The old one was kinda dark looking and it had NMM in her armour, which she actually hardly wears in this story. The new one is, I think, much closer to how I try to portray her in the story, with a mien that's cooler and less sturm und drang. Plus, it's a very well-drawn picture anyway. With thanks to Krrrokozjabrra.

I'm the kind of writer that likes to plan. I've planned the structure of my story, so I know we have roughly four or five chapters to go before the timeskip. I've also got the rough outline for a sequel or two and a few sidestories even. Perhaps the most developed though, weirdly enough, is the backstory. I have a rather detailed summary of the history of Equestria from the time of the first ever alicorns right up to the modern era. Suffice to say, this backstory will probably not break to

MFW canon Equestria is less democratic than dystopia NFC Equestria.

Although to be honest, when Twilight become Acting Supreme Princess, everything probably goes on as normal. In fact, who needs princesses? Down with the monarchy!

Then again, responsibility for government might have gone to Prince Blueblood while she was out fixing things.

These past few months have been rough. Important exams, clinical depression and other stuff in real life have given me serious writer's block, amongst other general lack of energy for pretty much everything. Luckily, the skies seem clearer mentally and emotionally as well as literally with the coming Summer. I've managed to get more words down in one week than I have for over 5 months. The chapter's coming along very nicely, so don't worry. I'm sorry it's taking so long, and it might be a

This story is one of the ones that I follow that I feel are woefully under-read. It follows a young Cadence and Shining Armour as we see palace life from their eyes. Of course, they start as barely tolerating each other and only just begin to ease up. The characterisations of the two are wonderful and their roles are very intriguing. The detail put into the world-building is complex and fascinating, with original characters and relationships between the cast that are all quite flavourful. All

Story's back, tell a friend.

I have, currently, a second draft of the next chapter from my editor. I have gone through most of the edits although there's still quite a bit more to do. I was hoping to have it finished and published by the end of the week, but there is the matter of an interview for Oxford that I need to prepare for. Once again, real life has to take precedent so this is why there will be yet another small delay.

Sweet Pony Jesus, it's finally happened!

Night's Favoured Child has dethroned Sunny Skies All Day Long for the place as the highest rated story on this website.

I couldn't have done it without you guys.

PS: I just wanted a "thank you" motivator. I know you guys don't actually turn vegetables into bacon. Unless you work on a pig farm, in which case double thank you.

I am really sorry, but it seems like this is unavoidable now. It's been such a long gap between updates that I can't do anything but this.

Night's Favoured Child is now officially On Hiatus.

This is me telling you that, no, it won't have an update for a while now. I need to get things in order in the real world first before I go back to working on this. It's an important year, what with exams and university applications and high aspirations to reach.
