First of all, apologies to my fans (all three of you) who've been waiting for more regular updates. Life has been … distracting over the summer, and I will certainly try to do better this fall. I still have one story, Diamond and the Rough, that I hope to finish before the year ends.

Okay, so I'm putting this out there in the hopes that someone can offer some assistance.

Made it back home from BronyCon. I had a blast, save for a case of dry heaves right before boarding the bus to Baltimore on Thursday. That was ... unpleasant. Still, at least I front-loaded all bad stuff then and there. I shared a room with http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Ponibius and http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Comma-Kazie with much shenanigans to be had. Hopefully, next year we'll be joined by our co-conspirator, http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Chengar+Qordath

Tomorrow I'm getting on a bus for BronyCon. I'm very much looking forward to it, and to seeing my friends and fellow fans. I've been almost bouncing off the walls Pinkie-like for the last few days, hoping it'll reinvigorate my writing enthusiasm. Then the cruel irony/karma god saw my good spirits and decided 'we can't have that!' So I saw Equestria Daily put up the the descriptions for some upcoming episodes ... aaaand good mood is gone. I swear, one episode looks so cliched, so awful that I'm

So, just got back from seeing Captain America: Civil War. And it was amazing. I remember reading Marvel's original Civil War event. It was one of the first major comic events I read (having just got into comics) and ... yeah, it wasn't that good. Kinda the opposite. Partly because the pro-Registration side was, as Linkara observed, demonized throughout the series and most of the tie-ins, and in the end they were the winners and--according to remarks by the writers--were meant to be the right

I struggled a lot with my thoughts about this episode and what it means for our favorite prismatic pegasus. I listened in to Brony analysts talking about it, saw the recap on Equestria Daily and frankly? The defenses for this episode all boil down to: "Well, hazing and teasing is normal in the military and other tight-knit groups ergo it's okay and it only looks harsh if you're not part of the group."

Happy New Years!

As a final present from 2015, enjoy the second chapter of "Storm on the Prairie" and the start of two new stories ("Diamond and the Rough" and "Hearth's Warming Swap") both also set in the Dashverse. As you can guess, each story involves an exploration of the rest of the Dashverse Mane Six (Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy respectively), their relationship with Rainbow Dash and how they diverge from their show-canon selves.

Just posted a new story, a sequel to "Friendship is Empathy." Where that story dealt with the episode "The Mysterious Mare Do Well," this one addresses "What About Discord?" in light of the talk Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash had in FiE.

Please read and review!

I would still put "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" as the worst episode of MLP:FiM but today's episode, "What About Discord?" is certainly a top contender for the number two spot.

How do you make John DeLancie not funny? It takes a lot of effort. When I asked my friends this question, they pointed me to episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation Seasons 1-2 and Star Trek: Voyager. That's a pretty damning statement. Watch SF Debris for more on THAT count.

Warning! Readers beware, you're in for spoilers!

Happy Nightmare Night one and all! Those of you paying close attention might have noticed a pattern in the big adventure plot stories of Dashverse. If not, allow me to let you all in:

"Rainbooms and Royalty" occurs in Summer, celebrates the Summer Sun Celebration and features Nightmare Moon.
"Hot Heads, Cold Hearts and Nerves of Steel" occurs in Winter, celebrates Hearth's Warming Eve and features King Sombra.
