The Titan's Orb: Breaking Dawn - Release Date! · 11:22pm Mar 5th, 2020

Good morrow, fillies and gentlecolts!
Callum here!

I'm going to make this a quick blog, so here goes.
My partner and I have been working our socks off towards a Spouse Visa so we can live together in the UK; this has taken up the majority of my time, so The Titans' Orb has been on the backburner.
We're still sorting out the visa process, which requires jumping through many hoops, and spending a little over £4,000!
Ouch.

We Need An Episode Like Lullaby For A Princess · 12:24am Nov 13th, 2015

Thinking about that animation and song made me realized just how great it would be if we had an episode that touched upon how Celestia felt when she had to banish her own sister to the moon. In case any of you that might be reading this has not seen Lullaby For A Princess (as unlikely as that is) you need to see it. You don't have to be caught up on the show or anything to understand it, so there are few reasons not to. I think it would be amazing if the show showed how Celestia dealt with

A hard question for ALL my readers · 8:41pm Oct 30th, 2019

Okay, guys. I have a serious question to ask all of you. Are you enjoying A Tale of Two Suns Book 2? And more importantly: Do you want me to continue?

I know people have favorited it, and liked it, but here’s the thing: I published the latest chapter more than a month ago, and on the day that I published it, the response I got was lukewarm at best.

The Valentines Project · 11:41pm Feb 4th, 2016

It's been quite a while hasn't it? I'll admit I never thought I'd be saying this once more, but I feel as though you all deserve to know what's going on. As you all now, I've been contemplating leaving the writing game on FimFiction to focus more on my personal projects. Well, that's still true, however, I have had a change of heart recently. I''' still be writing stories for FimFiction, however, they'll come out longer from one another than usual since I still want to work on my own stuff. So

Message To My Followers · 9:30pm Jan 23rd, 2016

I'm amazed... Simply amazed that we've made it this far. 199 followers, we're just one guy or gal from making 200 followers. That's just... It's amazing to think about. Knowing that almost 200 people really care about what I produce is... It's a blessing, and I thank God for giving me the ability to draw all of you in with my creativity. But I have to ask you, all of you. Are you all willing to support me if and when I quit writing MLP fiction and move on to original fiction? Will you all still
