    I'm still alive.

    Not much to say, other than I'm still alive and still intermittently working on TRM's sequel. People keep asking me about it, so I figured I should post something.

    Progress Update

    It's been a while since I've posted anything about TRM's sequel and I've had some people send me PMs or post in the comments asking about how it's going. Well, I've got some bad news and some good news (well, better anyway :P)

    Bad news first.

    A Royal Problem

    Whelp, I know I'm supposed to be working on the sequel to TRM, but I had to do a one-shot based on A Royal Problem. Trying my hand at a super quick super short story based on an episode, literally wrote this up in a couple of hours, bit different than what I've been doing, hopefully people will like it. :derpytongue2:

    Anyway, it's submitted and should be up soonish. Oh wait, it's up now. Neat.

    What's next? (TRM Spoilers)

    I'm about a week late with this, sorry about that, work has been crazy busy the last few weeks and my weekends have also been packed. Anyway, this is going to have some spoilers (well, one really) for The Right Man in the Wrong Place so consider yourself warned if you haven't finished it yet.



    I don't feel like wrapping the whole thing in spoiler tags so...

    Busy week

    It's been a crazy week and I just haven't had a chance to do a final pass on the next chapter. I hope to have it ready for tomorrow. Now I've got to run, sorry for the delay!

Man, you got shat on for that one. Hard. Between the knee‐jerk Glimmer defence squad, folks who aren’t familiar with the “How it Should Have Ended” series and its often wildly OoC approach to things chiming in with their 2¢, and the 1.21 gigatwats of uncharitable fucktards presuming to know what you wrote and why you wrote it better than you do, I have no idea how you managed to keep your cool.

Heh, yeah. I was a bit surprised with the reactions. I don't really mind if people don't like a story I write, but it is a bit annoying when people try to tell me why I wrote it. I found the "butthurt accusation fic " comment the funniest because if you look at the comments, virtually every single one that is even slightly positive (or even just neutral) was down voted, as if the very idea that someone might have enjoyed the story offends some people. I'm apparently not the one that is butthurt :derpytongue2:

In the end, A Royal Problem is probably my 2nd favorite episode that features Glimmer (A Hearth's Warming Tail is by far my favorite, absolutely fantastic), Yes, I had some issues with it, but overall it was pretty enjoyable.

Heh. Completely off topic but I just recognised your avatar… then I saw your bio. :facehoof: I get sadly nostalgic every time I’m reminded of T.A.; it’ll never get a true sequel worthy of the name and its spiritual successor’s sequel got fucked over by executive meddling. :pinkiesad2:

SupCom 2 got really badly meddled with but I liked SupCom. It is missing some of the things that made TA so good but, it's still a fun game in its own right. I feel the same way about Planetary Annihilation. It can be fun as hell (I think it does team games amazingly well) but while it has elements of TA, it plays vastly differently.

When Wargaming.net picked up both the rights to TA and hired Chris Taylor I had high hopes for a real TA2, but Chris ended up leaving Wargaming.net and we still have no word on a sequel.
