I knew that Chapter 6 of The Line was my most popular chapter. It has been since about a week since publish.
As of writing this, it's 101 views away from tying Chapter 1 for most viewed chapter. The introduction to the story is on it's way to being eclipsed by a chapter that was almost cut.

As of today the lowest view count of any given chapter of The Line Between Fire and Light is over 100. Given how long it is I think that this is a great milestone. And thanks to everyone who got through the story to reach this point.

Eeyup, still doing these slice of life bits in my blog. Fallout does them regularly, so you should check his out too if you like these kind of quick bits.

*James looked over the five of them scattered around Amber's room.*
I'll be working, so if you girls need anything just let me know.
We know dad, now go. This is our sleep over.

May be ready.
I'm not really an artist so I just slapped together an edit for the cover art, just ignore Spike and Fluttershy in the background.

*James walked out the door of the school alongside Rainbow Dash.* I'll see you later, okay.

Of course. Sorry to bail on dinner yesterday, emergency Wonderbolt meeting.

*Rainbow Dash's wings stuck out and she smiled as James began to walk away. She rolled her shoulders and flexed, helping her wings relax as she turned back to the school. Rarity approached quickly as she spotted her friend.*

*Walking through the hallways of New Guardia Castle.*

Hey Starlight, isn't it a bit late?

*Chuckles* I couldn't sleep and thought we could talk for a while.

If you're okay talking while I work. I'm a bit busy, but I would much rather talk.

I can, but I don't want to bother you. Is it alright if I stay to talk?

This is the story of Sara's scar that Zelgadis was going to tell, but Amelia stopped him (Chapter 45). Rather than let it remain a noodle incident and since I'm working on rewriting key events anyway (since that computer fire last year) I figured I may as well share this part of their story.

Within weeks of the Battle of Ponyville

Fluttershy had important work to do, many of her forest friends had been missing since the battle. Far longer than if they had just been scared off. She couldn't stand the thought that so many animals could be missing, scared or lost because of the battle.

She looked to the forest, she found it's eerie silence unnerving. She could do this alone, but she'd rather not if possible.

Just some middle of the night idea I decided to write.

You said this was an emergency Rainbow Dash? What's going on? *Starlight followed Rainbow Dash into her office, closing the door once they were both inside.*

What was I even thinking? It's weird! I'm weird! Why am I like this?

What? What do you mean?

Been a while, but here's another Blog Story in Fallout's style.

The Magical Theory class ended, Celestia spoke with her sister as Cadence walked alongside Sunburst and Starlight. Twilight ran ahead, leaving James and the group of ponies, as she saw Shining Armor taking Flurry Heart on a walk along the well worn road through the woods.

His work done for the day, James walked to his garden to tend to it and relax for a while. He smiled as his eyes caught a glimpse of red among his tomato vines. His face twisted up as it moved, clearly the red wasn't a tomato.

“Hello?” James calmly asked as he approached, smiling as he saw Apple Bloom poker her head up from behind the plants.

“Hi.” She happily called back, carefully making her way out through the vines with impressive agility.

The Line Between Fire and Light just hit 1000 views. Well, Chapter 1 just hit 1000 views, the story itself has quite a few more.
I'm glad that so many people have decided to give my writing a chance, and that some people even like it.
Granted, given enough time it would get there eventually, but it's still nice to see it happening.
Thank you, everyone.

“I think I can say it's early now, Amber.” Twilight said as she approached the painter. After what Applejack had told her, she needed to make sure things didn't get out of control.

The basket behind Amber remained untouched, and her concentration undivided as her face was inches from the canvas while she carefully pained individual apples on the smaller trees in the background. Twilight knew Amber would obsess over detail on occasion, and she never ceased to be amazed by it.

Applejack found the young painter just where Rainbow Dash had said she would be. She knew the spot well and had spent more than a few evenings sitting here, just staring out over her little piece of Equestria.

With some measure of relief she saw that Amber no longer painted with a knife, and was carefully painting treetops. “This your homework?” Applejack asked as she approached.

Amber threw herself on her bed as she finally stopped pacing her room. She rolled over and looked to the blank canvas on her easel, her homework that was due in in less than twelve hours now. She needed to paint a landscape with a skyline, and in her pursuit to find the one she wanted to do she had spent so much time looking that she had now lost the chance to do any. Even though it wouldn't be dry she could paint one in the time she had left, but where?

Rainbow Dash had put off cleaning for long enough and so reluctantly started going about taking care of her mess. Thinking more than once how much she'd like to have someone like Alicia around just to keep things clean for her.

As she finally got to work on her bedroom she paused and stared in disbelief as she saw James' haori just poking out beneath her pillows. She'd completely forgotten that she had borrowed it and he was currently wearing one that Rarity had made for him.

As I've mentioned, I'm working on a sequel to The Line between Fire and Light. I still don't have a title (I am bad at naming things), picture, or description, but I have a couple ideas I'm working on putting together. I'm planning on more slice of life stuff maybe a good arc or two if I can really think of any. (Part of why it's been taking a while for me to write it and why I've been doing the blog stories.) I am working on a couple things with it, but I'm really slow when I'm not

Another blog story in Fallout dude 50's style.
I don't remember what inspired me to write this, but it was pretty sudden.

You three really have romance on the mind, don't you?

*Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded eagerly.*

Nah, I bet this story is less romance, more fighting.

If you like slice of life blog stories, check out Fallout dude 50. His are general slice of life, and usually funny too. His posts are what inspired me to do these. And I completely ripped off his style, so he deserves more attention and thanks.

Starlight found Spike once again walking through the castle hallways carrying several folded sheets.

Hey, Fallout dude 50 does these slice of life blog posts all the time. And you should definitely check them out.
Also, I'm trying to decide if I should start posting my sequel even though it could be months between updates. And I don't have a decent title (or one at all) and would need an editor to at least proofread.
