    First blog in 4 years!

    Wow, I really did kinda just fall off the face of the site for a while as a writer, huh? It's been forever. I've literally gotten married since last time.

    I'm going to try not to make any promises as I did in previous blog posts. That never ends well.

    Instead, here are some updates on what I'm working on, and what has yet to be published here.

    Behind the Scenes

    Sorry for no updates, as usual (at this point). I've been having some real life stuff happen. TL;DR is that my grandpa is basically nonfunctional from cancer, my grandmother is overworking herself to compensate, and I'm the glue keeping them from falling apart at the moment.

    Here are a few updates concerning my fics.

    I'm canceling The Day The Show Reset.

    So, about those chapters.

    I came back to the site with the promise of more chapters. And I started writing! But then Christmas happened. And then real life kicked in. And now it's 3 months later, and I've not posted anything.

    Long story short, the only writing I'm doing at the moment is commissioned writing. I will try to work on my Screwball story once I have my current commission out of the way. Sorry.

    Where Have I Been? - An Update

    Long story short, college happened, and I've started up a TTRPG again. Between those things, I don't really have much time for anything else, and the time I do have I usually use to read. However, I've been by no means entirely dead on the writing front since I last wrote things for this website. Here's a preview of some fanfics I have been working on whenever I can.

The Canon of "The Day the Show Reset": A Quick and Dirty Guide · 12:13am Apr 22nd, 2018

In the world of The Day the Show Reset, there are a lot of differences to real life, minor alterations from the show, and decisions on how the chronology of the show plays out. This blog will be updated as more details about the fic's canon are decided.

  1. Equestria Girls is canon.
  2. Every month has 30 days, and there are no leap years. Because I hate math.
  3. The series begins in the year 1106.
  4. Twilight and her friends are about 15-17 when the series begins (and 22-24 when it ends).
  5. Spike and the CMC are around 7-8 when the series begins (and 14-15 when it ends).
  6. There are 7 years between the first episode and the last.

LAST UPDATED: 7/18 (will be updated again later, possibly to add Rollercoaster of Friendship and the rest of Season 8)

POST-RETCON TIMELINE (FULL)

WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Year 1 (6/14/1106 - 6/13/1107)

Summer

6/14 - Chapter 1

Twilight wakes up to find herself transported seven years into the past, and in her past body. She rectifies the Moon Dancer situation early, and informs Celestia of the situation, though she remains purposefully vague on specific dates, details, and the order of events. Celestia sends her to Ponyville.

6/14-6/16 - Chapter 2

Twilight does her best to make sure the Nightmare Moon incident goes as it originally did to prevent any major tragedies, and has Celestia allow anypony to send her letters to get ahead of the Lesson Zero curve. That afternoon, she writes down all of the things she can remember about the future, and creates various charts and graphs. Compiling everything into a succinct report, she sends the report to Celestia, who shows up the next day and asks Twilight if she's really okay with sacrificing the future she once knew for the apparant benefit of Equestria. Twilight takes some time to think.

6/19-6/20 - Chapter 3 (upcoming)

More chapters TBA

I hate math too, specifically Algebra XD

And my MLP story, MLP: Friendship vs Evil, takes place either within the TV show, after the movie, or after the speculative end of the show. EG isn't canon, but there are human characters in there. The majority of main villains exist in the storyline, but as high followers of the actual main antagonist.

And most of my OC characters are canon, but the entire timeline of the story, is an entire loop. Not an infinite loop, cause eventually, the loop is cancelled.

I explained more about it in a blog post. 😄

But anyway, I like your idea of your " Day the show restarted " story. 😄

The series begins in the year 1106 After Discord, a little over 5 years before the Season 8 episode "Horse Play".

So, this story begins after this season 8 episode (which I have no clue what it is and I don't want to know yet) or doesn't this begin at season one, episode one?

The series begins [...] 5 years before [...] Season 8 [...]

Let me simplify that sentence for you.

4844866
So... is this season one, episode one?
