Hey ya'll. It's been, what, over half a year since Magicles has updated? Seems like as good a time as any let everyone know what's happening. Don't worry, nothing's getting cancelled. I've been writing up a storm recently. As much I would like to make promises like, "the story will update on this day, at this time" or "expect the story to be finished by this other time" I've realized by now that I can't make claims like that. I have enough deadlines in my life, I don't need to give myself even

Saw this image of "fantasy winter" and thought that'd be a cool thing to use as a placeholder for that Hearthwarming Eve tale that might read like something out of Conan the Barbarian.

Also its 5am. I need to sleep a bit.

I always hate writing stories. Not for the story content no. That is always the fun and enjoyable and easy part.

Okay, so I've finally finished NCIS on Netflix (Damn cliffhanger on the season 12 finale...) but that means I now have to find two new good length shows to watch. I've already tried the first two episodes of White Collar and so far so good, and I'm thinking about taking a stab at Supernatural if only to see Mark Sheppard in it. Loved his roles on Leverage and in the Doctor Who episodes The Impossible Astronaut/Day of the Moon. Anyone think watching these two are a good idea?

So, I've been hinting at this already, but I HAVE been working on a chapter for "Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children". It's been taking quite a while, due to a lot of procrastinating on my part.

Cut a part of what I was planning for this chapter since it felt complete even without it.

So I wasn't planning on releasing it today, but hey, it's like been an extra week without a release of the chapter and it's nearly 13k words. so either I release it now and enjoy part of my weekend, or later and release it on Monday.

I chose today.

Hope you think it's decent cause I'm running with these plot threads as far as I can.

Alright, I don't want to keep you guys in suspense, so I'll just come right out and say it.

The chapter is FINALLY finished. Spend all of today writing on it, and it will be one of the bigger chapters of the stories. So that's great!

So for the past few months a friend and I have been planning a rather lengthy story series. It is a mix of completely original characters and ideas mixed with some community favorites. It follows the story of a mare, Spotlight (yes she is the one I have plastered all over my profile) and her contribution to Equestira's history.

A little something for all of you today! (Even if the links are a little dusty from their time in storage.)

If you want to see my deranged ideas:

Horizon is an evil genius — in which Themaskedferret shares the drink menu from the author party at Babscon, along with the drink descriptions that I wrote to go with the bad-writing-trope names.

For a while now, I have been establishing, both in my actual stories and in my head for future stories, a multiverse. So I thought, for future reference (and this is important) that I would establish which "Equestria" each story or stories are in. I will have the actually dimension, and then which stories that take place in it follow.

As a fellow author, you know that there are many things that can prevent you from starting a new project, let alone completing it. There are many ways to organize your thoughts and to prepare to write. Often it's a balance between procrastination and preparedness. What I am sharing today is what works for me, and it's a simple suggestion: Know how the story ends.

Yep. That's it.

IN WHICH I INCH CLOSER TO MY GOALS
But before I get into that, my now-standard music upload. What today? Laura Brehm. This track just dropped.

Won't lie; I was planning on more Perfume or Laura's "Déjà Vu", but I had to promote the new. Anyway…

Alright, lets get this started. It felt weird this week, not having to edit gibberish of an out of touch writer. I managed to edit some stuff from someone who was actually competent. Coincidentally both were my own, so that's always interesting. Spoiler: This contains spoilers. Spoiler. Spoiler. Spoiler warning!

I know it has been a while since I lost updated, but I have been writing chapter 4, and then once I finished I find I hate it, so I delete it and start again. I have done this over 5-7 times now. So sorry about that.

Well, it only took me just short of 7 years, but yes I finally finished this damn story. It took me so long to finish the thing that I honestly doubt there's anyone left to read this blog, but damn it all I'm happy to have this thing done and there's a lot I want to say about it even if I'm just talking into the void.

My story, that I worked on on my other account, rainbowspirals, has now been completed! A sad story filled with tragedy and a tad bit of romantic gist towards the end is now completely finished.

Story after the break, as well as new story teaser~!

That's a wrap! As of today, September 6th, 2016, I will no longer be working on "Dear Friends". I have published the last two chapters of the fiction and I believe that with the last one wrapping up quite a bit, I believe there's enough backstory, and puzzle, for everyone to enjoy it. The last entry may be a bit graphic for more sensitive viewers, so keep that in mind! No, even though I planned a sequel while in the process of writing, there will not be any such thing. As for what the sequel
