The daily featured article on Wikipedia earlier this week was this one.

Capella, also designated Alpha Aurigae, is the brightest star in the constellation of Auriga, the sixth-brightest in the night sky, and the third-brightest in the northern celestial hemisphere after Arcturus and Vega.

That just happens to be from where I pulled the names for Blueblood's future wife and mother-in-law, in the epilogue of A Royal Pain.

"I would like to see a story following his son."

"I agree. You should make a sequel about his son."

And I immediately started thinking about it. The general idea came fairly quickly. And now you can watch as Blue Seas learns about his heritage. What happens when he meets his birth father?

For that, you'll have to wait. But for now, you can read Heritage.

(This story should stay at an Everyone rating.)

There was a joke I planned to include in Chapter 8 of A Royal Pain, but I forgot. Here's the changed passage:

Golden Grain stuck his muzzle into a small tub of earth, and came out with a worm in his lips. He stuck it on the hook of his fishing pole.

“I’m glad I didn’t just eat,” Blueblood said, disgusted.

Golden Grain laughed. “When you’re a colt growing up and playing on a farm, you get a lot worse in your mouth. Trust me.”

Do I do my taxes? Or do I write ponies?

Screw the 1040. Let's finish this latest chapter instead.

And another story with clop. A Royal Pain is now published, starring everypony's favorite royal pain, Prince Blueblood. It's planned to be a longer story, of indeterminate length, with not every chapter including clop scenes.

I'm trying something different and requesting audience participation. If there's something you want to see happen to Prince Blueblood over the course of the story, post a comment in the story!
