It's been almost a year. It's been a troubling year, a very frustrating year. I spent so long away from here, that I've found it hard to get back into things. Much of this time was spent attempting to get another editor, after my first had to bail on me about ten months ago.

In my quest to elevate The Equestria Chronicles up from being just a mere story into something more, I have begun the task of commissioning the artwork that will be required to flesh out the world and bring it to life for the readers. For the record, each of the five Acts that will constitute the Sun and Moon series will have two large, fully-detailed illustrations, in addition to whatever supplementary pictures I believe to be required. Naturally the work is not well-known enough to

Recently, I started a discussion thread (read it here if it's still up) trying to determine if there was any way to objectively determine whether or not a piece of fiction was well-written. Many of the responses held to the idea that the field is far too complex for any set of hard-and-fast rules to constructed by which an
