    An Old MFAB Second Chapter Draft

    You know, I never continued Magical Filly Apple B, and I suspect I never will, but I do have a fair amount of an old draft lying around for the second chapter.

    I remember I really felt like I needed to go through and revise Twist's familiar's accent, as it was getting rather out of control. I was having trouble with Twist's lisp, a bit, too.

    Familiarity Signal Boost / JWI excerpt

    Just thought I'd provide a signal boost to Fervidor's new story, Familiarity.

    TFamiliarity
    Scootaloo's life changes forever when she meets Fang, a strange magician who is not what she seems. As the two grow closer, secrets are revealed. What does it mean to be a familiar?

    I'm tagging this with Just Winging It, since there are some elements in common, and I think people that like it might also like Familiarity, from what I've read so far.

    Convention Safety

    While I should probably do a post on having updated Cubic Zirconia, in this case, I'm doing a signal boost on horizon's latest blog, as it is a subject people really should be aware of:
    The elephant in the equine room

    I'm All Right

    Just a quick note, as it occurred to me that some people may remember that I live in Las Vegas.

    I'm totally fine. The only time I went out yesterday was to the grocery store, and thankfully I was not where the shooting occurred. First I knew about it was this morning, when I went into Facebook, and it asked me to confirm that I'm alright.

    Yeah, I suck... (re: writing, or the lack therein)

    I was just looking, and Cubic Zirconia hasn't been updated in almost a year. I promise I haven't forgotten about it.

Cubic Zirconia Update (Sort of) · 6:59am Oct 3rd, 2014

I thought I'd let everyone know that I did something I've been thinking of doing for a bit.

I wasn't quite satisfied with the first chapter of Cubic Zirconia compared to the others. So I treated it like a rough draft and rewrote. The scenes are effectively the same, with minor differences, but the writing is better in general. You don't actually have to reread it to keep going with the story, since I didn't change any major details, though a few minor things are done differently.

I also updated another chapter to have Archer listed as an earth pony, but that was just a silly oversight on my part.

You also might be interested to know that I'll be posting the next chapter within the next few days. I'm just finishing putting the final touches on it...

You can be forgiven for getting Archer's type wrong, since she looks so much like Scootaloo.

Yeah. It irritated me to notice it, but it also gave me ideas that worked their way into the fanfic, so I'm fine with that...
