Hey everyone,

This week I'll have more chapters for The Lunar Chalice. I got a little busy, but things should be back on track starting with this week!

I am also planning on restarting work on more Techorse Short Stories! I won't spoil what the next one is about, but it'll be something interesting!

Trixie: "The Great and Powerful Trixie challenges you to a magical duel, Twilight Sparkle! Loser must leave the town: Forever!"

Shepherd: "Or else what?"

Trixie: "I'll burn this town to the ground!"

Shepherd: "Well, I think she's a clear and present danger." Pulls out his shotgun

Twilight: "SHEPHERD!"

Shepherd: "What?! I have rock salt rounds!"

Twilight: "This is a delicate situation... Let me duel her. I'll handle this, okay?"

Do you know what it's like to be alone? Completely alone? No family, no real friends, just your job to keep you occupied?

Gritt was in Junction Town on such a job. Today was his twentieth birthday, but no one but him could tell him so for the past eight years.

A cigarette served as my candle to blow out that morning. Happy Birthday to me. Time to go to work.

Sunny hates birds.
Newspapers hate Sunny. And for some reason, they have glue all over them. Either that or Sunny is slimy.
Sunny is part of the problem.
Sunny must have been living in a cave or a lighthouse for a long time to miss out on reality.
"Zipp track down those litterers!" - Zipp tracks down Sunny right away.

Hey, it’s been awhile since I’ve updated, so I wanted to let you all know: the story is not canceled. I haven’t had the time to update recently due to having to help my dog recover from a critical surgery, my job, and all around just not fun stuff.but I’ll be back. Hopefully soon. Until then, may the good blood guide your way.

I had an idea for a quick little story, and I just couldn't stretch it to a thousand words. As such, Dueling Keyboards has been updated with a little something fun.

IT'S THE WAFFLE STEALER! EVERYBODY RUUUUUUN!!!

....Still don't like Brad

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 ...

So, I haven't done one of these in a while. Today I'm promoting Short Stories. It a small 3 story collection of short stories from MLPmatthewl419, and for a first time writer, they are actually pretty impressive.

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.

Hey everyone...So, about that crossover with the other Displaced fic I mentioned.

Well, the author I'm doing a crossover with is taking a vacation. Which makes sense since it's the holidays, so I hope he gets some nice need rest!

So, In the meantime the next chapter will be on hold for whenever he comes back. All I can say is that I'm really looking forward to finishing it up and posting it for all of you to see!

There's going to be a new short story posted this week.

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!

Shepherd: "For the love of God, NEVER DO THAT AGAIN. EVER."

Pinkie: "Sorry!"
