On second thought, let me explain... · 5:27am Feb 3rd, 2016
I realize that my previous post wasn't very informative, so let me expand a bit.
I am not dead, slowly getting there, maybe, but not there yet.

A new band name has been added to the list on my userpage: "Warm Pendejo".
Below the cut, a stripped-down version of my Weekly Gaming Blog. TL;DR: I bought some games in the Mid-Year Sale on PSN, I haven't actually done any console gaming this week at all. Planning to change that this weekend, likely NOT Persona 5.
I finished Sunscarred, and got ready to wait for commissions. I mean, a bunch of people said they wanted to commission me, and I decided to lay out rules.
Aaaaaand
nothing.
Did I misread the situation...?
Anyway, I've been plugging away at some longer works. Hopefully they'll get updated soon. Pony or otherwise. It's really just wrapping up the final scene for a couple of them.
"Alright," Masterweaver said firmly. "I promised the fans we'd update Hc Svnt Equus Pinnis soon. Sometime this week. Now, you've had a fun time with the squids, but now it's time to get back to the ponies."
"Oh, alright." The muse turned to the cast, moving them around a bit. "This could go here, and she.... that's how she would act, right..."
Masterweaver nodded. "Good. Now keep working on that, I'll be back in a few minutes."
Weekly Reports have now been moved to my Tumblr. Because I do Tumblr now. It is going to be a much easier way of keeping everything managed. Having one central location for everything. Keeps me sane you know! Thanks for the understanding and here is the report:
So over this past week I've been doing some stuff over on AO3 which, yes, is going to get patreonize.
First of all, the next chapter of Light and Song finally came out, just in time for the RWBY V6 hype train. Yes, it's been a while, but now that I've gotten V1 of this volume gone through I can start working on more twists, turns, and master plans. There is a lot I could do with this concept. I have ideas.
So....
I have, um... been kind of busy.
Preparing a new project.
I did get another chapter of With Catlike Tread up though. And also a oneshot: What's in a laugh? Which has to deal with some aspects of last week's Zombieland Saga episode. You know the one. Or if you don't, well... seriously that anime is worth watching.
Okay so this is an experimental post for a potential weekly blog to make up for my lack of content for my stories, I mean seriously why does it take me so long to write new chapters.
Any ways to the post itself
Shadow and Bone is a short piece exploring the mindset of background monsters from RWBY. Maybe it'll get more chapters, maybe not. But it is the only non-loops thing I've been able to work on this week.
Well, this next week is the last week of the month. I will try to get something out on FiMfic, and other stuff as well...
I am just jampacked with things I need to do right now.
I tend to speed up production near the end of the month... because I'm stressing out over what to do in the beginning half.
Anyway, Harry Potter and the Red-Headed Alien Warrior has been updated, and everything is going hunky dory, yep.
I've been very quiet.
Because I've been working.
On something.
A webcomic, actually.
It will be out in the new year.
I'll let you know what it is when it happens.
BUT IN SILLIER NEWS! The Brunswick Blooper Reel is up, in case you're a RWBY fan recovering from "Alone In The Woods." And I'll be danged if I don't get at least one chapter of pony out before the year ends!
Okay, update number 3. Wow, a lots happened over the last week, so let's get this update started.
Firstly, I managed to get the remastered version of chapter 2 for 'fixing the balance' out before the end of last month as promised, and while the remastered chapter is still waiting for its own final edits from my proof-reader, 0_0. I doubt I'd be able to make as much progress with remastering without him, so I'm pretty grateful for his help.
...and all I have to report is something involving brains. That brings my total patreonized chapters up to five.
Sigh...
Once upon a time, I promised myself I would aim for six chapters a month. I do. I usually only get four, but I was SO CLOSE this month... so close. I guess some of my non-patreonized stuff could push me over, but... oh well.
This month has been productive for me though.
I may or may not get another chapter out of something tomorrow. I'll definitely be on the road for the rest of today, though.
But I said I'd be danged if I didn't get pony out, and wouldn't you know it, Flurry Heart stepped up to the plate. Yes, it's even more Rebellious Alicorn Teenager Shenanigans, just in time for Hearth's Warming. Just in time. Everybody agrees.
Because I felt like doing this analysis, I randomly went through all of the stories submitted on the site for the last week and did a tabulation of the numbers for various pertinent categories of stories; they have been recorded here for the sake of posterity.
The FIMFiction story numbers were taken for the week prior to 5-20-2014 at 3:00 am Pacific time. There were 550 stories in the sample.

A Scratch On Shining Armor: A new chapter released on Saturday, as is the norm now. I was really having trouble with it, as I ran into some writer's block for the majority of the week. I wrote the bulk of it last sunday and just finished it in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Shout out to my editor, Shrink Laureate for being da real MVP and editing it before I published it. He's insanely talented and easily one of the reasons this story hasn't gone off the rails yet. Please give him
That's right.
Nothing on AO3, nothing here.
Well... that's not entirely true. It would be more accurate to say I have put in a lot of prep-work for various updates and fully intend to release at least one chapter both here and on AO3 in the upcoming weeks, as well as put a lot of effort into my parts of the Infinite Loops (which will NEVER, EVER be patreonized due to being a massive collaboration and not solely my own work).
"Hello there!" Masterweaver said, sweeping into the room grandeously. "We've got a lot of work to do!"
"Uhuh."
"Like, a lot. We need to put out some pony, but that should be easy enough. And there are a few other things we should get cracking on as well, a few large projects with lots of fans."
The woman at the desk nodded vaguely. "Yeah, sure."
That's right, this month was pure pony.
Well, half-pony.
Well, half-pony and a referece.
The eight-chapter story I'm calling P14 for shorthand came to me out of almost nowhere and has consumed my every day this last week. And now it is done. So if you want to read that, you can!
