So, in between commissions, I like to do some personal pieces to give myself a chance to relax. Recently I got the idea to revisit a fan favorite character from my (arguably) most popular story on this site.

Honey Pot

Just as a refresher, here's what she looked like back in the day.

Now, here's what she looks like after a well-needed update:

It's been a pretty long while since I made a blog about this story. What I'm about to discuss below revolves around a major plot detail from the latter part of the story, so if you're currently reading the story and haven't completed it, turn back now.

So these two awesome dudes have a podcast series where they talk about fanfics that they like and their latest episode was about My Overbearing Aunt! I never thought that this kind of thing would ever happen, but life has a way of surprising you sometimes. They even get into a debate over who was better for Marcus: Rarity or Octavia.

One year and one week ago, I published My Overbearing Aunt to FIMFiction. When I first published it, I thought it was just gonna be a fun little story that people would find mild enjoyment in. I never imagined how popular the story would become. I published the story at night, so waking up the next morning with over 50 social and meta notifications as well as a feature was... shocking, to say the least. I also didn't expect to break 100 followers in just over two weeks, either, but it happened,

So yeah. Look out for it.

I'm gone.

Finally got the cover art for MOA: Alternate Perspectives done, and it took me longer than it really should have. So, without further ado...

There you have it!

Octavia was a pain to get right, and I still think she looks a little off, but what can ya do? I'm still trying to find a style that I'm really comfortable with. Let me know what you guys think of this cover.

I'm gone!

Okay, so I've started writing the first chapter of MOA: Alternate Perspectives, and I'm almost done with the cover art, as well, so now is a good time to explain the final plan for how the story is gonna work.

I've made some changes to my previous plan and decided on the following:

Each mare will have their own prologue, and they will be written in the order in which the events within take place.
-Celestia's prologue will be first and will begin before she makes contact with Earth.

I finally got Honey Pot's design done!

BAM!

Well, there ya go. Let me know what you guys think.

I'm gone.

I'm still working on the cover for MOA: Alternate Perspectives. I've already gotten the linework finished so I just need to add the colors and I'll be done. So far, I've colored Rarity, and the next mare that I'm coloring is Honey Pot, and since people keep asking me in PMs and Tumblr messages, I'll post a solo picture of Honey Pot once I finish coloring her, which should be later today. After her, I'm gonna be coloring Luna, then Celestia, and finally Octavia (because I need to do some tweaks

Just started working on the cover art for MOA: Alternate Perspectives this morning, so the story is getting closer to being posted. The cover is just going to be bust-sized drawings of the main mares from MOA (Octavia, Rarity, Luna, Honey Pot, and Celestia), and I've already finished the linework for Octavia and Honey Pot. I'll probably have the cover done by next Friday, and after that I'll be writing the first chapter of the story, wich should take me anothe couple of days, so if I had to

So I've finally decided on when I want to release MOA: Alternate Perspectives. It's not an exact date, but this'll give you a general idea of when it's coming out.:

Mid-July.

Yes, it's gonna be a while, but it's gonna be a retelling of a story that you guys already read anyway, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I'm gonna be writing Shades of Night in the meantime, and maybe another one-shot or two, if I can come up with something.

So yeah. That's it. I'm gone.

Damn… It’s over. After nearly six months, My Overbearing Aunt has ended. To say that it’s been a hell of a ride would be a major understatement.

Like I did with Facing Changes, I’m using this blog to open up a discussion about our thoughts on the story, whether you’ve been reading from the beginning or you’re just catching up, because I like to hear the readers’ opinions.

So a good friend of mine, Naughty_Ranko, has been doing clopfic commissions so she can raise some money, so I decided to help her out. When she asked me what I wanted her to write, I decided to see how a certain chapter of MOA would have unfolded if the story was a little different. I asked her to write an alternate version of chapter 6, and this was the result.

Recently, I've been receiving comments and PMs from other writers requesting to make sequels or spin-offs to my stories (to MOA and FC, particularly,) since I prefer not to write them. These requests have been increasing in frequency (I've gotten over fifteen of them in the past three weeks), I feel the need to make this blog so I can let my stance be known and so that I can refer to this blog when I get any future requests like this.

I'm going to put this in the nicest way possible.

So, as you all know, the next story that I want to write after MOA finishes is MOA: Alternate Perspectives. The final chapter of MOA is about 1/3rd of the way towards completion, I have the cover art for MOA: AP sketched out, but...

An interesting idea came to mind.

As I was writing the final chapter of MOA, my mind started to wander, and I thought: I wonder if I could pull of a one-shot HiE romance with...

Finally finished the comic I promised for my 200 follower celebration, which is 100 followers late.

The MOA scene that I chose was the scene in Chapter 17 where Luna crashes Tiberius's dream date with Philomena.

Hope you guys liked it!

I know you guys are patiently (or maybe impatiently) waiting for the next chapter of MOA. I know that my usual cycle of writing is one chapter of MA, then one chapter of Facing Changes, and so on.

But, since FC ended, and since I wanted to get my next story on its feet, I sorta broke the cycle.

Lately I’ve been re-reading various chapters both MOA and Facing Changes, examining the differences between the two, despite the fact that they both have a similar conceptual theme: the idea of Celestia raising a son when she’s had little to no experience doing so. I chose to re-read chapters that highlighted Celestia’s interaction with the main human in each story (Marcus from MOA and Devin from FC), and I never noticed how differently I’ve characterized each version of Celestia.

So I recorded and uploaded a video to YouTube showing how I draw Princess Celestia. If you guys have any suggestions for who I should draw next, let me know!

Before I start, I want to say that this is NOT an Apirl Fools joke. I'm totally cereal.

With MOA ending, I've been working on how I was gonna execute MOA: Alternate Perspectives, and I've come to a decision on how the story will flow.
