So, if you've been keeping up with the blog, you'd know that I tried installing the Windows 10 Creator's Update, only for it to fail spectacularly, taking out most of my computer's functionality with it.

BUT NOW...

Many hours, two failed backups, a long and tedious manual backup, and a system reset using the original install media later...

I LIVE! LIIIVEEE, I TELL YOU!

Tomorrow, I'm gonna have to reinstall quite a few lost programs though...

This took a while. This is the weird chapter. I feel like having Rainbow Dash alone and dealing with stuff limited her in the dreamworld so I came up with a different idea there. Fun little sort of thing.

Hey guys, Takarashi282 here! And no, I'm not dead, just had a stupid writer's block in the middle of this stupid chapter.

So yeah, the good news is that I'm now caught up to what used to be Chapter 3... four chapters later. Which means that Chapter 8 will be out sooner rather than later, because it's technically already done! I just need to go over it and see if there are any plot holes I've accidentally created and whatnot.

Hi all. Not sure how many people read this. But I'm sure people will see it soon enough. As of right now, I just finished (I think) the 'clop' part of the story prologue. I did a word count and the clop alone is just over 4000, while the total word count is almost 9700. This has been a good workout for my brain. Once I got started, I just couldn't stop coming up with more stuff to add. The other day I caught an error that I had to fix. But it turned out well. I'm thinking I should be completely

This is a real shame. I have been doing my research and the Jim Henson Production and Netflix are looking to continue the story in other ways in the future but the series itself has indefinitely been called off.
This is a bummer. The Dark Crystal Age of Resistance was masterfully designed with traditional puppetry, innovative in story and world-building and made with love and care like no other in a while.

The first drafts of Winds of Wintercrest are complete. This story is quite different than what I'm used to writing.

One of my concerns is that this story gets brutal and bleak towards the end. So much so that it may warrant a mature rating. My aim was to keep it teen rated, but I just love how the climax plays out because how much it tears at Rarity.

I hope to have it out late next week or the following weekend. Fingers crossed!

I've been getting requests for my FiM anthology Lovely Darkness, so I'm making it available again. Please read the complex mess below if interested.

Hey guys, since I'm halfway finished with my fanfic "The Count's Bride," (should be able to finish it this month), I was considering maybe doing a fanfic trailer for it. No it's not gonna be a new audio drama, (even though I know some people want it to be, apparently) this is just gonna be for fun. Any thoughts????

P.S. about 4-5 chapters to go and then it'll be finished!!!!

I'm slowly piecing together ideas for Behind Him, Chapter 8, so I just wanted to let everyone know that I've finally started working on that chapter.

Go read it! The last chapter drops tomorrow.

I will now retreat back into writing assignments and horsewords.

Chapter 22: Magic training

Boulders? Why are there boulders in front of Twilight’s castle?

Should we really be surprised by Twilight’s strange choice in this universe??
