    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

    Been a little bit.

    So yeah, it's been a while. I guess I get to share a little news.

    First off, I'm making a little progress on finding a new place. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I'm pre-approved for a mortgage, and now I'm talking to realtors. If I'm lucky, by the end of this summer, I'll have found a place and moved into it.

    Just a random question.

    Does anyone re-read my stuff? Just go back and refresh their memories regarding my storyline? I'm curious.

    Oh, and what I was saying last time? I feel comfortable sharing it now - I'm pre-approved for a mortgage. I'm about to start househunting!

Took a while, didn't it? · 12:24am Jun 3rd, 2016

"Reflections: Quiververse Edition" has gotten four hundred views for its first chapter. Took a while, didn't it?

I'm not surprised that it's not a popular one - it's an adaptation of a comic story that had very mixed reviews, and it doesn't have the benefit of Sunset Shimmer in a prominent role. I mostly adapted it so that I could make some changes in light of plans for future stories, changes that are still having consequences down the road. Plus it was something of a test, to see if I could get away with adapting a story from the comics. I think I mostly got away with it because I made sure to credit the original artists, because I made changes to the material in question, and because...well, I'm not exactly a prominent author, am I?

Anyway, I do have plans to do more comic adaptations, though they'll wait for Season Two. There's three stories in particular that I plan to build upon and try to fix flaws with, though I'll keep them to myself for now. That said, after a certain point, there will be comic stories that will be outright incompatible with the Quiververse - I refuse to touch that upcoming "Ponies of Dark Water" story, for example, simply because I hate that 'good guys turn evil because of plot device' storyline.

As for comics that I do consider to be canon thus far, well, I'll update with a rough list and continuity notes once I've got a few more stories done. Here's hoping someone out there's looking forward to that.
