    Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3... nope.

    If I see one more episode of any damn thing where a student's refusal to even try is framed as the fault of the teacher- ugh.

    I could have LOVED that episode, and all it would have taken was a bit of effort from Rainbow. An admittance that she was trying and it was hard and it wasn't working. It threads through the episode- even with what Fluttershy says when she breaks them apart.

    Raindrops' Hiatus; Friendship is Mandatory.

    Holla!

    Two things: first, I'm putting Raindrops' Wrap Up on indefinite hiatus. I have plan to finish it, but I think it's fair to say that at this point either that'll never happen or one day you'll log on and it'll just be DONE, with about 35 new chapters in your feed.

    Secondly, as a kind of apology, I've got this for you:

    My Little Pony: Friendship is Mandatory.

    Tiny Human Baby

    Holla!

    I have a son! The tiny human baby is called Teddy and was born on the 17th- in the run-up and the last few weeks I've sort of dropped off here. But now I'm back- got my lunch hours to myself at work again, so Raindrops' Wrap Up should be updating a lot more often now. Hurrah!

    Good News!

    I'm gonna be a dad!*

    I could not be more excited or delighted. But there's so much work to do, and as a result you'll have noticed that I'm posting less often. I can't really be sorry about that- I think I've got my priorities straight- but you do certainly all deserve an explanation, so this is it!

    Tiny human baby on the way!* Wahoooo!

    Raindrops' Wrap Up: the CYOA conundrum

    Here's an interesting bit of maths for you; CYOA stories present an exponential writing challenge.

    Here's the skinny:

    Everyone reads chapter 1. That's 500 words written, of which everyone reading the story will read 500 words per readr. Lovely.

Congratulations on your spawning of an offspring!

412110 Thanks so much! It's a little daunting but I am getting fully prepared!

412113
Daunting is a good word for it. Being prepared could be a bit tougher than you'd think too. I'm sure you'll manage though, and that things will work out in due time. Keep us updated on things though, you've got a huge support squad out here. Somewhere. Maybe asleep at this hour.

Congratulations! do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet? and did you think of a name?

412120 Nah, we can't find that out for a few weeks, and even when we do find out we're not gonna share it with the world until they're born. For names, we're thinking Constance Jane for a girl (CJ for short) and Theodore for a boy (Teddy for short).

Hey! Congrats! Here's to hope your little fanfic writer in training will have along and healthy life.

That's so awesome! A little baby brony coming to the world! Congratulations, brother!

412141>>412142 Thank you both! It is a pretty exciting time!

Dude, Grats!

And it's okay. Real life always takes precedence over Ponies, even if Ponies are awesome.

D'aww, a little bahbee!

Grats man, I wish you all the best.

On a side note, I checked out your games after the interview got posted, prices seem a tad high to try them out.

Congrats, man! Remember: if you need any advice whatsoever, you've got a ton of people right here willing to help you out.

Awwwww congrats! :pinkiehappy:

And no worries, it's always good to see people with their priorities straight. Keeps us updated though like Anonypony said you've got a big support squad.......I think we're still mostly asleep though.....:twilightblush:

Still congrats again and I'm sure the moon and sun will guide it to a healthy conclusion. :twilightsmile:

Congratulations! May your larva fill your home with joy.

Irl babies > ponies. Good luck!

congratulations in the successfull making of your own to-be minion
now, a quick tip: get all the sleep you can now, it will be 20 years until you can get it again

Grats! That's one way (and a very fun way) of getting more MLP fans :) :twilightsmile:

Yay! :D Congratulations ^^

412220 Wow, thanks for even having a look! The prices are high, but that's because printing costs seriously eat up about two thirds of that. We're experimenting with shorter-form, rules-light games, which are turning out to be a big hit- they're going to hit the website soon, but I think it's probably the way we'll go in future.

412180>>412188>>412223>>412226>>412238>>412254>>412262>>412300>>412312>>412324 Thank you all so much for your kind words! I will totally be asking you all your advice on how to get a baby out of the toaster or something, I'm sure of it. :pinkiehappy:

412335 very carefully, with tongs.

412337 Tongs! Of course, it's so simple! *leaves to adapt toaster with handy tong hook*

Wooden tongs, to minimize electrocution risk.

Congratulations, good sir! I don't suppose you're hoping for a specific gender, are you?

412342 Honestly, I'd be happy with either, neither or both, so long as they and my wife get through the whole thing with minimal injury! There are times I've daydreamed about having either a son or daughter, but it's not going to break or make my heart whatever happens. The important thing is: TINY HUMAN BABY

Oh, wow! Super huge congratulations! :twilightsmile:

412335 Dude my wife and I are talking about kids all the time actually, since we're getting our first nephew next year. You bet it's gonna be the other way around.

Awww, a little babby born into a world of love, tolerance and harmony :3

Congratulations on being a father! Would you raise your baby to be an X?

412349>>412841>>413286 Thanks to all of you! And while we'll be raising our child to love and cherish all the alphabet, which letter is their favourite is ultimately up to them. :pinkiecrazy:

Congratulations!!!
