    Realize I haven't breathed a word about this, and that I'm generally silent on the blog side of Fimfiction as it is, but I'm attending Everfree Northwest this year!

    Glimpses 2 - Now Complete

    Though it was a day late, hopefully, it's not a dollar short. I've posted the final chapter of Glimpses 2! I hope everyone enjoys the last chapter and enjoyed the story as I whole. I would also like to thank everyone that submitted suggestions to my blog about a month ago. The anthology would not have been nearly as interesting without your input!

    Last Chapter of "Glimpses 2" slightly delayed

    Just what it says on the tin. Need 1 more day for the "Core" chapter of Glimpses 2. Should be up tomorrow. After that, the story will be complete!

Glimpses - Update Complete - Happy Past Sins 5th Anniversary · 8:33pm Aug 31st, 2016

For those of you waiting to read Glimpses it has been marked as complete, then today is your lucky day. Glimpses has been updated complete.

Also, this officially marks Past Sins 5th Anniversary of Completion. It was on this day, 5 years ago, when the last chapters of Past Sins were posted to Equestria Daily. Like I said in the long author letter in the first chapter of Glimpses, it has been a wonderful 5 years of writing, friendship, and pastel ponies, and I can't thank the community, especially my readers, for making these past years enjoyable.

Thank you so much!

Been there since the start, loved your stuff.

Happy Past Sins Day! Heema Tinga Torgen!

In a little more seriousness, though, congrats, dude. It's been an honor getting to be a friend to an exceptionally talented author these past few years. Past Sins was one of the earlier big stories I read for the fandom. I'll be sure to get you a Nyx plushie when my wife and I start production on those.

Either way, we have to hang out at more cons, do more panels, and get RariJacked by the attendees of our panels again.

I am so happy for ya Pen Stroke! When I first made my account on this site I didn't know what I really liked as far fanfics went, then I found Past Sins and after that I was hooked on fanfics for good. Thank you for lighting the flame that is my love for fanfiction. I hope you have more stories in the future. I will be waiting to read more of them.

Don't thank us, we should be thanking you!

Thank you for all your wonderful work! Past Sins is the story that made me call myself a brony and has been my favorite story in the entire fandom! I wish I could describe my feelings on Past Sins accurately, but instead I'll just say I haven't been captivated by such a tale for several years, and it means a lot to have that kind of rare impact hit me so positively. Congratulations on making such a landmark with your magnificent work, and I look forward to see what you'll write next!

Oh, and Nyx is best fandom OC! No contest there! I even made a commission for this little plushy here (along with Twilight of course)-

You've managed to create a story with a character that has pretty much become a hit for millions of Bronies, and who knows, maybe she'll appear in the show itself, or have a spin off created!

Geez... It's been 5 years since it was made?

Certainly doesn't feel like it.

Congrats on five years:twilightsmile:

Wow, five years of the Brony fandom, has it really been that long? And it's a fandom I hope doesn't plan to go for a LONG time. :twilightsmile:

And Present, you're influence has spread FAR and WIDE, never forget YOUR influence in our lives just as we have influenced YOUR life. :)

Take care dude, and thank you for giving the world Nyx. She truly deserves it.

I haven't been here for very long, not even a year, but congrats on the 5th anniversary. Past Sins is one of my favorite Fanfics (and stories in general) of all time (right under Fallout Equestria and Project Horizons).

It's been 5 years already? Time flies quickly. Congrats!

It's a shame Nyx isn't part of the My Little Pony series. She is really cute!:heart:

You're thanking us? We should be thanking you for giving us such amazing stories. Past Sins was the first MLP fanfiction I ever read, and was my entry into this site. It also remains as one of my all time favorite stories I've ever read.

I was there when you originally posted Past Sins... back on good ol' Google Docs. I loved it. I was enthralled. It's still one of my favorites, and not simply for nostalgia purposes. ;P

Thanks for the great stories bro!

I got a question, are you going to continue (with the main canon) of Nyx? Are you going to make another story?
Anyways, great read. :D

So "Glimpses" is complete already? Wow..... I thought it would be longer.
Even though I couldn't read "Past Sins" yet, it's wonderful that such an old fandom classic got a sequel by the author himself! That's almost like KKat would write an official sequel to "Fallout: Equestria" (which I haven' read yet either, I'm a sad person).
Though, I always feel a bit anxious about reading "Past Sins" since I heard in 2014 that you gave it a major rewrite to fit it into Season 2 canon, cause that basically means the original "Past Sins" is wiped out of existence, which is always a sin to basically "delete" a story, especially if it's one of the fandom classics. :applejackunsure:

The Season 2 variation of Past Sins is, I'd say, 95% the same and all things still basically happen the same way, but with different wording. So I wouldn't say the original was wiped out of existence.

Thanks for everything you've given the fandom, Nyx not the least of it.

When is Past sins ever going to end? Because when a story starts, there must be an ending. Otherwise, if it gets too long, it will get boring.

No offense.

We've always enjoyed your stories and I'll say that it's really good!!!:pinkiehappy:
