I'm writing a short story collection that bridges MLP:FiM and DnD lore. It's surprisingly simple in concept, but broad in scope, because it's a total rewrite of Swordpony. The most important changes:Spike's egg is the focus, and Grogar is the villain, not some unnamed deer god of death. I daresay you'll find it fits DnD mythos to a tee, to the point that you might question: Did Faust and her crew intend this, or were they merely influenced?

Thankfully it's already been un-featured. But still. That's some irony right there.

Just to reiterate, the old Swordpony is cancelled. I haven't watched the show since the movie came out. My little brother was Swordpony's target audience, and the only person I could watch the show with.

So I just sent off my first "Story Update" email to EQD for the first time in... almost four years, oh my look at the time.

My sincerest apologies go out to the poor soul who has to open that email and deal with its contents. Not only does Swordpony now have bigger, bolder, fancier cover art, but it also has a bigger... bolder... fancier description. I hope that particular EQD staffer comes equipped with coffee.

I looked out this morning, and the sun was gone. Turned on some music to start my day. I lost myself in a familiar song.

I closed my eyes AND I SLIPPED AWAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY...

I meant to mention this in the last blog post, but I didn't, so now I will. All the sketch uploads will be happening on Derpibooru, since that seems like the best place to put them (as the final sketchdump will go up on Deviantart). This is primarily to avoid spamming the 50% of my Watchers who follow me for reasons other than MLP.

Progress is accepting that nothing will ever be perfect, so we just have to do the best with what we've got.

Progress also comes in the form of a good editor (providence gifted me TWO of those) and finishing what you start.

Better blog title might have been "what is dead cannot die," but whatever.

It's been several years since I started Swordpony. It's a story I swore to finish, even if only because I'd never finished one before it (still haven't) and decided "it's this one or bust." But real life hit me like a ten-ton pallet of bricks after high school, and even my spare time for reading was cut back drastically.
