these titles are hard to pronounce

I leave that job to the Google Translate lady .

These make me laugh extremely hard, pls continue

8/10, nicely done - ign

I love this person.

...I have no clue what I just read. XD

I'd still love to see all of them.

And the end of the IC series... It will be like One Piece. Epically awesome and well worth the slog.

For Appledashery you forgot:
-Pointless references to Austraeouh series.
-Gratuitous holy platypus nuggets mention.

For the Austraeoh series:
-Using names of commentators in-story because it beats coming up with your own names.
-No pointless references to Appledashery, thus violating symmetry.

There were a few unreleased stories I didn't recognize by the cover image, namely the third, fifth, and seventh(?). I'd like to see them all, anyway, but I don't remember them being mentioned before. The fifth in particular looks intriguing, though, as it's a "sequel" to something...

Also, I'm worried about the ending to Yaerfaerda now.

Thank you.

Yep, ten days away from the anniversary of fight club.

I can imagine the lolrage if, at the end if the Austreaoh storyline, it ends similarly to how Big O ended and it just starts over again.

-no one is prepared for how this novel will end

...

Well, nobody was prepared for how Urohringr ended.

I keep telling myself.

Y'know, in all my slobber-chinned predictions of what might happen at the end of Yaerfaerda, it never occurred to me that everyone might be freakin' killed off, or something along those lines.

... how stupid have I been? I knew with whom I was dealing.

Also, is "forever unfinished" code for "cancelled", because "In the Darkness Where I Seek You" has never left the foreground of my anticipation, even after all this time. I loves me some Cellopony.

I will never be ready.

For realsies.

...You evil tease...

everybody falls to their death, only they don't

lolol. Eveyone liked the searos hold arc though.

This grading scale is skewed because everything pony-related you've written is still 10 times better than your college writing and also that terrible angsty poetry.

Except for "My Mail Order Bride", that one was kinda catchy

I'm scared...

we all are

And yet I love them all anyway.

Is anyone else scared about what might be coming in Yaersfaerda? Please say yes, because I'm freaking terrified. Still trying to see if it's a good kind of terror or not.

He's a genius. That's all that can be said. How else does he update all these stories practically daily? I can't even write one chapter before discarding it. It's not fair...

Now I'll have to actually read Yaerfaerda as it happens in order to not die from the sheer volume of spoiler comments as it ends. Also, the other six books.

This feels like me taking a shit all over again.
