    Would you like to be a pony?

    Just curious, but if reincarnation was genuinely a thing, would you like to be reincarnated as a pony? If so, which type? And would you want to retain the memories of your previous human life?

    I've just added a commissioned picture to A Steady Heart - part 3. SunnyWay did a gorgeous pic of Steady and Mark flying together on their date. Here it is for your convenience.

    More new art

    I just got a Patreon sketch from RatedPonystar for the "It Takes Six" story – a nice family portrait of Gilda, Big Mac, and their son, Goldspur.

    Gilda-Big Mac art for "It Takes Six"

    The wonderful KlaraPL has just completed a pic I commissioned of Big Mac and Gilda for the story. I have added it to the chapter, but because people are unlikely to notice unless they re-read the story, I'm putting it in this blog too.

Oops! There Goes My Head-canon! · 11:50am Oct 15th, 2015

The official map of Equestria has been officially updated, and of course it has blown away some of my head-canon, especially as to the location of Griffonstone. That's the perils of fanfiction though. :facehoof:

I think I might have made use of the Griffish Isles if I'd known about them sooner.

Seems like a whole new western addition has risen out of the ocean too! :rainbowderp:

So Our Town has been renamed Starlight's Village.

Is there a higher res of this somewhere?
I'm having trouble reading some things.

Lol Macintosh Hills :P

3471638 Go to here, that should help.

Also, as for head canon not matching up super perfectly with actual canon....

SMASH HEAD CANON! Or just fudge it and say the griffy lands are further east of Griffonstone. Also, Griffish Isles... does that mean Robin Hood was an Earth Pony who robbed from the rich, greedy Prince John Griffon?

I was actually already thinking of your version of the Griffon Lands just being the inland portion of that right continent. Griffonstone is pretty close to the shore, and seems more like a city state than an imperial capital or something.

The "Yonder to griffins" arrow has always been there, though :unsuresweetie:

I'm always going to stick to the headcanon map I made based off of this one. While I'm happy they made it canon that the Griffon kingdom is far east of Equestria, I really don't like the land they added attacked to the western coastline. It doesn't make sense.

Which is why I put Griffonia there. The Griffonstone episode happened after that.

I haven't gotten started on A Different Perspective yet, but... I don't see the issue? It's right where the arrow pointed at? :unsuresweetie:

3471763 Seems like that's as good as it gets so far without having a physical copy.

Quite honestly, as awesome as this updated map is, it's not going to mess with my own headcanons at all. (Well, very, very minimally, anyway.)

Mainly because the majority of my stories are alternate universe ones, and I'm sticking to either the original official map for locations, or the ones that I'll be making myself for them.

I'll probably use this one eventually, though. It'll depend on the situation and circumstances.

Hmm... Damnit Pinkie this map makes your trip to yakington make even less sense. It seems you went everywhere in equestrian except Yakington.
