So as mentioned in a blog post, I was a bit creatively blocked thanks to a total vocabulary fail on my own part. (Thanks again to all those who did their best to help me find a completely fictitious word referencing a total fantasy concept, it was an uphill task to begin with) I'm still trying to hunt down/create that damn word, but if necessary I'll restructure the current chapter to avoid its need and revisit the

Lost Little Wolf earned a new chapter thanks to the four people who voted for it. Second up was Double Trixie Trouble with two votes. A surprising last minute vote came in for Destiny with a Capital D, so at least one of you is an Ever After High fan.

(AppleDarling forever! I'll fight you on this...)

So look forward to a new chapter of LLW this coming Thursday.

There's no good way to embed it, but here you go:

After I got home last night, I found out my Internet was down and may not be up again until sometime next week. I've got access at work, but the firewalls are remarkably arbitrary (Tumblr didn't used to be blocked, then you couldn't see some of the images, this week it's blocked entirely. I can get to deviantArt but not MyLittleFaceWhen, etc.) so I don't have access to all the tools I need to do all the Fanfiction Friday stuff. The work guest wifi is, as near as I can tell, completely

So the first part of Lost Little Wolf is done. I'm not planning on naming it "part 1" or anything, just that it happens to be the first major story arc is now complete. This also marks the point at which I wanted to be at so I could start doing actual votes/polls for Fanfiction Friday, so huzzah! Fanfiction Friday shall commence!

Here's how it will work:

So this chapter is turning out to be a LOT bigger than I thought it would. What seems in the mind's outline to be a simple few scenes can require a LOT of additional dialog and narrative to stitch them all together. I'm torn at this point on whether to split the chapter or just post one really long one.

So for reasons, I needed to have an idea what kind of calendar Equestria would use.

Being fairly familiar with calendaring and having an armchair researcher's understanding of the history of them, I set about researching what we knew about the Equestrian calendar and built from there.

Facts we know:
* Our calendars are based on the sun and moon's movements through the sky

I'm not quite to the point with Lost Little Wolf where I feel I've gotten out all the major foundational ideas yet, so this week's FFF will be dedicated to finishing up that particular work.

Polls will be opening up soon to vote on what I'll be working on for FFF, so if you haven't already, take a little time and read my other works so you know what you do and don't want to vote for:

Double Trixie Trouble

Granted, not alot of work, but some was, indeed, done.

Good news: I'm finally able to get back to Trixie (one of them) with this chapter.

Bad news: Thanks to my ex-wife's shenanigans, I was only able to get a few paragraphs in today.

I want to get some ideas out of my head before too long, so I will be doing more work on it before the weekend is over, I'm just not sure when I'll be able to post the update.

So while the votes are in (Double Trixie Trouble with 100%...again) work on the fanfic is delayed until tomorrow at the earliest. I had some car trouble that totally screwed my schedule for today.

The poll last week worked wonderfully, and here's this week's:

Poll for 6/24/2016

So today I took some time out of my lunch hour at work to hammer out some text for Double Trixie Trouble, and I'm happy to report that a fresh chapter is almost complete! I'll add the last bits before the weekend is out and post ASAP.

It does not, unfortunately, have any focus whatsoever on the eponymous mare or her human counterpart. Yes, it's yet more background and flavor.

It starts out funny enough that I'm hoping you won't care.

What do my fans want me to work on next?

Serious question, actually. I've got three fics I really want to finish, and the most recent request regarding what I should work on next is for my Ranma 1/2/I My Me Strawberry Eggs crossover.

My horse-fiction fans will need to weigh in if they want to see Double Trixie Trouble updated first. ;)
