So who are you, exactly?
I'm Daedelean. I'm from Norway, I'm 29, and I've just finished being a lit student at the University of Oslo. When I'm not ponying, I play videogames and tabletop rpgs, or just sit and read. I've also recently started playing the flute, just for fun.

In which we get to see Star Swirl the Bearded eat porridge. And some other stuff happens as well that isn't nearly as exciting. Sorry, ominous evil voice, but you're going up against Star Swirl the Bearded eating porridge. Nobody can beat that.

Now there is only one thing to do.
Well, or I could race to try to finish the entire story before that issue comes out, it'll hopefully be several months judging by the fact that it says #17 and we're currently only up to, what, 13?

I do wish the story-tagging system worked, so I could report my ongoing not-dead-ness to all the people who are actually waiting for story updates rather than the much smaller number (but you guys are great!) who are following me, the writer.

Because you can never have too much Luna.

This update marks a few milestones that are only visible to me. For starters, I finally got to use some elaborate curses I've had lying around for years. But most importantly, this chapter marks the end of the bit where I had built up a number of 40%-drafts lying around when I began publishing the chapters, and the remaining drafts I have stored up are only 10% or less.

Please do not look directly into the tea cup; Star Swirl may not be held responsible for any harm that results from the tea spirits gaining entry into your brain.

I've just uploaded a new chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever. Expect updates for The Crown of Night over the next couple of days. It's been a while in coming, but I like it.

Second chapter is up...! Not much more to say right now. The second chapter of Clover the Clever went up a few days ago, along with some Magic: the Gathering jokes, and if you're reading this you probably saw that already.

Meanwhile, in the real world I'm writing my master's thesis about superheroes. I need to finish that over the course of the fall, so hopefully if I fall behind with these fics it will be because I'm getting work done there instead rather than simply doing nothing.
