    Art Commission By Beaniebabykin

    So, still in the phase of debating rebooting the story, but I did say that I was looking to get a commission done based on it and so I did. Artwork is done by Beaniebabykin on Twitter and will likely serve as the cover art for any future long-term reboot (thinking of doing a one-shot centered on Trixie as Luna's apprentice to warm up first):

    MLP Month on My Analysis Blog

    Hey everyone, this is just a quick announcement that while I'm not quite yet in a position to get back to doing fanfiction right now, I am doing an MLP themed month over at my analysis blog in celebration of the new movie. In addition to a review of the original three episodes of Friendship is Magic, I'm doing character builds of various characters in tabletop gaming, with a focus primarily on

    Just Minor Update

    Hey, apologies that it's been a while since there's been an update on the story. Things have been somewhat crazy at the moment for obvious reasons. Over the last few weeks had to: move all my course online, move out of dorm (so in a completely different state right now), had a competition that had to get moved online, and am currently finishing up dissertation project stuff. Not going to even

In Somepony's Shadow Stuffs · 5:09pm May 1st, 2016

...okay, my bad here XD. It's been what, almost a year since the last update. I've mentioned I'm a graduate student working on a Ph.D before, right? Papers, classes, research projects, conferences and stuff. Eats up a lot of time. Add in my natural procrastination and, well, no surprise I kind of neglected the fic.

Spoilers for this week's MLP episode

And now we got a wonderful new episode with Trixie >u>. And with the urge to get back to the fic...right at the end of the semester with papers and presentations XD. I'm also really tempted to rework the current chapters to set the timeline a little bit into the current season so I have an excuse to add Starlight Glimmer as a character. Cause I loved there interactions so very much >u>. Although it would sort of disrupt the current plans I had for the fic with being set prior to Tirek....

Gonna have to think it over a bit.

I wouldn't mess with what's established, personally. It seems unfair to the people who've read and followed the current version of the story so far; and it seems like the sort of thing that's always more work than you expect it to be. Up to you, though.

3910952 Eh, honestly, maybe not that much work. I have only like a few lines here and there that clearly set it during season 4 (mention of that messy eating at that fast food place by Twilight in a recent news thing). The biggest thing it would change would probably be my original plot with Discord since my ideas might not make as much sense for post-season 4 Discord. But might be able to make it work.
