"The Iron Horse" Updates Tomorrow! · 7:01pm May 16th, 2016

Well, it has been a while, but the chapter is just about set and ready to go. It's just one chapter to round out the Romance Arc, but it's a sizable one. I hope you all enjoy it. :twilightsmile:

As a little taste, here's a clip and also a scrapped sketch from the upcoming chapter!

Update on "The Iron Horse" Delayed :( · 8:18pm May 8th, 2016

Yeah. :fluttershysad: I tried my hardest to get the chapter done, but work hit me hard, I'm searching for a new apartment, I had to travel back to my home state to be the minister for my best friend's wedding, and one of my flights got delayed while traveling, so I spent 8 hours in O'Hare airport. Bottom line: the chapter isn't done yet. Though, for the record, I did get a little work done on my cell phone, but it is pretty hard to write well using just your thumbs.

New "Iron Horse" Update: "Love Machine, Part 2!" · 5:29pm Apr 24th, 2016

After getting advice from Cadance, Rarity, and Twilight, Turing Test ventures out into Ponyville to see if she can find love, or at least start a romantic relationship. Will she find her special somepony? Can a robot truly love? Will the answer be less disappointing than that one movie that tried to answer that question?


Aliens. Really.

Anyway, new chapter's up!

"The Iron Horse" Themes: Automation · 5:34pm Apr 23rd, 2016

I meant to discuss this right after the Applejack arc "Apple Computer" of The Iron Horse, but things got in the way, it got delayed and pushed back, and so I haven't quite had the time to sit down and discuss it until now. However, I consider it to be one of the more important recurring themes of the story, especially with regard to characters like Celestia and Applejack, and, of course, to Turing Test.

Turing Test Pin-Up! · 6:07am Apr 19th, 2016

Since some readers seemed to really enjoy all the poses and such Turing Test had in the most recent chapter, my illustrator decided to acquiesce to requests and draw Turing Test in a pin-up.

So, for those of you who asked for it, enjoy it after the break!

New "Iron Horse" Update: Love Machine, Part 1! · 4:52pm Apr 17th, 2016

The update has landed, folks! And it's not a fake chapter this time! It's a short one, but the good news is that you'll get another one in just a week! :twilightsmile:

It's time to tread into new territory for Turing Test as she attempts to decipher the oddest form of organic behavior: the language of love. :heart:

Enjoy the new chapter, ladies and gents. It's...

Yes, yes, I know it's a pain, but I have my reasons, and it won't be too long. Plus, you're getting a preview sketch out of the deal.

All Kidding Aside: Secret Project Tease #1! · 12:54am Apr 2nd, 2016

Hope nobody's too mad at the little prank I pulled earlier with the April Fool's chapter. It seems most everyone took it in stride. A few other authors around the site seem to be getting in on the fun today, which I find pretty hilarious. :rainbowlaugh:

But all of that aside, I've mentioned a secret project that I've been working on for a few months now....
