Okay, been actually waiting to do this one for a bit, ever since I read it actually.

Hey guys, work on the next Maud chapter is going pretty well. Hopefully, it'll be out before the end of the month. In the mean time, maybe check out my 'new' tumblr? I just posted a full essay on there, and it includes a good amount of ponies in it. I really hope you guys like it, and maybe reblog or share it with others? Any comments are also appreciated on it as well!
Edit/Update: The search by 'heat' doesn't treat story length in quite the same way as the Featured Box's full algorithm does, so the results are NOT entirely comparable. When I tested this initially, the Box had such a large proportion of Anon stories in it that any discrepancy in NON-ANON story results wasn't initially obvious.
Sorry!
Yeah you read the title right, I finally have some free time. As most of you maybe know I was back in college for the last few months; hence the reason so many things were backed up. But now I'm on Summer Break. With this SUmmer break comes plenty of things I need to catch up on. From more OC Profiles to more chapters on the Box to finally get ready for Journey to Hearth's Warming's unveiling in July. There is going to be plenty of stuff for me to do this summer and I need to get it done as
Yes I did change my avatar from Christmas to New Years on Boxing Day. I just can't wait for 2016 to be over.
After all. 2017 brings something to look forward to:

P.S Starlight Glimmer's chapter of Celestia's Students is out if you want to check it out.
Of course, I want every one of you up vote my stories! Seriously though, I've recently given some thought about those little thumbs up buttons and especially those insidious thumbs down buttons.
Is indifference really the opposite of love?
Is apathy truly what's left after a blaze of passion consumes everything? Cold is only the absence of heat. So, is this...crevice in my chest where a heart used to be, the ashes of my emotions? Is this the fabled chill of indifference?
Oh, turn some lights on and lighten up. I'm only half kidding. Nihilism is only a Debbie Downer when you want it to be. I'm sure Nietzsche would be somewhat proud, despite not being a Nihilist, himself.
So, this time I've got some alright ones, and some really alright ones. (I feel like I should be doing something up here, but I don't know what)

From gun allegations to junior paleontologists, this was a biggish week at CoffeeMinion HQ. Get a few updates on stuff after the break.

So, last week gave me a roller-coaster of difficult obstacles to overcome, and I rode it to victory, but...
I'M RUNNING DRY ON IDEAS!!! Particularly of the stories attached. That's why I'm reaching out to my audience to offer a chapter idea for any story attached to this post.
The Rules are fairly simple and to the point:
1. Has to obey FiMFiction.net's rules for story creation(as with all stories created on here!)
That's right, My Little Pony: The Movie made more money than what a lot of were expecting to make since people were predicting that it was going to make a dismal 7 million dollars when it made double that amount. And Blade Runner 2049 is barely at number 1 at the box office and it made a lot less money what a lot of people were saying that it was going to make. The vast majority of big name critics gave very good reviews to Blade Runner 2049 but it did not made into a blockbuster hit. Meanwhile
...you miss the feature box by this much.
(If I cared about success, this might actually be tragic.)
Alright alright all! Congrats on turning your work in on time! Job well done if I do say so myself! Let's not beat around the bush, I'm sure you all are wondering which team will be booted off the tournament! Well, believe me when I say it was a very, very close decision. But let's focus on the winners. I'll announce the first three teams that made it, so here we go!
The first team that made it to the next round is...
Hi everybody. It's after the fact, but oh well. I already said in the chapter that it ended up a surprise, but, yes, A Tale of Two Suns chapter 10, "Discovery", is now published.
And in other news.... I made the feature box! I'd gone back to the home page and there it was. I'm so surprised and excited and happy. I mean, I didn't think it was possible for a story to get to feature box this long after it had been published.
Let me point you to a special pony. yarnmouse is Cogwheelbrain's SO. She's written stories at Trotcon's speedfic panel and we've been trying to get her on here for years.
She's a feels writer and new to Fimfiction, so show her some love!
Now for other stuff.
Yet again I've posted a new chapter, yet again it has gotten to the feature box (very bottom this time), and yet again it was quickly kicked out... I counted this time. It stayed there for 5 minutes...
I honestly thing I'm only getting there via technicality. It's been around for so long, after all. It's very likely that it really isn't as good as any other decently written fic, or even close to being popular to warrent a spot.
