    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.

(Lack of) Progress Update · 4:56am Nov 12th, 2014

So, you may be thinking, alright, arcum, you put your other two fics on hold, now you've got a lot more writing time, so how about an update on Cubic Zirconia?

Unfortunately, it doesn't really work like that. My slow updates have been with spending most of my writing time on Cubic Zirconia. I had been getting a lot of it done on weekends, but the last couple weekends have either had very little writing done, or one memorable weekend recently where something I ate basically took me out of the picture for most anything for most of the weekend.

I have had a couple times recently where I've managed to get small amounts of writing done, and my current work in progress chapter is at 2258 words right now. Of course, there's a note that I have to do some revision in one spot where Scoots attitude is wildly fluctuating more than it should be. "Apple Bloom, you suck! Yay, horseradish!"

So no idea on the timing on the next chapter yet. Hopefully I manage to get some serious writing on it done soon...

I totally agree.
Yay horseradish.
