CEOKasen has decided to step down as co-author and editor of Starlight Over Detrot.

Honestly, I'm pretty wrecked by this, but I understand why. If you've noticed in recent months that the release cycle has gotten a little more sporadic, that's largely because Kasen has been going through some rough times. He's been a great editor and his contributions as the voice of the Scholar can't be understated.

I swear, year after year, Mech just gets better and better. He's presently one of the all time great pony artists and his work is persistently gorgeous.

Edina, our dear sweet little psycho, got her own treatment this week! Some of the finest art I've seen to date.

I wanna lay down a thing, since I hate deleting people's comments and I feel like a real jerk every time I do.

I hate Christmas. Seriously, if I never hear Jingle Bells again, it's too soon.

It's followed by New Years, which I will spend too drunk to care, and then by the day after New Years which I will spend too hung over to care.

At present, Chapter 64 is finished, but Chapter 65 stands at around 3000 words. I am moving SLOW. Seriously slow. The winter is doing bad things to my brain.

Added on top of that, Kasen is having a seriously rough time.

I know anthro art gets a bum rap in the pony fandom, but DCL is such an amazing artist!

He created this picture for me and I gotta say, if you guys want to ask him for commissions, he WILL get you your money worth.

It should be kept in mind, he's frequently porny, but he can do more reserved stuff on request. His Tumblr is NSFW.

Hey guys. Okay, so...here's the thing.

My father's in hospital. He's had heart surgery and he's trying to recover, but right now we're trying to find him this rare, expensive drug called Nplate and NOBODY nearby seems to have a supply. My dad's a kind of a funny guy. He's a monk, if you can believe it. A Buddhist monk.

Anyway, Kasen's been having massive moving upheaval and has been spending a considerable amount of time at my place...BUT...I've been sick. So has my partner.

Alright. Chapter 56 will be out soon.

I like my teen rating. I like having it. It's a great rating to have. It means more readers.

Chapter 56 is...how you say...violent.

God, I just get the brand new, gorgeous picture of Swift from DLCzexon, and now...This?!

Seriously guys, you are amazing. Mech, I realize you called this a 'doodle'...that is not a doodle. That made everyone I showed it to want to hug the picture.

Thank you. Thank you, from the bottom of my little feline heart.

-Chessie

Whew! DCLzexon, one of our readers, posted a few pictures some days ago of anthro versions of each of the main cast.

I was, needless to say, impressed.

I commissioned him for a new picture, just for a laugh, and MERCY did he deliver.

-Chessie

Major Kudos to this guy. Just...he's really managed to capture the characters along with the crazy anime style. Brilliant!

Two brand new pictures this week, from one of our newest readers, dclzexon!

This is the first anthro art we've recieved and it really nails the characters beautifully! Granted, for those Swiftosexuals out there, this is going to make things even more confused!

-Chessie

Whew, three whole weeks of madness!

Well, firstly, Kasen and I were having a tough time of it. Last chapter was a right beast to write, so it took a big chunk of our emotional energies to edit. The next chapter is proving a little easier (I.E., it's already written). I just wanted to update you and let you know we aren't actually dead, going on hiatus, being eaten by bears, or in prison.

Kasen's having a tough couple of days here, so we're going to do a short break. The chapter is finished, but we're going to clear up some additional editing. He and Coandco are magicians where fixing up the heaping mess I dump on them every two weeks is concerned, so now and then I expect they'll both need time off.

Still! We are drilling away and the chapter should release on two-three days.

In the meantime, I laughed way more than is probably necessary at this:

Your author has spent a couple of days...well, I spent the last six days at work. I got BARELY any writing done because after the first three days my emotional energies were at an all time low. We've got the next chapter ready, so you guys WILL get to find out what happens between Taxi and her father sooner, rather than later. It's just gonna be one of those things getting it to you.

Microbses. Tiny fuckin' microbses. All replicating and shit. I hope you get bitch-slapped by a macrophage, you proteinacious little bastards.

Apologies for the delay, but I've been feverish and headachy, most likely thanks to being handed an infected Android:Netrunner card. Apparently "Agenda: Biological Warfare" is scoreable from your hand. And if you get that, we should play over OCTGN sometime.

Our dear, fantastic artist, Piecee01 has done something amazing for Starlight. Just brilliant!

I woke up today feeling like writing was just too much like hard work. You know the kinds of days. Everybody has them. You plop down at the computer, put your hooves on the keyboard, then slump forward and snore.

I was half-way to the 'snore' phase when I saw THESE!

Heyro everypony! We've got some new art for you from two of our readers! First, up, there's Piecee01 who brought us a piece from the last chapter.

Saucy, Taxi, and Hardy! He really captured those expressions. Hardy is definitely wearing his 'stabby' face.

Next up, four solid pieces from our very own Agent Contrast!

It is an exciting time! Not only does the upcoming chapter promise to be exceptionally twisted even by Detrot standards, but we've got a new cover, by the amazing MisterMech!

Now with even more old-timey goodness and 100% of the daily recommended allowance of Limerence.

BASK IN ITS GLORY

--CEO Kasen

Alright, I have got a new chapter and I need opinions.

I'm considering a perspective switch for just one chapter. It would pretty much be dropping into third person for this chapter while Hardy describes a certain event in his distant past. It might also take up the entire chapter.

How would you guys feel about such a thing?

This last chapter seems to have gotten MUCH less attention than the last five or six. Did this one just not show up in people's updates? Or was it a bad chapter and I should be doing more re-writes?

Haaaalp! Comments are the great, eternal fuel! They are the cheese under which every creation slumbers like tasty, tasty pizza!
