    Realize I haven't breathed a word about this, and that I'm generally silent on the blog side of Fimfiction as it is, but I'm attending Everfree Northwest this year!

    Glimpses 2 - Now Complete

    Though it was a day late, hopefully, it's not a dollar short. I've posted the final chapter of Glimpses 2! I hope everyone enjoys the last chapter and enjoyed the story as I whole. I would also like to thank everyone that submitted suggestions to my blog about a month ago. The anthology would not have been nearly as interesting without your input!

    Last Chapter of "Glimpses 2" slightly delayed

    Just what it says on the tin. Need 1 more day for the "Core" chapter of Glimpses 2. Should be up tomorrow. After that, the story will be complete!

Past Sins 10th Anniversary · 1:51am Sep 1st, 2021

Okay, technically it was a few days ago on Saturday, but... work has been crazy. (Umbrella Alpha Release on Skullgirls just happened to be today as well.)

Anyway, the first chapter of Glimpses 2 has been published! I want to thank everyone for all the requests you made on the blog post about a month ago. I hope that those were selected enjoy the variants based on their requests, and I hope everyone can still enjoy the anthology as a whole. I'm spreading out the posts a little, mostly to give myself a little more time to edit. (Again, work crazy.) Still, within the week you'll have the completed story.

I know for the 5th anniversary I did a whole big thing in the first chapter of Glimpses thanking everyone that I could, and a lot of that still holds true. I do want to give a special shout-out to SpokenMind93, who in the five years has continued to make the Past Sins comic and is starting to near the end. If you enjoy Past Sins, you should really head over to DeviantArt and give her some love. I was very happy I was able to commission her to make the cover art for Glimpses 2!

But really, Nyx's continued presence in the community, as small as it is at times, is something I do greatly treasure. I don't think I could have ever imagined that a story I wrote 10 years ago for My Little Pony would still be something folks remember so fondly and is still something readers, new and old, enjoy to this day.

So thank you again, really. I can't say it enough. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

And one more, THANK YOU!

Aw, no worries, buddy! As we all know: people don't easily forget masterpieces :ajsmug::twilightsmile::heart:

I personally have no fucking idea how to post a saved photo but I do have an original print of your story. If anyone actually knows how to do that, that post in these comments hit me up so I can actually prove the fact.

I have both Past Sins and the Anthology in print! I LOVE THEM!

Dude, I don’t think Nyx is ever going to not have some spotlight somewhere, even if it’s just for a few people. :twilightsmile:
I’ve been following Spoken also, and I’m stoked you had her take part in this story in some way. Now that she’s started that last chapter I’ve been tempted to go back and reread PS myself, I just have some other bingeing to do first.

I named my phone Nyx and set cute wallpaper.

I am never going to forget Nyx anytime soon. And I have Past Sins in print, and I couldn't be happier to have it in my book collection! I hope to see you again in person one day.

It's funny that my mlp story begin with "Anthology" and become entrenched with "Past sins"

Out of all the tales I've read, Past Sins is by far one of the greatest. Nyx is a character that you gave life, and that little Alicorn has truly taken a life of her own.
Congratulations on the tenth birthday of an unforgettable little pony, and a cult classic!

Adorable filly is adorable.

I had a physical copy I think I loaned it to a family member and I don't know if she tried to mail it back or if she still has it, hopefully the latter. Will look forward to reading the newest story in the Nyx anthology.

I feel old, do any of you feel old?

Past Sins was the first lengthy fanfic I ever read, and it was the first physical print I ever bought. It will always have a special place in my memory and on my bookshelf.

Happy Tenth! Nyx shall live on!

The comic is AMAZING

This reminds me I should read your series again.

Has it been Century already?

Huzzah! \o/

Happy Birthday Nyxie

You got a source artist for that awesome piece(s) of work? I'd love to get a look at more.

Much like how manga helped me get into reading, Past Sin helped me give novels a try. It will always have a special place in my heart, being both the first novel I ever read and my first fanfic. All I can say is thank you for this BRILLIANT story and happy birthday Nyx :twilightsmile: .

On a side note, where can I order a physical copy, I’ve always want a copy but never got round to ordering one :twilightsheepish:

Edit: I just realised I spelt “physical“ wrong :facehoof:

Past Sins, still remains my favorite

Thank YOU.
Past Sins is the reason why I felt writing and reading fan fiction could actually be worth while and I wouldn't have written my own stories without it.

You put it up on an image hosting site and then use either the Insert Link or Insert Embed button... but if you use imgur, link to it. They don't like people embedding their images.

cute

"Past Sins" is one of the best stories I've ever read in Fimfiction.

Past Sins will forever be one of my absolute favorite fanfictions. Thank you for writing it.

Jesus, has it really been 10 years? damn, this story has gotten me through some times as it has been one thing I can consistantly go back to, and enjoy reading because of the story, and not the action

it is truly a Great story

Dang! That was 10 years ago already? Man, I remember reading it chapter by chapter as it first released through the EqD posts.

Whew, I'm getting old.

Thank YOU for the wonderful story! To this day, it's still one of the absolute best of the fandom.
