...and a Happy New Year to all of my loyal followers. Hope you guys are all doing good and enjoying the holidays.
My present to you is a long overdue update to my latest, greatest attempt at pony fanfiction: Wires. Read it here: (link)

So, while we are working on editing the chapters: Update there, we are working backwards starting with chapter 31, the last unedited chapter to be posted on the site. All chapters after are edited. So starting at chapter 31 backwards, we will be posting the chapters as they become edited.
That means that Chapter one will be the last to be updated so as to prevent a jarring experience of reading an edited chapter followed by an unedited chapter.
You ever go into your kitchen and look into the cupboards to find it full of foods, but you can't eat any of it since they all require cooking? Well, I'm feeling that right now with my writing.
I've finally seen the light my followers... I've finally learned the truth. For such a long time I've been thinking and thinking about this, questioning everything I know, everything that I've come to learn in my lifetime. For years, I thought one was the answer, when really, the answer was right in front of me... But now, I've finally embraced this fact. I've finally accepted this conversion...
Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great honor, that I admit that I...
Am a Pepsi guy.
I've lately been on and off with my writing, focusing on a few pages a time with not only TMS, but also with its bonus chapters and my upcoming story as well. I've also been having trouble with getting my usual SAI program where I draw my pictures working, so I had to download a new one (which I haven't gotten to try out yet) that I'm hoping to use soon for the new cover of "Unleash the Magic" and maybe others.
It's that time again! Here's what I got going so far for these upcoming chapters:
Unleash the Magic:
(2): Currently proofread and editing.
(3): ~55% finished on draft
The Model's Secretary:
(Ozzy and Shining Bonus Chapter): ~35-40% finished.
(41): Starting soon enough.
Dear Miss Cheerilee:
Currently don't feel like doing.
It's here! Enjoy!
Chapter 51 - Welcome to the Machine, Part 2

That's a wrap! As of today, September 6th, 2016, I will no longer be working on "Dear Friends". I have published the last two chapters of the fiction and I believe that with the last one wrapping up quite a bit, I believe there's enough backstory, and puzzle, for everyone to enjoy it. The last entry may be a bit graphic for more sensitive viewers, so keep that in mind! No, even though I planned a sequel while in the process of writing, there will not be any such thing. As for what the sequel
Sorry that I haven't updated my stories in a while.
School started again wich mean I'll have less time to work on stories.
But don't worry The Beginning of a New Adventure isn't ending yet.
I'm still going to work on it and expand its story. Just not until I have the time for it.
I hope you all understand this and I'm really sorry about the delays.
HAH, who has time for sleep when there's writing about ponies to do!?
OH DEAR GOD WHAT IS THAT THING??
Here night owls, have some new LOOTSOO! (Living with Twilight Sparkle is Weird for all you plebs.) Hope you enjoy it. It has a little vomit. And a baby.
SO! Good news bad news time.
GOOD NEWS
I have some time to pour into updating stories. I've been adding on to them little by little between work, and youtube, and Twitch but haven't really had a chance to just sit and work on them. Discovering Friendship should be updating soon and we'll FINALLY be getting the next chapter of BBO up and running. Also working on that RariAppleShy fic and a few other things.
BAD NEWS
Hello! Chapter 8 is done. Certainly didn't take me very long this time. To be completely serious for a moment here, I really hate how suicide is depicted in this story. Hate it! Suicide is something that needs to be done carefully and intelligently. Like rape, for example. It can't just be thrown in your story. And it isn't well handled in Darkness of Love at all. It seems to be JUST a plot device to keep Spike in Ponyville and to make him understand just how important Twilight is to him. And
I'll let the big-name people do the actual analyses of this episode. I'll just point things out and hope I get some discussion. It was fun for Griffonstone, hopefully it will be fun here, too.
Like world-building, for example. Not only did Griffons get another drop in the bucket for Best Species with their awesome tiger-striped and hawk-beaked delegate:
But we saw more pony designs, like this mare:
Hello boys and girls. Just posting this to give you some updates on what I'm doing. The first is that I'm working on "Elements" as we speak, however, the next chapter might be delayed a day. The reason for that is... well, it's due to my own laziness, and I'm terribly sorry. There is a lot of character interaction and changeling backstory I need to cover for the next chapter. I won't lie, though. I feel a little
The title says it all.
I wrote a little bit of it today, but I wasn't able to get into it's meaty parts with the cloppity clop, y'know?
I've had the tab for the next chapter of DoA open all day and yet the last time I clicked on it was the last time I wrote in it. At noon. Holy shit I suck at this.
(btw this is my writing drive, she can be mean sometimes)
BUT WRITING CAN BE SO HARD SOMETIMES!
How am I supposed to compete with that??

Okay, so I have the newest chapter finished. Unfortunately, I started writing the last of it on my iPad. I never imagined that the iPad safari web browser wouldn't allow me to import gdocs, so only the first four hundred words or so have the italics and bold marks written out so that Fimfiction recognizes them. The rest of the chapter won't come through as intended, so I'll have to wait until I can get to a computer proper to be able to copy it over.
I have a new plan for Assassinverse the Sentinel, if you want it.
I want to write a new Asssassinverse story, only this time, Twilight dies. Later, after her funeral, she lies still. A golden light appears, and speaks.
"Heroes...never die."
