    Something in the works? Maybe?

    A thestral, a siren, a zebra, a dragon, a changeling, a kirin, three unicorns, three pegasi, three earth ponies, and three alicorns all walk into a bar.

    They then get kicked out because that's way too many characters with "primary/secondary protagonist" billing for one story.

    [Snippet] The Ponyville Numbers Station

    Sunset Shimmer set about unpacking her things. Though still reluctant toward the idea of staying in Ponyville long-term, she was at least going to make sure she was comfortable here during her visit. After a solid couple hours of work, the previously-bland master bedroom had been transformed into something far more cozy. The bed was made, her spellbooks and theory texts placed snugly on a

Minor Setback (JJJ update) · 9:18am Jul 15th, 2016

Pretty Much Good To Go, Probably
The Atlantis Scenario (Chapter 2)
Sirens In The Distance (Oneshot)

Needs Editing
Fluttering, Shimmering (Chapter 1)
Harbringers (Chapter 1)
Temptation Waits (Chapter 2)
Of Responsibility (Day One; Afternoon)
Lunch Break (Oneshot)
The Shore Of Infinity (Chapter 1)

Needs Revision
Contrast (Prologue)

I finally looked back at one of my planned releases with a more critical eye, even before my pre-readers have had a chance to get to it, and I came to an awkward realization.

Okay, that's exaggerating a bit, but the fact remains that I was somehow blind to the fact that two thirds of the prologue both fail to do what I intended with them, and kind of rush through plot points that really shouldn't even come up yet. So I'm thinking about either cutting it down to the one okay section, or revising the two problem ones in a major way to fix those issues. It'll more likely be the latter, so it might be another week or two before things are ready again. Hopefully that will give my pre-readers time enough to look at the other eight, though, so that once Contrast is really ready to go, everything else will be as well.
