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

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.

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

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.

tl;dr: The color of a Unicorn’s magic is as unique as one of our finger prints. To see a room colored just so would be reassuring to a Unicorn in trouble.

tl;dr: When you take your quests from the Notices and Affairs Board at the local adventurer’s tavern, you’re bound to run into other adventurers. Keep to protocol and yield the right-of-way, and everyone will have a good time.

You're still following along? That's awesome! Did you guess this chapter’s title? As we go the titles are going to get more and more meaningful, providing hints to what’s going to happen next.

tl;dr: All any of us want is to be loved, to be cared for, and to be seen as a total badass.

How did you guys like the shorter chapter? I would've folded it in with one of the chapters on either end but it just quite fit. Plus, it's been awhile since Twilight has had the spotlight. How about shorter Author's Notes? Not that anyone reads these, of course. I could probably spoil the whole ending and no one would notice. MAYBE I ALREADY HAVE.

This is one of my favorite chapters. Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows is starting to encompass all the qualities I love about a good adventure story, and then some: danger, excitement, drama, and magic.

Also butt jokes. Goddamn I love butt jokes.

tl;dr: Look, I like have ponies bash their heads into things, alright? It’s a thing for me. It’s gonna keep happening. Just . . . just deal with it.

Many thanks for reading Chapter 2 of Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows. If you're enjoying it, why not hit that thumbs-up button and leave a comment? In case you couldn't tell, us writers are basically addicts that need the approval from others.
