    Apologies for the long wait

    I apologize for the long delay for the most recent chapter. I was having real trouble with anxiety and depression, and it was hard for me to find motivation to keep working. I'm learning to make writing fun for me again, rather than feeling like work. I might have needed the rest anyway to gain more inspiration.

    Spoilers -- Character Development for the Knights of Order (and Twilight's reaction to their insults)

    During their stay in Tartarus, I attempt to extrapolate the personality of each of the Knights of Order, trying to uncover what barriers might be in the way of them considering the love of friendship. King Danu comes across as the most angry, rebellious, and self-destructive. Indeed, his foolishness and hypocrisy feel like pre-reformed Chancellor Neighsay on crack.

    Developing some chapters out of order

    Until recently, I was publishing my story completely linearly. Now sometimes I might add a chapter between two chapters I've already published. However, the central elements of the main plot -- they will still be published in chronological order. Side plots, on the other hand -- they may not be published completely in order (but they will be properly numbered and

    One chapter is out of sequence ("Spike's Friendship Triangle")

    "Spike's Friendship Triangle" is currently listed as #15. I think I want to add at least two chapters between "Meeting the Students" and "Spike's Friendship Triangle". Therefore, the next two chapters I post will probably come before "Spike's Friendship Triangle", bumping it to #17.

    Preview of next chapter in "Camp Harmony" -- "Honesty & Laughter"

    I'm in the middle of writing the latest chapter of my story. Here is what I have so far:


    In another big lecture hall, 100 students sat in the benches surrounding the teaching area. Again, ten of them were Royal Guards. Flim and Flam sat in the back, between a dragon and a gryphon.

    "So, brother," said Flim, "I hope this honesty stuff isn't as hard as it looks."

Preview of next chapter in "Camp Harmony" -- "Honesty & Laughter" · 10:31pm Apr 30th, 2022

I'm in the middle of writing the latest chapter of my story. Here is what I have so far:


In another big lecture hall, 100 students sat in the benches surrounding the teaching area. Again, ten of them were Royal Guards. Flim and Flam sat in the back, between a dragon and a gryphon.

"So, brother," said Flim, "I hope this honesty stuff isn't as hard as it looks."

"I hope so, too," replied Flam. "After we tried to scam students with our friendship university, we started cheating each other. We had never done much of that before."

Ocellus's baby sister ("Shelly") was flying around, feeling warm with love.

"Of all ponies," added Flim, "I thought I could trust you. But I cheated you first. I hate feeling there's not one single creature I can count on."

"Same with me," responded Flam.

"I feel lonely without you."

"So do I!"

Flim gave his brother a hug. Flam hugged him back.

Just then, Shelly entered the scene, hovering over the two brothers. She seemed to be attracted by the brotherly love. Shelly landed on Flam's lap and gave him a hug.

With an awkward smile, Flam said, "Hello there ... little bugpony."

Shelly fluttered onto Flim's lap and hugged him, too.

Flim also smiled awkwardly, laughing nervously.

Just then, there was a loud smashing sound. Half the class yelped, including Flim and Flam.

Yona had just smashed through the door. Lying on the floor, the door was now broken into pieces, with Yona standing on top of it. The doorframe was also in pieces.

"Good morning, friends!" shouted Yona, with a great big smile. "Today, Yona teach you to be honest. And tell the truth!"

Rumble flew in right behind Yona, with Yapper (the little dog boy) following alongside. Both of them were laughing, though Rumble was kind of cringing.

"Yona best teacher!" called the six yaks.

"Yaks best at honesty!" called one (named "Chuckie Khan"). "But Yona bestest!"

Yona blushed, not being accustomed to being on a pedestal like this.

Rumble now hovered in front of Yona. "Professor Yona," he asked, "why did you smash through the door?"

"Door locked. And Yona lost key. And Yona not be late for class!"

"Nice way to make an entrance! But I don't think Professor Applejack will be happy about this."

"No problem!" declared Yona. "Yona tell Professor Jack what happened! Yona honest! Open and honest!"

Yapper barked with excitement, jumping in front of Yona. "I wish I could smash doors like Yona!"

"Yapper smash lots of stuff today!" declared Yona. "Whole class learn to smash! Like yaks!"

The yaks cheered, jumping on their seats -- smashing the seats in the process.

"Pony classroom perfect for yaks to smash!" shouted one of the yaks (named "Amarjargal", or "Amar" for short).

One of the pony students laughed ("Gifted Schoolpony" from "A Royal Problem", light yellow unicorn filly with reddish brown hair and violet eyes; whom we'll call "Angelica"). "What isn't perfect for yaks to smash?"

A unicorn colt next to her (also from "A Royal Problem", light bluish green with cyan-blue hair and pinkish ruby-colored eyes; whom we'll call "Hornigan") whispered to her, "Please, Angelica! Don't give them any ideas!"
