Happy Friday everyone! I hope this one is treating you right. It is time, once again, to answer some of the questions in the mail box. As always, if you'd like to know something please don't hesitate Ask Us!

From time to time Crystal and I like to put out mini-fics as part of our Patreon rewards. These are generally not for a large audience than our main readers and often focus on random elements.

Today's mini-fic falls within random for sure. It is a non-canon tale about Silent Knight and Sunny Day. I'll be releasing it in little bits for the rest of the year. Enjoy!

Another Friday means another Ask Us! If you have questions for Crystal, myself, or our characters be sure to submit them via the Ask Us form! We'll answer them as we can.

Mikesnipe asked:

Silent Knight, Have you written your mother recently? How has she been recently?

SK: Written some. Although I've actually been to visit her a bit more lately. She much prefers that I've found. Who knew!

House Keeping

As a special treat this week we're getting three updates! I just launched Chapter 5 of Three of Diamonds so that it will sync up properly with Secrets of a Royal Guard. I want to show why Sunny showed up the way she did before I resolve it :D

The Questions

Rockabilly asked:

Icefire asked:

Do you guys have any kind of relationship outside of writing? And if so, did you meet through writing or some other way? Just curiosity, if you don't want to answer, I understand.

DJthomp asked:

Here's a question I've been wondering about for a while now, but feel free to ignore it if it's too personal (and my apologies in advance if it is). Are the two of you a couple?

Dale asked:

Rockability asked:

Sunny, how are you holding up? Does all your newfound responsibility come with increased pay? Also, was making Silent Knight deal with those dragons a secret punishment?

Hello everyone! Your Monday update has launched. You won't see it in your notes because it is a new story! Three of Diamonds is out in the wild.

This story crosses over into Secrets of a Royal Guard, Crystal's Wishes, and Velvet's story. Please check it out! I hope you enjoy it.

Three of Diamonds

JML asked:

Is there any kind of timeline up for the stories of Crystal and Silent compared to the main story/seasons of MLP? I'm completely lost on whether Discord already happened, or if Cadence and Shining defeated Sombra or what might be coming up.

Officially, no. Crystal and I do have an incredibly detailed one that we work from. It is filled with spoilers though. As far as matching Q&B to the main story line it works like this:

Hello everyone! I just wanted to reach out and give you all a heads up about the new Quill & Blade update schedule. Next week I'll be going to a Secrets for one update and Three of Diamonds for the other. Three of Diamonds has been painstakingly woven into the Secrets timeline as well as into Crystal's Wishes and TBA Velvet story.

Skarsnik asked:

Dot, What do you think of the mare your sister is dating?

I think Winterspear is great! She's actually the best marefriend Iridescence has had in my opinion. All the others were so snobby and mean. They never wanted to color with me or play. Winterspear does all of that! We're friends.

When Crystal and I launched Ask Us I wasn't sure how much traction we'd get. Ask Silent Knight had been popular on Tumblr but these things are still hard to gauge. Suffice to say this was popular. Our form has been flooded with questions in a very short period of time. That is exciting!

When I first started writing Memoirs of a Royal Guard I hopped on Tumblr and mirrored the story there. Additionally, I put together an "Ask Silent Knight" form so that readers could ask questions. It actually turned out to be pretty popular. Lately, however, I haven't spent much time on Tumblr. Keeping FIM Fiction and Quill & Blade up to date is enough work. Plus Tumblr has its own barriers of entry for users here who may want to ask a question.

Update

Happy end of month everyone! I'm quite shocked that July flew by so swiftly.

Next week we'll hit what I deem to be roughly the halfway point of Secrets of a Royal Guard. I think you'll all enjoy it. I am also really excited for what I consider the "back half" of the story. I've invested a lot of time and effort slipping in subtle things since Memoirs that are all going to pay off and pay off big!

Hello everyone! Just a brief heads up. I accidentally double clicked when publishing the Secret update and "unpublished" the chapter. That does strange things to notifications. It is published now and may not show up in your notifications. At any rate, it is there per the usual Monday update!

I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday. It has been a while since I've done a blog post and I'm in an interactive mood! Today's theme is the Quill & Blade AU. If you have a question about the world let me know and I'll do my best to answer without any spoilers of future information. I do want to note that if you're not caught up you might find spoilers below!
