The return of Pony Toys in a new format and an update on my pony videos in general.

Didn't see much in the way of editing. This chapter still feels a tad messy for me, so maybe I'll come back to it.
(EDIT)
Alright, there. Spruced up some descriptions and explained some more stuff. I'm in this middle ground of wanting to explain Taraskan protocol, and not wanting to bore most of you with ideas that you won't care about.

This is too short to publish as a story...but it's still awesome. Maybe I'll put it in a proper story if I ever gather enough drabbles to publish together...

Idol hooves is from Vdrake's story https://www.fimfiction.net/story/174129/the-changeling-of-the-guard, which is awesome btw.

Additional inspiration and help from Vdrake, and Well red, and Formsu over on Discord.

I'm on chapter 5 currently for editing. Ugh some of these chapters are just so...sloppy. Like some sentences are bland and disorganized, others make me wonder how they got past my editing. In my defense, I was still rather new at writing.

Got a bit of work done on the next chapter and I finished editing chapters two and three!

This dialogue was irritating because there's a ton of dialogue that has to happen at this time. I tried to break it up with a few brief moments of interactions between characters and backstory, but it still feels dull to me. This is also one of those ties where I wanted to hint at something, while secretly planning something else. There's still that worry of it coming across as bad writing, but owell.

AAAGGGHHH! I've never tried to describe people doing choreographed dances before. Describing the beat of a drum and fire twirling, I just...uuuggghhh. I already wrote everything in the chapter that isn't dance/music related and it feels like I just have this massive hurdle.

As I hinted in my previous blog post, I had a story kicking around in my head for Twilight Prime from For Want of a Horseshoe and the local version of Shining Armor giving each other grief. I hint at this encounter in FWoaH, and here it is.

I realized I misworded some of the depictions of where he is. It was crystal clear in my head , but this is how you learn hehe.

Chapter 37
There was like...several words missing in chapter 37. I was actually shocked how it happened without me every noticing.

Chapter 38
Made like...there was a brick of dialogue, split it in half. That was it haha!

So in this one, some of my chapters are formatted weird cause around this time, fimfic was having issues with uploading a doc from google docs and copypaste got weird too. Didn't see much that needed changing, but I spruced up the formatting.

I think I may have edited this chapter before. There wasn't much to fix except the usual and a few odd descriptions.

Honestly, if you're waiting for my edits to finish, don't bother. I'm just kind of nit-picking and looking for things to spruce up. I haven't found much, if anything, in the way of errors.

Agh chapter 46 is kicking my ass! There are so many friggin long convos! Don't get me wrong, they're all important, but uuuggghhh! I think that's been one of the main challenges with writing KOTD, is all the different emotions this novel has. A lot of it I REALLY have to be in the mood. Some chapters are me "venting" after having a nasty panic attack or just old memories from my PTSD.

Normally I would post the actual comic on this site, but it's 16 very big pages and as such I don't want to overcrowd it.

So in the latest -- and last -- chapter of The Cutie-Marky Tales (which I encourage others to read), CrowMagnon made a joke about there being a Cute Mark Cabal. More than likely it was just a throwaway joke for the initials, but it also seems like something that could be entertaining as part of a story.
