    Long time, no see.

    It's been eight months since I last posted a chapter.

    Just let that sink in.

    Well how about that!?

    Just Like Clockwork apparently managed to seduce whatever subroutine, script or algorithm it is that manages the FimFiction features box last Sunday morning, allowing it to remain on the homepage until the early evening. Thanks so much for your readership everyone! :raritystarry:

    JLC turned 1...and I forgot to celebrate!

    Hi everyone,

    Just Like Clockwork has just reached its 100th favourite (which is a big deal for me since it was my first ever fanfic). Not only that, it turned 1 year old just last month, officially making me one of the slowest damn writers this side of...well, anywhere. (Seriously, 9 chapters in a year!? I need to be careful otherwise I'll end up being as bad as Valve :twistnerd:!)

    New day; same old Compass?

    My good friend J.A.M. (formerly The Amazing Top Hat) has been generous enough to draw another superlative piece of art for me. This time, he's depicted changes in Compass' appearance as a result of the combined Regeneration/Taint exposure at the end of Chapter 6. Strangely enough, I had almost the exact same cosmetic changes in mind, but ended up not working them into the chapter for

    Art! Glorious Art!

    Hey everyone, I have exciting news! I've just received my first ever piece of fic related artwork :pinkiehappy: Fellow Whovian and Brony, The Amazing Top Hat (who I can assure you is amazing in more than just name) has drawn an awesome picture of Compass, Mo and Buckshot, with the Doctor himself as a shadowy figure in the background.

    Thanks so much Top Hat :raritystarry:

It's been eight months since I last posted a chapter.

Just let that sink in.

Eight months! The entirety of Season 4 has been produced and aired in that time! EqG has come and went! I missed Christmas, my fic's two year birthday, everything! I know that I've lost all momentum, and thereby the attention of those that matter: my readers. You guys out there. And I know that I've not been around FimFiction much lately.

Now it's not like I don't have an excuse. Relationship troubles, moving away from home for the first time and starting a PhD tend to add up, and I'd be lying if I said I've been emotionally stable for the past few months.

However... I still have a story to tell. Yes, it's a fan fic, rather than a best-selling novel, or the next Hamlet. And yes, it's a derivative triple-crossover between a children's cartoon, a cult sci-fi series and another fan fic.

I still want you all to know about the tale of time travelling, post-apocalyptic ponies that's swimming around in my head. My pace may be slow (read: glacial), but by Celestia, I intend to tell it.

To those whom it may concern: Just Like Clockwork is back.

It'll take a while before I can get to the latest chapter with everything else I need to get done, but damn if I haven't been waiting for this.

Cheers man, and take your time - there're still two more parts to this sub-arc to come :trollestia:

Well, time to update my Kindle, can't wait to see how awesome this one is.

2120371

Thanks man - I was really worried that no one would care the next time I updated. :pinkiesad2:

Those concerns, however, have already been dispelled :yay:

Dude, there was no need to worry, you have in my opinion one of the absolute best FoE fics out there, and that's coming from someone who doesn't know half the source material.

I want to though just haven't gotten around to it. :twilightblush: But from what I understand Dr. Who is rout up my ally. At the very least I need to see the ones by Douglas Adams, that guy's one of th greatest authors ever. Love Hitchhikers. :pinkiehappy: But that's for another day. :rainbowlaugh:

2120403

Aw thanks man :twilightblush: That's unbelievably nice of you to say.

Also, if you haven't seen Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, I recommend the 1980s BBC TV adaption. It's sooooo good! :moustache:

I've seen that, the watchable but in all honesty kind of terrible movie, read the first four books in the trilogy (have all six though) as well as the spin-off Starship Titanic.

I'm quite a fan.

2120418

Oh sorry man, I thought you were just getting into them :twilightsheepish: Starship Titanic's great isn't it? One of my favourites as well :pinkiehappy:

I wish I could remember the quote I wanted to put up, the one about traffic and how it makes no sense that when it's busiest is when it's slowest.

2120644

I think I know the one you mean - the Journalist says it while stuck in his first Earth traffic jam, right? Something about designing a system that runs faster when it's under a greater load?

Yep, then they just decide, "Screw, it," and fly anyway.
