Skarsnik asked:

Dot, What do you think of the mare your sister is dating?

I think Winterspear is great! She's actually the best marefriend Iridescence has had in my opinion. All the others were so snobby and mean. They never wanted to color with me or play. Winterspear does all of that! We're friends.

When Crystal and I launched Ask Us I wasn't sure how much traction we'd get. Ask Silent Knight had been popular on Tumblr but these things are still hard to gauge. Suffice to say this was popular. Our form has been flooded with questions in a very short period of time. That is exciting!

When I first started writing Memoirs of a Royal Guard I hopped on Tumblr and mirrored the story there. Additionally, I put together an "Ask Silent Knight" form so that readers could ask questions. It actually turned out to be pretty popular. Lately, however, I haven't spent much time on Tumblr. Keeping FIM Fiction and Quill & Blade up to date is enough work. Plus Tumblr has its own barriers of entry for users here who may want to ask a question.

Update

Happy end of month everyone! I'm quite shocked that July flew by so swiftly.

Next week we'll hit what I deem to be roughly the halfway point of Secrets of a Royal Guard. I think you'll all enjoy it. I am also really excited for what I consider the "back half" of the story. I've invested a lot of time and effort slipping in subtle things since Memoirs that are all going to pay off and pay off big!

Hello everyone! Just a brief heads up. I accidentally double clicked when publishing the Secret update and "unpublished" the chapter. That does strange things to notifications. It is published now and may not show up in your notifications. At any rate, it is there per the usual Monday update!

I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday. It has been a while since I've done a blog post and I'm in an interactive mood! Today's theme is the Quill & Blade AU. If you have a question about the world let me know and I'll do my best to answer without any spoilers of future information. I do want to note that if you're not caught up you might find spoilers below!
