In the meantime, I figured I'd drop some future info on you, since I've got a tentative title down for the fifth part of the saga at last. So I can officially release that the titles of books four through six are:

Well, by now you've doubtless heard the news. Season 9 of MLP:FiM is the final season.

You know, I'd really hoped they were going to go for the almighty ten seasons.

Still, we kind of knew this was coming. All stories have, after all, an ending. Sooner or later, it arrives. That said, I look forward to seeing the final season, and really hope the team on the project has been given all the resources they want to really make it glow.

You know, pretty much what you'd expect from a dangerous group of elite guard.

So yeah, just keeping the word out. Hunter/Hunted will be out this year. When I won't say. But out it will be!

"Hold up, hold up.” Hunter held up his hooves once more, and the group stopped, though they were all still looking at him with expectant eyes. And I get to tell them what’s happened. Great.
