So, it's midnight where I am right now (Which is Minnesota, by the way, because I am going to be attending Ciderfest with the majority of the Troll Squad) and it occured to me that I didn't publish the final chapter of CiF!

WELL TIME TO FIX THAT BEFORE I GO TO CIDERFEST!

So, for all of you who could not attend the convention, here is the chapter.

For all of you who are, I hope you all have fun! I know I will!

THIS ONE GOES TO 11!

I mean, uhm, yeah stupid jokes aside I shall soon present to you chapter 11 of Canterlot in Flames, which is titled "Discord's Traveling Puppet Show!" which, honestly, if that doesn't sound interesting I don't know what you people like, because as the title says this chapter has Discord, and puppets! Who doesn't like puppets!?

Anyway, it also has other things besides puppets, like foals watching the puppet show... oh and more Renegades showing up for a brief moment.

So, I was actually going to post this yesterday, but forgot because I am smartest pony!

Anyway, this chapter starts back up some of the political intrigue and introduces a few new characters, as well as advances the plotlines for some of them.

Oh, and also Daring is face down in a bowl of oatmeal, so that's a thing.

Anyway, have fun reading it!

Hey, everybody. I’m talking about someone else’s work today, which probably seem weird with how quiet I normally am, but I was just… very surprised at how well a Royal Guard themed story I was reading was executed. I’m glad I stuck it out, because the first chapter—while it does set the premise—almost turned me completely away. Everything after that, though?

I mentioned in a post last month that I was gonna start writing a longer story around Gallus in the Royal Guard Academy called Bluebird. To let you know my progress, I started writing it two weeks ago. Since I'm back at work full time, I'm largely gonna be writing it on weekends. Meanwhile, I've commissioned some MLP art (the first time I've ever done so, funnily enough) to use as the cover, hopefully you folks will

Good afternoon, Mares and Gentlecolts.

So, I've had it done for a few weeks, I've just been waiting to finish chapter 6 before I put this out here, but Chapter 6 was finished last night so now is the time to post this new one!

So, before I get into anything else, I would like to post a small summery of chapters 7-8, as those were the violent chapters and I know a lot of people likely don't read the story because of the fact it's marked "gore". Because of this, I promised I'd post a small summary of the chapters so that, if people chose to, you may skip those two and just go to the (mostly) non-violent chapters.

So, Chapter 7:

So, here I published the last chapter last week, but I've got a nice buffer built up so here is the next chapter! Chapter 10: Time!

This one is really just some world building and character development, nothing world or ground breaking, which after the last few chapters is out of the ordinary, but hey sometimes you need a break form the large whirlwind plots and epic action, right?

Now, before I get into meat of this blog post, I need to say something first.

Up until now, the story has been tame, with some injury and some death in it. But never anything 'on screen' as it were. The Command Sergeant and the Captain of the Guard, along with all the Guards and Reserves who died in the initial attack died off-screen, and there was one guard who died near Daring but wasn't shown.

That all changes after this chapter.

I was thinking how it would be if Twilight had its own Royal Guards. as many have done, and then I overthinking very deep... Hehehe

So, I just hit the publish button on CiF chapter 16, entitled "Spies"!

It was a fun chapter to write, though I think it was quite shorter than average.

As, sadly, is this blog post. I've been having a crappy week, what with the fact I attended a memorial service on Saturday, and today I learned my grandfather is deteriating faster than we'd thought.

Honestly, I'm glad I have a backlog, so I can keep posting chapters....

Until next time, though!

So, here is Chapter 9 for Canterlot in Flames!

It took me a while to write, seeing as the last chapter was the largest I've ever written...

But, anyway, it's the first chapter of the new arc, in which we're back to more normal things such as political intrigue and all that fun intellectual stuff.

The three changelings sat behind cover as the magic beams continued flying at them. They looked at each other, before nodding and standing up.

The guard Captain raised his hoof up. “Hold fire! I think they’re surrendering!”

The guards stopped firing, looking at the changelings, who were growling. “Haha! We’re victorious!” one guard cheered.

Well, mares and stallions, this is it! Chapter 8: Inferno!

This is the end of the battle against Blueblood's forces, with Twilight bringing in the troops that the city has needed since the first hour of the battle. And she isn't alone in this, she is bringing in a host of new, and old, characters to help the city!

LOOK A NEW CHAPTER!

Welcome to Chapter 18, THE TRIAL!

In any event, this chapter is perhaps one of my longest ever written, and details the trial of the Nobility who fought beside our dear Archduke Blueblood! The chapter is one of my best, I think, as I put a lot of work into the language and the dialogue, but it's also a chapter I am quite nervous about how you all will react to it.

So yes, two years. I had initially wanted to do readings of stories. following in the footsteps of Crazed Ramblings or Scarlette Blade. However, my voice leaves much to be desired when it comes to expressing emotion and character.

So, hello again, it's been well over a month since the last chapter of Bluebird, huh? I know someone asked about it in the comments section but the next chapter is on its way, as of writing it's been sent to the editor, who will take as much time as they need to look it over. Once they are happy with it, it'll be up.

To hold you over, I thought I'd make a few things clear to you all:

Decided I will release Thursday 4/15 instead of Friday 4/16. Upvotes make me 🎶happy🎵! Think Autumn Blaze. In chapter 8, a royal guard pony will try to find who Princess Celestia sensed casting so strongly in her vicinity. The reason is not at all what Starlight expects.

There will be a new chapter of Bluebird on Wednesday, I'm proofreading it at the moment. It's gonna be the first of another two-parter because of its length, but Lightning Dust gets involved. Hopefully, people will like it, then I'll eventually let Gallus finish the first of three terms of the Royal Guard Academy.
