I'm not gonna lie, I'm having a bit of trouble carrying on Eris's Riddle. I'm certainly trying, and I'm setting aside time from my other projects to work on it, but the words aren't coming as easy as while writing Harmony's Wrath. Back in August, September, October last year, I'd sit down, write a whole chapter in a day, sleep on it, edit it the following morning, post it and move on to the next one. I was just really into the mood of the story, and was fascinated to see what would happen next.

D'OH WELL

So after announcing the end of my hiatus and publishing a chapter, I... announce another hiatus. I'm really sorry about this, but I've been working myself to death lately, and I just need to slow down for a while. I might scribble a paragraph or two for the next chapter now and then (and occasionally do some proof-reading of the existing material), but generally speaking, don't wait up. To put an exact date on it, my last exam is on the 14th of May.

1. Celestia is bad at videogames
2. Luna is useless
3. Everyone is a moron
4. Changelings are Team Rocket
5. How does this country function

Continuing stories is hard when you've forgotten how they're supposed to go. D:

Updates still on the way, but I have begun work on Eris's Riddle again! And we can finally get on our way out of the eight weeks or so we've spent in frozen ancient Hippaea. I really didn't anticipate the mountain of work that assaulted me at the back end of term - I was aiming to be finishing this story about now! Anyway, work on the story is resuming and updates should start flowing soon.

I regret to announce that due to the myriad of busy things going on in my life right now, there's absolutely no way I'm going to finish Eris's Riddle by April. Basically, I'm shelving it for a couple of weeks while I wade through my two other creative projects (one of which is coming to a conclusion in the next month or two) and a pile of exams. I have a chapter half-written that I'm going to finish and post (possibly even today or tomorrow) but after that I'm not going to touch it until more

So, at long last the winners were announced! I suppose it shouldn't surprise me that the board of judges was full of Equestria Daily pre-readers and Equestria After Dark mods. I could pass some cynical comments about the administration of the assorted pony websites, but I won't, seeing as I'm probably just a little too used to the ad-hoc nature of the tumblr pony community. Anyway, the choices of winners add more weight to something that's been hanging at the back of my mind for a little while

This artist, he draws anthros exactly how I imagined them in Harmony's Wrath/Eris's Riddle - don't meant to spam huge images but like... whoa.
