Okay, so my plan to write a multi-chapter drama fic has exploded for a lot of reasons (the going is way too slow and it's not fun to write), which is painful because I've had it in my brain for years. Which leaves my writing time much freer than I thought it would be, and man, the "Undead" series was way fun to write. I'm not doing a conventional third installment (tf would I do, make Vignette Valencia a vampire?), but I will be making an anthology of reader-suggested chapters/"episodes" both

I always get a bit of blues after finishing a long story, and now is no exception. I also watched the finales today, which added substantially to the feeling.

I remember crying after reading Simply Rarity on the way to my first big-boy job. MLP has been a part of my entire adult life.

Not really, but the latest chapter of Sunset Shimmer Hunts the Undead does have a reader poll that will conclude in a week to determine a plot point. If you're tracking the story but let chapters build before reading, now may be a good chance to catch up so you might influence what happens next.

Courtesy of User NVC, I am happy to present some proper cover art! With beautiful lighting and the delightful juxtaposition of the family and show-appropriate-lookin' monsters, I am quite thrilled to see this up and ready.

1. Next weekend (yeah, I'm missing my self-imposed biweekly update schedule. Boo, hiss.) there will be three small chapters posted. It's a weird thing to do, but there are cliffhangers and pretty severe mood swings that all feel like they would trip over each other if everything was put in one chapter. One's done but I don't really feel like posting it now, because it's Equestria-based silliness and I'm kinda at the point where I'm ready to make the mood a bit more cereal.

Quick question for my Dysfunctional Families Hunt the Undead readers: I can potentially divide upcoming longer chapters into normal-sized ones, allowing me to get them out faster while still ending each chapter at a reasonable stopping point (if potentially with a cliffhanger). Or I can publish all the writing together to make for longer chapters (that cover their entire event) with slower updates. Which would you rather see? I kind of lean towards shorter chapters so I can keep up the

Regarding Sunset Shimmer Hunts the Undead:

-After six months of almost unbroken biweekly or weekly updates, my steam is low and my "cushion" of written chapters is gone. We will also be moving into more consistent "main plot" chapters soon, which tend to take longer to write. Also I'm now writing for an IRL D&D/horror game. While this is not a "gonna take a few months off mkay bye" post, the update schedule will probably slow.

Sunset Shimmer: The literal golden girl of the party is currently taking pre-nursing courses, with the intent to eventually become a pediatric surgeon. The massive time commitment of medicine study and practice is something she tries not to think too hard about, given her desire to continue with the “business.” She’s banking on her high intelligence carrying her through with a minimum of marathon studies, though is entertaining the option of simply practicing as a nurse (against
