Well, hell.
I just realized it has been eight days since my last blog post. In my defence I've been really cracking down and writing hard. Chapters 11 and 12 of The Bridle Path will be out and online in the next 12 hours barring any major last minute problems. After that I am going to take a day or two break for something a little new.
I've been hanging out in the Discord chat of Damaged who is a pretty prolific author here on FiMFiction. There are more than a few authors there and we've been batting around more than a few insane ideas. One of which is doing a sort of shared world thing. The premise is a horrific disaster has struck Equestria, killing most of the populace and leaving the surface environment poisoned and deadly to ponies. There will be tales of sacrifice, of love, of heroes falling and heroes rising. Of enemies forced to work together and what happens when a world governed by the magic of friendship can instead only rely on respect and cooperation.
So, once these two chapters of Bridle Path go live I will be spending a few days hammering out a draft or two of the initial story of this. Heck, we don't even have a name for it. "Fallout" anything has been preemptively rejected, so don't even ask. 
With regards to The Bridle Path. Things are moving toward the conclusion now. There are only 3 major scenes left and then the epilogue. Plus, I did promise to provide a dark ending as well. I've also been receiving a few requests to carry on with more stories in the world of Bridle Path. Perhaps dealing with the long term consequences of the events of that story. I still find it amazing that the little chapter or two story I had intended to write as my first effort grew into such a massive tale. I'm humbled that so many people read my incoherent scrawls and felt them worthy to comment on.
Okay. Recommendations.
Big Macs Duty by Damaged. A gender bending piece of cloppy mayhem. The first chapter didn't thrill me, to be honest. But the following chapters were enjoyable.
And
Bonus: A Note, A Letter, and a Journal Entry by Justice3442. The author polishes off his absolutely epic comedy rage piece "Out of Space" with a brilliant epilogue. I now have to read all of their stories...
Last thing. Regarding the season finale. I have to admit I was "Oh dear God, no. This is the end of the fandom." Then I realized it wasn't, because it isn't my fandom. It's everyone's and everyone isn't going to like everything. Why should I be any different. So, love it or hate it, my advice is to just keep being awesome to each other.
All the best to you and yours.
First things first, if anypony wants to jump in and chat, whether you are a reader, writer, or just love ponies and want some friendship, the Discord server is over Here.
As for the shared-world idea, it is expansive and likely could take the rest of our lives to plan, let alone write. It is going to be awesome. Maybe. Who knows?
Season finale... Well, the most important thing to think first is, don't abandon our little buggy 'lings, though they might be growing up into beetles, that isn't to say ALL stories with changelings loving others is now against canon. I expect that such an event required Thorax to catalyze, without him, undoubtedly a prince or king, the whole event couldn't have happened. Not hard, not rocket "surgery". As for writing stories including the new "changedlings", I believe we should all hold off on that until we get a little more info on them (IE, S7, which we know is now in the works.
Don't stop creating!
For the name, how about: "The last haven", if it mainly revolves around rebuilding population and cities?
