Yeah, I hate to do this, everyone. I am working on the chapter, and progress has been made, but a certain medical condition of mine reared its ugly head and thoroughly ruined my ability to concentrate on writing earlier this week, and while I feel better now, it's also a very busy time at work, and I don't think I can concentrate on both this fanfic and my students at the same time. So, since people pay me to teach and not to write about adorable robot ponies, I'm afraid I'm

Hey folks, just letting you know that the next chapter of The Iron Horse is finished and is in the editing stage. Green's working on an illustration, too. All things considered, I'm aiming for a release either Sunday or Monday, if possible.

Also, another one of the older chapters has an illustration. Check below the break to see the first meeting between Turing Test and Maud from "Giggle at the Ghost in the Machine, Part 4!"

Remember how I'd previously said we were almost through this metaphorical dark tunnel and would soon see the light?

Well, put on those sunglasses.

And it's a long way forward, so trust in me,
I'll give them shelter, like you've done for me.
And I know I'm not alone, you'll be watching over us
Until you're gone...

Yeah, sorry about that folks. I've been dealing with my condition this week, and it's hard to write well when dealing with gut pain. Granted, work has been done, but not enough, and some of it had to be redone (and still might get scrapped). It's a very important chapter, so I want to make sure I get it right, and, like I always say, I'd rather release something late if it means getting it right.

Next chapter is a light little snippet from the night before they leave for the Hive, and I'd like to get the rest of the Hive arc out pretty soon after that.

The unedited version's up on Patreon for my early backers. (anypony who gives me $1 or more on there is gonna get the un-proofed chapters from now on)

Hallo, my dear friends. Hat Man regrets that this story is late... er, not "late" in that sense, of course. Please enjoy this tale of mortal folly and arcane missteps as it continues.

As of right now, I'm doing well. Hope that continues forward through the day, as today hasn't been too bad, aside from a few unsavory people at work.

If this is still featured tomorrow, it will have been up there for four days.

A mere week since last update?! What witchcraft is this?!

Nope, it's real, no witchcraft involved. And I've been waiting to drop this one for a long, long time...

Just letting you all know that the next chapter is done, and it's currently being edited and illustrated. It should be out in the next few days! I apologize for the small gap in the update schedule, but I wanted to give people a chance to catch up and also read BINARY, should they choose to do so.

Okay, just got a important notice I want to tell y'all. Some of you may have seen this already in certain chapters of some of my stories but I'm going on vacation with my family up to Georgia for a duel Lynyrd Skynyrd/Curt Towne Band concert (So pumped up for this!) and possibly up to Alabama as well to see my family so I may not be back online here till possibly Monday. So if any of you have any important questions you want to ask and can't wait to do so, better do it now

Hey folks!

Sorry I haven't updated anything on the site in ages. But that's going to change shortly. I presently have over 50k of unpublished pony words on my computer. Why? Because I have been terrible about actually FINISHING (or in some cases, polishing) some of them. But I've been writing; you just haven't been seeing them.

Yes indeed, the latest chapter is out and you can check it out right now! And for you longtime readers of The Iron Horse, get ready for this and the next chapter, in which you'll see Turing experiencing something like never before...

I think AnimatedJames needs to have a talk with someone about his goop fetish...

It's here! Enjoy!
