So, just today I found myself reading a fic on here, one that went to some dark places and I can admit very much unsettled me. I won't be giving the name of the story here, as this isn't meant in anyway as an attack on the author's story. It was technically well done and he/she can certainly write whatever they choose. But, in very broad terms, it was a fic about Cadence and Shining Armor taking vengeance upon Chrysalis...it was rated M, had the 'Dark' tag and was a clopfic, so, I'll leave it

Hey, having a bit of a time writing the next chapter of "Diamond Tiara goes to Boot Camp"; I know what it should have, it's just putting it all together that has me stumbling. As such, I think I'm going to take a break from it and maybe write something else, either the next chapter of "Intermediate Lessons" or a new story. Clear my mind and all.

That being said, I have a busy week so, even then it might take a few days for me to get writing much of anything.

An all-around solid episode this week. It seems it's being driven home for all characters that magic is not a toy, and it also further helped distinguish regular magic from the "dark" magic of the setting. Like with the Alicorn Amulet and the Mirror Pond, the book came with great power, but also twists and pushes to the extremes the personality of the users. Pinkie Pie generates countless insane caricatures of herself, the Alicorn Amulet pushes Trixie's bitterness and desire to be the best, to

...is probably going to be Monday evening. The 2nd chapter of Intermediate lessons is going to be a bit long, and it covers a lot, so it's taking a bit of time. After that, gonna begin work a brief side-chapter for Diamond Tiara goes to Boot Camp, that looks at the fallout from the latest chapter, then another full chapter that advances the main story.

So Intermediate Lessons, then a mini-chapter for DTgtBC, then another full chapter for DTgtBC.

Hey, had to do some minor reworking, for the events in the latest 'Diamond Tiara goes to Boot Camp' chapter. I've got it in my head, but every once in a while it just feels right to change up the order a bit. Sorry for the delay, but it'll be up later tonight.

Hey, just a heads-up, caught a cold Thursday, and couldn't really do much writing. Just a slight delay. Next chapter of Diamond Tiara goes to Boot Camp should still be up next week.

Hey, everyone that actually reads these things. Let me just start by apologizing for the long break between updates. I ran into a massive writers block and a general lack of creativity in drive, and I just needed to get away from writing for a bit. To say nothing of the number of issues I had deal with in day-to-day life. Fortunately, my head is back on straight, and I'm writing again, and I should have the 1st part of a promised short story up, over the weekend. And I will be getting started

First of all, Happy New Year to all.

Second...Yeah! Just passed 2k story views! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for that. And thanks for the reviews and criticism.

And finally, as promised, here is the list of my, relatively important, OCs. In order of appearance in my stories:

...so, the update is taking longer than I wanted; it's progressing, but slower than I meant for it to. I have the it in my head, but I seem to be running into trouble actually solidifying into actual words. Working on powering through this little quagmire I seem stuck in, without sacrificing quality. Hopefully, it'll be in order within the next couple of days.

Okay, I've gotten my time in with my PS4 (And was very happy with it. Anyone curious can find me on PSN as Ghoul88, on things like Battlefield 4 and Warframe.) and now it's back to writing. Main project right now is still "Diamond Tiara goes to Boot Camp", but since I see that being a fairly long story, I think I going to spend a bit of time writing up some related one-shots. Just to avoid letting creative ideas go to waste, and to let me vary things up.
