Right, quick update before I dart off to the conference again for more writing goodness, but I had a brief strike of inspiration yesterday following a panel on—of all things—disease and epidemics. Specifically, there were some laughs surrounding some outright hand-waves concerning a type of disease fiction. This led me to quip a joke to my buddies, which in turn led me to ...

I've posted a new Dueling Keyboards short, a sort of follow-up to yesterday's episode. It offers rather silly answers to several questions, including a few you probably haven't asked.

Dueling Keyboards, my especially short story collection, has updated with everyone's favorite spy couple. In this case, Lyra isn't a member of the ETSAB. No, she's a versebreaker. Bonbon's still a monster hunter, though.

I have a Mother's Day story planned that should be going up tomorrow... hopefully. Visiting my grandmother, so we'll see how that pans out.

However, I also have more concrete news: Estee's latest blog inspired a new Dueling Keyboards entry.

She had cried herself to sleep.

Not going to give any spoils, but there will be dragons!

*Cracks knuckles in preparation for writing*
Do you need me to fix your fingers?!
"No, Pinkie. 'Cracking fknuckles' isn't breaking then in any way."
I'll get some tape. Maybe glue!
"Pinkie, where are you going?"
*Sounds of rustling items in a drawer*
Got it!
"Wha--"
DUCK TAPE.
"Wait, no, NOO--"
*Muffled screams*

I wrote this for a thread. Brief darkness after the cut.

Back in the human archives, Shepherd is once again going around and checking vaults. Twilight Sparkle is trotting alongside him.

Twilight: "Okay... So that ghost was a bit troublesome. But that doesn't mean every human artifact is going to be trouble! That's statistically improbable!"

Shepherd: "I don't know why, but being human might just throw it all off."

After Twilight and Shepherd get their heartbeats to a normal rate...

Pinkie: "So wait, ponies and humans have mixed DNA? Hmmm! I guess that might explain why we went from this," suddenly resembles a G1 pony, "to this!" Resembles a G3 Pony "And finally this!" Back to normal!

Just toying with some ideas. For some reason, I love the idea of Nope running errands for Sunset's Isekai when she grows up.

Maybe I should've just posted this in the story? I never know what to do with things like these

The large demon gave her a big grin. "Is that so, princess?"

My commentary:
Is running even allowed by Hitch's own standards?
How can the glasses stay on without being anchored behind his ears?
The hooks of the glasses seemed to have existed so why did he cut them away?
Did somepony eat too much and threw up in the middle of the street? Why is Hitch touching excrements?
Rabbits with horns? I knew rabbits were kinky, but I had no idea...

Never before has one of my stories become this loved or this popular, well aside from my TheRussianBadger story, but that was a shitpost, so it doesn't really count. I am honestly proud of what I have made and I thank you all for supporting my story. I will be taking a short break to let my burn out simmer down so I can ensure I am at peak efficiency. So do not worry comrades, I shall return. Once again, thank you all, and glory to the union.
