I know, I know; it's been months since my last update. But I'm still not dead, and I'm still working on my stories. I've just been busy with stuff, and also demotivated. More content is coming, so please be patient.

This has been your semi-frequent "I'm not dead" status update.

Hey, I'm not dead!

So, progress with "Lessons From Ponyville" isn't going as smoothly as I'd hoped. The next chapter, which was supposed to be about Deagus learning to laugh at himself, didn't turn out how I wanted, so I had to scrap it. But I put so much effort into trying to write it that I'm kinda burnt of ideas.

I need some help with writing the next few chapters. So if anyone's willing to give me some ideas, I'm all ears! (You will, of course, be credited in the story)

Hello, I'm MattTOB, and I'm here with a new segment I like to call "Story Forecast".

Coming up this Thursday (my birthday), a 100% chance of a new "Hero of Harmony" chapter after a gruelling nine-month drought.

Elsewhere, partially cloudy with a chance of updates for "Lessons From Ponyville", "Graff's Inter-Dimensional Adventures", and "Twilight's Reign".

Meanwhile, the "Pinkie's Bug Surprise" drought is still going strong, although there's still a 0.1% chance of it returning.

I turn around for a second, and when I turn back, one of my stories is in the 'Popular' tab?

...I genuinely don't know what to say, other than "I'm flattered".

Here I am, just a guy who thought "Y'know what? I wanna write some stories!" And now, I'm being semi-featured on a site that I know for a fact has better authors than me?

I'm really touched.

Lessons From Ponyville will be an anthology that takes place after the events of It Takes A Village To Reform A Changeling. It's set in the same time frame as Season 5 of the actual show, so expect some cross-continuity (such as Rarity starting her Canterlot Boutique, Starlight spying from afar, etc.).
The main premise is that the Changeling characters are learning life lessons (be they about Friendship or otherwise), with a few minor twists and turns along the way.
