Okay, so it might not be a moose. It's sort of a moose.

I'm going to be at Gameholecon Madison, the biggest board-gaming convention in Wisconsin. I will be drunk and stoned for about four days, which makes writing either 'difficult' or 'awesome'. Either way, the editors are in for a treat.

What a nutty month. With the move, in large part, completed my partners and I are getting our lives back on track. Tomorrow is a trip to a cat cafe and board games.

Next week? Porn and eggs.

Yes, we have a place that has brunch three days a week and plays hardcore pornography alongside it. Last time I was in there, there were twenty little old ladies munching on toast and bacon while people had dirty sex on six full size TV's. Thankfully, no sound. Good bacon, though.

Alright, it's finally over and the chapter has gone to the people who are most amazing and valued in this. My editors have got the chapter and it's a full chapter and I swear, I'm not writing this while all fucked up on Robotussin.

To be fair, I am sick and have somehow damaged my back. BUT! That's irrelevant. Chapter cometh and the editors worketh! I'm going to go get incredibly, incredibly drunk.

So...

One of my partner's mothers is in Florida. If you have lately watched the news, you'll know why that's bad. Worse, she's in Del Ray Beach, which is going to take the brunt of the storm. Even worse, she's a fluffy, disorganized, emotional marshmallow with type 2 diabetes who bought a bunch of pudding cups and granola bars yesterday. She has a two day supply of water, and hasn't so much as boarded up her apartment's windows.

It's a little short, it's a lot late, and it's been written in the heat of a caffeine and exhaustion laden move which has driven me to the very edge of insanity as I try to cope with moving into a newer, nicer apartment.

You ever have that feeling when life has been shit for awhile and then suddenly it's not as shit and you keep waiting to wake up?

The place I live in a shitbox; a stinking, foul, retched hive of criminality and mold. It's disgusting on a level most people would find impressive. There's a persistent smell of urine in every hall. I have five years of ignored or late work orders for crap in the building. The 'gym' (with quotes) is North Korean quality. My carpets are 15 years old. It hasn't been painted in almost 18 years. I found a hobo sleeping in the stairwell last week. He offered to sell me meth and PCP laced

Well, this is pretty awesome. A fun little side fic to Starlight by one of the readers! It's decently written, a cute one off, and it explored something I didn't get to. Give it a read, give it an upvote!

-Chessie

Well, that took...too long. Three weeks. Meesh. I really do need to stop lazing around.

On the upside, I got a new video-game recently called 'Dead Cells' which is scratching my Dark Souls itch good and hard. Is sooo much fun! Like cocaine with other cocaine in it!

The chapter should be released in the next few days.

Much love to all the pony people!

-Chessie

This gave me a big smile on a night I needed one. Thanks!

The chapter is moving along, slowly, but I had a rough week and I'm recovering.

I love you guys. Thank you for sticking with this convoluted mess for so long.

-Chessie

Yes, I know I do this on a regular basis, but I feel like keeping you guys in the loop is better than making everybody wait because I'm a giant derpus.

So, they're doing work on the roof of my apartment complex. This would, of course, be fine if I didn't live on the third story. It's compounded by working third shift and sleeping during the day. Yes, this is my private Hell. For two days in a row I haven't slept.

I remember sleep, and it was beautiful, but it is now gone.

Alright, this chapter took a bit, but I think it's a really, really good one! Lots going on and lots of crazy amazing-ness!

I'll have it in your hooves in the next three days, presuming the editors are on their games (which they always are!) Tonight is Taco Naked Vodka Drinky Tuesday! Followed by Hangover Self Pity Wednesday!

Wish me luck!

-Chessie

However, we are amping up to something pretty awesome here! I found a good stopping place and figured it might be worthwhile to make this chapter a tad short. Yeah, I'm aware 4k worth of words is only 'short' in context, but...we'll gloss over that.

Read More

Alright colts and fillies, the chapter is going to the editors TONIGHT if it kills me.

Three weeks is too damn long for a chapter, but this has been about the worst winter in memory and it is now ending. This chapter was a beast and I've been over it again and again, trying to tweak it so you guys get the best I can give.

Next chapter is the biggest reveals to date and soon, we're headed back to Detrot for the final battle!

-Chessie

So. The chapter is headed to the editors. I had to kick this pathetic mess out the door just to get something in your hooves. It's reasonably written and funny, but it's also short and it only does a bit to advance the plot (not much). It gives some background on Iris Jade.

I wish to explain why, after three weeks, I managed barely 7000 words when I can usually push out 10k every two weeks.

Read More

Okay...explanation time.

Chessie has been sick. Like, super sick. First, a sore throat that developed into a cold, then a chest cold and fever, then a cough that wouldn't leave which has *now* become bronchitis.

Screw. Lungs. I want my robotic replacements now, please!

Read More

Well, this couldn't have possibly gone worse, now could it? The latest chapter is in the hooves of the editors, at last. You guys will really enjoy this one, I think. It's been awhile since we had some action, and this is my favorite kind of action! It's a little bloody, but...well, you guys got through The Temple of Nightmare Moon, the Massacre at the Library, the Attack on Sunny Day's School, and the Slaughter of the Nursemaid's Guild.

Read More

Well, the new chapter is being slightly delayed. If anyone knows anything about the Gdocs import feature, it seems to have somehow crapped the bed tonight. I'm sending a message to knighty and we'll see if anything happens.

Sorry guys, dunno what happened.

Read More

Well...I can't say I saw any of that coming. This chapter went so far off the rails of what I had planned that I'm now playing catch up and trying to keep anybody from getting killed. That may be impossible, but we'll see.

Read More

I swear, I didn't stuff myself down a dispose-all. December has just been kinda horrorshow. It'll be over soon and we'll see if the country's new leadership necessitates me skipping town or not.

Meanwhile, a new chapter of Starlight shall be in your hooves within three days.

Sorry for the wait my loves.

-Chessie

SQUEEEEE!!!!

There's an interview with yours truly related to the story and I'm more pleased than I've been in awhile! They INTERVIEWED me! Me! A simple, slightly obsessive writer!

If you want to know something about me or who I am, feel free to read the interview.
