Greetings, I am Merlos the Mad. I am a dabbler of both words and wizardry in my free time. I also invite you all to partake in my musings. Take care though, as they are the product of a madman.

    *Cruises through*

    I was going through an old hard drive and found this sound file I never uploaded. If anybody likes listening to nerds from ten years ago talk about fanfiction with little ponies in it here's one I recorded with Hoopy Mcgee and Mrpockets at our heights of fanfiction. (Warning there is a little vulgarity. I was just out of the army when I recorded this I think. lol)

    Hello everyone, just an update.

    Well, suffice it to say, my renewed effort to start updating to schedule once again didn't pan out. It was maybe a bit naive of me to try and hold myself to that, especially considering how bad my track record had been the last couple of years. Still, I felt I had to try.

    Moving Forward, cause I'm back!

    I probably don't deserve to use a song this awesome, but...

    Heeeello everypony. I hope you've been enjoying the updates so far. Or, at least, you know, tolerating them.

    Whoooa. Two blogs in one year? Who am I and what did I do with the real Merlos!

    It's true, I am in fact... a changeling! The real Merlos is currently locked in the basement of this stinky wizard tower, and I am readying Queen Chrysalis' eeeevil plan to take over all the fimfiction writers and then the whole world! Bwahahaha!

    Except not.

Chapter Four, but wait, there's more!? · 5:44pm Oct 4th, 2014

Yes that's right, there's another chapter upcoming after this one. And the best part? I plan on posting it only two days later, come monday, thus finishing the story. *sobs*

Now, if you're familiar with some of my other stories and my drive to try and tell as complete a story as possible, even with what was meant to be a short story or even a one shot, then you know I do this a lot. :twilightblush: So, without further ado, the thrilling conclusion to The Mane Makes The Pony: Surprise!

I can't really express properly my apologies for taking so long. For those of you that don't follow me, but merely favorited Pinkie Pie's story and haven't been keeping up with my very, very rare blog posts, nothing is wrong on my end, really. I'm fine, I'm healthy, I'm in good spirits and no I haven't died.

In truth, I've mostly just fallen short of the creative spur I had last year for writing for ponies. A small part is that yes I detest eqg and a good portion of the show's recent story arcs and that makes me lose interest in taking part. That, and if you also didn't know, I used to be in the Military until this last fall. I recently got out and have been vacationing for... well, nearly a year now. :twilightblush: Much gaming has been done, many pizzas devoured, but noooot so much writing.

The short of it is really that I went into my comfort zone, and with no nagging job to make me want to write as a distraction, I haven't been updating much. So that's that, and I do hope to get back to updating like a crazy person eventually. For now though I'm just going to wrap up this tale that should have been done half a year ago at least.

I hope you all enjoy this thrilling conclusion! Neither Pinkie Pie nor I have spent any expense for this story, and it has been polished to a very shiny sheen. I'm not exactly promising perfection, but I am quite proud of this upcoming finale.

Until then!

You could keep going... it might help :pinkiecrazy:

No madverse updates?

Awwwww :pinkiesad2: :fluttercry:

2506276 Do you really want him to keep this story perpetually marked as 'incomplete' for the next five years? I think I'd much rather see a good, fulfilling resolution to this clever story, good sir.

2506427

Sowwy, still fetlock deep in production and procrastination there. :trixieshiftright:

2506439
Well, procrastination is an important part of the creative process, I guess :unsuresweetie:

2506431 It's a joke between him and I. I just wanted him to keep apologizing :rainbowlaugh:

2506762

Uggh, and I've been rewarded for my efforts with two downvotes.

Gets the boose and drowns in it.

Looking forward to the updates. And as someone still in the military but looking to get out early through the reserves, I'm hoping my vacation time sounds just as good as yours.

I dont know if youve seen the new EQG but it exceeded expectations. Because there were no expectations.

But seriously I liked it.

2507407

I've heard, but I'm not really of a mind to care. I will let this, like the last, pass on by. :trixieshiftleft:

2507437
Fine. You've forced my hand. I will have to make Rainbow Rocks inside jokes on all of your future blog posts. Did you know I love Taco Tuesdays?

note: I will likely forget to make more inside jokes by the next blog post

I was listening to this and thought of you. Don't know why. I guess I tend to think of you during my free time. That's not creepy, right?

This is the soundtrack for RR. If you like any song from the show, you'll love this. You don't even have to watch the movie. Just enjoy the music.


Spoilers: Trixie has her own song. And Rainbow Dash. And Vinyl (it's dubstep, no less). And tons of other awesome tracks.

So yeah.

Merlos, 10 days != 2.

I knoooow. I've been putting off writing the last thousand or so words. I'm such a hack. D:

2531875 Think of it this way, you're a thousand words away from being able to slap a big fat complete sign on it! You're in the home stretch!

2531875 stop being lazy and do it

Want to... want to help? :trixieshiftleft:?

No, Stop merlos! Merlos >.< Bwuh ahaha... What have I become!? :raritydespair:
