The Weekly Saturday - The Herd Evolved Chapter 3 · 7:04pm Apr 9th, 2016
Nothing much more to say than another chapter for The Herd Evolved! I haven't sent it for editing yet, but I feel like you've all been patient!
Enjoy!

I know this is slightly earlier than my usual updates.

So about two weeks ago I sent out a message asking if I was good enough at art to start taking commissions, and received an overwhelming yes. So without further ado, here is the pricing sheet for my commission information! And if you can't tell I'm super excited... there is also something interesting in this week's blog so... go read it! http://jdbener.tumblr.com/post/135540273145/vector-images-unshaded-characters
Before I begin, I will say that I will not be talking about this week's episode. I can't trust myself to do it while sticking to my no spoiler policy. If you want an analysis go look up every other brony ever, after you watch the episode.
So, Patreon is being a bit of a jerk again. Or rather, the automatic banking system that exists now that they've gone international is being a jerk. My money is being held because of 'suspicious activity' which I think is code for 'our banks aren't talking to each other right now, let's see what we can do to get them to make up.'
Eleven days to publish the rest of the month's stories. Yay.
It's now a week longer!
Hopefully I'll get more than one entry this time.
Prompt: Once More With Feeling
Theme: Out With a Bang
Genre: Any.
Word count: 1,000+. There is no maximum.
Rating: All are permitted, for once.
Deadline: October 20th, at midnight. This one's almost three weeks because it's special.
No, I'm serious. I'm... 1500 words away from releasing a chapter long anticipated in one of my pony fics. And a few thousand other words from another, and there's a lot on AO3 about to go down. And I'm still working on Record Wisdom Bonus Yield, with the current arc's backlog almost completely done. A lot of delayed projects are coming together, and you should expect a burst of productivity come this next week.
Sorry guys, I was going to pony but...
weeeeeelll
Dramatic episodes are sort of addicting.
But I did get another chapter of With Catlike Tread out. And I am still working on pony. AND THE PATREON ISSUE IS FIXED this month anyway, so to those of you that sent me kofi money I have sent back your kofi money.
I was just informed that, last night, of my friends went missing.
She's still out there.
Motherfucker.
So I’ve put up two more chapters of Running Ink and my muse is already working on a third that might go up today, unlikely but not impossible, and will go up tomorrow if not today.
And it’s ignoring the ponies no matter how much I try to direct it toward that one fic.
Muse, seriously, these ponies helped you get started, what’s with the leaving them?
So, you may have noticed that I didn't update yesterday. There's a very good reason for that.
Okay first of all, if you haven't played the Octo expansion of Splatoon two, there are SPOILERS IN THIS THING. GAMEPLAY SPOILERS. Also story spoilers.
I mean... I just turned 28.
I'm still in the top hundred follower count on this site, even though the ponies seem to be avoiding my muse, or maybe it's vice versa. And it's not like I want to stop writing pony, they're so nice and... heartwarming. Even when they explore the dark. There's hope there.
So, this week Semi-Neurotic Teenage Girl of Action got another chapter and I started on Secret Keeper Stacy which is, yes, another Phineas and Ferb fanfiction. Can I just say, I am very saddened by the state of the fanfiction of the Phineas and Ferb fandom? I mean, there are gems, but not a lot of originality--which for a show that is based on zaniness
You know how I've been saying I need to catch up on pony?
I'm going to actually do that this week. Or month. But for the moment, allow me to link you to the second chapter of Shining Pokémon Triangle, wherein discussion happens.
Okay that's not fair.
I have done a lot of planning and some contributions to group fanfiction. And I'm in contact with a guy to do a thing. If you know about the thing, you probably know about the guy.
But when it comes to my own work, basically... nada.
(Also, my internet bill came in, and I'm nine dollars short. This is starting to be a pattern... can I maybe ask for a niner? Or a tenner?)
It's halloween, the night about scariness and dressing up, so why not have a zombie in a fuku? Rotting Sailor-Suited Guardian: Zombie Moon has one chapter published and, muse willing, another will go up soon!
The good news is that I have four chapters of my long-term Pokemon mythos fic up, yay! My muse might even be willing to back off from her pokemon obsession soon.
So as most of you are aware, I am reliant on patreon for my personal income. What you may not be aware of is that it forms half my monthly income... the other half comes from my caring parents, who donate five hundred a month so I can pay rent.
And my father has been laid off his job.
