    Some Whisper and Starlight arts.

    I entirely forgot to post these up, but Alienz_Tea over on Reddit made some beautiful pictures of Whisper and Starlight that I wanted to share!

    First up is Starlight, looking all perky and ready to go! And of course she has to have her Lancer, which Alienz_Tea gave a unique and very detailed take of!

    Non-pony writing and titles

    So I haven't done any new pony-words in a while, but I've still been writing. In fact, I've got a story that I'm hoping to get professionally published. Probably still a while away, even if things were to go miraculously smoothly, but it's a possibility that I'm really psyched about. There's just one problem:

    I'm not sure what to title it.

    The Chrysalis translation (Spanish)

    So there's another translation of The Chrysalis in the works! Bloo-D00 has started the impressive task of translating the story to Spanish on their DeviantArt account ( https://www.deviantart.com/bloo-d00/gallery/all ). They've already got the first 18 chapters out, which is some impressive work!

    The Chrysalis translation (Russian)

    The Fallout: Equestria fandom seems to have a sizable Russian-speaking population, so MrBrightsideTF2 has started the impressive task of translating my story into the Russian language! I've got to admit, I'm rather flattered that someone would go through that sort of effort for my story!

    No more books.

    Well, it was a good run. Lulu just sent out a message stating that they will not allow fanfiction, in any form, to be sold through their site, even privately, and that they're shutting down my account there. As of now, every book is offline.

Print project: Fragments · 12:43am Jun 19th, 2019

I couldn't stop at doing just Without a Hive.

When I started writing Fragments, I never expected it to be the start of me writing almost a million words of pony fanfiction. I've had so much fun doing this over the years, and I've learned so much along the way. Re-reading Fragments, it's easy for me to see all the little places that I've improved. I still love the story, as intentionally cliched as it is, even though it's the weakest at the technical aspects of grammar and such. If I were to write it again, I'd absolutely clean some things up, but... I still like it. Just as with Without a Hive, I did little tweaks to ensure it's at least consistent, and it's probably mostly stuff that most people won't even notice. I'm talking stuff like consistent em-dash usage, a few comma splices, that sort of thing.

And it's kind of funny just how much thinner this book is than Without a Hive:

And of course, my mediocre photography skills really does not do viwrastupr's art any justice. This one is fantastic!

After getting Without a Hive printed up, I couldn't resist doing it with the others in the series. Fragments won't be making it to BronyCon for the big bookstore project, but I'm going to make both of them (And A New Way!) available online after the con! We're most of the way there!

And seriously, it's just so cool to see these books printed out in physical form. A little silly, maybe, but still so satisfying. :twilightsmile:

Yeah, available for purchase online. I'm not entirely certain exactly how I'm going to handle it just yet (There are a few options available), but that's something I'll have worked out by the time I make them available. :twilightsmile:
