    Exploiting the Crystal Mirror

    It has been several months since the end of DPGCMC, and without much of its tourist trade, the Crystal Empire has seen better days. One thing the Empire does have is the Crystal Mirror, and an old friend of Cadance's just stepped through it.

    Yes, DPGCMC is now complete.

    If you started reading when one new chapter was up and didn't see there were four, well, you have more reading to do.

    All three CMC have their marks and are pretty well defined in their new roles. In essence, anything going forward would not be the day to day goings on of the crusaders anymore, but things set on a much greater time scale.

    Status Report on DPGCMC

    The next chapter is 60-70% complete.
    The one after that is 55-65% complete.
    The one after that is 75-85% complete.

    If you are thinking, "Hey wait a minute -- that means you could have had two chapters out already if you had posted them as you wrote them and didn't write ahead so much," you wouldn't be wrong.

    Season 7's CMC and DPGCMC

    The more I see of season 7, the more I realize just how much the CMC have lost by taking up Discord's offer. By, in a way, cheating themselves to some semblance of adulthood, they got tons of responsibility before they were quite ready for it, and it significantly changed the way in which they developed. It also removed some of the cohesion that they still have in actual canon. They also

    I am not a songwriter -- are any of you?

    One thing some of you know, and others might not, is that I tend to bounce about a bit in my writing. I tend to write pieces of future chapters at the same time as I am writing my current chapter.

I am not a songwriter -- are any of you? · 4:14pm Jan 1st, 2017

One thing some of you know, and others might not, is that I tend to bounce about a bit in my writing. I tend to write pieces of future chapters at the same time as I am writing my current chapter.

There is a song I want Sweetie Belle to sing to Rarity in the chapter after this one, or at the very latest, the one beyond that. I have known of this for literally years, and I have stared at the void of the song, writing small amounts of it that never quite come out right for those same years. Nothing I have thus far tried has done it any modicum of justice.

It doesn't need to be long, and it is just lyrics for Sweetie Belle, but if I do it myself, unless I make some mammoth breakthrough, I am likely to cop out and meta it.

And yes, I have been working at the current chapter and the two after it. I wanted it posted before I got really busy for Christmas. Of course I turned around and instead got sick (and my writing when I am sick stinks), and once I got over it, I was more stressed for time that I would otherwise have been. At any rate, the year is now over, and the chapter will be out this month, quite possibly in the first half of the month, and at the very worst a few days into February.

Which again puts me yet closer to needing that song.
