What a couple months these have been. Just... Oof after oof.

This is just a quick gasp of air while I snag some internet time between resolving calamities to say that I am still around. I managed to do a little work last night on the Rariad, but there is little chance I will finish in the next couple days while the current period of net access lasts.

Since there are people interested in my (Below average) painting skills for my Sisters of Battle army that I feature in my Sunset Shimmer/40k cross-over story, I figured I'd start posting some pictures. I'll be using this blog as a big ol' dumping ground.

First off: My Phone SUCKS at taking pictures. Or it is me. Either way, they always turn out blurry.

Wow! Never thought I'd reach this many followers when I started posting stories. Been plateaued for years, slowly, slowly, ever-so slowly creeping up in numbers, until just today, at long last reaching the threshold!

Thank you so much, all of you, who've decided to follow me. I know I don't post many blogs anymore, not that I was ever exactly prolific.

So, I've encountered a hic-cup with the Sunset/Battle Sisters story; I am terrible at writing sci-fi stuff. Like, the interior of the ships, the vehicles she sees, and so on. How much do I describe, how little, what do I focus on, but most importantly; I have NO CLUE what the inside of an Imperial warship is like...

A new interlude has been posted for the Rariad, taking place between parts 6 and 7. So, um, yeah, you can go read that, I guess? If you want to, I suppose.

Sometimes while writing you get distracted by other things and ideas randomly popping in and contaminating a story. I play a decent amount of World of Warships, and have always enjoyed naval history, and while trying to figure out more of Hephaestus' personality and how to write him, well, the couple pages below happened. The initial idea that caused me to go down this path was the simple question of, 'What did he think of the Benevolence of Beauty? Did he see that as a challenge?' I thought

I never thought I'd do this, but I've made a moderately substantial alteration to a published chapter. In the originally posted version, Rarity indicates that she learned from Nyx how to affect the strands of Beauty, and use it to make Dido release Trixie and the other Benevolencians.

Is the shining light I didn't know I needed, here to rescue 2020 from the depths of the abyss to which it has sunk.

And my favourite so far;

I have my writing music for the next several stories. I have my coffee. I have a nice, warm, bright, yet also overcast day. I have a sandwich.

So, first off, there are two chapters of the Rariad that are nearing or been completed. After a few rough patches, I'm rather pleased with how both are turning out.

After 8 years, Myths and Birthrights has been marked with the 'Completed' tag.

It has been a long, arduous, and amazing journey writing this story. There were more than a few times that I didn't think I'd every finish, that it would just fizzle away like almost every other novel or multi-chapter story I've tried to write. 'Sins of the Ancients', in particular, haunted me, and I was very concerned that Myths would suffer the same fate.
