... did Long Live the Queen get handed straight through to EQD on the first try...

... and Starswirl Walked Through Time get handed back with a "this is actually good, I bet it could be great, so good luck!"

... when The Ancient Heart's First Beating got majorly hated on?

First things first: I've marked "Cloudborn" as being on hiatus. I should've done that a long time ago, actually. It's just... I kept opening up the barely-started chapter 5 and not doing anything. I kept thinking I knew how to go forward with it, but every time I couldn't write more than a few lines because I'm at such a tricky spot and I'm so unsatisfied with how I'm writing this.

I've written two shorties that you guys might like. Actually, I've been sitting on these for a long time for various reasons.

One of those reasons is that I'm going to try to cheese the second one into the featured box using the viewer spike from the front page of EQD. I know it's not totally honest, but I wrote this for other ponies to enjoy, and I want other ponies to see it! The link's here if you're someone who's following me and you just NEED TO SEE THE STUFF I WRITE.

I was rereading some of my own work and I found all kinds of boneheaded ADD-induced errors in Chapter 4 too--between all the hardcore clop, of course.

When I say ADD-induced

Seriously, people just read right over this shit and didn't complain to me about it at all. Are you serial, bronies?

Romance Reports did it, Past Sins did it, Rarity's Worst Day Ever did it, so I figure I'm allowed to do it too: I've made changes to a story that's already been published for a while.

Chapter 3 of Cloudborn was full of nasty little errors. Not grammar errors either; glaring typos like orphaned words sitting where I changed a sentence and didn't do a full job of purging the old version. I dunno how I missed these things but nobody bitched about them I mean what is even up with that?

READ THIS!

Its proper title is "Luna Writes a Popular Fanfic." I might change it to that later.

This is quite likely to be rejected, so please enjoy it, give feedback, and spread the word! This is soapboxy humor and it has a message that I care about.

I'm at the editing phase with something that sorta follows along the lines of Long Live the Queen. It's got the same themes and sorta the same tone, but it's unrelated as far as events.

I mostly wrote it because it's kind of beautiful and uplifting--you'll see.

In the meantime, I now have a few things sitting in front of me that I want to write and I don't know which one to go for.

Maybe you ponies can influence my decision. Should I write...

Those of you disappointed in me for letting The Sixth Age fall by the wayside should go read this. I gave this an editing pass a really long time ago, which I suppose is why the author remembered me when he created his fimfiction account.

He followed me, I recognized his name and so peeked over to read his profile, and hey, it's this guy, and he's taken his fic live!

It's called guess which one of these Tactical wrote, and praise it to high heaven so that he wins!

Anyway, all the fics in there are pretty damn good for being written as a 72-hour challenge. Read them!

The password is "misconceptions"

Those of you who liked "Homeward" really oughta read "Cloudborn."

Man I'm just terrible with titles. I just threw "Homeward" on because it needed a title besides "GildaShy" and now I hate that name. "Cloudborn" at least had some thought put into it; it conveys what I want it to.
