We return to the side stories for the penultimate time before fully catching up. The theme for the recent ones appears to be non-ponies (and Sandbar.) After this is the first EqG comic since Anon-a-Miss and an upcoming crossover with Transformers. But for now, we look at the Student Six.
Greetings MetaVerse Fans!
We have expanded our staff to include a new artist to help take the weight off Moon's shoulders a bit. We would like to welcome Princess Butter!
I ran into Butters a ways back when I was still doing Equestrian City alone and was thrilled when I offered her the chance to join our merry band of writers and artists!
Her audition piece is below:

Heads up: Next week marks the premiere of Pony Life on Discovery Family… possibly. I’m getting contradictory signals from the TV listings.
Yes, we’re actually doing this. I know I said one week’s content wasn’t enough, but then I actually gave it a shot. Strap in, folks; this one’s gonna get weird.
Ah, Gilda. Love her or hate her, she was the only griffin* on the show until "MMMMystery on the Friendship Express," the one point from which we had to extrapolate an entire species's culture. She didn't exactly make the best first impression. Of course, if you were surrounded by delicious, delicious creatures who society said you couldn't eat, you'd probably be on edge too.
We finally return to my series of critiques about the ISII entrants. We continue down my list of “finalists”: stories which I considered awarding points to. I would like to stress, however, that I only ranked them because FanOfMostEverything made me; they are all excellent.
I've suspected for a while that I would not be able to critique every story in the contest. At least not in long form. I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we get there.
The way my outline for What Lies Within has been going there won't be another major Duel for a while. Also the chapters keep being really long for my standards; aside from "In the Dark" but that's more of a tension-builder than anything else. Did it work as one of those? I sure hope so. I did my best. Next up as of now is... some more talking; while I work my way up to the rest of the plot stuff I have planned.
Funny story: This past Wednesday, exactly ten days before the finale, my driving-to-work music drive played Europe’s The Final Countdown.
I am not emotionally prepared to say goodbye to Equestria, and this episode did not help.
