Yes! After about 6 months of writing and (especially) editing, Subordinate Six has made its way onto FiMFiction.net. All of episode 1, “The Ensemble”, is complete and available for viewing right now, with future episodes being written already. This is the big one, folks. Please give it a read and tell me what you think!

And now I'll answer some of the more likely questions this story will receive.

Q. What took you so long?

I didn't plan on this, but I've uploaded a new (very) short story to commemorate everyone's favorite (sic) holiday. It's not "Subordinate Six"; sorry, you'll have to wait just a bit longer on that. But hopefully this'll give you a laugh and tide you over in the meantime.

Also, if you're new to my page on this site, and just got here, please check out Glowmelon Mystery if you haven't already! Much better than anything I've written in 30 minutes and uploaded on a whim. ;)

We're in the home stretch right now. Editing is almost completely done, and one way or another, the first episode (read: first 4 chapters) of "The Subordinate Six" will be online within the month*. The cover art should be done by the end of the week, and I've got another secret surprise that may take a bit longer, but it'll be worth the wait. The release schedule for future episodes will be much faster, and trust me when I say I've got a lot in store for everyone.

First off, work is coming along fine on "The Subordinate Six: Episode 1". I'd hoped to get it out by the end of this month, but the editing process is taking a bit longer than expected. My awesome editor, Scootacool, has a recurring wrist injury problem that he deals with, not to mention a job and moderator obligations. I've been working together with friends of mine to iron out all the typos and grammar issues that I can, so that when Scoots does have the time to give the draft a proper

Kept you waiting, huh?

The reason for the long delay is that chapter 3 ended up being a lot more complex and eventful than I'd originally planned. After I completed it, I had to split it up into two separate chapters so that the story wouldn't feel lopsided. So, here is the current word count:

Chapter 1: 3,029
Chapter 2: 3,514
Chapter 3: 3,753
Chapter 4: 4,161
Total: 14,457

To answer the question on everyone's (read: Flame Runner's) mind, no, I did not reach the 50,000 word goal.

I got off to a good start, but the thing is, college started up again for me this month. There was a lot of planning I had to do, to say nothing of how busy I got once I actually started going to classes again.

Today was basically a repeat of the last, other than that the writing was spread across only two sessions this time. I also had the extra incentive of finishing up chapter 2 for my editor's birthday; don't I give the best presents? :P

Wasn't sure I was going to be able to meet the word count today; I had all the ideas for what needed to happen in my head, but I've been having trouble sitting still lately. Luckily, I don't need to write everything at the same time, so I was able to space out my writing across the whole day.

Day 3 Word Count: 1696

Wait, what was that I said in the Day 1 & 2 update blog post yesterday?

"I decided not to work overtime and write any more today to make up for yesterday, since my original word count calculation didn't take into effect that there are 31 days in the month of August."

Well that turned out to be a lie. It is now the end of day 2, and mother of Celestia, did I work overtime.

Day 2 Word Count: 956 + 789 + 2290, 4022 words total

I've decided to start keeping track of my progress on National Pony Writing Month here. As you may know if you follow me, this is my first year participating. The goal is to have 50,000 words by the end of the month, which ends on the 31st. I'm writing an episodic long-fic which is tentatively titled "The Subordinate Six", which focuses on six non-mane cast ponies in their new or current home of Las Pegasus: those ponies are Lyra Heartstrings, Bon-Bon, Derpy Hooves, Vinyl Scratch/DJ PON-3,
