BaldDumboRat, the popular fan voice of Derpy Hooves, finished her cover of Smile, Smile, Smile! It features nearly 200 singers during the chorus at the end of the song, and I'm happy to be one of them!

... named Colton. I've never met the guy and don't know anything about him, but his last name is now Vines. *nods sagely*

So a while back, I decided to start doing readings. It's not a scheduled thing; my friend pointed me to this one. Figured I'd toss it out to the masses. It's my first cold reading, and what a story it was! I just couldn't stop-- ... well, you'll see.

... when I saw two of my favorite authors comment on my story.

I just want to make it official that I am expanding The Value of Friendship. I have all of your positive comments, criticisms, and ideas to thank. I was content to submit and forget, but before I knew it the story was featured and exploded with activity! I'm honored and, at the same time, a bit ashamed that such a poor story could make it this far. As I write this, I'm starting on the first chapter of The Fruits of Friendship, now with significantly more Apple Bloom!

Now that the third chapter of Apples and Rainbows has been published, I'm going to begin typing out my next story. It will be titled Only in Your Dreams and has been in the brainstorming process for many months.

The monitor glowed before him, the latest line burning itself into the screen. Sleep was not far behind. The typing cursor kept time with its neverending blink. Hazama had been staring at this screen all evening.

Happy Hearth's Warming, everypony! I reeeaaally wanted to have the third chapter of Apples and Rainbows done as a gift of sorts, especially since it's been a while, but I've got a terrible case of writer's block. On top of that, I'm having doubts again about the story as a whole. I sat down after work and spent the entire evening trying to put words to paper, so to speak, but nothing was happening. Besides, I'd hate to publish something when my heart isn't completely in it. You all deserve

I'm a little disappointed with how Apples and Rainbows is turning out, so I've decided to rewrite the entire story in order to give it a better flow and more attention to detail. Look for that to start happening in a week or so. I apologize if anybody's been expecting the ending. I hope you'll appreciate the new version once it lands.
