    It has been quite some time since anyone has heard from Crystal and me. I wanted to briefly interrupt the silence let those fans left know that they will soon be able to complete their 'Royal Guard Trilogy' physical collection.

    Secrets Hardcovers Wave 2 Update

    Hi all!

    We have the hard covers here at the house. Due to some unexpected work travel I haven't had the chance to get to them. Crystal and I are going to clear some time out tonight to get them signed and packaged. I hope to actually have them out the door tomorrow or Monday.

    Thank you for your patience!

    Cleaning out the game room: Free/PWYW Items

    Pony pals

    I am cleaning up my game room and that is producing a lot of items that we simply don't play. Old, new, never opened, etc. The point is, they need to go and I'm not looking to recoup much money on this.

Ask Us 1/8/16 - Plus Updates · 4:34pm Jan 15th, 2016

Scene of the Quarter

We're almost done with the first ever scene of the quarter and let me say it is amazing. I'm stunned by the work Painted Wave has done. She's awesome! Here is your teaser

For patrons, the voting is still on for the next one. We're almost out of time there though so please get your vote in.

Hardcover Update

The hardcover demand has been overwhelming. We've hit 41 books already. If we get to 60 the price will drop dramatically to less than $40.00 per book shipped in the US. I really appreciate all of your support on this! I wasn't even sure we'd have 15 people interested. This has been going a lot further!

Details Here

Ask Us

It is now time for me to answer your questions! If you have your own for me, Crystal, or our characters please head over to our Ask Us form!

Azure Rain asked:

Have you ever recovered from that horrible ordeal?

Star Flank asked:

I am really curious, and not sure if anyone has already asked this question, but what does the hierarchy of the Royal Guard look like in your universe? What is the ranking system? And how is it broken up when you look at the individual groups like the Palace Guard, House Guard and I believe the other group is called the Canterlot Guard, yes? I'd like as much detail as you have. I'm honestly having a hard time picturing it as I'm reading your Memoirs of a Royal Guard story is all.

zyr asked:

Why are you so interested in Crystal and Velvet having sex? I mean, you were fantasizing about it a week before your wedding!

pertelote345 asked:

What would you say to your mother if she came back, wanting to be a part of your life?

Octavia Harmony asked:

So Sogni diVolare of Princess Luna's House Guard, Bravo Squad, whose name to the best of my knowledge means "Dream of Flying", is an earth pony? He should check out the airships.

What sort of inspiration did you have when you established the idea of the House Guard? It's certainly not touched upon in other stories, so it's very unique, but were their initial struggles with planning out what part Silent Knight played in how the Royal Guard is structured?

zyr asked:

Have you ever told Crystal or Winterspear about your time as a mare?

:ragnhild: You look delicious little pony.
:silent: Gazing upon your magnificence inspires gibbering terror.
:ragnhild: Flattery will get you nowhere morsel.

Brain fart: I'm completely blanking on who that big thing is:twilightsheepish::fluttercry:

Yeah, that would do it. The face there looked like a big panther to me, and I couldn't remember him meeting a panther:twilightblush::facehoof:

It's almost as if Silent's bitter about Iridescence telling everypony about his transformation...:trollestia:

And there's something inherently strange about Ferrel trying to make a joke. Probably because I'm so used to her being so serious.

Also, since you mentioned it, I'm curious, if there was a tie for the top vote getter in the scene of the quarter voting, how would you break it?

3688449 We'd have a run off with the two tied ones and eliminate the others.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but when I try to go follow the link for the voting page, I'm given a 404 page saying that page doesn't exist.

You have to be logged into the Quill & Blade site as well as be a Patreon or it won't work.

3692407 Well I suppose that explains why it doesn't work for me then

3692416 Sorry about that! I had the error pages appropriately explaining the Patron thing for pages, but not posts, because I'm a dunce. That should be fixed now!
