Because I've got a lot of ideas in my head that want out but might not be able to find their way into a story.

First of all, Merry Christmas, Festive Hearth's Warming, and Happy Holidays to all!
As some people may know, I'm rather fond of gingerbread. Specifically the design and construction of gingerbread houses. It's one of my more passionate hobbies, if a somewhat seasonal one.
This year I decided to tackle a new challenge (while trying a variety of new techniques, tricks, and recipe variants) in order to bring to life a classic structure from the hallowed halls of My Little Pony fandom.
For somepony who started out as an animation error, Ditzy has evolved into quite the character.
Someone asked me earlier today how the Upper Factory was laid out. Specifically, as it was before the renovations done by the time of Pegasus Device. I took some time in MS Paint to mock up the general idea I have of it by now.
Grading Scale:
A (fantastic episode)
A- (an excellent episode with at least one flaw)
B+ (a great episode with a couple of flaws)
B (a good episode which still could have been better)
So, it’s been a hell of a week. A lot of things happened this week. But I’m not here to talk about that particular thing. I’m not here to talk about politics. I’m here to talk about writing and about ponies.
They’re much happier topics anyway.
The reason that I am reviewing so many by the same author this time is because starting with “Crusader’s Quest in Cloudsdale,” they are all sequels in the order that I have listed them.
So, here they are:
Crusader’s Quest in Cloudsdale by BoredWriter
Colt Like Behavior by BoredWriter
Equestrian Expedition by BoredWriter
Biting Buddies by BoredWriter
Hexirit’s Curse by BoredWriter
So y'all have one of those moments of going to bed, and suddenly you have thoughts popping in your head, yeah that happened to me yesterday XD
So long story short, I was just getting ready for bed yesterday, around 11pm, then I suddenly have a couple of thoughts and questions that came to me:
There are some writers who have little universes of their own. A writer who writes a bunch of stories in the same continuity. This can lead to a lot of fun, as we can see hints of future stories in past ones, and vice-versa, and there’s a sort of interwoven tapestry between them. From Ghost of Heraclitus’s Civil Service stories, to Skywriter’s Cadance of Cloudsdale cycle, to Estee’s Tryptich verse, there’s a lot of fun to be had in these stories.
I rewatched this episode today and my mind got caught on one interesting detail:
How Cherry Berry was bringing Rainbow Dash, Granny Smith and the other grandmares to Las Pegasus in her hot-air balloon.
Now with all this drama, I find myself worried that the story I finished for Lemon Crumble on Thursday will get overlooked because people associate her with drama now and feel reminded on the drama when seeing a story about her. Which is why I'm thinking about waiting for another week or so with releasing this story. But I'd like to get some input first.
I have made a decision about the release of Lemon Crumble's story. I had to open a thread in the Writer's Group since I didn't receive enough responses here, but it's decided now.
The story will get published either today or tomorrow. I will wind down a little now by watching the Finale again and once I've done that and if I still have the energy to write a blog entry that will accompany the release, I will go and publish it.
Months in development, A Study in Chaos Theory is the first major book in the Wavelength Timeline's third act, the Dreamers Arc. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Things are finally in motion!
Sequence Initiation, the first chapter, is now available!
When I started watching the Season 9 Finale, I did not expect this. Lemon Crumble got a speaking role!
