And most especially, because clones aren't people, an alien's appendage hovers over a switch that could amplify a virus' lethality inexpressible overnight, his quintessant mind / but feels bitter pity._

I am not a dead man, I am not a genetic duplicate, i am everything you wrote about, every trauma forced awake at once and you Andrew Hussie, are a fool. Say my name, say my age, and realize your most shameful philosophy rejects you again.

Chapter 9 of Second Contact is out, check it out here: You Just Got Shamalan'd!

Check out this short story by Airy Words that shows how First Contact between the Cosmic Lotus and the Stellar Federation may have happened. In a devastatingly bold move, the Equians gain a huge advantage by... well... you'll see if you go read First Contact Protocols.

I was watching Isaac Arthur's video on First Contact with an alien civilization video the other day. It really got my mind going about how a lot of first contact stories I've read here are rather unrealistic.

I've spent so much time whining about my own petty little problems over the last couple of days when there are people I care about with actual problems. I'm giong to try and stop. I promised myself that even though I've failed myself and dissappointed many people around me, I will do everything in my power to make sure no one else is left alone. It is a horrible feeling that no one else should have to experience. I know communication using PMs here isn't necessarily as smooth, but there are two

Well, here it is. After some deliberation, I thought to myself.

You can keep staring at this prologue to see if you can make it better but that would only delay the launch of this for another week.

So I just clicked submit.

The next chapter is going to have to wait for a bit because of some lore things I want to figure out first, anyway I hope you guys will enjoy!

Since I'm sure every one of you is being spammed with blog posts about Christmas I'll add my own to the list.

As you all know Helljumpers is one chapter from being completed and I've said multiple times that I didn't have anything new planned yet.

That just changed.

Although it's still very much in the planning stage I already have a thumbnail and a name.

Folks, I have the most sincere request...

If you send me a friend invitation on Steam, please contact me via hither or other means available to tell about that, as I don't add thither anypony I don't know/can't recognize.

Thanks!

For those who read the original version of chapter 4 today, just a heads-up that I've added a new scene to the chapter. Many readers mistook what was happening or were confused. Rather than letting people be confused and upset for a whole week, I've added an additional scene to the chapter that was meant for publication next week. Hopefully it will clear up any confusion. Sorry everypony!

So, a couple of things to get out of the way here...

There's a new chapter out for Second Contact, and you can check it out here.

As promised, there's a new POV in the story. Will it explain stuff? Maybe...

Hint: It's a first contact story featuring cultural relativism.

Oh, yeah, and Derp! Late posting for Sunday. Sorry. I got distracted.

I thought I'd give my take for the last episode of the season:

So, I've been toying with an idea of mine, in relation to my Titanfall 2 crossover, Shatterpoint. This idea came to me after a brainstorming session and it's intriguing to me.

What if the Militia arrival on Equis didn't go exactly as planned or as peaceful as both sides wanted?

I've been debating this for a while: whether to use Youtube videos through just links, or to embed the videos directly to the fic. I think I'll let you guys decide this one. The next chapter of Second Contact isn't going to be under edit for much longer, and is nearing completion. Votes will be counted from the comments section of both the story page and this blog post, and the winning decision will be made one week from now. Whichever one wins will be retroactively reflected throughout Second

So! Second Contact is going to be going under a huge edit. Nothing about the main storyline will be changed, but there will be stark differences when it comes to details and a couple of events; the overarching story will be the same as it has been.

For those that weren’t following closely, The GATE is completed. 797 views and 52 upvotes. If you haven’t upvoted, please do.

I’m still toying with an epilogue in order to leave open possibilities either for me or for the community to extend the story. It’s half done, but may also never be published so If you haven’t completed reading The GATE, now is a good time. The epilogue is unnecessary for complete enjoyment for all the threads, on both the human and pony, are complete.
