In M.L.G.'s chapter "All Alone In the Moonlight" (a reference to the song "Memory" from Cats, BTW), there was a sequence where First Quarter's memories were being forcibly downloaded into Hazelnut's brain. It's been ten months since I posted the chapter, and I don't think anyone (or at least anyone who's commented on the story yet ()^_^) has caught on to just how serious Quarter's grudge is against Celestia.

I'll cut-and-paste the relevant passage here for your convenience.

I still haven't received the picture yet--not surprising, considering that people tend to be busy during the month of December--but work on M.L.G. continues. I've got two chapters done. Well, technically one and a third chapters done: material for the second day of Gray's challenge is finished, but the third day has enough material going for it that what I have finished will be the first part of three.

Ah, health. You've been a real pain these past few weeks, you know that?

Anyway, while I'm waiting for the artwork I've mentioned previously: a number of times while writing the story, I've gotten the setting's timeline mixed up. I went back over the story and wrote out the key details (and a few minor ones) to make sure I have things in order. Figured I might as well share it.

This timeline is current as of February 2, 2024. Also, WARNING: contains spoilers.

I'm not going to be doing any writing for M.L.G. for the rest of the week. Part of that's because I have a couple days off of work this week, and I want to take this chance to get some much-needed rest (and my work laptop is where I do most of my typing anyway). Another part is that while I was able to find someone able to draw the art piece I had in mind, there's still another person ahead of me on the waiting list. And even though most of the next chapter is done, I don't want to post it

The next chapter of M.L.G. will probably be delayed a little bit. There's a scene I have written that's begging to have artwork done of it, and since my skills in that area are lacking... yeah.

Just thought I'd let you know. >^_^<

First, some mood music:

I'm feeling somewhat better after Friday and I've had this brewing in my mind today, so below is a few of the questions I've been asked regarding Manehattan's Lone Guardian since I began two years ago. Some are frequently, others not so much, but either way I think they still have relevancy.

This may be updated as time goes on. We'll see.

There's a bunch of stray/feral cats that like to visit our house looking for food. Among them was this large black cat that my mom liked to call "Guardian". He was the friendly and vocal sort, and he'd jump onto a bench on our porch to get within petting range. I'm pretty sure he'd been visiting our house for at least a year and a half, probably longer.

I'm often tired. When I get like this, my thoughts and feelings tend towards the negative.

I've tried to do a lot of different things in my life. I created a ton of OCs as a kid, and the list only grew as I got older. I often dreamed that I would create my own comics or video games with those characters. At this point, counting the ones I've created for my works here on this site, the exact number is easily in the hundreds.
