I know I've been posting a slew of blogs over the past couple of days... but come on, what is happening around here?! First, I hit my anniversary, then I get to 2,000 views. As if that wasn't enough, I got to put another X in my bucket list. Antecedents is my first story to make it anywhere close to the top of the Popular Stories list, let alone be on it in the first place. I'm somehow inching my way closer towards the Feature

Well, I just got done formatting the introduction to my next release and what do I notice? I somehow hit 2,000 views. Huh... Somehow, I conned people into thinking I write well 2,000 times. Should I be proud of that? I think I should be proud of that. Okay, I'm proud.

One year ago today, I decided to take the leap and sign up for a FiMFiction account. This day also marked the inception of The Griffon War: A Soldier's Memoirs and then entire Skyfall saga. When I took a deep breath, swallowed back my nervousness, and uploaded that first chapter, I never expected anyone to care enough to read it. I mean, ponies with guns? Pretty farfetched... But for some reason, it exploded. Then came one sequel—and then another, and two side stories on a long, healthy

Hellooo viewers!

Firstly, thanks a ton for making Chat with the Cast 2 such a rousing success! It beat out the first one in terms of participants, questions, and views, so I'm obviously doing something right. Now I'd like to just take a quick moment to address a couple questions I get asked a few times through messages and comments.

Can I use your characters in my stories or in cameos?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Chat with the Cast, heroes and villains edition! My name is Dusk Quill, and I will be your ever-endearing host once more as we bring in a few of our favorite characters to talk to, harass, laugh with, love, loathe, and generally make them feel awkward (I'm looking at you, Midnight). You have your own characters who want to ask somepony a question or leave a comment? Bring 'em in! As before, the rules are simple: there are no rules—anything goes! No

Our beloved protagonist Fleethoof got his name up on the OC Fanficiton Library banner! Not an update or important in any way, it just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Okay, I'll make it an update too. Everfree is just waiting on its cover to be finished and it'll be released. I'm also working on a title for the romance story, so that'll be coming (hopefully) soonish.

Happy Independence Day to all my American readers out there! I hope you enjoyed your holiday and gave thanks for the freedoms we are so lucky to enjoy. But this is more than just a blog about the holiday. Today, Skyfall: Treason reached its conclusion, and I am left with a decision to make: where do I go from here? I already know how the next installment of the Skyfall saga will go, and I have two smaller side stories in the plot before that comes out. However, I do need to go back and

And I'm back on my feet again! Thanks to an incredibly generous donation from my parents, my laptop has been replaced and all the restoration has been completed. I'm watching Word open up as I type this, and I couldn't be happier to be getting back to work. It takes more than a busted motherboard to take me out.

Expect a new Treason update soon—and to all those who have messaged me for proofreading in my absence, I will be on them ASAP.
