Participation Time: What Should I Release Next? · 2:55am Aug 4th, 2016
NOTE: This schedule is temporary and subject to change. College will be starting back up soon for me, so delays are possible.
First and foremost, this week will be an important one. The If You Give a Little Love re-release will end this weekend, meaning that new parts will not come on a biweekly/triweekly basis like newer fans might be used to. Rather, I will try my best for a weekly or bimonthly release and will ideally put out 4 parts a month. Making the parts shorter should streamline my process of writing, but since I'm starting a new companion series to go alongside it, sometimes the original will get moments in the spotlight, and sometimes the other story will. Either way, I will try to update once a week with a new part or two of either story: If You Give a Little Love and the new Diamonds Before Seeds. Some weeks, I may only be able to get one part out due to real-life issues, but I'll try my best to keep my content consistent.
In other news, I'll be releasing a new oneshot Thursday or Friday. It'll be called "Princess Live," and it's a parody of band tropes and idol rhythm games. (If you don't know what the latter is, I commend you for having an untainted, unaddicted mind. You'll still be able to get the story and laugh because you know better than the nerds like me who keep going at it.) Anyway, Twilight gets the princesses to start a band! Get hyped!
This is my biggest priority project right now, and afterwards, I'll either write new If You Give a Little Love scenes or work on the opening for Diamonds Before Seeds. Either is fine by me, and both will get done within the month.
Until then, have some official screenshotted synopsis(es?):
(Also, it won't be anthro; this was just the only image of Twi in an idol outfit I could find.)
Enjoy the stories and enjoy your summer!
P.S. For all the Pokemon Go players out there, my team is Mystic. Hope I don't lose any followers over that...
Twilight needs to take a page from Celestia's book:
Step 1. Detect problem.
Step 2. Throw an alicorn at it.
Step 3. Obtain more alicorns during recovery period.
Step 4. Repeat.

She's got steps 1 and 2 down and is replacing 3 with "sing a ridiculous and not at all dignified pop song and hope the humiliation draws enough ponies to the bookstore."
4130922 Meanwhile, Sunset Shimmer's all like, "Actual Alicorn of Music right here. Could maybe help you out."
4130931
Actually, I'm thinking of putting something in about that.
Jealous Sunset will be jealous.
4130937 And in the Crystal Empire, Flurry Heart saves a failing restaurant by waving vaguely in its direction.
4130942
Actually, Flurry's still in the band! She just does more of metal-type screaming than actual singing!
4130947 HAH!
Given I've been playing Hatsune Miku project Diva F2nd all weekend, I'm looking forward to reading Princess * Live!
Also, enjoy you're summer as well!
4130962
Thanks. It's based off a different game, but similar concept. The biggest fun I had with it was making one of the stuck-up ponies from Canterlot Boutique suddenly go into "game nerd talk" (which, for humor's sake, will be largely incomprehensible to most people reading it).
4130965
Oh, what game? Diva F2nds got me interested in trying more in the genre.
And yes, all my yes to gamer nerd Canterlot snob.
4130971
It's called Love Live.
And the snob actually gives Twilight the idea to start a band! She melts into fan-pony mode in the bookstore, thinking nopony is watching...
