Prepare, for the Grim Darkess of the Grim Dark Future... Grimdark. · 12:35am Feb 18th, 2016
So, after months of procrastinating, followed by a few months of actually getting my act together, and getting an editor, I am happy to announce:
MLP:40K Trial By Fire is coming off of hiatus!
Now, I don't think that I have a huge reader base for it, but for those of you who are indeed interested, expect it soon! The prologue and 1st chapter have already been proofed and re-written and now approach readability!
So be prepared!
Or, enjoy?
I need to get better at announcing things.

It was a valiant effort, but I've actually had that problem before, and I won't fake it for fear of Colt-Who-Cried-Wolf syndrome.
Maybe I can say that "I'm dying...." for my story to come out...

No, no, no, I mean I was taking a medication that actually put me there. Like ultra bad, not fueled by bad life choices or bad luck. I was chemically forced into a suicidal depression.
Thank Celestia for ponies.

Yeah, hooray for medications that mess with brain chemistry. Good thing I still had enough sense of self preservation left to tell my wife. If I recall correctly, I had spent an entire forty-five minute drive calculating which method of offing myself would net the best result. Looking back on it, the worst part is that I wasn't actually feeling sad at the time. The meds had somehow caused me to bypass the first four stages of grief and land straight on step 5, acceptance that I was dead, so I'd better work on the "how." That is why meds that say "if you feel x tendencies, stop immediately" they MEAN IT.
3761870 Egad. Yeah, the meds can be good or bad. I'm glad we still have you in the world.
Unrelated: Can you believe it's been more than half a year since the original version of Taco Sonata? For me, that was pretty much the moment when I knew I was in this FimFiction thing for the long haul.
I guess it's about time to pour out a proverbial forty on the curb for Miranda, but at least we're still hanging in there.

I'm sad she's gone. I keep trying to lure her back.
Benefits of having a DA page, I can still bug her from time to time.
Moosetasm... he says he's a Grimdark and Grimdarked regularly but let's look at the facts:
When it came time to tackle Nightmare Moon the scariest moon of them all she was the punchline to a comedy. *Dramatic music*
Then he wrote a story about "Muffin Love" that was also a comedy and claimed to be dark but not a romance. Looks to me like Moosetasm can't get his stories straight! *Dramatic music intensifies*
"I was hoping to be darked grimly but because of Moosetasm I had a sunny day!" -seemingly random obviously paid lady.
That's why this year there's only one choice for Grimdarkest Grimdark and that's MisterNick!
"Oh sure it's fun to horse around with comedy at times, but when it's time to Grimdark I'm your guy. Want children terrorized? Want old people creating blood sacrifices? Do you want to a cannibal fashionista who's also fabulous? Then I'm the candidate you're looking for!"
Pick Dark! Pick Nick's team in '16!

Looking forward to the reboot sir!

Hay! I never said that "I" was Grim Dark!
I'm just saying that if you want Grim Darkness in a Grim Dark setting of the Grim Dark future, then the Grim Darkitude of MLP:40K will satisfy all of your Grim Dark needs for Grim Dark... Grim Dark.
