General Update - September/October 2019 · 2:44am Oct 9th, 2019
Sup fuggers
We'll go through the usual routine of where I am with some stories and other updates for the future. Let's jump right into it:
My Best Friend, Stella.
So what was supposed to be Part 24 is already turning out to be a goddamn monster of a chapter. In essence, there's supposed to be three 'sections' that make up this chapter (i.e. three different areas of interest). I'm about a couple hundred words from being finished with the first section and I'm already pushing 6,500 words... which means that this chapter altogether would be pushing close to 20,000 words total... So for everyone's sake (including mine), I'm going to split what would be part 24 into three parts: Part 24, 25, and 26. This actually works out in my favor because this can allow me to focus on some real character and dynamic-building in preparation for the final descent to the end of the story. You're happy. I'm happy. Everyone's happy. SO. Prep for the REAL part 24 to release imminently (giggity) depending on how much editing needs to be done.
Regenfall.
With two chapters already released, the third will be on the horizon presently. I'm still on target for this to be about a 6-ish part story much like Tending Flowers (without the whole peen in vagoo, of course). Expected course thus far.
Metroid: Ghosts of Harmony.
Huh... didn't I say this was coming 'very soon' back in like... July? FFS Flamm... get your shit together. In all seriousness though, this is absolutely still on the table and a lot of work has been done on it. Inspiration has carried me elsewhere though (namely other stories), and I'm not one to squander the massive amount of inspiration when I've had a dearth of it this past year and a half. More information to follow soon. The stars are aligning--I just ask for your continued patience lel.
Looking Forward to 2020.
So, we all know in the next few weeks or so, the show's gonna end. Yeah, kinda sucks but to be honest I don't think I've watched a FULL season (i.e. I've watched the beginning, skipped episodes, caught another one, then caught the end [maybe]) since like, Season 5. So while it sucks that what brought us all together is coming to an end, I'm not too worried. I already know what happens because I'm a faggot and couldn't stay away from spoilers (no spoilers if you know please. I'll just say it's nice. Not surprising, but really nice). Apparently, a lot of you feel the same way as evidenced by an earlier blog of mine asking such a question. I don't think the show ending is going to cause an exodus from the site. Quite the contrary I'm legit really stoked as to the sheer amount of material that's going to be handed to us to work with.
Like... I literally can't wait to see what y'all (myself included) can come up with.
That also being said, I personally am making 2020 the year of Conventions. I'll be going with all or at least some of the Barcast to BABS, EFNW, and Trot. If y'all will be at any of those, I really hope to see you there! Flag me down, say hi, and make sure you call me a faggot
At any rate, that's all I got for now. Let me know down below if there's something I haven't touched on or if you just wanna shitpost.
Cheers!

It does suck that the show is ending, but we know it wouldn't suffer the fate of some other long running shows, and who knows, we could very well still see reruns.
As for people leaving the fandom, that's their choice. I know for a fact I wouldn't be leaving any time soon. And I'll be honest, I did kind of stop watching the show after season 8. I do keep up to date through and watch a few new episodes. But now I'm more for the fan created content, like your story The Flower Mare (Utterly love Schneeblume by the way) for example.
You ever gonna finish that Maud story?

Probably... at some point... eventually
I heavily doubt this site’s gonna die just because the show is ending because people aren’t necessarily following the show for their stories all the time. They have their own ideas they wanna implement.
Bruh I haven't even watched it since like season 4 / 5 and I'm still here
Never been a big fan of mlp but I'll read fanfics of it mostly out of boredom and some have been good
