    I'm (still) not quite dead...

    I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that

    When you're writing a chapter...

    And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

    The Good News and the Bad News

    The good news is that I got a root canal on Monday. No more pain in teeth. Yay!

    The bad news is that I was 3/4ths of the way through the next chapter of Midnight Castle (~5000 words) and realized that I was writing it totally wrong. I need to go back to practically the start and change up a lot, though I'm salvaging lines and paragraphs wherever I can.

"Daleks Have a Concept of Getting Back To Work!" · 11:20pm Apr 22nd, 2019

Soldier attempted to stand, and succeeded after a rel, though she felt the mass of food shifting in her stomach as her barrel went from being basically vertical to evenly horizontal - an altogether unpleasant experience that required her to take several rels to wait for the shifting to stop. Even as it did a thought occurred to her. “The food I consumed would have contained many compounds that this body would not be able to digest,” she observed. It was one of the problems that the creator, Davros had seen fit to do away with when creating the Daleks; the Mark-III travel machines provided only useful nutrients and matter.

Twilight nodded. “Yup. The digestion system is pretty efficient, but it can’t get everything.”

“Then there is a mechanism by which the excess matter is expelled?”

Twilight Sparkle, quite suddenly, went stock still, her eyes going wide. Very slowly, her eyes drifted to look at Soldier. “You…you said you’ve never eaten before.”

“Correct.”

The corners of Twilight’s mouth turned up, but somehow the expression did not, to Soldier, seemed to match what she understood a smile to look like. “Oh no…ohhhhh no, that means that you’ve…you’ve never…”

“I have never expelled excess food matter from my body.”

I'm workin' on it. In fact I am determined to actually finish this story this year. Which, "this year" seems like a long time, but given how long it's been since the last update...but anyway, it's coming. Soon.

aaaaaaaaaaah yes! I love this fic! Glad to see it come back to life :D

Okay, just have Pinkie Pie help Soldier with that. She's had more than enough experience with the Cake twins.

You can do this! I was in the same boat for ages, constantly wanting to get my story finished but always getting distracted but it's so satisfying when you get it done. Plus, I've always loved this story :pinkiehappy: I even wrote some fanfiction about Soldier back in the day when this was first posted, even if I never did publish it.

Either way you'll always have at least one reader here (plus a few more if the comments are anything to go by) waiting for the next update :twilightsmile:

Woop Woop. You go bro!
