    Causes of delay

    So, I've been sitting on the next chapter of Avalanche for some time. At first, it was just because the second two parts seemed redundant. But then I realized I needed to handle dinner and its aftermath, immediately following the previous chapter. Interesting things would happen there, and I totally skipped it.

    After that, I should be pretty much ready to drop two more chapters.

    Somehow I am missing a chapter…

    So, uh, I accidentally a chapter in A Watchful Eye - Either I accidentally overwrote it after everyone read it, or I just outright skipped uploading it in the first place. I think it used to be in, but now it isn't. I have it on my local copy, thankfully, so nothing's missing except maybe some final edits entered on the site, but it looks all right.

    A quick look at a thought process

    So, Exchange Program occurs in summer of 2008 (established by time since 9/11, and also Sunset Shimmer's portal activation date, assuming the show start date is the day that happens in Equestria). And astute readers have noticed that Rachel and Shankar are at least passingly familiar with the LessWrong 'sequences' - a series of essays on a variety of topics, which were written across a period

    50 Questions

    Here are 50 questions about headcanon that Bookplayer recently posed. Obs said that this is borderline in respect to the rules (which I didn't notice until after posting, oops). I don't think this is a proper 'chain' in the objectionable sense, and to make it less like one I'm not suggesting you go out and do this and am not making it trivial to post to the aggregator.

    Renaming Kasumi

    In A Watchful Eye, Hikaru's son, Miroku's father, has been, up to this point, named Kasumi. I had been under the impression that 'Kasumi' was, while usually given to girls, sometimes given to boys, like, say, 'Brook'. But now that I'm rechecking, I cannot find my source on this - it seems to be as thoroughly feminine as 'Alice' (Cooper and In Chains not withstanding).

Reactions to Equestria Girls · 1:35am Sep 15th, 2013

1: Oh boy! They're doing PoE! Originality!</sarcasm> And it's... worse than the average PoE I've read.

2: Twilight Sparkle is a moron.
2a: you have a talking dog. Use him.
2b: you know they have the crown. You have a portal that goes back to Equestria. Send through a note saying 'send through the fake crown'. Minutes later, receive fake crown. Bring to Luna, say that you found this one and you had a similar one which went missing. Make the swap. Or at least try. It's not like you need the fake.
2c: Does it look like anyone else is grabbing things with their mouths? Heck, for dinner, use strategy in 2b, only 'send dinner plz. Hungry.'
2d: You're in a library, and using books is the last thing you try, because... shiny?
2e: Fingers! You've been using fingers for how many hours and you forgot about them?

3: The chase scene towards the end is weak
3a: Twilight Sparkle is able to cross the entire auditorium in like 1 second?
3b: Rainbow Dash (and to a lesser extent AJ) don't outpace the rest of the gang while trying to catch up with Twilight Sparkle
3c: Scott Pilgrim Flash Sentry doesn't follow
3d: No one else follows
3e: Twilight Sparkle didn't hand the crown to, say, AJ, or even Princ(mumblemumble) Celestia, saying, "Keep this totally absolutely safe." before chasing Snips and Snails and Sunset Shimmer
3f: Snips and/or Snails didn't just stop and ambush her after a turn, grab the crown and take it to Sunset Shimmer

4:

5: The rest of the above scene basically only works under chess rules - one person on each side gets to move at a time. I can't see Sunset Shimmer getting a free tackle in on Twilight Sparkle at all, let alone their slow reaching for the crown being at a relevant speed compared to AJ, RD, or PP.

I just stopped after that scene because I thought, "She should have just won. In my head, she did. No need to go any further."
