So this has been a fun week.

In my last post I said I was being kept in the hospital to monitor my heart for some unknown abnormality, in addition to a possibly broken foot due to passing out thanks to severe dehydration from a particularly nasty flu.

Hey everyone. So for the last week I've been away from a computer, first for Thanksgiving with family, and more recently due to a severe flu caught from said family. I'll spare you the details, but it was a messy affair for a couple of days.

You heard the lady.

Well hello there, gentle readers. It's been a long time since I made a blog post. Eight months, in fact. So let's sit down together, put on some easy listening music, and get caught up on life, the universe and everything.

My girl Rarity's got us covered with some smooooth sax.

Hey everyone, just wanted to post a quick update letting you know that I'm finishing up the next chapter. I'll post the winners of the giveaway after that. Thanks for being patient, I know you've waited over a month for an update. December was a complicated month, but I should be back on track now. See you in a bit.

Hey everyone. So here's the deal: this chapter is looooooong. Like, I've been working on it for a month straight, and I'm still not done with it. Thus, I've decided to split it into two. You've all been waiting for a while with no new update, and rather than wait possibly another week and dump everything on you at once, I'm going to release the first half or three-quarters of the chapter today, once I give it a look-through, and post the second half later this week.

Hey there everypone. How's your day goin'? Good? Gooood.

I wanted to post here to let you all know that the next chapter of JBtD will probably be delayed a few days. I have most of it done, but I am moving to a new apartment on Sunday, and as such likely won't have the time to do my usual proof-reading and submitting thing until early next week.

JBtD In a nutshell.

*Zelda item chest sound*

Well hot damn. 500 likes for Celestia? Sounds good to me. Thank you all for enjoying my increasingly not-so-little story, I keep writing because you guys are so damn awesome. I would think of something eloquent to say but I'm going to bed, so just insert your own witty praise here.

Thanks again <3

If any of you got a notification that a new chapter had gone up named "placeholder", well, uh, sorry about that. I proof-read the chapter and forgot to change the title. It's fixed now, of course, so...yeah.

Enjoy! Ignore the derp behind the curtain!

AND 13,000 story views. Amazing.

At first I was like

then I was like

and now I'm like

Funny thing is, I originally intended Just Before the Dawn to be a 'short' story, less than 10 chapters. That, uh, didn't happen. We're kinda just getting started with the romance after 14 chapters. Brevity! It's not my strong point.

What's up, ponyfolk? So the last three or so weeks have been nucking futs for me, what with Electric Daisy Carnival being in town and the 4th of July weekend coming up.

Anyway, the next chapter is just aboot done. I hope to have it up by Saturday. Sorry for the wait, I'd have these out every week if I could.

Here, have some 'Murica as a reward.

Hey there, ponyfolk.

So normally I try to get these chapters out weekly or bi-weekly, but there was so much I wanted to put into this chapter that it ended up taking three weeks to get it all down. Hopefully it will have been worth the wait.

So, here we are. Ten chapters in, and things are just starting to kick off. Hopefully everyone is liking this new format, i.e. shorter chapters more frequently. They're not 10-15k monstrosities like S&B, but at least this way you get your weekly pony fix. I quite like it, personally.

ROCKS. I FUCKING LOVE ROCKS.

Hey everyone. Shorter chapter this week -- we've been incredibly busy not just this week, but this entire month, and things aren't likely to let up until the month is over. March is the busiest time of year in Las Vegas, especially for someone working in the hotel field like I do. Still, I try to get my updates out on a more-or-less weekly basis, so I figured a shorter chapter this week is better than no chapter.

Anyway, hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2

I had a few people tell me that the update didn't appear in their notifications area for some reason. Just in case, the link to chapter 2 is above.

First of all, hey, 100 blog posts! That's 100 posts of me inflating my own ego and/or felating myself over how awesome I am. So, uh, hooray? Let us celebrate with one of the best songs ever recorded. Coincidentally, I may have listened to that song for an hour straight last night just imagining epic pony battles for use in future chapters. IF ONLY I COULD ANIMATE.
