    Exam Over, Back to Writing

    Just finished a pretty major exam yesterday (7.5 hours long) and I finally got some time to get back into writing. Though that might taper down severely depending on how I did on the test, won't know until like 3-4 weeks later :O

    Either way, I should get a new chapter of Equestrian Elegy done sometime this month.

    Cadance and Celestia, who would give hugs the fastest?

    Uh, hypothetically speaking if both Cadance and Celestia were to hear a pretty depressing story out of earshot, but didn't want to startle a rather powerful pony into attacking, who would lose their cool the quickest to deliver an emergency hug/snuggle/nuzzle?

    Not so surprisingly, wise old mentor dialogue is tough.

    Writing Dumbledore is tough, especially since he always manages to find just the right words to soothe Harry when he needs it most.

    Having Celestia on top of that, talk and reason with Harry is becoming kind of an issue. I'm leaning towards Celly not being able to see Dumbles, just so he can snark in the background for the comic factor.

    New chapter may come out sooner than expected.

    10k words so far, so it'll be a longer chapter and I think I'm almost done writing it.

    I say 'think' because I'm mulling on whether or not to add a scene in or just save it for a future Perspective and tell this part from Harry's POV.

    But there may be a release this weekend, sooooo, we'll see.

    Nerfing Discord and New Fantasy Races

    After a lot of hemming and hawing, I decided to lower Discord's abilities a bit, so he's not as overwhelming as he is in canon. He'll still be #1, but he won't be as OP anymore, mainly because I don't want to deal with the hassle of working around an omnipotent character. He comes up in a flashback in the next chapter and I figured I might as well decided what to do with him now rather than

Nerfing Discord and New Fantasy Races · 7:17pm Apr 24th, 2019

After a lot of hemming and hawing, I decided to lower Discord's abilities a bit, so he's not as overwhelming as he is in canon. He'll still be #1, but he won't be as OP anymore, mainly because I don't want to deal with the hassle of working around an omnipotent character. He comes up in a flashback in the next chapter and I figured I might as well decided what to do with him now rather than later.

Unrelated to the next chapter are the different races in MLP and two new ones that I wanted to introduce later on in the story. I'm having some issues with naming conventions for the different genders of each species. Like with ponies you have stallions and mares and with deer you have bucks and doe.

But what about:
1. Minotaurs
2. Lamias (snake-people), egg-laying species
3. Arachne (spider-people), egg-laying species

Very open to suggestions as I'm kind of drawing a blank on specific gender terminology
