Chapter 8 Progress Report · 12:34pm Nov 8th, 2022

Me: “Alright, Chapter 8 shouldn’t be too hard to write, it only has a few scenes. It’ll be less than 10,000 words this time, easy!”

Also me: *writes 13,183 words over 54 pages of a composition book*:twilightsheepish:

Chapter 8 Progress Report · 4:19am Sep 1st, 2022

Hello every-pony! It's been a while since I've said anything. For those interested, I am still working on Chapter 8 for The Sixth Alicorn. It's been slow going, but I've written 3,701 words so far. I'm not anticipating this chapter to be quite as long as many of the others I've published, but you can never tell where these things go.

I can't say for certain when I'll have it posted. I'm aiming for October / November, bu we'll have to see.

Posted Chapter Seven!!! · 9:17pm May 11th, 2022

I finally finished Chapter Seven of The Sixth Alicorn! That took 11 months to do! Man, I never meant for the wait to be that long. But the wait is over now, I hope you enjoy it! It's final word count is 13,930, and it runs a span of 29 Word pages. It takes place entirely from Nyx / NMM's perspective, which was hard for me to nail down. Children are a lot harder to write than you would think. I have more details in my author notes, if that interests you. I've also posted the story

Chapter 7 update · 3:49am Apr 1st, 2022

Happy April Fools Day, every-pony. Good news! I have actually finished the first draft of Chapter 7! No, this isn't an April Fools Day prank, I actually have a draft done, and have been working to revise it. The current word count is 18,466 words and spans 36 pages. The initial draft actually exceeded 20,000 words and reached forty pages, but I've managed to pare some of that back a little.

Chapter 7 update · 6:05pm Mar 2nd, 2022

Hello every-pony. It's been a while since my last update, so let me fill you in on some of the details. I'm still stuck on Chapter 7. There is this long section I need to finish, but it feels like it's taking forever to write it. What frustrates me is that I have finished the rest of the chapter; it's just this one section I have left to write. Then I can get down to the business of editing the blasted thing. At the moment, the word count sits at 16,200 words over 33 Word pages. I expect

Happy New Year! · 7:03pm Jan 1st, 2022

Happy New Years every-pony! Yes, I’m still here. I’ll provide an update on my fic.

I’m still working on Chapter 7. It’s above 10,000 words, so there’s a large bit there. But I have a bit of writer’s block going on, so work has been glacial. I’ll update when I have my draft completed.

Halloween Jack O’ Lantern, update · 2:28pm Oct 30th, 2021

Ok, here’s the results of the contest I was in. The good news is that it won in its division (boys 17+), though not the overall contest. The bad news is that somebody brought a “Texas A&M” pumpkin that got attacked by mold, which spread to my jack o’lantern. The instructors had to toss them. Dang Aggie pumpkin!:applejackunsure: I guess we now know who Nightmare Moon’s true enemies were all along. Not to worry, they photographed it when I brought it in, so they’ll display that instead. My

Halloween Jack O' Lantern · 3:48am Oct 27th, 2021

Happy Halloween! This has nothing to do with my story or anything, I just thought this was interesting. My dojang is hosting a pumpkin decorating contest, and this was my entry. Think it'll win? This is the same pumpkin, front and back.

Chapter 7 update, October · 4:31am Oct 2nd, 2021

Hello every-pony! October is upon us, so I thought it might be a good time to provide an update on Chapter 7. I'm still working on the rough draft. Right now, it's running 10,129 words, over thirty-eight pages of notebook paper! And I still have more to do. And it is handwritten, so that means I will need to go back and type it all back up later. I hope to at least have it typed before the end of October. I can tell already that a good deal of revision is in order for it. I was hoping

Chapter 7 update · 4:00am Aug 2nd, 2021

Good evening, every-pony! Here's an update on my progress with Chapter 7. I have been writing it out long hand, and have churned out 5,368 words, spanning twenty pages of notebook paper. I have a ways to go still on it; I estimate I'm a third of the way through.

Thanks so much to everyone for their patience between updates. I always try to maintain the best quality I can, even though this is a fanfiction. We'll see where I'm at this September.

Have a great night!

Sincerely,
