A Quick Heads-Up · 1:06am Aug 19th, 2023
I'm going to try to get the next actual chapter of M.L.G. up tonight, but I'm likely not going to be on to answer any comments for the next few days.
I'm going to try to get the next actual chapter of M.L.G. up tonight, but I'm likely not going to be on to answer any comments for the next few days.
I have my doubts that I'll be able to finish the chapter by my estimated deadline. Work and distractions have been a bit of a thing, and on top of that, I have to go to the hospital on Monday so they can check to see how the Humira I've been taking is treating me. The chapter is nowhere near finished, much to my annoyance. So if I'm unable to upload anything by next Saturday, I'll let you know.
I still haven't received the picture yet--not surprising, considering that people tend to be busy during the month of December--but work on M.L.G. continues. I've got two chapters done. Well, technically one and a third chapters done: material for the second day of Gray's challenge is finished, but the third day has enough material going for it that what I have finished will be the first part of three.
...I've set up a basic page for M.L.G. over at TV Tropes. Those of you who are familiar with the site and are willing to contribute, feel free to check things out here.
Just wanted to let you all know. >^_^< Take care, and ciao mein for now.
Name: Turkey Bowl
Species: Male earth pony
Approximate Age: Late twenties
Coloration: Red tail and beard. Lacks any real mane to speak of. Light brown coat, dark brown eyes.
Cutie Mark: Navy blue and turquoise Equestrian bowling ball, with a turkey's head in the center
Special talent: Accuracy
Accessories: Wears a light gray jacket.
Voice: Michael Rosenbaum as Wally West.
Name: Drama Heart. Uses "Burning Salamandra" as her stage name, and as such also answers to 'Sally'. Will also accept "Flaming Salamandra" as an alternative in case ponies forget.
Species: Female unicorn
Approximate Age: Early thirties
Coloration: Dull purple coat, lilac mane and tail with two white stripes each. Eyes are a dark magenta.
Cutie mark: A burning 'tragedy'-type theater mask
Name: Cocoa Mocha
Species: Earth pony
Approximate Age: Mid-eighties at the time of his death
Coloration: Dark brown coat, gray-white mane and tail (was previously a gold color)
Cutie Mark: [CLASSIFIED]
Special Talent: Unknown
Accessories: Wears a silver locket around his neck.
Approximate Voice: William Afton. That's not ominous at all.
Chapter's not close to done yet, but I have enough of it written out that I can update the story. "Glintlock - Part One" should be up within the next few days, provided I can remember to take my flash drive to work tomorrow. ()^_^
Been looking at pictures of Central Park recently. The Glintlock chapters are going to be taking place in M.L.G.'s equivalent to it, and I want to make sure some of the details translate to the printed page properly.
Chapter's still nowhere near done, but I may as well whip one of these up while I have a few minutes.

Name: Glintlock
Species: Griffon
Approximate Age: Mid-thirties
Coloration: Dark gray plumage, white and tan fur, with a few light gray marks on his face indicating old scars
Accessories (standard): Stetson hat, shield-type sunglasses with dark lenses
I'm not going to be doing any writing for M.L.G. for the rest of the week. Part of that's because I have a couple days off of work this week, and I want to take this chance to get some much-needed rest (and my work laptop is where I do most of my typing anyway). Another part is that while I was able to find someone able to draw the art piece I had in mind, there's still another person ahead of me on the waiting list. And even though most of the next chapter is done, I don't want to post it
Name: Limefrost Spiral
Species: Female earth pony
Approximate Age: Twenty-three years
Coloration: Off-white coat, green eyes, and mane and tail in assorted shades of light green
Cutie Mark: A bowl of vanilla ice cream garnished with a lime slice
Special Talent: Artistry
Accessories: Is always seen with green bands of some kind or other around her forelegs.
So, yeah: I got hit with a sudden onslaught of work within the past few days. Same client as the one from October-November of last year. They wanted some more stuff done, and the company I work for was tasked with handling it. I had no time to work on M.L.G. today, and that's likely to continue on into next week. As such, the new Chapter Update Deadline is now March 23.
Name: Statuette
Species: Female pegasus
Approximate Age: Late twenties
Coloration: Snow white coat and mane, lime green eyes
Cutie Mark: A crystalline rapier wreathed in ice
Special Talent: Unknown
Accessories/Clothing: A white-and-teal figure skating uniform on the job; a glittery white bracelet off the clock
Worked this image of Drama Heart (sane) up in the Pony Creator. Had to draw the Cutie Mark separately.
I'm not feeling too good due to the preparations I had to undergo for my visit to the hospital tomorrow, so I'm going to cut this off here for now.
First off, the next chapter's coming along despite my life's usual attempts at stalling it. I'm guessing either the 17th or the 20th for the update. As another reminder, it's going to be darker and heavier-handed compared to the previous chapter (something that I never thought I'd say about one of my stories), to the point that I'm going to be adding another red tag. Consider yourself warned.
This latest batch of music is for First Quarter and their agents. A few of them you've probably heard reading the chapters associated with them (with the exception of Metallium's), and the rest will likely be gotten to when the time comes.
I think Bushwhacker was the hardest to find music for, but in the end I feel that one down there suits him best.

Part of my slowness in writing M.L.G.'s latest chapter is for the usual reasons: tiredness, minor depression, having other things on the mind, that sort of thing. However, in what can only be described as "whimsy", I've recently decided to complete a list of all of the intentional shout-outs and references in the story as of the most recent chapter.
Don't ask me why. I couldn't explain it if I tried.
...one CyanLightning was nice enough to handle a commission of Ebony Evening for me. Check out his excellent work at Derpibooru at the link below!
Just wanted to let those following me and M.L.G. know that I'm going to take a break from writing for a few days.
Want to know why?
Got another commissioned art piece for you from EvanRank at DeviantArt. Here's an image of Drama Heart in full Burning Salamandra attire, from the M.L.G. chapter "A Limitless Chest of Tales".
You can find the original here. If you like what you see, feel free to click the link above and check out more of the artist's work!
