I'm updating again.
Starting with Equestrian Human!
Looking at where the story is at this point, all I can say is that between it and Shattered Rainbow taking place in the same universe, at the same time, it'd be pretty hard to actually get back to updating either story.
The plots of both stories are completely unplanned and quite messy, with the Lab Horse series actually being made mostly of filler material, and lacking a central plot ever since the end of Space Horse.
Just because there hasn't been chapter updates doesn't mean that it's not progressing.
I'm currently doing some catch-up in Shattered Rainbow to get that and the main series back in sync as far as time goes, and I currently have ~300 words written for the next yet-to-be-published chapter. Once that's done, I'll get back to Equestrian Human and tie things up across both fics.
I'll post a follow-up blog once it's completed if you wanna see it. For now I'm planning on using it as a way to be able to quickly reference events that happened without having to go back through the story or search the bare-bones storyline I have, since about half of the series is improv while the other half is actually planned.
With the end of Lab Horse drawing near, it's about time we begin to talk about the sequel.
A) Space Horse. Gadget miscalculates her teleportation and instead finds herself on a space station.
There wouldn't be very many chapters, as the usable world and scenery would be pretty small.
Added multiple ideas to the new Universal Framework for Pony-Me's original fiction adaptation, and worked on chapters for two currently-unreleased stories that I plan on publishing soon.
I should probably get back to working on the Pony-Me fan character story, shouldn't I? I've been so busy with life and new story ideas that I nearly forgot that I still need to work on it.
If you haven't realized, I've essentially been using fanfic writing as a way to improve my writing skills, partially so I could try making something completely original, and partially so that I'd have some sort of fallback if something happens.
One of the more obvious stories in which I tried to be a bit more original is Lab Horse and Space Horse, with Equestrian Human tying up the series as of now, but also returning to a much more closely-linked relationship with MLP.
I will put Into Equestria on an indefinite hiatus for the time being. Maybe I'll figure out what the heck I want the story to be to me someday, or maybe I'll even rewrite the thing a second time. The fact stands that I have no direction for the future of the series, save for the original fiction adaptation that I've continuously set aside now to try and shoehorn my way through Into Equestria. I'll be working on that instead of Pony-Me's sequel from now on.
Across every incarnation of Zoey that's existed across my stories (including before I even started writing on Fimfic!), one thing is always certain: she's childish as heck, and is pretty much guaranteed to be in her teens or younger.
Yeah, yeah, I'd be killing reboots. Not like I haven't done that before.
Point is, I haven't so much as thought about those two fics for several months now, though I do still want to see them completed at some point or another.
I've finally decided. I'll write out the final story arc of Equestrian Human, likely merge it with Shattered Rainbow, and write a sequel that may or may not have the rating bumped to "T" due to an upcoming conflict that'll begin in the final chapters of EH.
From there, we'll see what happens...
As for now, I now have to work on tying up two stories in preparation for the merger.
Apparently this
Is doing immensely better than this now.
I guess that's just saying something about plot stagnation when the author runs into multiple writer's blocks, huh?
It has been completed.
I still could only get one shoe drawn properly. Ignore derp shoe.
Don't forget that Gadget mentions early on in Equestrian Human that she's suddenly a brunette!

No, my internet's actually running fine for once.
It's just that I'm still getting closer and closer to that dramatic turning point in the Lab Horse series that would either mark the end of the series or a shift to an entirely new focus and/or genre.
Like as in, in a couple chapters, I'll be moving onto the final story arc that I have planned for the series, and by final, I mean that I'm still having trouble trying to figure out what should come next.
IT LIIIIIIIVES!
Tell me if the description sounds alright.
To replace Pony-Me: Rogue, which is on hiatus until further notice, I'll be bringing back something that I haven't touched in a loooong time...
This series.
I've pretty much lost all interest in the series, and honestly, even simply from the writing style differences between the series and what I now write, it's become insanely hard to keep everything working out smoothly.
Best I can do is probably get straight into the ending arcs for both Shattered Rainbow and Equestrian Human. Even if I originally did have a sequel planned for both stories, I honestly doubt that I'd be interested in pulling it off anytime soon now.
Three words:
The Clockwork City
-Set immediately after EH and Shattered Rainbow ends, and focuses more on action/adventure than the slice of life that the two stories were before. It'll be typed in a way so that reading the previous stories isn't exactly needed to understand what is happening.
There seems to be a recent trend pushing for me to ship Ranell and Gadget in my Lab Horse series...
Shall I?
EDIT: Whoops. I was probably getting a bit ahead of myself. It's just a single person suggesting to ship, but it's still something I could easily pull off.
...Not to mention the slew of possibilities that shipping a major character and a minor character would bring in terms of fueling the metaphorical flame of the story...
Next chapter of Equestrian Human is in-production right now, and boy, am I enjoying all this dialogue.
Specifically, the dialogue between Gadget and her dad.
