Um, I hate to complain, but what happened to the logout gadget? Could somepony do something about that? If you don't mind. If it's not too much trouble.

Oh, I see what you did. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.

For Beauty Is Where You Find It, the next chapter's proceeding nicely, but things will be getting a little dark in the background. Those frakkin' Rus just will not go away.

Congrats, you get two updates today.
My Little Arkastin is still getting rolling; Beauty Is Where You Find It has most of my attention.
Have fun, but not too much.

The next chapter's coming up, so get ready. Still a lot to set up, so please be patient. We can't be brilliant all the time.

Just to be sure everyone knows, I'm not going to be doing any updates while the techies are busy. Losing story updates? Do Not Want. Also do not have ... yet.
That is all. "You can go about your business. Move along."

The next chapter's coming, but I've got to divide my time between two stories, and working over-time. It hasn't "taken off" yet, but I have the feeling it will. Just got to find the bucking runway...

I'm surprised I've got 16 chapters already. When I started, I didn't think it would go this far, truth be told. Still a lot to set up and tell, and I don't think you'll be disappointed. Thanks for either sticking with me from the start, or liking what you saw and staying on.

Verdigris has a lot to work through, obviously. Does he find it at the Aerie, or does it get worse? We'll see.

No, no punchin'. We save that for shindigs in the 'verse. No, wait, wrong frame of mind. (one serious head-shaking, complete with bizarre sound effects later)
Whoa, I hate when that happens.
Anyway, the Rus are back; as I said once before, I go where the story takes me, and it's taken a serious twist. The funny thing about them, I never see them coming. They just pop up and start demanding attention, much like Pinkie -- will you stop jumping on my brain? I'm writing it!

You'll notice the Romance tag; should have been there when I posted this last chapter, but I was distracted.
And no, it's not what you might be thinking. Not that, either.
And just now the system told me Slice-of-Life and Adventure are conflicting. Why didn't it do that at the start?
