    *eye roll*

    me checking the dislike ratio on my new story

    Glad to know bigotry is still alive and well in this fandom.

    It's glad to see some of us didn't watch the same series as I did.

    So where I've been

    Okay, uh... how do I begin this? Well, I suppose I should start with the obvious. Yes, I've been distracted. If you follow me on Archive that should be obvious. And if you don't, you totally should btw. Yes, I'm shameless.

    Been a hell of a ride, honestly. I just apologize for dragging it on for so long.

News for Going Deep Under fans · 1:48am Jul 20th, 2018

Okay, now I may have already made a blog post about this, not sure, but just for the record, Going Deep Under is, at last, getting a sequel titled Unraveled. Here's the premise along with cover art below that. It's been little over three years since Twilight Sparkle discovered the lost city of Neighlantis along with the rest of the crew of the Moby Dick, with the adventures chronicled by none other than Grape Vine under the name of "Purple Rain" as a fictional novel, and now it's 1934, the beginning of a new golden age of archaeology.

One Daring Do has recently uncovered rumors of a lost crypt in Egypt, and so she ropes a now very rich Grape Vine, a recovering alcoholic and still reeling from the death of his adoptive father Rainbow Blaze, into the adventure, along with his wife Trixie Lulamoon-Vine and Grape's old crewmember from the Moby Dick Spent Thrift along for the ride. Joining them, an older and cynical Twilight Sparkle and her student Ocellus fresh from the halls of Princeton University.

But when an ancient curse is unsealed, and an evil queen from ages long past is revived and intent on reconquering Egypt, it's up to this motley band of heroes to stop her before she unleashes the Twelve Plagues on the lands, all the while dodging attempts to keep the vile Dr. Caballeron and his Gestapo agents from getting to the mummy's treasure first.

Now, I hope to have the first chapter up in early August, and maybe the second soon after that, but I'm not making any promises whatsoever. Got Dreams of Ponies to edit the first chapter, and while I do adore his tips and tricks, suffice it to say his style of writing is very different from mine. Making my chapter better, I do admit, but it's very slow going considering our different styles of writing really. It's co-writing as such, make no mistake but it requires a lot of time and patience as plenty of alterations to the original draft of the first chapter have been made.

Still, hopefully, all will go well and I'll have something to present to y'all shortly.

Will my OC still be in it?

Making no promises, but he'll be mentioned at the very least.

I'm liking that Twilight is going to return for the adventure and I can imagine her butting heads with Daring Do throughout the story and yet also be friends over their mutual dislike of Spent's behavior.

Also, will this be the cover art or will it be different. Either way, I like the look.

*Anugypt. *Pranceton. Unless I'm missing something and this occurs on Earth, which honestly doesn't happen enough.

It's the latter, and I've already come up with a pun for Egypt in Baladi, named after a breed of horse bred there. (Thank you Mush!)

Oh? Interesting. I don't ever see enough Pony on Earth stuff that isn't EQG.

Yeah, not entirely sure if this is the final cover art, already went through one piece already before tossing it after deciding I hated it. It's good, as shown below but not entirely what I'm looking for.

Yeah, figured it only apt Twilight returns for another adventure, and while I'm not sure if she and Daring will butt heads (They could get along famously, for all you know) I can tell you someone, if not Twilight will play shipper on deck for Daring/Spent.
