Two princesses. Two thrones. Two ponies. What could go wrong?
Oh, right! This chapter is illustrated.

I've posted part 4 of Public Nightmares. Whilst the conflict between some very familiar characters is ramping up, the name of a very interesting as yet to be introduced character we be dropped. It isn't spoilery, so feel free to name drop in the comments. What do you think this portends? (Besides a side story...)
Not from writing, silly!
Retired from the day job. Last Friday. Can this be construed as meaning more writing and more chapters?
Yes! Expect me to post a lot more often. BTW, I posted chapter 29, today. Check it out.
Spike gets taken along because Twilight can't be in two places, yet. Starlight learns why the little guy is so useful. Mysteries also deepen despite everypony trying to solve what happened to Firefall.
Ch43 dropped. Starlight is figuring things out, but will she understand before it's too late? At least Sunburst and her will have a good night... or will they?
Ch 44 is the start of the End is Neigh (pony for nigh) arc of chapters. Starlight ought understand what's happening. She's had plenty of clues. Does she? How can she fight what she doesn't understand? As a reader, remember you have the history presented in the series so don't be too hard on our favorite reformed evil mare.
Yeah. It's a TWIST. You'll have to read the chapter to find out what, and it's a duesy.
Starlight and her herd are galloping to find where Thorax is being held. It's not the only secret she's about to uncover! Chapter 53 is available NOW.
First, the message from him, and proof that he blocked me after sending it. Ooh, we've got a real tough guy over here, eh?

By Dawn's Early Light Part I of two is published. Read it now! The time is approximately three years prior to The Canterlot Wedding. A somewhat more innocent Cadance is learning about love, but wants to clobber Starlight Glimmer because she hurt Shining Armor. Yes, she's protective of her coltfriend, but when Starlight mentions the Do-Nothing Prince, she reacts jealously.
Starlight doesn't realize her life is becoming more complex as she learns of a strange connection to one of her new companions.
I am aiming to release part III of this chapter Friday...
This chapter introduces a new character. You may have figured out that the novel is firmly in alternate universe territory. Starlight never becomes a princess in canon, nor is Twilight named crown princess, thought clearly she was one. There's a pony who went on to become
Another teaser? Yeah, because it's close but not there. Who dat?
Cover art preview by Syryupyyy.
Story serialization starts soon.
Meltdown Part 1 of two (ch18) has been published! Sunset Shimmer rescues Starlight from the full onslaught of school peer pressure, whisking her off to the little fillies room, of course, to give Starlight a good talking to. Because Sunset is going from MacGuffin to full-out major secondary character, I am switching out the Celestia tag for the Sunset Shimmer tag. I want to notify the
Meltdown Part 2 of three (ch19) has been published! Starlight is way too fragile today, it seems. Then she learns something shocking about Firefall. Twilight shows up, and while she demonstrates they have a lot in common, well... she is Twilight Sparkle, right?
I've finished the titles, and added sparkles because, well that's the trope for novels of this type. The cover art is by @SyrupyyyArt. To see the cover art, click the Read More button. It's just a matter of the proofreading of my rewrite of chapters 1 and 2 to complete before publication begins.
Great chapter title, right? Read chapter 38 to find out why. You know you're going to...
As Rarity would say, GAH! I posted the contents of chapter 49 instead of 47 at about 7:51 PM PDT. A big sorry! I discovered and posted the correct chapter 47 around 9:25 PM PDT. Do return and read the corrected chapter. If you were so unfortunate that, in your excitement to finally see a belated update (sorry about that, too), and found you had no context for what
You know what I like about Glimmer? Her first appearance. She was smart, charismatic, and good at suckering ponies into giving up what made them who they were so they could fit her shallow definitions of equal and good. She was a villain, a brilliant, twisted, incredibly despicable villain. She thought she was right, and she outlawed free thought to keep her ideological control on her ponies crushingly tight, and she didn't see what was wrong with that. And you could argue that maybe she is
Meltdown Part 3 of three (ch20) is ready to read, and it's a large installment. Couldn't break it up after you've been waiting such a long time! Starlight thinks she has gathered her scatter wits, even dealing with Sunset and Twilight being in the same classroom with a deft hoof. Then Sunburst trots in and doesn't recognize her...
