I'm sure that InserAuthorHere will post his own blog post concerning this, but I feel like posting this anyway.

A Chance Encounter has updated at long last! Hendy, the original author, did not wish to continue it for personal reasons, so he put the story up for adoption. InsertAuthorHere bravely stepped up to bat, and now at last the story is continuing!

Round of applause is in order, folks!

Specifically the part with Night Light and Trixie.

I...I just couldn't leave things the way they were between them. And I'm sorry for whatever this might do to the fandom. But I couldn't leave all that hate floating around in the universe.

And...

...yeah, it was pretty good. A little faster-paced than I'd of liked. I'm certain there's one or two episodes from this season we could have cut in order to make this into a 2-parter, which would have helped the pacing issues.

But...yeah, they basically stuck the landing.

So as it turns out I won't be contributing to the H&H collaboration...I had an idea in my head that I thought would work, but it just wasn't at all, and so basically I spent the past week agonizing over an impossible task instead of trying to finish AtGGG so that it can never hurt anyone again. Or maybe I should have just gone with my original plan and made my H&H contribution an update to "Heat of the Moment"... but I didn't.

Right. AtGGG turned out to be my least-favorite fic I've ever written (not the fic itself, so much as the problems it's caused for the fandom), but I'm nearly done with it, and I'm actually now writing parts that I want to write and am enjoying writing.

Using moderator powers to lock a thread. I hate it when threads get locked on message boards, but then again usually that hatred is born from the fact that we've merely drifted off-topic. The discussion might still be reasonably civil, but because it's off-topic, the thread is locked. I hate that.

I did a blog post about a Crisis on Two Equestrias cover once in the past, but I've recently gone back and revised it a bit.

Pay close attention to it...

If I might distract you all from alicorn Twilight for a moment, I was in the middle of putting this together when I got the news.

Still postin 'em anyway.

Cheerilee has become the party rogue, thanks in no small part to Hero of Oaton. It suits her well, though, not the least of which because of all those tasty skill points. It's notable as well that Pathfinder's lack of half-rank cross-class skills again comes to the rescue for Cheerilee.
