Greetings My Six Followers! · 8:36am Aug 30th, 2012
YOU! YES YOU! READ THIS BLOG POST!
GENTLEMEN, BEHOLD MY BLOG POST!
Today I was watching Hearts and Hooves Day, and the inevitable moral came up:
A very noble lesson indeed, and Scotaloo's words shall forever ring in my heart. No pony can force two ponies to be together . . . it's up to everypony to choose that special somepony for themselves. What a heart of gold, those three have <3
However, these rules clearly do not apply to FIMfiction writers, who are above and beyond such petty laws of the cosmos. And without further ado . . .
So, my six followers, that brings us to our next topic of discussion: shipping. What does this dusty old corner of the website have to do with it? Well. as you may or may not know (who am I kidding, you HAVE NO IDEA), I am writing an alternate sequel to PonyAmorous' Then Tomorrow Came. The keyword here is 'alternate,' it is by no means canon. PonyAmorous himself is brewing a proper sequel, and I urge you all to hit that up as soon as its posted. That said, I have no idea when he will do so. In the meantime, head on over to his page and read Then Tomorrow Came! A very juicy story written by a very capable author.
In regards to my own sequel, I'd like to shed a little more light on it. It will be very different from PonyAmorous' own sequel, and I will say that the first three chapters have been written and are in the revision grinder. I can not tell you with any degree of certainty whether it is 'good' or not. I have been staring at it for so long that every error has magnified itself to elephantine proportions. In any event, it will eventually go up, hopefully before the end of September. By then I will be returning to college for the Fall quarter and it will be much harder to squeeze out new chapters. It wont be a masterpiece, but I hope to at least entertain you all for a few hours and maybe even earn your watch.
Now before I go, I'd like to thank my editors ThatOnePony, Sabre, Aldea Donder, and PonyAmorous for their wonderful feedback and never-ending patience when it comes to dealing with me. The fic I'm writing is as much their work as it is mine. Please visit their pages and follow their work; they are a very talented group of people!
Right, and this blog entry dies . . . now!
Is it just me or are the ponies faces in that scene very... circular? I've never noticed that before.
More news about sequel. Awesome.
College. Cool. Man, I am a very bad student. I've skipped every single class of mine for the last week. I guess I'm not very motivated. Doesn't help that I have 8am classes three times a week. >.<

8 AM classes? Harsh. I once had a final at eight in the morning; I thought I could go on a study binge through the night and get away with 2 hours of sleep. I was wrong
Well now I feel like kind of a dick for only now noticing this post a month later.
As for when my proper sequel will happen, still no idea. Though if you keep telling people, the shame of being such a lazy bastard might reach a critical mass. Currently crazy addicted to Dragon Age: Origins, which I hadn't played before, so I gotta get that out of my system. Also back in school again where I've shifted gears to enter the a Geology Masters. With any luck I might get to TA some physics classes next quarter.
