Hey guys! Just here proving I'm still alive... for this chapter I'm gonna be taking a break from all the crazy depressing serious stuff and move onto something more silly for the next few chapters... Remember Power Ponies?

Preview after the break

"Hmmm… let's see…" I said to myself looking over a book while decorating. "Gotta make sure I do it right this time." I said before laying out a bunch of pillows around, as well as blankets.

There’s only so much that can go into a story, especially one with as many characters as 16 has. So I’m opening the floor to asking these characters questions. Post your reply with any questions you have and Diamond Rose will be happy to answer them (I’ll be editing this blog to add those questions). I’ll be posting the other characters in the coming weeks (up through Snowcatcher; the rest will come after their chapters are posted).

Like many authors, I tend to be drowning in ideas. Notes, snippets, story outlines. Far too many to do anything with, or that I feel I can do justice. Thankfully there's excellent people like Silver Notes out there who can take these bare bones (in this case "What if Wallflower found the Pony of Shadows instead of the Memory Stone") and put flesh on them in

Well, I think it had been leading up to this all season to be honest, but I want to start with something from this episode that was blindsided by the climax.

A Diamond and a Tether has been on my to-read list for a long time now, and I finally got around to reading it and wondered why I hadn’t done so before.

So many things are so easy to do in retrospect, and yet, we let months elapse before we do them.

In totally unrelated news, I’ve been working on editing Mistletrapped, sprucing up the last couple chapters before I ship them off to my editors.

The giant emerald turned out fantastic (but now that I look at it, it's a little asymmetrical). Still, I really messed up trying to create Spot's color (I didn't have a color pencil exactly like his fur) and Rover turned out alright, except he has a bit of a round head (and his teeth!? My god I messed that up).

I'm entering the Season 9 Bingo contest. This is a curious fic-writing contest where everyone gets a different prompt consisting of five disparate elements which are deliberately quite hard to fit into the same fic. I had been looking for a contest to enter and this looked like an interesting one (with a relatively gentle deadline – the airdate of the first episode of Season 9). Sure enough, it's been fun.

Howdy, hi!

So I'm going to do a post mortem on Chained to the Plow as I do for my bigger stories, but for now...

I'm kind of thinking of a sequel for this story.

So, I don't like writing the Cutie Mark Crusaders... normally, but Apple Bloom kind of took my heart in this story.

So! Sequel thought because I want to write more about her.

Same as before and here's five more!

I just started writing I'm about 200 words in and so far it's just a lil scene of Apple Bloom getting off to the idea of Diamond Tiara. I'm unsure what to write now I need ideas for where I should take the story and just overall interesting plot ideas.

I'll cut my usual preamble and get to the blogs point. Three Steps Back is going on a semi-indefinite hiatus. This may be dissapointing to you, especially considering this is the second fic I've put on hiatus recently, but both have good reasons and they're interlinked.
