I might be shambling around, but I am not dead. Life has just been hectic the last couple of years, and I haven't had the energy to do anything.

To make matters worse, I've found myself second guessing everything I write. Still, I had a story idea from quite some time ago, that I've got a first draft of, that I'm hoping to push to completion...

It might not be comparible to great writers, or even good writers... But, I'm still proud of it, as it is.

So, it's been a while since I've written -- or been on the site, really. And, I wanted to give a small status update for anyone who wants to know.

While I'm still planning on adding an epilogue chapter, or two, to "Do Blooms Come From Apples" to try to clear up a few vague points in the story, as well as give Apple Bloom and Applejack some spotlight, I've not been able to work on it recently. That goes double for making a story outline to help me finish "Rebuilding a Crusade".

What would a prequel to "Molten Gold on a Spring Evening " by "coleisfantastic" look like?

It's something I've been thinking about since I read the original story. Part of why it's a fascination for me is because of the numerous questions the story leaves behind:

1. Why is Scootaloo a dragon?

So, I pulled The Alicorn Plague, because I felt that it needed significant work done to it.

I plan to re-post it after I have been able to re-write it.

Here's another story idea (this is more of a short story idea) that popped into my head at random. I think it could be a funny story... anyway.

Does anyone else think Scootaloo's new aunts should have been these ponies?

So, a while ago I saw a post on one of the forums (unfortunately I cannot find the original post). In the post, the idea comes up that Scootaloo is both a dragon, and Spike's sister (but they don't know it).

Now, If someone has seen a story like this, or they are interested in writing it on commission. Please let me know.

In the meantime, I have taken a stab at a portion of the story, and have posted it below.

So, I find myself laying awake tonight with a slight case of insomnia... Needless to say, I have decided to take a moment and look back at what I have written already... Or more specifically, what led me to make Scootaloo's parents the way they are in Rebuilding a Crusade.
