The latest post (today 8/26 at 4:19 PM PDT), is the first part of a new chapter arc. You aren't expecting this. Again, and again. That's why you are getting three chapters not one! Prepare to be shocked and to feel those feels! The mystery will deepen for many of you, or it will turn into a thriller. Depends on what you're paying attention to. It is now definitely a romance novel. If you enjoy

Two princesses. Two thrones. Two ponies. What could go wrong?

Oh, right! This chapter is illustrated.

I've posted part 4 of Public Nightmares. Whilst the conflict between some very familiar characters is ramping up, the name of a very interesting as yet to be introduced character we be dropped. It isn't spoilery, so feel free to name drop in the comments. What do you think this portends? (Besides a side story...)

Not from writing, silly!

Retired from the day job. Last Friday. Can this be construed as meaning more writing and more chapters?

Yes! Expect me to post a lot more often. BTW, I posted chapter 29, today. Check it out.

Spike gets taken along because Twilight can't be in two places, yet. Starlight learns why the little guy is so useful. Mysteries also deepen despite everypony trying to solve what happened to Firefall.

Ch43 dropped. Starlight is figuring things out, but will she understand before it's too late? At least Sunburst and her will have a good night... or will they?

Ch 44 is the start of the End is Neigh (pony for nigh) arc of chapters. Starlight ought understand what's happening. She's had plenty of clues. Does she? How can she fight what she doesn't understand? As a reader, remember you have the history presented in the series so don't be too hard on our favorite reformed evil mare.

By Dawn's Early Light Part I of two is published. Read it now! The time is approximately three years prior to The Canterlot Wedding. A somewhat more innocent Cadance is learning about love, but wants to clobber Starlight Glimmer because she hurt Shining Armor. Yes, she's protective of her coltfriend, but when Starlight mentions the Do-Nothing Prince, she reacts jealously.

Meltdown Part 1 of two (ch18) has been published! Sunset Shimmer rescues Starlight from the full onslaught of school peer pressure, whisking her off to the little fillies room, of course, to give Starlight a good talking to. Because Sunset is going from MacGuffin to full-out major secondary character, I am switching out the Celestia tag for the Sunset Shimmer tag. I want to notify the

Meltdown Part 2 of three (ch19) has been published! Starlight is way too fragile today, it seems. Then she learns something shocking about Firefall. Twilight shows up, and while she demonstrates they have a lot in common, well... she is Twilight Sparkle, right?

This chapter introduces a new character. You may have figured out that the novel is firmly in alternate universe territory. Starlight never becomes a princess in canon, nor is Twilight named crown princess, thought clearly she was one. There's a pony who went on to become

Great chapter title, right? Read chapter 38 to find out why. You know you're going to...

Starlight doesn't realize her life is becoming more complex as she learns of a strange connection to one of her new companions.

I am aiming to release part III of this chapter Friday...

I've finished the titles, and added sparkles because, well that's the trope for novels of this type. The cover art is by @SyrupyyyArt. To see the cover art, click the Read More button. It's just a matter of the proofreading of my rewrite of chapters 1 and 2 to complete before publication begins.

As Rarity would say, GAH! I posted the contents of chapter 49 instead of 47 at about 7:51 PM PDT. A big sorry! I discovered and posted the correct chapter 47 around 9:25 PM PDT. Do return and read the corrected chapter. If you were so unfortunate that, in your excitement to finally see a belated update (sorry about that, too), and found you had no context for what

Three (3) filly friends sounds kind of ominous for Starlight's love life when you realize the title refers to Blueblood. Starlight gets Blueblood to open up about his tragic past and begins to understand him very well. There are uncanny similarities shared between them...
