Expect it, friends.

I'm hoping to get back into the swing of things and continue to update Dying Embers shortly.

The reason for the lack of updates is due to myself having to work lots of overtime. This is because my car decided that it would be a good time to die on me. I've been forced to work overtime in order to get a little extra money in order to get a new car and prepare for the move to a new home.

Ember and Tempest kept hearing explosions as they rushed to the center of town. Again and again the sound fills their ears. Ponies all around them were panicking worrying about their own lives. Tempest was looking a bit more confident now, no longer appearing like a scared filly. This would make things easier since Ember was the only one who fought that harpy.

Just saw this weeks episode. I quite enjoyed took to a second watch to actually see what was bad or good about the episode, but I couldn't help but notice Embers' slight mistake she made in the episode, and I'm not talking about the mild racist stereotypes of not being able to tell a different species apart. She upset the muffin queen. https://derpibooru.org/1514882?q=spoiler%3As07e15. Now I couldn't help but think about what was happening just on the other side of Ponyville while the main

Okay, okay, so this isn't Halloween related, but that's okay isn't it? Yeah, I'm going to assume it is.

Project Skystar Horror, as Deep Six is increasingly becoming known to my frazzled brain, is still ticking over. Ran into a couple of plot issues but nothing a bit of thinking time won't sort out.

I'm too tired to write good fiction or solve complex puzzles right now (Void Stranger is an amazing game btw, highly recommended for anyone who likes mindbenders), so I figured I'd give everybody an update on how the story was coming along. I'm almost halfway done with drafts for all the chapters. Chapter Four would have turned our very badly if not for zombi and Celeste's input, and has already undergone extensive rewrites, but the

Just letting everybody know, it's going to be a bit longer before Chapter Three drops. In addition to refining our editing process to be more collaborative (I was letting my mindset from my game development work bleed into here, when my priorities with Rising Flames are very different), Spell Check and applezombi pointed out a bunch of issues with my outline that I've been diligently working with them to fix. So we haven't fully combed over my draft of Chapter Three yet.

I SHIPP IT!!!!!!
I SHIPP IT SO HARD!!!!!
I SHIPP IT LIKE FEDEX UPS AND AMAZON.

I'm really struggling to put into words how bloody excited I am about getting this story out to the world. It's been such a long time since I last wrote something I connected with at a fundamental emotional level like this, and I've genuinely not been able to stop coming back and tinkering with the current draft, even though I've had far more important things to do with my time this weekend. Whether that translates into a quality read you'll have to judge for yourself—it might well be awful!

Loving what this latest episode did to establish some more stories with Dragons. Now that Spike has an in with the Dragon Lord, He'll be able to get involved with more dragon things in the future and explore that side of his character. Plus my shipping senses were going off the CHARTS when I had saw Spike and Ember together.

They need ship fics and fan art pronto!

*Pharynx, Ember, Novo, and Gilda are talking together in a room of the Hive*

*Bursts in* "Guys, Apex is missing!"

"...And?"

*Everyone turns to look at her*

"What? Dragon kids run off all the time! Parents only start to worry if they're gone for more than a day!"

"Ember, come on! Apex!" *runs off*

"...Ember, your entire species make terrible parents."

Throughout Dying Embers I have included a number of songs at various points in the story.
A number of readers have requested a list of the songs which I've used.

This list will be updated on a regular basis providing the names of artists of the songs used.
(They will be listed in chronological order from when they were added to the story.)

Another episode, another review. This time we get to see Spike doing something that actually has implications for the whole of Equestria. I've never really cared about the Spike episodes very much. I don't hate them but I'm not a huge fan of them either. They always seem to have the same message: "You should think of others and how to do kind things without expecting something in return." Good message but that has been about all the Spike episodes.

After showing some interest in the story a few weeks ago, and even offering to edit for me to continue it, Junegold hit me over the head with these:

Let the Equestria Conspiracies begin!

As the story progresses I will regularly add new characters to fill various rolls either major or minor in the story.
Feel free to submit any character ideas to me in a private message.

I am also looking for additional proof readers and editors for 'Dying Embers' and possibly future stories (But that won't be for a while)
If you are interested then send me a private message.
