Lost Little Wolf earned a new chapter thanks to the four people who voted for it. Second up was Double Trixie Trouble with two votes. A surprising last minute vote came in for Destiny with a Capital D, so at least one of you is an Ever After High fan.

(AppleDarling forever! I'll fight you on this...)

So look forward to a new chapter of LLW this coming Thursday.

So while the votes are in (Double Trixie Trouble with 100%...again) work on the fanfic is delayed until tomorrow at the earliest. I had some car trouble that totally screwed my schedule for today.

So today I took some time out of my lunch hour at work to hammer out some text for Double Trixie Trouble, and I'm happy to report that a fresh chapter is almost complete! I'll add the last bits before the weekend is out and post ASAP.

It does not, unfortunately, have any focus whatsoever on the eponymous mare or her human counterpart. Yes, it's yet more background and flavor.

It starts out funny enough that I'm hoping you won't care.

Jason Vore-hees!

Sunset Shimmer and Applejack are on their way to Camp Everfree for a fun relaxing camping trip, however their fun will soon end!

So here we go! Time to get down and dirty, this is where the fandom shows their true loyalties!

(Also, where I wax hyperbolic to try and gin up more attention, but pay no attention to the princess behind the curtain!)

For those who need a refresher on the choices:

My job has finally decided that they're "caught up" and have reduced the general workload from 60-hr. work weeks starting at "KILL ME NOW' o'clock to a much more reasonable 40-hr. work week starting at 5:00 AM. This means that I'm not going to be stumbling home at 2:30 PM after a 10 hour work day and taking 3-4 hour naps followed by an hour of fueling up and getting ready for the next day, then following that up with another 3-4 hour nap before starting the process all over again. This means I

So it's that time again, and remember, Lost Little Wolf is NOT an option on the poll this week since it won the vote two weeks in a row. You may be interested, however, in voting for a new project I've been asked to help out with. While I don't normally really go for gangland style fiction, ppg1998 pitched an idea to me that convinced me to give it a go. If you're interested in seeing what this colaboration produces, vote for The Mafia's Saints. (This makes two fics that

Strawpoll is having problems, for some reason. Since I still want to get this ball rolling, I'm using poll.ly for this week's vote; you will have to enter a name to vote, feel free to enter pure jibberish if you want to preserve your anonymity.

By way of refresher, here's the fics available to vote for:

Lost Little Wolf is off to an early lead with 8 votes (and I expected it would, anyway). Coming in second is Fission (but then, I expected that, too). Fallen Star pulls in last so far with a single vote (and I'm pretty sure I know who cast said vote).

Double Trixie Trouble falls from grace and joins the "zero votes" club, alongside Generations of Heroes, Destiny is Like Turtle Wax, Agents of S.M.I.L.E., Destiny with a Capital 'D', and Statutory Consequences.

So apparently the Swarm doesn't like being threatened.

Unless at least 10 more votes come in for Fission, the next project to get worked on will be Lost Little Wolf. This is the point where Fission would be writing a concession speach for this week's poll.

In the interest of fairness, I'll be leaving the polls open until tomorrow evening. You can always...

Vote here: https://poll.ly/#/Ly3m1mmD

So the winner, with 13 votes, is Fallen Star.

"But wait," you say, "The poll results only show 3 votes for Fallen Star."

Ah, you're right...unless you count the votes from the Patreon supporters, where each dollar represents a vote, and Fallen Star got an additional 10 votes thanks to that.

So if you dislike the results of this poll, get over to my Patreon page and become a patron.

I can't post the Fanfiction Friday poll while at work, since the login for Strawpoll is done through Twitch, and good luck getting a video streaming site focused on gaming through a corporate firewall. Look for the poll tonight or tomorrow.

As I'm already considerably late getting this poll posted (it was supposed to go up Friday morning) I'm leaving it open for a full 48 hours as opposed to 24 like usual, so poll will close on Tuesday night.

Also, I've decided to modify the voting slightly: If one of these fics gets picked more than twice in a row, it's removed from the voting for at least one FANFICTION FRIDAY. Some of these fics have been languishing for years, gotta show them some love, too!

So for reasons, I needed to have an idea what kind of calendar Equestria would use.

Being fairly familiar with calendaring and having an armchair researcher's understanding of the history of them, I set about researching what we knew about the Equestrian calendar and built from there.

Facts we know:
* Our calendars are based on the sun and moon's movements through the sky
