Okay, so yesterday I wrote the shocking conclusion to the two-part Diamond Tiara wedding special. But I forgot to publish it.

Anyway, published it now!

Infinity Shade asked to be bridesmaid, but by that point the bridesmaids had already been decided, so I've written her OC into a very special role in this new chapter.

Okay, so I haven't done a blog about this story yet, but anyway, here we go.

It's clop. If you don't like that, look away now.

That's right! These chapters have been in the making for quite a while (particularly 14) but they are finally done. Once the prereader has his input put in, they'll be out for the masses!

This is going to be big! These two chapters are the finale of the second act. Chapter 14 is the dinner between the Court of the Mouse King and Princess Twilight Sparkle that has been established in chapter 7.

Chapter 15? Well, I won't tell you much, just that chapter 15 will be revealing.

I had to cover this song. It's DT's ballad from "Crusaders of the Lost Mark"

Earlier today, I was thinking about Guard Tiara, and I've come to a decision. It's kind of a bad news, good news, more bad news kind of thing.

So let's talk about Diamond Tiara's redemption...in song! I mean, the songs from the show. I will not be singing.

I came up with an idea I've never seen around here before. Problem is, not only does it center on an OC, it also involves one of my least-favorite characters in the series. Of course, one of the points of the story will be to give that maligned character some hidden depths, and also to have the OC be original, and not just a bland author stand-in. So, who wants details? (And no, it has nothing to do with the content of my last blog post...)

The name of the story is Done With You, written by ShowShine. It's about Spoiled Rich being more abusive towards Diamond Tiara, which led Filthy Rich to file for divorce. He kicked her out of the house, his butler Randolph told him everything that happened, ordered him to hit her with a broom, he burned her stuff, and proceeded with the paperwork.

Although you all know of my hatred for the CMC, let's all rejoice friends! Come with me, and dance in celebratory bliss that the CMC have finally gotten their Cutie Marks!

The five years of pain and suffering are over! Now we never have to deal with those pesky boneheads anymore!!

But seriously though, the episode. Before starting, I was like,

"Okay,

Skyrim to pass the ads [X]
McDonald's Breakfast [X]

Okay, now that that's over, let's talk about the episode that broke the status quo of MLP. Well, I guess Twilight's Kingdom broke it too with all the DBZ fighting but whatevs.

Be honest, how many of you looked at that title and thought I was gonna talk about Fallout 4?

But yes, I'm talking about that fan fallout regarding the last five or so minutes of the S5 finale. And now that the fires have cooled down a bit, maybe it can be met with some thoughtful debate.

Well, I think it had been leading up to this all season to be honest, but I want to start with something from this episode that was blindsided by the climax.

Hello, Dear Reader.

Observe: I wrote a thing!
It's about this tiny horse jerk and her tiny horse problems:

Yes, as I mused in my last journal entry, I indeed entered EQD's More Most Dangerous Game Contest.

I'm entering the Season 9 Bingo contest. This is a curious fic-writing contest where everyone gets a different prompt consisting of five disparate elements which are deliberately quite hard to fit into the same fic. I had been looking for a contest to enter and this looked like an interesting one (with a relatively gentle deadline – the airdate of the first episode of Season 9). Sure enough, it's been fun.

Howdy, hi!

So I'm going to do a post mortem on Chained to the Plow as I do for my bigger stories, but for now...

I'm kind of thinking of a sequel for this story.

So, I don't like writing the Cutie Mark Crusaders... normally, but Apple Bloom kind of took my heart in this story.

So! Sequel thought because I want to write more about her.
