IN WHICH SNOW
Today was a cold day for many reasons. That's why y'all get some Kansas.
RIP Stan "The Man" Lee. Excelsior! Okay, now on with the show...

Okay, just want to announce the news that the first of perhaps several bonus chapters to my story Shattered Mirror is up. In it, we get insight to that universe's version of Sunset Shimmer and her charicter, and see her face the aftermath of Celestia's rampage and coming face to face with Solar Flare herself...
Look who took 6 months to post an update! Apologies to those who are waiting for chapter two and any subsequent chapters. I write spontaneously, which makes it hard to do multi-part stories in a reasonable amount of time. I feel I owe some sort of update to those waiting, I didn't expect much from the Good to be Bad stories and clearly I have a story to deliver.
I'll post my rating on it when I have some time, but in the meantime, some sad news:
It seems Nick Confalone tweeted that this was the final Equestria Girls special, which came as a surprise even to everyone on the DHX team, as well as there suddenly being no Season 2 finale or a Season 3 anymore. ::
As I just stated in my last blog post, the first two arcs of SAPR have been rewritten (in some places more extensively than others) and the second half of volume 1 is about to begin.
As the various different parts of the story are going up on AO3 as separate stories, this gave me the opportunity to commission more art, this time by the very talented Mayuki, whom I was fortunate to get a slot with before she became famous.
Not only has "Dandelion Wishes" entered the feature box, but the original, "It's Not Fine" has made it back for another round in the popular stories! Thank you all for the support! I truly do appreciate it.
So I had a rough holiday season. On the one part I completed the move and now have my set up, well set up. On the other hand, I had a job and I couldn't handle the work hours along with my collapsing social life.
Long story short, I shut down. Like, hard.
I made a mistake releasing the epilogue for Good to be Bad at like 3am or whenever I did it. It probably got buried in other updates, and by the time people actually read fics on here comes around, it'll be totally covered by stuff released at a logical time. Whoops.
I guess I'm stuck with it, but at least I learned a lesson. When I release the sequel I'll be sure to do it at a good time.

Working on that sequel for Good to be Bad and while I don't intend on it being much longer than the original, I'd love to hear some of your ideas for it. Do you want to see Susnet get caught? Do you want shipping? What do you want to see?

EQG: Sword Art Online - Aincrad's final kickoff episode just launched. Episode 4: Generosity. Updates will now happen on the scheduled weekly release, each Tuesday. Yes, that means that tomorrow, Tuesday the 17, you will get Episode 5: Glass Ceiling.
I had multiple chapters ready. The road is almost over for my currently running Sunset Shimmer story.
The road is almost at an end.
Let's get this bread.
(And by bread, I mean updates. Duh.)
These are some stories I'm working on. They may or may not see the light of day.
1. Ask Not The Sun-
A one shot, semi drabble that focuses on Celestia.
2.Shimmering Splendid-
A longer fic focusing on Sunset Shimmer. AU. No Mirror/Ignores EQG.
3. The Shine of His Scales-
A one-shot Spike fic.
Its December now, and I have just one for everyone:
Can we please just have some proper Christmas fics this year?
And when I say proper I mean proper.
No accusation fics, no Anon-A-Miss, no CMC or Humans Five bashing, no nothing!
Just Sunset Shimmer and her friends celebrating and enjoying Christmas.
Seriously, that shit is not canon, and I wish more people would accept that.
...an abundance of Sunset Shimmer fics making the rounds on the featured board and toping the popular stories list. Makes me almost want each month to correspond to a different pony. Then again, I suppose Cadence gets February by default.
Eh, I'm tired and rambling.
I'm not very big on shipping (outside of the comedically absurd like having an immortal princess of the night fall for a certain straw hatted pirate or just having Sanji with... everypony) but I do occasionally make exception especially when I read a well written story like Fractured Sunlight and everything just sort of clicks...
Or when the canon is just begging for it.
So, at my 500th party, I did a raffle and someone won a little art from me. The winner was twalaight sparkhul, and they requested some cuteness rather than some horrible sex. Well...I did it.
Here you go. Now say 'dawww' and we can all move on.
I prefer this version so very much. Instead of Twilight just singing a generic Disney Princess song, this version builds up the parallels between Sunset and Twilight and shows how both of them are feeling about how out of place they feel. While this is a subplot for Sunset that doesn't gel with the rest of the film, it serves to expand on the plot and characters and move them along better than the final version does, which is what all songs in a musical medium should do.
Thank you Nightfang123
Think we'll get another three second shot of ponies during the Super Bowl commercials? Incentive like that is almost enough to make me sit down to watch grown men play grabass for three hours.
If that's not your game, then click below for ponies falling dawn down.
