tl;dr: Even the toughest of us are afraid of the dark, of being trapped and held back, but usually it’s secretly a fear of weakness.

I’m nervous. I’m really nervous. Not about Chapter 14 — that’s easy. Slam Dunk. Straight Value. I’m scared because I’m not finished Chapter 15 and I’ve only got a month left. It’s gotta be good. It’s gotta carry its weight. It’s gotta follow Chapter 14 — a tough requirement if ever — and I’m not sure that it does, yet.

So, yeah. Nervous. This is crunch time.

tl;dr: Y’all think Daring Do has a thing for getting tied up, restrained, bound, or shackled? And, if so, how would she feel seeing Rose hogtie somepony else?

Daring Do: It’s not my first Rodeo:

Show of hands: how many of you expected Midnight Oil to doublecross the heroes? How many hoped she would?

I was indeed featured on EquestriaDaily! Whee! And I got almost 300 views that day alone. If you’re publishing MLP fiction and want to reach a wide audience, EqD is the way to go. Just be sure to be patient with the feedback process—they get a lot of submissions and they have high standards. For reference, I submitted back on the first of August (it’s nearly October now.)

tl;dr: Treasure maps aren’t one-way. Sometimes, when a map leads you in, it leads something else back out. SO SPOOPY

I mean, did you really expect them to choose the sneaky way? Good try, but fuck that noise. This is an action adventure! But I’m really glad some people voted. And I love discussions in the comments section. Keep it up!

tl;dr: Ever notice how Spike is summarily dismissed or removed from fanfiction for plot purposes? “I left him at Rarity’s.” “He’s on a Dragon vision quest.” “Sorry, Spike. Maybe when you’re about a hundred years older.” Like he’s some sort of plot parasite. Lazy authors, the lot of ‘em.

tl;dr: Next time you decide to plant your bare ass on a priceless, one-of-a-kind treasure map, just make sure you’re not sitting on the X that marks the spot. Sends the wrong message.

tl;dr: There’s a reason there’s only one apple farm in all of Ponyville, and it ain’t because they’re lacking in space or demand.

Whoo boy, this chapter. Ok. So, way back in the day it wasn’t the Tome that took over, but a super evil other villain you’ve already met if you’ve seen any of the show itself. My reviewer pointed out that it was a fucking stupid idea (my words; he was much more diplomatic about it) and I tore it out. It’s still in the deleted scenes I have in my workspace.

tl;dr: Don’t buck apple trees if you’re tired. You’re liable to pull something.

What would it be like to not cast a shadow? Hold your hand up over your face to block the sun. Can you still see the light source? If so, how do you see through your hand? If not, how is the skin immediately around your eyes illuminated? I mean, magic, sure. But how?

tl;dr: The color of a Unicorn’s magic is as unique as one of our finger prints. To see a room colored just so would be reassuring to a Unicorn in trouble.

tl;dr: When you take your quests from the Notices and Affairs Board at the local adventurer’s tavern, you’re bound to run into other adventurers. Keep to protocol and yield the right-of-way, and everyone will have a good time.

You're still following along? That's awesome! Did you guess this chapter’s title? As we go the titles are going to get more and more meaningful, providing hints to what’s going to happen next.

tl;dr: All any of us want is to be loved, to be cared for, and to be seen as a total badass.

How did you guys like the shorter chapter? I would've folded it in with one of the chapters on either end but it just quite fit. Plus, it's been awhile since Twilight has had the spotlight. How about shorter Author's Notes? Not that anyone reads these, of course. I could probably spoil the whole ending and no one would notice. MAYBE I ALREADY HAVE.

This is one of my favorite chapters. Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows is starting to encompass all the qualities I love about a good adventure story, and then some: danger, excitement, drama, and magic.

Also butt jokes. Goddamn I love butt jokes.

tl;dr: Look, I like have ponies bash their heads into things, alright? It’s a thing for me. It’s gonna keep happening. Just . . . just deal with it.

Many thanks for reading Chapter 2 of Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows. If you're enjoying it, why not hit that thumbs-up button and leave a comment? In case you couldn't tell, us writers are basically addicts that need the approval from others.

So, you know how on Wednesday I was feeling lazy? Well, here's a review to make up for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah... only one today, eh, what can I say, I still feel lazy. Also, this is technically Wednesday's, even though by the time I actually wrote this it was Monday.

As always, I will put down my recommendations, but I truly hope that you to make the choice on whether to read a fic or not yourself.

I have three different stories in various stages of production, but this blog is about a collaborative effort. Dusty Tome asked me to do some creative consultation for an AU, which I was happy to provide. (Also, I wrote Pinkie Pie, which is always fun.) The first chapter is out, and you can now read the beginning of All's Right With The World
