I finished the Shattered Rainbow side of the next scene, now to write out the Equestrian Human side of things.
And this may or may not be only the first encounter that the two stories may have with each other...

The latest chapters in both stories are different perspectives of the same scene. Enjoy!
Yes, the temporary art I had commissioned will finally be replaced pretty soon.
My sister and I have been working on the new art, with her sketching the library of Gadget and me tracing over the scanned image digitally and (trying) to color and shade the thing in.
The only setback right now is that in having quite a bit of trouble getting her shoes to look correct, and my sister insists on an eye style that to me looks a bit out of place on Gadget.
Hundreds of views, and dislikes, too.
I have no idea what’s going on with that story.
I’d might as well bring a darker side to the series, so why not?
Wrote >2000 words today within the equivalent of an hour or so in preparation for the crazy story collision between Shattered Rainbow and Equstrian Human.
~800 words for Shattered Rainbow,
~1400 words for Equestrian Human.
Why? First of all, a large bulk of the word count consists of dialogue, while the rest in Shattered Rainbow is meant for setting up the scene for the next bit of aforementioned dialogue.
I’m just gonna go ahead and call the sequel to Space Horse “Equestrian Human”, ‘cause it still sticks pretty close to the naming scheme, without sounding too awkward.
I'm updating again.
Starting with Equestrian Human!
Just because there hasn't been chapter updates doesn't mean that it's not progressing.
I'm currently doing some catch-up in Shattered Rainbow to get that and the main series back in sync as far as time goes, and I currently have ~300 words written for the next yet-to-be-published chapter. Once that's done, I'll get back to Equestrian Human and tie things up across both fics.
I'll post a follow-up blog once it's completed if you wanna see it. For now I'm planning on using it as a way to be able to quickly reference events that happened without having to go back through the story or search the bare-bones storyline I have, since about half of the series is improv while the other half is actually planned.
If you haven't realized, I've essentially been using fanfic writing as a way to improve my writing skills, partially so I could try making something completely original, and partially so that I'd have some sort of fallback if something happens.
One of the more obvious stories in which I tried to be a bit more original is Lab Horse and Space Horse, with Equestrian Human tying up the series as of now, but also returning to a much more closely-linked relationship with MLP.
Looking at where the story is at this point, all I can say is that between it and Shattered Rainbow taking place in the same universe, at the same time, it'd be pretty hard to actually get back to updating either story.
The plots of both stories are completely unplanned and quite messy, with the Lab Horse series actually being made mostly of filler material, and lacking a central plot ever since the end of Space Horse.
I've finally decided. I'll write out the final story arc of Equestrian Human, likely merge it with Shattered Rainbow, and write a sequel that may or may not have the rating bumped to "T" due to an upcoming conflict that'll begin in the final chapters of EH.
From there, we'll see what happens...
As for now, I now have to work on tying up two stories in preparation for the merger.
Apparently this
Is doing immensely better than this now.
I guess that's just saying something about plot stagnation when the author runs into multiple writer's blocks, huh?
It has been completed.
I still could only get one shoe drawn properly. Ignore derp shoe.
Don't forget that Gadget mentions early on in Equestrian Human that she's suddenly a brunette!

No, my internet's actually running fine for once.
It's just that I'm still getting closer and closer to that dramatic turning point in the Lab Horse series that would either mark the end of the series or a shift to an entirely new focus and/or genre.
Like as in, in a couple chapters, I'll be moving onto the final story arc that I have planned for the series, and by final, I mean that I'm still having trouble trying to figure out what should come next.
IT LIIIIIIIVES!
Tell me if the description sounds alright.
To replace Pony-Me: Rogue, which is on hiatus until further notice, I'll be bringing back something that I haven't touched in a loooong time...
This series.
