In Exile No Longer reached 118 upvotes before its first legitimate downvote. I'm pretty damn proud of that.

Which character is the hardest for your to write faithfully? My answer will probably be the most common one, but it's also the absolute truth.

Zecora. God damnit how I wish I could rhyme better. I feel like I can portray her accurately, but if I can't whip up a convincing string of rhymes, there's just no point. It sucks too, because she's one of my favorite characters, and I'd love to be able to do more with her, but I'm not about to half-ass it just to scratch my itch.

Apparently I'm now a FIMFiction gold member. I have no idea what that means, and I didn't pay for it...

God that's an overused meme.

Anyway... stop it. Please. The site does not need to be changed every month, often for the worse. YouTube doesn't get this. Yahoo! doesn't get this. Can one website I frequent understand that a new layout immediately after people got use to the old one is not a good thing?

In Exile no Longer has reached one hundred likes, and zero dislikes.

Thank you everypony for helping me achieve this goal.

You may now ruin the streak.

Hell, it's the central plot of half the fics on this site. Guess that just made me used to it.

I've read so many awesome stories on this site, and so frequently I don't favorite them or follow the author, so I can never find them again. But I know you fine folks are smarter than me, so you'll either know what I'm talking about or can at least point me in the right direction. SO! Without further ado, let's play "Find that Fic!"

An amazing, fan-driven project -- My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic -- has been cancelled, citing a cease and desist letter to the production team, Mane 6. Most would blame Hasbro in this instance, but it's not really their fault; outdated copyright laws are what killed this game. I hope and pray that there might still be some light on the horizon, but who can say for sure? All I can do now is cling to rapidly fading optimism.

Godspeed, Mane 6.

I was going to wait until the next chapter to do this, but the picture is too awesome to keep to myself for that long. So, feast your eyes on the amazing piece created by Jordan and his intermediary, Destrid. I will make sure to credit you both again in the author's notes of chapter two as well.

I submitted the sequel to The Second Exile, titled In Exile No Longer. Expect it up in a few days, and thanks for following.
