TAS 2: Rooooooad Triiiiiip! · 3:51pm Aug 9th, 2016
It's been a long time.
Only the first 20 seconds are relevant, but I do reccomend watching the full video if you somehow haven't seen it before

A (relatively) long time ago, in the exact same house I'm in right now, I wrote the start of a really crappy MLP fanfic. It has gone unpublished for good reason, but I do remember one section that I was actually legitimately proud of; two paragraphs or so of description as the Mane Six walk back to Ponyville from Canterlot. (because this was before Season 2; and the train hadn't yet become a common thing.)

First off, decided to remove Mentor, Teacher, Princess, Principal from the lineup. That one's a bit of a fixer-upper, to be frank. On the upside, another oneshot has been added instead. But I have even better news! TAS Chapter 2 is finally done! Still needs editing, obviously, but hey; we're getting there!
Admittedly not much has changed on the lineup, but I wanted to let you know of an event that has occurred today that promises all the stories one heck of a boost up into the "Needs Editing" and "Awaiting Release" sections. I have made an actual, measurably significant jump forward in progress on The Atlantis Scenario! Given the last time I made this amount of headway was back in early 2014, I was half-expecting to have to release everything else while this and OR remained stuck,
This is Coldy, writing to you all from a Library computer; I wanted to let you all know I'm still alive, and elaborate on some news.
So, firstly, I completed one of my classes for this year. Another will be taking its place in my schedule, but it's still a step forward for me, so yay!
Secondly, I saw Pinkie's Pride, and it was glorious. As usual, I'll post a more detailed review later this week, once I've had some time to reflect on it.
Year 41: After a long period of depression, Celestia is finally brought back to reality by the combined efforts of Snowdrop, Taylee, Ra, Odin, Hephaestus, and Subira. Celestia begins setting up for the long game. Canterlot begins to be built.
Yes, Snowdrop is canon in the TAS continuity. Take that as you will.
I finally made progress on The Atlantis Scenario!
...In the wrong area.
So, I'm currently stuck at the halfway mark in Chapter Two of The Atlantis Scenario. I've been struggling with a particular scene for the past eight months or so; I have several versions of it written, but none of them seem quite right. This is going to take some time, I think, and a potential option for dealing with things occurred to me just a few hours ago - should I do the George R. R. Martin thing and release the half of the chapter that I do have completed? Or would you
And then there was this thread, and in posting my answer
1: G1 ponies. Maybe even a G1 crossover.
2: Mane-iac, Chrysalis, Sombra, and/or Coco Pommel return in some capacity.
3: Egyptian mythological references.
4: Sea-ponies. Shoo-be-doo!And the last one is especially important to me:
"What do you know about all of this? What does it mean? And... why hasn't anypony told me about this before?"
"Most ponies don't even know about it at all. As for me... well. Celestia has never been one to advertise her feelings, but if she hasn't told even you, it isn't my place to say."
"What? But-"
Since you all seem to have missed it the first time around, here's my tentative plan:
So, this is the next twelve updates (and new stories, in the case of Four and TCoCM) I plan to do, and the order for which they are planned:
TAS Chapter 2: In Transit
TAS Chapter 3: Arrivalries

Four Chapter 1: Formulate Process
Four Chapter 2: Prepare Materials
So, I'll start by admitting that I wasn't really looking forward to this episode. I didn't really not want to see it, either; I was just indifferent to the premise.
But that being said, I think it's my current favorite in Season Four.
Miss Harshwhinny's facial expressions, Scootaloo not being homeless, (TAKE THAT) Rainbow Dash continuing to not be her Season Two self, the Professionalism subplot, the way the moral was handled, the ending, all of it! ASDFGHJKL
Some days I feel like the summer of 2011 was the best time of my life, and that everything since then has gone downhill. (And this isn't just in terms of Ponies, either.)
Thankfully, today is not one of those days.
No updates or progress to report, unfortunately, but I might be able to slip in some writing during breaks between overdue homework assignments. Fans of TAS might want to keep an especially sharp eye out.
