Raefire is indeed gone. He passed away this summer at the age of 27. For those of you who enjoyed and commented on his stories, thank you. He loved writing them and sharing them with the community.

Living with medical challenges since the day he was born, he often had to accept pain and physical limitations as part of his existence -- something other people often failed to

Just over two months after I started, FINALLY Night of the Shy (Revamp) Chap. 7 is FINISHED!

I am keeping it one whole chapter - so beware, this thing will be a monster. but, just think of it as two chapters in one.

I'm gonna let it sit for a day, then proofread and format it for FimFiction. Expect to see it up soon!

Happy 4th of July! I'm gonna go celebrate by blowing shit up now!

Sorry about the creepy pic in that last blog post. Decided to have some fun with the "You've been tagged!" people.

Anyways, as mentioned in the last blog post, Night of the Shy (Revamp) Chapter 7 is coming along nicely - 7,644 words into it now, but obviously didn't hit the "end of May" mark. I feel like Valve when it comes to release dates, honestly...

So I've been tagged....

But I won't play. Ha ha! Going against the grain...

In the meantime - yeah, as I figured, chap. 7 of Night of the Shy (Revamp) isn't done yet. But I've hit that writing groove and I'm now 7,043 words into it. I'll say now, hopefully before the end of June. Again, can't make any promises.

So all the pieces are finally falling into place on this chapter now... 4,316 words into it. Again, I'd love to say before the end of May, but that might not be likely...I'm hopeful, however.

Night of the Shy (Revamp) chapter 7 is definitely starting to come along now, though I still can't offer a definitive finishing time. Hopefully before the end of May, unless I end up writing two whole chapters like I did with 3 & 4. Anyways, here's a roundup of all the samples (which may be slightly altered) from the new chapter - plus two new samples!

So, thanks to the help from Golden Vision, the revised Family & Friends was accepted to Equestria Daily: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/04/story-family-friends.html.

Your words on it are therapy for me, considering what
