Yeah. Yeah. Been a while without an update. Heck. This would have been posted last week if I hadn't gotten very sick.

Twas the Eve of Hearth's Warming and all through The Power Block,
Not a creature was stirring, except a malfunctioning Xbox.

I planned out my gift route thanks to a handy Android app.
The path was nonlinear, hopefully nopony would gleen.
Something, something, I have a time machine.
(Hey. My writing new works is something we all missed.
Those who follow me on Twitter likely saw a set of posts right after the recent episode where I set the canon for how the Applewood Derby would have occurred in my various stories. Here are the reproduced and explanded versions.
This is basically adult Satsuma, just gotta ditch the horn and rework the colors.
So...
In the last while since I posted a blog here, I got a nice little horrible depression that killed my will to do anything for most of the time. It started long before Christmas too... But even with motivation shot to crap and still not up to 80%, I found time to work on the next SCS chapter! Yay! It should be up Wednesday US/Canada Pacific time. Hopefully. That is the goal at least.
And a Merry Wookiee Life Day!
Thank you to all my readers, new and old. It has been another wonderful year writing for all of you. I know I didn't finish more chapters than I should have. I really don't have any good excuses, but I am eternally grateful that all of you took the time to read them and give them nice comments. Sadly, the next SCS chapter might not be out until next year, but I have everything blocked out and will have plenty of time to write after Christmas.
No, we're not celebrating the political ties between the US and Turkey. That would be an interesting research topic though. No. Just going to have a bunch of food and hang out instead. I have a friend coming over, so I'm going to be hosting him and cooking dinner for us.
Anyway! Story updates!
When the next chapter gets publish and you see the "start date" on it as October 1, know that it was finished on November 1 (probably not the publication date) and know that there were 31 straight days of writing, tweeking, editing, updating, researching, etc put into the chapter. Not one day off, and it still took that long.
Almost forgot that I wanted to fill everyone here on my game plan for the next bit.
I weighed all of the input and started on the next chronologic chapter of SCS to work on it alongside the other chapter I mentioned. It is a shortish chapter so it is worth doing for your enjoyment.
So! Since the chapter is centered on a Sisterhooves Social, other than the events shown in the episode, what would you like to see? As long as they fit the theme of the episode, I'll consider them.
Just a quick question for SCS readers. I'm currently working on a new chapter, BUT it is 1) a post-SCS bonus chapter and 2) not close to half finished. It is one that I can slowly work on piece by piece because it is about Razzly vlogging about events that happen after SCS ends and the next story begins, thus is a collection of scenes and not a unified narrative, so I can work on another chapter of two while this is brewing. Your opinions are:
First of all, I want to thank everyone who checked in on me during this extended absence. Your kind words and caring nature really helped during the tough times getting the last SCS chapter finished. All of you know who you are, but I especially want to thank Patronum2000 for all the fun comments on TWP as you read through the story. Those really made me smile while is was getting everything in order.
Gonna be at least a week off of new updates. Sorry about that.
I would have had a new chapter ready for next week, but I had a few final projects to work on. Also, I didn't know which chapter I wanted to do. I was going to propose letting my readers pick, but then I started work on the next chapter in the story. I really was considering some far distant chapters too. Until about the 12th-18th, getting chapters done will take a bit due to end of semester stuff.
Wish I could tag more than one story for this since it is about RoH and SCS characters.
Anyway! I've been thinking while working on the next three SCS chapters about the counterparts for each of the RoH Elements of Harmony, who they are and how they would balance each other. Now, in SCS, we still have the Mane6, so it is more like which SCS character balances or counters which RoH Element. I think I have a decent list, so let's have a look at it.
Will not be... Jk! They're on their way!
Chapter 42 will come next week. Or, if you don't like my ability to now post chapters in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week, it can come this weekend. At super early/evening US Pacific time hours. Speak up if you don't like getting something to read in the middle of the week.
SCS chapter #40 - "Cutie Mark Caper" is currently canceled. To paraphrase my fav Smash 4 character: I am not really feeling it. Even though I like the idea behind it, I can't seem to get behind it and finish it. It partially goes with how I'm feeling right now (super men to occasionally bad) and partially with not wanting to force my way to the good stuff.
Brief synopsis:
First, as my last act of my winter break, I have decided to register for BABScon. For those who don't know what that its, it is the Brony convention in San Francisco. After hearing how fun the last one was, I felt stupid for not going, even though it was only a couple hours from where I live. Bonus points this year for being held during my spring break. I'll be there all three days (though how much of Friday in unknown), so if you're going too, we can work out a meeting just to say 'hey' or
Sorry for a bit of the delay getting the story out to y'all, but I ran into some distractions (holidays, TV Tropes, etc). But the latest part of the TWP/SCS verse is complete and uploaded. It is my gift to SCS readers who have gone so long without an update thanks to my busy semester last
Nasty head colds suck. That is all. ... Okay, more than that, but as soon as I left my last class on Thursday, I started getting symptoms of what has turned into my worst cold in months. Literally, since it has been months since I was last sick.
Anyway!
if I wrote a Christmas-themed story (not too long, say about chapter length) starring Luna and the children born during Starlight Chronicles, children from the couples in Starlight Chronicles? (Read: Starring Starlight's kids among others.) My editor asked if I was going to do a Christmas chapter. I said 'no', but now I have an idea for a wacky story involving them. May contain SCS spoilers and tons of references to classic Christmas movies/TV Shows/Sherlock Holmes stories.
