Not pony. An angsty Satoko/Rika fic, from the franchise Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni.

The fandom overlap here is probably vanishingly small, but maybe someone will be interested.

It's 2019, and Rika is back from her travels, visiting her closest friends in the world. All of them have spouses, have children. It's hard to keep denying that absence in her own life, so she finally comes out as a lesbian.

Satoko doesn't take this well.

Heya folks. Remember when I wrote crazy metafictional murder mysteries instead of stories about teenage girls kissing each other?

Seems like a lifetime ago.

I'm currently working on both with in the form of an original novel at the moment, but that's not the point of this blog.

Howdy y'all.

It's now officially been 1 year since I posted the prologue and first chapter of of The Heart of an Author.

It all started with an unemployed me sitting around bored in my apartment and thinking "If I was going to cross over Umineko with ponies, how would I do it?"

It's a Christmas miracle!

Sorry it took so long folks, but everything is now fully edited and it will be posted starting Monday, December 8th. Probably around noonish, central time.

There's about five chapters total, and one will be posted each day of the week. It's been a long time coming.

Heya folks.

I'll keep this short and simple.

- There will not be a new chapter on Monday, September 22nd

- We're at the end of the story, and I want to make sure everything concludes with the best effort I can give. As well as make sure the final closed rooms are logically consistent. To that end, there won't be any more updates until everything is finished, following which I will publish the entire climax over the course of a week, so you don't have to stew on cliffhangers for ages.

Howdy! This blog post contains spoilers current to the most recent chapter (Chapter 16) of The Heart of an Author.

Chapter 13

“Everything I speak in red is the truth! There’s absolutely no need to doubt it!”

“Unicorn magic in no way factored into the commission of this crime or the construction of this closed room."

Howdy, everyone.

In addition to uploading my most recent chapter, Mirage Coordinator, I also recently rewrote the prologue chapter and reuploaded that. The debate around whether or not it's appropriate to make significant changes to in progress stories in an ever contentious one. In a mystery story, that expectation that what you've read stays the same is doubled.

Howdy y'all.

Assuming that it's why you're here, thanks for reading my story! These past 57k words or so have been an absolute blast to write, and there's still plenty more to go. Things are about to get crazy in a good way. (I hope.)
