  • TStarlight Over Detrot: A Noir Tale
    In the decaying metropolis of Detrot, 60 years and one war after Luna's return, Detective Hard Boiled and friends must solve the mystery behind a unicorn's death in a film noir-inspired tale of ponies, hard cider, conspiracy, and murder.

    A print run of Starlight Over Detrot?

    So, the Ministry Of Image printing house has a new survey up! Can you guess who is on it?

    https://forms.gle/p7Lnap4AcZnjgZpn9

    I am absurdly excited. I doubt we'll get printed, but it would be amazing if we did! I would love to hold a copy of Starlight Over Detrot in my hands one day.

    So, what's next?

    Starlight Over Detrot is done and now I'm intent on writing something else. I've got the outline for a romance novel. A non-pony romance novel, mind. That being said, I wanna write a few more pony things while I do that. I've got a heap of ideas for an 'Epilogue Part Four' for Starlight which happens a few years after the events of Epilogue Part Three and just sorta ties everything off.

    I'M NOT DEAD!

    Okay, so the final main-story chapter of Starlight Over Detrot is *now* in the editorial pipe-line. It's headed to the people who do the good stuff.

    The editors, being the geniuses they are, will likely have it finished VERY soon and I'll pump it out to everybody. Is this the end of Starlight Over Detrot?

    ONE MORE CHAPTER!

    Dear lord, shoot me in the face.

    All the years I've been writing this and I say to myself "Yeah, gonna finish it tonight!" then the characters get to talking. Talking. Just back and forth. GRAH!

Translations for CALEAHP and Equestria Opposition Party · 9:18pm Oct 8th, 2020

A truly excellent person by the name of Spaniard-Kiwi has managed to translate both stories for us. I don't speak Spanish, but if anyone does and would like to send them feed-back, the links to the translations are in the descriptions of those stories.

As to Starlight...yes, I am still working on it. I've got around 5k written. Not as much as I hoped for, but more than I think I expected considering the events of the last month.

Not a worry, and kudos to someone offering and doing that.

But when its done, it is done.

I hope you have a good day.

but more than I think I expected considering the events of the last month.

Yeah...

How are you holding out, considering? :fluttershysad:

Ah, congratulations! :)

And I hope that the writing going better than expected is accompanied by things in general going not too badly for you.

I'm alright. Having those nightmares sometimes where I actually talk to my dad and he's sad he's dying, then wake up and realize he's already dead. Those hurt.

Keeping myself busy with woodworking projects, talking to friends, little events for the Starlight Over Detrot chatroom (we played Among Us the other night), and generally trying to take care of my partners.

It doesn't change how much I miss my dad. We spent years preparing for his death. We knew the heart condition would do it and it would be sudden. Nobody really knew how sudden.

I went to visit him earlier this year and just before that visit he'd actually wanted to re-schedule the visit to late-October because he was sick. I somewhat over-ruled that and now I'm glad I did. He got to meet my partners, see me, and he was in good enough condition to appreciate all of us.

He died surrounded by friends, in his sleep, having gotten to talk to me one last time before the end.

Starlight continues. I want it done before November. The election scares the pants off me and I can't think of anything less fulfilling than not having given you guys a good ending in the event America goes nuts.

Thank you for your understanding.
