Soooooo...

I'm actually working on giving Death Darkness an actual back-story, because that was kinda how spontaneously and unplanned that first chapter was...

And according to the one I have currently planned, there is a completely logical and internally consistent reason why she's so exotic, beautiful and special, that if she dropped her guise of shadows it might launch Equestria and at least another county into outright war.

Over 300 up-votes. Now personal best, and just above the rest of my fics combined.
2000 views, about half of all my other fics combined.
338 darn favorites. Also a new personal best.
The first time in the feature box, and the fic is at the moment of writing this still in the hot-stories box.

Oh, and I've gone from just shy of fifty follows and 1500 story views, to just shy of a hundred and 4500...

All thanks to a fic about Death Darkness, the red and black alicorn.

Not sure if she'll "show" next chapter, but I just finalized the design of Death Darkness' main alias that got hinted at in chapter one.

Without further ado, Ruddy Dawn, the horror writer:

Yes, the name and design is a pun on "Red sky in the morning - Sailor take warning."

Just imagine that testral smiling at you from a dark allay!

So... I wrote this thing filled with cliches while ill, just for my own twisted amusement.

Black and red alicorn with "awesome" powers? Check.
A scat joke? Check.
A huge scat joke on the fan favorite Twilight's expense? Check.
OC used to be human and male? Check.
The former human is/was a brony. Check.
...And thus dangerously genera savvy? Check.
A strange and thus "awesome" cutie mark? Check.
Nightmare corruption without any ill effects? Check.

Just thought I'd say it in-case anybody saw the previous blog and was curious, but wished to wait for the edited version.

Link to the train-wreck, already in progress.

So, I got this comment earlier this week from Xanathar while literately at home with a fever...

Don't worry. Looks like you are just a niche author.

...and naturally, just a day or so after ED decided to drop actually giving more feedback than a yay or nay on fics.

Wanna guess the primary reason I submitted it in the first place?

I did get a copy of their editor omnibus attached, so I'm taking that as a hint (unless its the new standard) that with enough polish applied it just might have a shot, however. Considering it took so long I was beginning to think it had gotten auto-rejected that is sadly a step up.

I ask, because I was waiting on feedback on some changes to chapter 3 and realized rather out of the blue that I'd been lazy in my research on a rather important bit of back-story for one of the future characters.

Censored for those squirmy about medical stuff or those that would rather be surprised:

Just dying slightly from a vow seeking spot of plague.

Less then twenty four hours after the first update promise I've made in nearly four-five months...

And I get sick for the first time in nearly a year and a half!

Will see how I feel after a long nap, a few chewed black-peppers, a clove or two of garlic and my biyearly medicinal drink.

I'm I weird when I admit I find the alcohol the least pleasing part of that household cure? Just not a fan.

I can't quite promise it will be up by then since I don't know the schedule of my editors... but I'm going to take it as a personal challenge to get my thumb out of my arse and actually finish the rewrite before the coming weekend is over.
