"Always Had" is Officially COMPLETED · 5:09am Jul 5th, 2020

It's been almost two years since the last chapter of Always Had was published. This whole time it's been marked as "Incomplete", but tonight I finally decided to move forward with the next stage of the story in a separate fic and mark this one as "Complete", as Twilight's adventure of being Clover the Clever is ended and her slice of life as Clover has only just begun.

Indefinite Hiatus · 1:10pm Jun 15th, 2017

Okay, so this is long past due, but I'm putting Always Had on hiatus. It's been over seven months since the last update, but that's not why I decided to put it on hiatus. What convinced me was learning that there was a new comic series where some characters go through some of Star Swirl's journals, and the one coming out this month details issues that the ponies faced when they were building Canterlot. That's coming up quickly in my story, so I'm going to wait to publish the next

Chapter 15 is up · 7:33am Nov 9th, 2016

Judging by the comments, the long-awaited chapter 15 is now up! I've decided to forgo my usual Sunday post date for some reason, but I've finally worked on it and polished it to a point where I'm satisfied, and I believe you will be too. If anyone's interested, I could post scans of the edited draft for this chapter in the next blog.

Featured... what? · 7:36pm Aug 14th, 2016

So, uh, my story's in the featured box.

I've wondered many times how featuring works. From what I've seen, stories tend to stay up for 24-48 hours until something popular gets submitted or gets updated.

New chapter of "Always Had" is finally up! · 5:54pm Aug 14th, 2016

Finally, after -- what, two months? -- the chapter which contains the big climax from "Hearth's Warming Eve" is finished and published! The soon-to-be founders of Equestria find themselves trapped in a cave system with the windigos bearing down on them. If you've been keeping up to date with it, here's the link to the latest chapter.

Quick Note · 5:56am Aug 7th, 2016

Specifically for Always Had: Chapter 14 will cover what happened in the cave. Cave system, rather. And it's a longer chapter, so far about 3500 words. PLUS there'll be a side story that takes place a few years after Always Had from concepts I developed while working on the cave's layout.

Again, apologies for the long break. I'll do my best to have it up next Sunday morning.

July Update · 2:29pm Jul 3rd, 2016

Just a quick update. I'd hoped to have the next chapter of Always Had published today, but real life got in the way.

Has it already been five weeks? · 9:42am Jun 21st, 2016

It definitely doesn't seem like it's been five weeks. Real life can be a pain sometimes, but I'll be sure to be more active on working on it.

Chapter 13 almost ready · 4:17am May 15th, 2016

That's right, folks, Chapter 13 of Always Had is finally up to my standards. I'll do a little more editing, but I'll try to publish the next chapter tomorrow morning at the usual time (i.e. about 10 hours from the time I posted this blog).

What's it called... · 4:36am May 10th, 2016

when my mom thinks I'm lying or I suddenly made something up when I tell her I don't talk because she doesn't listen to me, and she immediately shoots it down, defending herself by saying she can't listen to me if I don't talk to her, and I haven't felt comfortable talking to her about my problems for a decade or so because she never takes my problems seriously aka doesn't listen to me?

On the plus side, though, I've made actual progress on chapter 13. Several hundred words' worth.

The Crystalling · 12:52am Mar 27th, 2016

At first I thought the title was a reference to Kubrick's The Shining. I have yet to see The Shining, so I'm unsure of the references. However, I do have several thoughts about the newest episode. Spoilers below, if you haven't seen the episode yet.

Having Trouble · 4:25pm Mar 13th, 2016

I'm stuck on chapter 13. I know what I want to happen; in fact, there's a lot I want to put into the next chapter that shows an initial compromise that leads into a continual increase of tension among the three tribes. I also know how I want chapter 13 to end: the three tribes traveling to the cave after the snowfall.

I've been stuck on this chapter for a month now. I say that's long enough.

Response from EQD · 8:04pm Feb 28th, 2016

A few days ago I submitted The Princess That Equestria Always Had to Equestria Daily, and today I got a response.

This blog will be quite long, but I ask you to read it and respond with your own thoughts on the critiques mentioned. I really would like this to appear on EQD one day. It's the fic I'm most proud of, and the one I've spent the most time cultivating.

short break · 6:42am Feb 27th, 2016

This week was not a good week for writing. I spent a lot of time obsessing over RWBY, as well as the usual work and distraction that kept me from writing. Also minorly, I had to reboot my computer when it froze, and it didn't save what I'd written already for the chapter.

Happy Valentine's/Singles Awareness Day · 7:11am Feb 14th, 2016

It's not often that I update a chapter on a holiday. The last time it happened, the chapter was a battle between the Mane 6 and Nightmare Moon that I uploaded on Halloween 2014 on AO3 for The Princess That Equestria Never Had. Today's chapter of Always Had was going to be about the journeys that the tribe leaders made and confessions between each leader and their adviser. Not very lovey-dovey for Valentine's Day.

Just a quick note to let my readers know that I may or may not have tomorrow's chapter ready on time. I'll try my hardest to have it done by tomorrow morning, of course, but still.

Politics · 4:23pm Jan 31st, 2016

Like I said in the author's note for chapter 10, "The Summit of Pieces", I feel it's necessary to bring real life into fimfiction due to the political nature of recent and future chapters and the political situation in America. This won't be a frequent thing, in case anyone's concerned about that.

On Twilight's Magic in Chapter 7 · 7:35pm Jan 10th, 2016

Just two hours after publishing "07: The Bearded, the Clever, and the Smart", the comments for that chapter were about Twilight's magic. Two didn't get some hints I'd intended to convey, and two liked that Twilight was faking her magic. This blog will hopefully clear up any confusion.

The title of this is more to give you readers an idea when I wrote it, rather than a commentary about chapter 5, although there will be some of that here as well.
