Why the overused cover art for Blue? I have seen it a million times in every fan-fiction including Scootalo
and Rainbow Dash
and it makes the story look a bit like you everyday Rainbow Adopts Scootalo.

Honestly, I had no idea that it was such a popular cover-art pic. I was just looking around for the right image, stumbled across this one, and thought it was perfect for the mood of the story. I wasn't until a week or so later that I properly realized I'd used the most common Scoots & Dash coverart. I've considered changing it, but, well... I've grown fond of it. 
I know you posted up a blog that shows a tentative schedule of your writing, but is the sequel to your awesome story Numbers coming out soon?

As soon as possible. Between school and life in general, I haven't had much time, but when I can, I've been working my flank off! I fully intend to have the double release of the prologue/first chapter out by Sunday at the latest, since I've got a long weekend to pull things together.
I have been waiting for the Numbers sequel forever. Starting to go a bit crazy..
I mean, don't publish it if you don't think it's ready. But we won't mine looking around a few spelling errors.

Fixing my spelling mistakes now means I won't have to later, as well as higher quality reading for you. 
As I said above, I plan on having the story up by Sunday. If not, feel free to tell me what a horrible, lying, selfish person I am.
I want to know, what spurred your idea for Numbers? Definately my favorite of all of your stories.

I guess I got the initial idea when re-watching Family Appreciation Day. I always felt like Filthy Rich didn't get enough screentime, and I disliked his constant negative portrayal in most stories. I started considering writing something to show him in a more positive (if ignorant) light, as well as explore the relationship between him and his daughter. I sat down to write on day... and it just happened. I certainly never expected it to be half as popular as it turned out to be. 
What made you decide to portray Mr. Filthy *Cough Cough* Ahem Mr. Rich, the way you did? Most stories make him out to be almost as bad as his daughter. If not, worse.

I just... I felt like he got too much of a bad reputation in the fandom because of his daughter. I've seen more than a few decent parents who have brats as kids and just are too blind to see it. What I saw in Family Appreciation Day gave me the opinion Filthy was more like that then an actual bad pony himself. I wanted Numbers to express that.
That's it! Thanks for the few, but great, questions I got!

All right then, sorry if I sounded like I was rushing you, I wasn't of course, since you have your own life to deal with, school and all. Once again, can't wait to read the sequel to Numbers!
