tl;dr: Even the toughest of us are afraid of the dark, of being trapped and held back, but usually it’s secretly a fear of weakness.

Well that's it guys, wrote the story I got into Ponyfic for, see you all on the other side bbbyyyyeeeee~!

I kid, I kid. But Seriously: Three Years, probably close to the day I have been working on this story. I know because I joined Fimfiction shortly after committing the opening lines to paper in the basement of the Kenyon Review office in my Junior year of College.

Gosh it has been a long time.

You know, I really wish I could say I planned the story that pulls from the Story Shuffle EG fics to end at the end of October. Still a fun coincidence, though.

Updates may be a bit slower than usual because my laptop's screen is going out (covered by spazzing pink lines) so I am using my tablet...which I type a bit slower on....although on a plus note I can at least take this with me wherever so I can work on things in my spare time.

Hello and thank you for reading Reconciliations.

This story marks the end of Sunset's "Recovery Arc", my EQG AU continuity that I've been posting stories in for over a year. Now that Sunset has buried the hatchet with all of the Other Five AND her ex, I'm eager to focus on some lighter topics for awhile. Follow me below the jump for more rant!

tl;dr: Ever notice how Spike is summarily dismissed or removed from fanfiction for plot purposes? “I left him at Rarity’s.” “He’s on a Dragon vision quest.” “Sorry, Spike. Maybe when you’re about a hundred years older.” Like he’s some sort of plot parasite. Lazy authors, the lot of ‘em.

Well, A Crazed Gleam is out of the featured box, and it’s clear that I have a lot to talk about. Spoilers follow if you haven’t read the story yet.

tl;dr: Next time you decide to plant your bare ass on a priceless, one-of-a-kind treasure map, just make sure you’re not sitting on the X that marks the spot. Sends the wrong message.

tl;dr: There’s a reason there’s only one apple farm in all of Ponyville, and it ain’t because they’re lacking in space or demand.

Whoo boy, this chapter. Ok. So, way back in the day it wasn’t the Tome that took over, but a super evil other villain you’ve already met if you’ve seen any of the show itself. My reviewer pointed out that it was a fucking stupid idea (my words; he was much more diplomatic about it) and I tore it out. It’s still in the deleted scenes I have in my workspace.

tl;dr: Don’t buck apple trees if you’re tired. You’re liable to pull something.

What would it be like to not cast a shadow? Hold your hand up over your face to block the sun. Can you still see the light source? If so, how do you see through your hand? If not, how is the skin immediately around your eyes illuminated? I mean, magic, sure. But how?

Well, so I puplished the next chapter of TDATP2 today, and while writing the short authors note, I had an idea. Maybe I add a recipe for something in it next time, maybe waffles or something as simple, so people post comments about the dish at least I mean, we all know authors die for comments, (or kill for them) but normally I don't get much for the actuall content of the chapters. So maybe, next time a recipe it is, or something else that draw attention

tl;dr: Treasure maps aren’t one-way. Sometimes, when a map leads you in, it leads something else back out. SO SPOOPY

Thanks for continuing to read Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows. Show some love and throw down a comment for everyone else to see!

I found this reddit post. I’m so happy, but also late.

I mean, did you really expect them to choose the sneaky way? Good try, but fuck that noise. This is an action adventure! But I’m really glad some people voted. And I love discussions in the comments section. Keep it up!

So, I just wrapped up a conflict that has been affecting the story since chapter five.

173w, 6d ago

Yeah... it's been a while.

I should probably slap a spoilers tag on the rest of the blog. So...

Warning, the following will be spoilers on everything relating to Green from chapters 5 through the current chapter.

Still with me? Okay.

So, Twilestia and Twinkie.

I’m nervous. I’m really nervous. Not about Chapter 14 — that’s easy. Slam Dunk. Straight Value. I’m scared because I’m not finished Chapter 15 and I’ve only got a month left. It’s gotta be good. It’s gotta carry its weight. It’s gotta follow Chapter 14 — a tough requirement if ever — and I’m not sure that it does, yet.

So, yeah. Nervous. This is crunch time.

tl;dr: Y’all think Daring Do has a thing for getting tied up, restrained, bound, or shackled? And, if so, how would she feel seeing Rose hogtie somepony else?

I was indeed featured on EquestriaDaily! Whee! And I got almost 300 views that day alone. If you’re publishing MLP fiction and want to reach a wide audience, EqD is the way to go. Just be sure to be patient with the feedback process—they get a lot of submissions and they have high standards. For reference, I submitted back on the first of August (it’s nearly October now.)

This movie is basically my inspiration for the Shadow Ponies:

So the next chapter is basically a rehash of the start of the rainbow rocks film, although it may take a bit longer than normal for me to update because I am going to be figuring out possible reasons and fillers for plot holes that had been left in the movie. (the dazzlings being 1000s of years old and yet looking like teens for example) as well as some other things.

Hello and thank you for reading my latest "Burritoverse" story and clicking through to my author's notes. Before the jump, I just want to note that this story is being published on the 2-year anniversary of Sunset Shimmer Buys A Burrito. I didn't realize the dates would line up until after I finished this story, but I'm very happy for the coincidence.
