I've just posted the new version of "Who Am I?", and despite splitting the original episode into two chapters, the second alone is much bigger than the original. It just shows that I really did have a lot more that I needed to tell in that story. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint this time around.

No excuses - I screwed up the "Who Am I?" chapter badly. That's why this story is going to remain marked "Incomplete" because I will be taking it down soon. I need to let it sit for a while and try to rewrite it properly. Sorry to disappoint everyone.

As I said in my previous blog, I'm quite fond of my Cogs character, and I felt he could do with a bit more character development, so I wrote a prequel for "Change of Life". This also gave more background to the main story also, and I had considered trying to insert it as the new first chapter instead. However, to make it flow correctly as one story, some of the other chapters would have needed some editing to eliminate inconsistencies such as calling the character Cogs or Zevan, and

In the latter half of 2013, I discovered the FimFiction website. I might have found it sooner if I hadn't been so engrossed in other non-pony projects. However I was quickly inspired to write a story of my own after reading a handful of other stories, and that turned out to be "Change of Life". As I mentioned in the author's notes, I credited another author's story as inspiration for the background in which I wrote. That was one of but two changeling related stories that I had read up until

I had a helpful reader point out that I had misnamed a pony in "Change of Life" - Moonlit Dreams instead of Moonlit Haze. I subsequently discovered that I had also been calling Square Deal Renovations, Square Dreams instead. I must have had Dreams on the brain! I think that only two or three chapters escaped having an edit to fix these, so if you have downloaded this story, you might want to get the corrected versions.

If you regret that my "Change of Life" story is complete, fear not! I do intend to write more about Cogs and his family as inspiration strikes me. The epilogues in the final chapter merely wrap up the story arc and give a taste for what will happen in the future.

I will be having Twilight Sparkle making an appearance in an upcoming chapter, but there's one thing that is bothering me, and that's the time elapsed between the Canterlot wedding and when she ascended to alicorn status. I'm unable to decide how many weeks to allow, so I would appreciate any suggestions. The length isn't exactly critical, but I do want it to be consistent.

Those who know my user name from other places may be surprised to find me here, but frankly I was a fan of animations from a very young age, and becoming a fan of MLP: FiM is not so surprising. Although I have written many stories mostly based in a universe of my own creation, "Change of Life" is my first venture into writing a pony fic. However, as with all writing, it is a matter of getting inspiration first, whether it be a novel idea, or influenced by someone else's. This time
