No update for Sirens at the Gate this week. Allow me to rant why

(Before I begin this short rant, allow to state that I unconditionally love my family and in no way wish them harm or premature death, however many times I might say that I want to murder them in their sleep with piano wire.

So I've been working on a new story recently, almost have the cover-art ready. Would anyone be interested in a story detailing what the Dazzlings might have been doing during the Second Punic War?

(For those of you not a boring history person like me, a short summary:)

Hello everyone, I just want to say that the next chapter of RoR will be up tomorrow. The weekend has been really busy with my niece's birthday (3 day long birthday. Think about that for a second.)

What I really want to ask though is what do you guys want from me? I'm back, as you know, and I've been thinking about expanding my role here and elsewhere to give you guys more. Here's a list of things I've been thinking about doing.

As the more observant of you will have noticed, and the less observant inferred from the previous statement, I've been gone a while. Short version: I have a niece who cannot be doted on nor spoiled rotten fast enough, and I've had real, real trouble putting pen to paper. So to speak. So-to-speak in regards to putting pen to paper, since it's more putting fingers to why am I explaining this?

I feel like I owe you guys one. Or at least an explanation.
The last journal, as I'm sure you know, was my declaration that I was thinking of doing a sequel to Three Little Visitors. Then I suddenly stopped writing.

Well, I am going to do that story, and continue the one I'm already doing. But whilst I was doing so, I got hit by the writer's block-bug, and this leads to an inevitable conclusion:
I write stuff, and I'm happy.

The "add it to the main story"'s people have it!
To be honest, I'm still kind of uncertain.

I should just like to warn though, it's going to be a couple of chapters long. I'm thinking 5 off the top of my head, but generally whatever I think is wrong, and it's longer. I'm starting to think it should just be a separate story.
Thoughts, anyone? Still add it to the end of the story?

Now that I have your attention

To be serious for a second though, many of you who read Three Little Visitors will remember that I said I'd be doing a small sequel to it. Well, I've got something in the works that may or not be the end of it, considering it won't answer every last question some of my readers had, but I think will at least bottle up one or two niggling little ends not tied up in the epilogue.

This is basically just a rant. Ignore if you're not interested.

I like groups. I like their functionality, I like that they spread stories out further than they naturally would, I like that people can subscribe tot hem and be able to find stories that they like faster and easier than they normally could.

But one thing irks me about them.

Rant ahead. Lots of swearing. Don't read if you're a thin-skinned piece of unremittent garbage who has their little feelings hurt when people use bad words.

And suddenly Rise of Roam doesn't seem so bad, does it?
At least my version of Equestria isn't a blighted, industrial dystopia in a constant, unwinnable war with the Crystal Empire.
Or a broken ruin controlled by Queen Chrysalis harvesting ponies in the Canterlot dungeons.

Before I say anything else, this isn't a big deal, I've just become addicted to Battlefront, so I'm putting Rise of Roam on a 1 week hiatus to get it out of my system.

In other news, I've also been working on another short story featuring EG Fluttershy, which will be called The Tombstone Tourist. It'll be about 4 chapters long (approx), and will be a mild mystery, slice-of-life story. Nothing scary, no one will die, no gore of any kind. I know you all expect that of me.
