I think back to my nascent days here, reading stories and typing out my own, hoping for the day where I could call myself a veteran of the fandom. My stories would be remembered and I would stand alongside authors like Pen stroke and Aragon.

And I look where I am now and go, ‘well, you got one big hit. Good enough.’

November 22, 2013. I decided to publish the first two chapters of a dumb idea that had been rattling around in my head.

That idea was Long Road to Friendship .

Long Road to Friendship has an entire French translation! Some of you may not have known this since the link on the story page has been broken for a lifetime and a half! Well, it's finally been fixed and you can re-read the story in Fancy if you so desire!

It's also apparently the most-read story in the French side of the fandom, so you know, that's cool.

Edit: I also fixed the link for Spectacular Seven. It only has four chapters but I thought, why not?

And this is a big 'if'. But, if I were to do a live reading of Long Road to Friendhsip/Q and A session, how many of you would be interested? Also, what would be the best platform to do it on? Keep in mind of the following:

• I am by no means a professional reader. in fact, I've never done this before, so expect stumbles, fumbles, and poor imitations of character voices, especially because I'm male and 95% of the cast is female.

Happy fifth birthday, Long Road to Friendship!

Five years ago today, I set Sunset Shimmer on a long path to torment redemption and friendship in what is my most popular story to date. I had good times, I had bad times, and sure, I would change a few things if I could. But, it was all worth it.

Well, we did it. We sold out of all the first order books for Long Road to Friendship. Neat!

So, as promised, The Ministry of Image is now collecting pre-orders for the second print run! These issues will come with colored pictures instead of black and white! The page quality had to be decreased just a little bit to offset the cost of color printing and keep the book price at 25 dollars, but you're still getting high quality art now in color!

Good news, everyone!

Thanks to finagling by Lezvion, we've found a way to break through Paypals dumb wallet limit. Basically, we stopped using Paypal and switched to a different provider.

It's ready!

Blah, blah, blah, 'they changed the site', blah, blah, blah, 'they changed it, so it's bad' blah, blah, blah, I'm done being lazy and sad and I'm finally writing again. Wait, that last one is actually kinda good.

'Albinocorn, you tagged Long Road to Friendship, did you misclick something?"

No, my lovely readers! This is not an accident! I have some exciting news for you! Get ready to enjoy Long Road to Friendship in brand new ways!

Boy, I'm really milking this, aren't I?

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Sunset fans of all ages! It's time!

I believe I made you guys a promise. A promise that a certain story would be released in a certain month.

That promise will be kept.

The month of September is going to be Spectacular. Below the break, I'll lay down everything you need to know as we go into the final countdown for the sequel you've all patiently been waiting for!

I've never written a sequel before. And I know there's the stigma that the sequel can never live up to the original. Unless you're The Empire Strikes Back. I know I'll only have half the audience that Long Road to Friendship had. And I'm okay with that.

But, I also know that, people go into the sequel with certain expectations, expectations that can ruin the experience sometimes.

Remember when I used to write actual stories? No? Me neither.

It’s like a normal abridged series, only not as funny.

7.5 out of 10. It’s not Sunset of Time.

Long ago, there was a boy who knew nothing about the inner workings of the internet, or fandoms, or writing (The last one is still true). Then, one fateful day, he decided to watch a small, unassuming show called My Little Pony.

He had no idea of the slope he had just fallen down.

I can see it. The end of the road.

First, I'm not annoyed, guys, I'm super happy and excited that you guys are so eager for more stories, but, so I don't have to keep repeating myself, and so you don't have to go digging through my blogs to find things, I'm going to make a quick rehash of what I have planned and tape it to the top of my page.

Hey, everyone, Sunset here. The Albinocorn is still locked in the Hyperbolic Writing Chamber... or at least he should be. Anyway, he asked me just to make a little post acknowledging Long Road to Friendship's second birthday.

It's finally time! 99 blog posts and it's all lead to this!

Why did it take us so long to make this, you ask?

Because the wiki took its sweet time updating the pictures from the movie. But they're here! And we're here! And you're here! And I know what you want! 'Oh benevolent Albinocorn! Tell us your thoughts on the newest Equestria Girl movie! Please, entertain us some more!' And being the gracious host that I am, I shall indulge you!
