Simple reason is that my final pre-reader who proofs for grammar and style hasn't gotten through even one of the chapters yet. He's a good guy though so I know he'll pull through.

In the meantime, I've been using the lull in PC:TCQ to not... well unfortunately not to write the next chapter. I want to actually get the three chapters finished before I start writing the final endgame stuff.

First on the agenda.

Prepare for trouble! - Make it double!

To protect myself from angry readers - To Unite all fans of Alternia's changeling nation

To denounce the evil of stories without an end - To extend our reach to the ratings above!

By the grace of God and some skipped readings, I have managed to get Chapter 23 done! All is left is some of chapter 24 and the triple update can be sent off to the pre-readers! Unfortunately they seem to be rather slow at the moment...

Thanks to my editor Zervziel who has been helping me knock through the chapters plot points pretty much as soon as I ask him.

Looks like I forgot to tag my blog post to the story, so I'm re-posting my last blog, with some updates.

Basically, I got the next chapter (22) done and finished and sent to editors. They have yet to get back, but I'm hopeful. However, I'm not publishing the chapter yet even when it gets corrected.

Why? Because I'm doing another triple update for the following reasons that I stated in my last blog:

Recently, my good friend and author extraordinaire Cerulean Voice took the time to review the entirety of Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and give me some feedback.

Here is the link for the review , but I'll also explain what I got from it here.

It really makes me smile to read the comments on Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen and especially see that so many readers not only are emotionally attached to my work, but take the time to respond and debate about it. So I'll try to explain exactly what was MY stance writing this arc and the rather intense debate that culminated in the final reconciliation between Chrysalis, Lamia and Cyndra.

I have a couple of ideas that I really wouldn't mind writing if I had more time and ideas for after their main story. I do have one idea though that I'm really really interested in doing after Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen. That is:

1. Princess Celestia's Interdimensional tea Parties

Some of you may know that I've planned to resolve the whole Cyndra arc in one slew of updates. Well I'm pleased to tell you all that on Saturday (well... more like 2am Sunday) after burning the midnight oil and totalling my sleep cycle, I put the last words to Chapter 21, part of the three chapter update that will go out for Princess Celestia The Changeling Queen when...

My ridiculous amount of pre-readers finally get to it. :P

Woah... I've never done a rating celebration post... never thought it was worth the time for a blog post... but seriously...

I'm not dead. I'm still tapping away at projects. As some of you may have noticed, I published a new double chapter of my collab story Of Swords and Hearts. So yes I'm still writing... but you may be asking... why have I not updated Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen?

Well I also have been working on another Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen side story, but the main reason for why I have not updated... can be summed up in two statements

1. The time is not right.

On the last day of Bronycan, I really only attended one panel. Nicole Olver's "Dear Princess Celestia." Of all my bronycan blog posts, I've only tagged my readers for Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen on this one... because I know you'd all be interested.

But first, what I did after I went to that panel... so you don't just bore out before I get there.

A few weeks ago, after realizing how... isolated most of the users of fimfiction are and how little interaction one has unless one joins a Skype group, I tried to encourage some conversation with this blog post

Let's Discuss Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen And Have Fun While Doing So

You know it's actually really difficult to connect with people online... Thanks to Knighty axing the group notifications... Not that I blame him, they were getting pretty annoying at times so he did have reason.

Well the good news. I've gotten off my butt and started writing the next chapter for Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen. Also, Comet Burst has begun to refocus his attention on Of Swords and Hearts chapter 2.

The bad news... the new chapter ideas are proving more complex than usual. I have two options.

"vren55! Why have you not updated yet? I know you're currently in Hong Kong for the month until end of June, but the readers are probably going to riot... Are you alright?" asked Alternia her tone turning into that of concern.

vren55 groaned from the coach he was sprawled out on. "Now I remember why I miss censored for privacy. Hong Kong water sucks and aircon air is a pain."

Hello all,

One of the secrets to a successful story is a good coverart, and a good coverart needs a good coverartist. Personally, I prefer vector coverart, and one of the best artist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing is the talented Angelea Phoenix! Whether you want coverart commissions or just like to look at vectored pony drawings, she's your girl for them all.

Seriously, just LOOK AT THESE PIECES. They're BEAUTIFUL.

First off, updates.

For those wanting me to continue on Princess Celestia: The CHangeling Queen. I am hammering away at it, though I have one rather big, complicated and important scene to write (which i'm slightly roadblocked on, but by no means is this story on hiatus) and need to incorporate before the chapter is finished. Fun thing though is that the chapter will be quite long and generally exciting with plenty of crap hitting a spinning wind generator.

Well Exams are finally over and I can finally share a bit of what I have planned for you loyal and great followers over the summer.

Starting off, I'm going to restart my featured stories review. There are a LOT of stories in my favs folder that I have yet to review/recommend and I would really like to share them. Reviews will also attempt to highlight what in my opinion the author did right and what the author did wrong, and suggest lessons you can learn from them

So I've been taking my break from Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen while writing my exams, but I'm almost reaching the midpoint... where there is a short lull. Therefore I have some time to explain to you what I've been actually working on as I take the break as well as the progress on the stories.

Seriously, what makes people want to give me fanart? I already got one of Alternia! This is getting ridiculous and I seriously don't deserve this!

But anyhow. I woke up this morning to check my PMs... and I found a absolutely lovely piece of fanart done by
Stormwatch.
