    Update

    Hi there.

    First off, apologies for the long wait for an update. Ever since I got promoted I have had to do a lot more 'adulting'. Just about got a handle on it and the 'imposter syndrome' was starting to fade when they go a promote me again! (Seriously? What the heck are 'upstairs' smoking... and can I have some?)

    Next chapter now at editor's

    Next chapter, Deterrent (part 2), has now been passed to my editor. Or perhaps 'unleashed upon' would be a better terminology.

    Yes, I agree it has been a (too) long time.

    I claim NO major crisis or drama in my life to account for it. Just life itself ticking-over, inexorably dragging me, kicking-and-screaming, towards being a responsible, mature, grown-up adult.

    ...whimpering sounds...

    Next Chapter soon.

    The next chapter, Deterrent - Part 1, has now been submitted to my editor... for the second time. He (quite rightly) pointed out something the first time, something that was basically 'well that's all a little too convenient', so off I went to sort that out.

    Still Alive

    Just thought I’d drop a quick blog to state that: No I’m not dead... and neither is this story.

    The next chapter is coming along, just more slowly than I hoped, but it is coming together.

    No major drama going on here, it’s just xmas, mum is down with us right now and the longer working hours mean less free time during the working week.

    Chapter will be published Monday

    I haven't heard back from my editor yet, which is highly unusual. Normally a day or two, three at most.

    While I am hesitant to release the chapter with proper editing, I will publish it Monday. Keeping everyone waiting any longer than that is just getting/has already got silly.

    So, I will go through it one more time myself looking for errors.

Delay, I'm afriad · 8:27pm Dec 8th, 2015

The next chapter is going to be delayed until after Christmas I’m afraid.

I am off on holiday in a little over a week and I don’t want to be rushing the chapter by trying to get it out before then.

While it is mostly written, it is just the end part I need to do to my satisfaction. As it is kinda important, I want to make sure I get it right.

So my apologies for the delay.

Unedited spoiler / teaser:

Tipping the mixture into her cauldron, Zecora studied Sunbeam as she waited for it to boil. She noted her half ear; the notch in her horn and the burn marks where her cutie marks should have been.

“Many battles you have seen since I saw you last.”

Sunbeam looked down into her mug. “Yeah. Who knew that hanging around with the bearers could be so bucking dangerous. I got a whole new set of scars.” She played with her mug. “At least the ones on the outside don’t hurt anymore.”

Zecora looked at her intently before nodding and turning away to sprinkle another powder into the cauldron. The mixture inside quickly turned back.

Sunbeam pointed to the bubbling liquid. “See, like I said, gone off.”

Her smile faltered as Zecora shook her head. “That means the mix is still sound.”
