I just need someone to beta-read it. Here's another sneak peak:

Moony raised her head. “Pleeease can you let us in? Pretty please? We need to do something important!”

“How important?” asked the hippogriff.

“It’s super, duper important!” Moony continued. “See, we want to find out—”

“I’ve heard you have the most accurate historical records on the continent,” Sol interrupted.

This chapter is about halfway done.

It was midday by the time they reached Mt. Zephyr’s base. Amongst the grey slopes and sparse vegetation, the opalescent gate stood out like a beacon. Flanked by two hippogriff statues with their wings spread out wide, it blocked the gentle path up the mountain. Strangely, there were no guards around.

Moony pranced up to the gate and poked it. “Uh… can anyone let us in?” she asked.

It's been over half a year since the last chapter of Rainbows After Rain. Don't worry — it isn't cancelled! I have the entire plot planned out, but I put it on hiatus so I could focus on my commission. Now, I'm out of the "swing" of writing it and I'm burned out on My Little Pony, so I've decided to focus my imagination on other creative projects for now. Such as comics about the apocalypse.

A lot can change in a millennium. Rainbows After Rain only focuses on three of the species who took up residence in Equestria's former borders, but I have vague ideas for how to expand this universe. Call it an expanded alternate universe, or XAU for short.

I submitted it to Equestria Daily and heard back from them today, so I've edited the first two chapters according to my feedback. There's nothing plot-changing, just a few added descriptions and fixed typos. Now to copy-paste these edits onto the other two sites...

I drew the original cover myself, but I thought it look inadequate, so I commissioned a new one from Little Tigress once I had the money. She previously drew the absolutely stunning cover of Silent Wings.

First of all, chapter 2 is about a third done. There'll be a sneak peak at the end!

• Moonbow Shine is a partial reference to a line from "A Kirin Tale": "'Cause rainbows won't light up the sky unless you let it rain." A moonbow is basically a rainbow at night. Kirin and hippogriffs both have similar naming conventions to ponies, which makes coming up with names for them so much easier.

One of the focus races in Rainbows After Rain will appear in G5 a few years down the line, and either I'll look like a prophet, or I'll be hilariously wrong.
