Hey everyone!

Usually I go through my notices and thank everyone individually for watching my stories, but with a new chapter release, I try to give it a few days to let the influx die down a bit. Unfortunately, it looks like I lost most of the notices when I checked them (not sure how that works, but oh well), so I'll just say it here en masse:

Darkpen never fails to deliver. Check it out at the source, or just scroll down.

Granted, it's in Russian, but still!

The illustrious leliil contacted me a while ago, asking to translate From the Mouths of Fillies for a compilation he wanted to make of various Brony short stories. I said yes, and then promptly forgot about it until just the other day when he alerted me that it was done.

They even provided their own art for it:

I'm still alive, still working, and still editing. Road Not Taken: Going Home is done being proofread, so once I have the cover art, I'll submit it ASAP.

Or you could say, it'll be up .... post-haste.

In the meantime, I thought I'd pass along some music. It's not pony-related, but still too good to not share:

This is why.

Also, a quick update for "Going Home." Proofreading is done, so all that's left is the cover art--and with finals over, that should be coming along in due time.

The proofreading on "Road Not Taken: Going Home" is almost done. There are just a few things left to address, which I'm dealing with while I type this. After that, all that I'll be waiting on is the cover art.

That may take a bit to come in, given that the artist is slugging her way through her finals (and if you're reading this, no rush! School first, then art), but in the meantime, I'll be refocusing on "Changes" and "What's in a Name" alternatingly.

FLEE, DERPY! FLEEEEEEE!

Well, goodness. That was quite a gap in productivity. Thank you all for your endless patience.

I'll keep things brief, since you probably only want to read walls of text if it's a story update: both of my big projects are still alive. And no, not 'Comma-got-to-it' alive, but 'still-being-written-and-updated' alive. I intend to update less sporadically, with everything on my end pretty much stable for the foreseeable future.

As I begin my 25th revolution around the sun, I’m inclined to think back to the very beginning. I was born at an early age, you see, and after the trials and tribulations of labor, the doctors congratulated my mom on a job well done. She turned to them, suspicious of whether they had pulled a fast one and were trying to dupe her with an oversized raisin.

Did you ever want more Sunbeam Sparkle in your story lineup?

No?

.... seriously, you didn't?

Well, you're going to get it anyway. Chen's next contribution to Alternate Universe Month--which does NOT take place in the same universe as Road Not Taken, so you get two Alternate Universes for the price of one month--gives us a fascinating look into the mind of Celestia's wartime vizier.

As the name implies, we get a look at how Sparkler's life would have gone if she hadn't been adopted by Derpy. It's a very nice little story that gives us a glimpse of a life that's certainly a lot grimmer, but not without it's bright spots. Give it a read, because the story deserves it.
