Hey guys, Spoiler here, with a super-early-morning EST post. Just wanted to poke in and let you guys know that we're kinda-sorta still around. In fact, we've taken notice of the fact that a certain figure of the community has been... let's say, "unceremoniously and indefinitely evicted from the premises", now. This will surely come as good news to some, and horrible news to others, but the fact of the matter is -- as you can tell -- one Flutterpony has been permabanned from

Writing "Great Ideas" has been quite the interesting experience.

As a writer, you typically plan out an entire story from beginning to end. Sometimes, you don't fully have the middle, but at the very least, you have a clear starting point and ending point.

Alternate titles: Pessimism, Paranoia — Didn’t choose either, preferring to name it, not after Silver’s problem, but rather the solution to it.

Before I begin discussing this chapter properly, I just wanna say I feel so bad for Silverstream. I put her through so much crap in this story, it’s not even funny.

Although coming out of a completely different thread, https://www.fimfiction.net/group/50/the-writers-group/thread/464939/how-would-you-reinvent-an-mlp-villain-for-a-darker-storyline this could arguably be called a vague "evil counterpart" to my earlier "Mane 6 at Full Power" blog.

Starlight is off to visit the frigate that showed up at the Canterlot air docks, to see if she can use it to protect Canterlot from the treat of the Golden Stag. Its antique decrepitude and its inexperienced and fractious crew may make that impossible. Starlight is willing to fight to make that happen, but doesn't realize that may mean literally fighting! I posted the first of five chapters,

Today's chapter, 69 of 71, is tellingly named The Runaway Bodyguard. Every success and every failure in Starlight's runaway career comes together with explosive results. She learns what evil is. She faces who she has become, so different than who she wanted to be, and must make choices nopony wants to have to make. No matter what she does, she will be responsible. The next

Well... season six, episode eight, A Hearth's Warming Tail, was a straight retelling of A Christmas Carol that, while pretty well executed (I love you, Luna), missed a HUGE opportunity to engage with the very real existence of people who are lonely or grieving over the holidays, have bad memories associated with Xmas, or otherwise have legitimate reasons not to join in with forced cheer.

I have another new story almost ready, and I'm not even participating in NaNoWriMo!

It's a sequel to Two of Swirls, so I've updated the last three paragraphs of the prequel to fix what new canon broke.

Okay, final of the early releases I got access to. Just wanted to get through them to avoid spoilers, like the ones I couldn’t evade completely during early releases in the past that I didn’t had access to.

These release schedules, man.

Anyway, another one I get to go in blind. Let’s do it!

So, it's been a few months since I've posted or really said anything here. How's it going? Hopefully you're doing well and life hasn't been too much of a booger. If it has, well, in the most general of ways I hope that you are able to see your way through whatever it is.

The latest post (today 8/2 at 3:40 PM PDT) is the 3rd installment of a large chapter composed of 4 parts. Part 4 should post this Friday. The full chapter could be titled, Starlight Goes a'Hunting. It introduces the anomalous Prince of Equestria, rooting him in the dark soil of canon and sprouting new surprisingly green leaves. Despite Ms. Glimmer's suspicion of friendship in general and
