about when it'll update
