    Awaken

    It's been a while, but - while I'm not likely to write anything new, sorry! - I'm at a place now where I feel comfortable logging back in and reading (and sometimes commenting!) again. I know this didn't really merit an announcement, but I've seen a few DMs and comments since the last time I was here, and I just wanted to reassure people that if you want to message me or leave comments, they will

    I won't be deleting the account, because it's been pointed out to me before that some people somehow found something they liked in my stories and it's not really fair of me to take it away, but I'm done with Fimfiction. Thanks for having me. Bye.

    In which I apologise for being a year behind schedule and note a remarkable coincidence

    So, the five of you who are still following me will note it's been a while since I published a story, and even longer since I teased my big upcoming project - nearly a year since that blog, in fact! I'm so sorry.

Nailah pointed me towards this contest and I immediately thought about, well, this. Then I thought of the title and decided I had to do it.

(Disclaimer: I do not, in fact, believe Cadance is a terrible mom, but I liked this idea too much not to write it.)

Also I probably spent longer trying to find screenshots of the exact three facial expressions I wanted for the cover than I did writing the actual story. I'm selling this well, aren't I? Hey, it got me back in the featured box again, because of course it did - only the fourth time that's ever happened to me in over two years, so, um, there's that. Anyway, enjoy! I had fun.

Heh, well, I'm glad you had fun, and congratulations on being in the feature box again. :)

Thanks! Of course when it happens it's not for something like Away or Dragon Lord Ember Skips Work or You Betcha! but rather this, but I'm not complaining! :twilightsmile:

Glad you're still able to enjoy it even if it's not for one of the stories you'd more prefer it to be. :)

Oh, absolutely! I'm still always jazzed (and more than a little flattered) whenever anypony chooses to use their time to read and upboop any of my stories!

Good. :)

Nice. :D
