Concept Art: Grace & Glory · 6:51am Nov 24th, 2015

Just a quick little something for folks, what with Grace's recent appearance. First a couple of things I should clarify publicly:
1. Grace and Glory are not going to be making more appearances in this narrative.

Guess Who's Featured on Equestria Daily? · 7:57pm Nov 22nd, 2015

Remember when I said I got some good news in the mail. It was for this:

Hopefully this means more folks will discover the story, but in any case, it's nice to be considered good enough to share with the community. Many thanks to everyone who's been supporting the story. I am grateful to you all. :twilightsmile:

"Do I have a soul?" · 6:55am Nov 21st, 2015

First, a cryptic little announcement: I got some good news in the mail recently and I'm hopeful that it'll mean good things for "The Iron Horse." We'll see soon enough. :raritywink:

Now, on to the main point of this blog post. In the most recent chapter, Turing Test asks a question I'd planned to have her ask Twilight ever since I was planning the story out in my head:

"The Iron Horse" updates early today! · 7:38pm Nov 15th, 2015

Just a little note: I think, since edits and art are done for the next chapter, that I'll post the new chapter a day earlier than I'd planned. I hope you'll enjoy it as the capstone to this arc.

However, the next update might actually take longer than normal. :fluttershysad: I'm trying to write something original for National Novel Writing Month and it's going to take my attention for a bit. Plus I'd like to do a little more research on some things coming up for the next arc.

Happy Halloween/Nightmare Night! (plus updates news!) · 1:45am Nov 1st, 2015

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Correction: tonight is the festivity known as Nightmare Night. This festivity involves organics dressing in costumes for the purpose of frightening others or merely to reference media they find enjoyable. Many organics seem to enjoy things which acknowledge the existence of other things.

Milestones and Deleted Sketch! · 5:38am Oct 27th, 2015

Milestones abound! "The Iron Horse" has gone over 800 comments, 34,500 total views, and has gotten to over 200,000 words! Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's been enjoying the story. Also, from the most recent chapter, here's an unused sketch Green was working on for me. We ended up not using it because it was supposed to be Twilight in the scene with Turing, but I still happen to think Gadget looks pretty cute in it. We might end up properly finishing it at some point.

Did Turing get a part-time job? · 2:59am Oct 24th, 2015

Well, this is weird.

Comic on Channelate by Ryan Hudson. Beep.

Anyway, "The Iron Horse" will update Sunday. And you just might get another chapter hot on its heels! :raritywink:

I guest starred with Firebrand! · 9:11pm Oct 17th, 2015

Some of you might know Firebrand as a community analyst who does critiques and reviews of episodes of MLP, usually with a humorous bent. Well, in his recent review of "Amending Fences," I guest starred as a Changeling! Jeez, with this and "Daughter of Discord," am I becoming the new fan-voice for Changelings? Is this my new role in the fandom?! Will I be swamped by others wanting me to do that voice for their fanfic dramatic readings?!
Probably not. Here's the video.
