I'm reworking Tales of the Ghosts, most likely from the ground up.
I've been considering this for a while now, seeing as I believe the old version got too fast paced and too messy to keep up with. A few things will remain the same, but other than that, expect a full rework.
It will include...
Logan arriving in Equestria under a different set of circumstances...
The CMCs are the first to discover him hiding in the Castle of the Royal Sisters...
These changes have been made to the following stories:
Survival is Necessary - Cancelled
Solaire and His Sun - Hiatus
The Ghost - Hiatus
The Diary - Hiatus
The reasons for these changes are simple, and I'll give an explanation for each story.
Survival is Necessary
November means one core thing for me, least as Fimfiction is concerned – Jinglemas is open again for signups! Okay, really, it’s more of a December thing, as you don’t get your characters to write to until November 25th. But it’s in the air, and while the random nature of what you might get to write makes it not for everyone (they do group relevant gens and characters together, though), it remains worth consideration.
Well, that was a pleasant weekend. Picked up one of those “loss of appetite” illnesses during the week, and it peaked on Saturday. Nothing more pleasant than being perpetually hungry all day while only about to chow down small quantities of simple, plain food.
…Well, thanks to the first botch I’ve had from Ryanair in donkey’s years (despite their reputation, they are very reliable for short European flights), one that forced a different plane to be used three hours and twenty-five minutes later, I arrived home just late enough from UK PonyCon to miss Monday Musings going up on Monday. 
Least by British time – it’s still on time for the Americans in the crowd! 
In what is an actual first for this series (just before hitting three digits too!), I am not here to post this week’s blog. However, thanks to the magic of tab synchronisation and Google Docs, Fimfiction’s lack of an upload scheduler altogether and a New Blog button on the mobile layout is no issue. Huzzah for careful planning!
I should have touched on it last week, but Make Your Mark officially ended on November 23rd*. I could have addressed this with my usual “the show ended on exactly the whimper we all expected” sentiment. But instead, I figured, why not celebrate it, for what it’s worth? And after my love of animation, I am a gamer. So, I took the opposite direction, and played some MLP. Scratch that, it wasn’t played, it was streamed.
In Monday Musings’ early days, if I was lacking in a suitable blurb opener, I would often reach for whatever I’d been watching or playing lately. I kind of retired that after a while, mostly because they tended to not be what my regular readers are interested in, and largely only elicited shrugs of the “I don’t care for it” variety. Well, this time, it’s too dear to me to hesitate: on Friday, I saw the musical adaption of my favourite Disney Animation film, Aladdin.
Just for those of you interested in games, I thought I'd point out a new one I found. (It's on both GoG and Steam.) Here's the trailer.

This game is called "Ghost of a Tale", and it's a rpg you play as a adorable little mousy! It's kinda really really Redwall-ish.
No, not broken as in I hit a message cap for the day like so many others seem to ... "Oh noess muh pms is breaked"
The whole damn system, while normally inefficient with its layout when it is working like normal, seems to be running on fumes during its bad days. The past month, messages that have be sent to others as part of a conversation instead come right back to me - from me! Sometimes messages don't even get sent at all, despite no error notification whatsoever.
PREVIEW FOR FOREVER INFERNO CHAPTER ONE
BODY DUMPED AT GINGER ALE’S
Behind the anchorstallion was the live-footage of a crime scene. It was a montage of panic-stricken civilians, nosy reporters, frustrated police detectives, and yellow police tape.
*Screaming* Someone was awesome and made a full reading of one of my stories! All three chapters, full with audio effects in the background to add to the atmosphere! Thanks, Knick Knack!
So check it out!
In I Fancy Him, Flopsy Mopsy gets about the task of preparing for her performance. Unfortunately, one of the lighting FX unicorns is a stallion named Ghost Zapper. She had crushed on him in high school. Hard. Kinda difficult to conduct business when you voice comes out as a squeak... Read chapter three of:
Discord: "Oh, forgive me, all you Pony fanfiction lovers out there. It’s just my chaos magic is also quite sensitive to interdimensional stress, and I can practically hear the flop sweat as Ghost Mike strains to pick a screenshot or gif for these every week.
Fluttershy: "Oh my… See, this is why we don't like to invite Applejack over for cards night. She makes Rainbow Dash's poker face look believable. And that's saying something. That's why we suggested she pitch in with Ghost Mike's Ponyfic reviews this week. Blunt honesty there is the name of the game."
Octavia: "It took the show one hundred episodes to ‘Jump the Shark’, as it were. We’re not in danger of the same only ten blogs in, are we?"
So, after having paused two episodes before the end months ago, I finally finished my glacial rewatch of Season 5 with The Cutie Re-Mark. And that’ll probably be it. I can admit Seasons 6/7 are just weaker continuations, not the dropping off a cliff of the following two, and something that’s still (mostly) watchable. I still don’t intend to do so with an eye towards reforming definitive takes on the episodes the way I have till now. If anything, I need to redo it for Seasons 1-3 more, my
In lieu of much else to note this week*, I will content myself with the observation that I’m coming up on my 5th anniversary of my induction to MLP, which occurred with the G4 film on October 31st. Not the same as my fandom introduction, which didn’t come until January of the following year, after I’d binged the series, but it’s something.
I don’t really talk about my personal life here, except in the abstract, and that’ll be the same today. But an intro that didn’t mention the below would feel really fake to me right now, like I was trying to tell myself it didn’t matter.
