So, here we are, the blog entry about "My Little Pony: Guardians of Crystal Growth" that I promised four days ago!
I am going to talk a bit about the writing process, why I decided to write it and, most importantly, when I will continue it.

As many of you probably know, "Legends of Equestria" is starting its Limited Access Release (aka closed beta test) on Monday. This will lead to my output being a little slower than you're used to.
I won't fall into another unannounced hiatus, don't worry! This is why I'm writing this blog entry, to inform you what's going on. It won't be much slower either, just a little.
While I haven’t posted a Recommended Story Review set every month, I have been trying to do so, and this set brings me up to #15. This is starting to have an interesting consequence, though. Because these sets are composed entirely of stories that I enjoyed enough to recommend before I started doing reviews, the number of stories I can include in these sets shrinks every blog post.
A road trip so incredible it could only be done the same way people did them way back in the Middle Ages the 1970s. In a station wagon, with no cell phone or GPS. The only way it could've been more '70s retro was if there was simulated woodgrain paneling on my Volvo. The destination?
This one might or might not be short, just depends on how much I go on and on. So get yourself a drink and kick back
while we learn about a Ford Econoline with an P0720 code.
It's time for another Tempo Boost Story Poll on Patreon! Once more, you can vote for one of my currently incomplete multi-chapter stories, which then gets an extra update before the end of the month.
This will be an update in addition to the chapters I am already writing and releasing, completely chosen by you!
Here's how it works:
My Cutie Mark Crusaders got sent by the map! :D They really did! :D This is something I didn't see coming! I heard theories by others that they might get sent and I hoped for this to happen, but didn't really believe they would get sent by it..... But now they did! :D This adds further confirmation to it that they have great and epic futures ahead of them and will help protect Equestria eventually! :D
Last week's shuffle is all done. Enjoy.
This week, as our second ongoing multiparter, we've got one of the most (in)famous tragedies in pony fiction history: "Bittersweet." Prepare to be made unhappy, whether it's the way the story intends or not.
Yes. Hoodwinked: Pony Edition has truly returned with a brand new chapter at the center of everything. All the clues have been gathered together. Blueblood reveals details both hidden and in plain sight as he slowly reveals WHO THE TRUE SUSPECT REALLY?!
Between reading and reviewing entries for the latest writeoff, I managed to get another set of stories reviewed for you folks as well, mostly courtesy of the Royal Guard’s queue. I go into a fair bit of detail about prose in the review for To Drown a Butterfly, as well as talk a bit about meter in poetry in my review of Happy Hearts Warming, so there’s a few things which are a bit different in today’s reviews.
Today’s stories:
Among other things, the corona virus has also delayed the publication of fics that are ready for release already, for several months. Which means it is finally time to get these releases moving and so, I finally present to you my First Fic Release of 2020!
So, after a wonderful start into the year with visiting the best friend in all of the universes, a stressful Spring because of Russian Rocketman and a slightly less stressful, but still challenging, Summer resulting from consequences of the former, here are now finally my writing plans for 2022.
It's time for another Tempo Boost Story Poll on Patreon! Once more, you can vote for one of my currently incomplete multi-chapter stories, which then gets an extra update before the end of the month.
This will be an update in addition to the chapters I am already writing and releasing, completely chosen by you!
Here's how it works:
December and 2022 are over, January and 2023 are here, and this means, it is time for the second one of my Tempo Boost Story Polls on Patreon!
I'm sorry the poll is a little late this month, I am sick at the moment, but it needs to go live eventually, so it's voting time on my Patreon account!
I'm coming out of a few, tough weeks, as I have been affected by a certain case of cancel culture that has happened in the fandom. This month's Tempo Boost Story Poll happens late because of that, but the poll and the number of days to participate remains the same. I'll have to crunch to get the winning chapter out at the end of the month, but nothing changes for you if you vote.
My aforementioned tooth problems have delayed this a little, but here is now the new Tempo Boost Story Poll on my Patreon! Like in previous months, you can vote for one of my multi-chapter stories to receive an update before the month's end.
Here's how it works:
The Tempo Boost Story Poll makes a return! Last month's poll had to be sacrificed to health issues and this month's also has to happen a little late, but I spent my Patreon income for November, so I will of course deliver the poll and, if there are any votes, the chapter for the winning story. And, hey, at least the number is aligned with the month now! The Tempo Boost Story Polls are finally back on my Patreon
