What everyone else is thinking: I really hope Twilight can stop Starlight Glimmer, so that she can stop these dystopian futures!
What I'm thinking:
MY BABY IS BACK!!!!
I'M SO PROUD!!!!!
LOOK AT HOW REGAL HE IS!!!!!!
HE'S SO ADORABLE!!!!!!
..... there is a problem with my multi-chapter fic for Tempest Shadow now.
When I saw the movie in October, I quickly developed a few theories about Tempest Shadow, based on some observations from the movie. One was that Tempest Shadow already came to the Storm King when she was still a filly, that the Storm King raised her and trained her to become the super soldier of his army, because he saw the potential in her.
The graphics rotating around the image are Gallifreyan from Doctor Who. There's an awesome 'site that has a Gallifreyan language translator. You type in what you want it to say and it spits it out in this beautiful, circular language. I threw it into Photoshop behind the image and animated the rotation.
It's almost time. Just a few hours more and Chapter 5 of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" releases, at 10:00 PM EST! And to shorten the rest of the wait just a tiny bit, here is your final teaser for this month!
Fizzlepop Berrytwist still has a very important destination. And her new company might be able to tell her how to get there. Unfortunately, Fizzlepop doesn't receive the answer she has hoped for.....
.
Only one day left until the release of Chapter 4 of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" anymore!
You probably thought Teaser #3 wouldn't happen, as I had to pay tribute to sleep that consumed nearly my entire Friday after working on a chapter for "Letters to Cozy Glow" during a sleepless Thursday night and an equally sleepless Friday morning, but you were mistaken, for this story cannot live without teasers!
Today is Release Day for Chapter 4 of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World"! Only a little over 10 hours anymore until the story returns to its monthly updates, on every first Sunday of a new month!
When it looks the darkest, some help comes for Fizzlepop by an unexpected ally and she gains new energy to go on further:

And those of you who've been reading since before I joined this outfit know exactly who "he" is.
First of all, we wrapped up "Moonlight." Congrats on persevering there.
And this story is back in the game! After a long time of waiting and trouble with the plot, "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" returns today!
From now on, there will be monthly updates, always on the first Sunday of each month!
And in this first chapter, titled "The Outside World", you will finally see how Fizzlepop reacts to being away from home for the first time in her life. What will she discover and where will she land? Find it all out here:
The wait is over, here we are with Teaser #2 for Chapter 4 of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World"!
We are only three days away from the release of this chapter and the return of the story with monthly updates!
In today's teaser, Fizzlepop recaps the adventures she had so far and thinks about her situation. What conclusion will she come to? Join Fizzlepop in her thoughts with the second teaser below!

After a long, forced break, "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" will return to updating soon, as mentioned here in my blog entry about my plans for the first half of 2021. Here are all the infos about the return for those who are still interested in the story:

Every month, after the release of a new chapter of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World", I write a little reminder for the chapter's release, to boost the attention for the story and get it more views. And today it's time for this, so here is your reminder for Chapter 5, titled "Comfort":
.
A month has passed since the return of the story and Chapter 4 and now it is time for Chapter 5, "Comfort", to release!
Chapter 5 of "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" will be released a week from today and that means it's time for Teaser #2!
In today's teaser, Fizzlepop learns something about her mysterious rescue from the pony who saved her:
"A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" returns in two days, this time for good and with a reliable, monthly update schedule! You can read the details about its return below!
.
.
And here we are, this story baby is finally back on track! This time for good, "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" will continue with monthly updates and a new chapter on the first Sunday of every month now!
Chapter 1 has gotten a rewrite since its initial release in August; it's almost 1,000 words longer, the old scenes are expanded, there are a few new scenes and many boring sentences have been replaced with more creative, more exciting and more innovative sentences!
A month has passed since the return of the story and Chapter 4 and now it is time for Chapter 5, "Comfort", to release!
In the previous chapter, Fizzlepop's exploration of the outside world experienced an abrupt, and painful, interruption. But not all is lost and Fizzlepop finds rescue by the hooves of a mysterious pony..... Who is this pony? Where is Fizzlepop now? And how far away is she from her chosen destination, her cloud paradise in the sky?
What "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" needs the most is more advertisement and more awareness that it exists. From now on, I'll make monthly reminders for each new chapter in the week after release for those who might not have noticed it, as part of a strategy to promote the story and get it the attention it deserves.
So, here is a reminder for the release of Chapter 4, "A World That Wants Her Dead":
.
Like the title says, "A Storm on the Horizon of the Arcane World" will return again on February 7th, with monthly chapter releases. I have begun working on Chapter 4 today, which was easier than I thought, as I discovered that a good part of it is already written. Something that I didn't remember anymore, I thought I will begin with a new chapter, so that was a pleasant surprise.
Only two days more until the release of Chapter 5! And to sweeten the wait and hype up the release, I'll release the third teaser today!
Even with the adventures she has already been through, so far, Fizzlepop is still a filly with filly interests. It's nice to get a reminder for this and, perhaps, Fizzlepop needs a reminder on that herself:
.
Can you imagine how it would feel to be exposed to a world that wants you dead? Fizzlepop Berrytwist can. And not only can she imagine that, she experiences it. It's Fizzlepop's fourth day alone in the outside world since she left her village as a shunned outcast; a weak, worthless unicorn with a broken horn and dysfunctional magic..... Will she survive? Can she survive, in a world she doesn't know, filled with things that are strange to her?
