Middle of next week. The next chapter of Mystery on the Arcane Train will be done by the middle of next week.
Because I'm offering Pony Life style commissions for $6 (2 Ko-fis) a piece. OCs and canon characters welcome, and I'll even do creatures like Kirin and Griffons. The Art Style is actually very fun to draw!
And of course, my usual commissions are still available, and can be found on my page.
I've never tried stand-up comedy.
If I create one, will anyone be willing to help contribute?
Just a quick blogpost to announce the contest HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED.

One very well might think that a story that has not been updated in almost seven years written by an author who has not been seen in several years would be dead.
I thought it was dead, and I'm the author.
I think I was wrong.
I didn't know. I didn't know it was a Discord/Screwball EqG thing. I didn't know it was a cavalcade of copyrighted lyrics stripped of context and soul, that they built the entire fic around. I didn't know there were going to be creepy stalker undertones between a teacher and his student that were laced into a bullshit revenge plot. I had no idea it was shitting on the legacy of an unrelated,
Ever have trouble finding pseudoephedrine because of pesky government restrictions on buying America's favorite nasal decongestant due to stupid meth-heads trying to synthesize meth from it?
