Okay, upcoming con appearance note! Just a reminder that I'm going to be hawking books and talkin' ponies (if they'll let me!) at Intervention this year from August 23 to the 25th. Any of y'all's who want to charm and befuddle me, stop by the Couscous Collective table while you're there. See you in Rockville!

And such a con it was! I don't even want to start listing all the folks I met for the first time (finally assigning faces to persons I have heretofore known as icons and collections of words) because I am going on very, very little sleep and I am bound to forget somepony and risk bruising some feelings.

...may be interested to note that my would-be nemesis Bradel has posted a sweet little Luna monologue in the same continuity entitled "Princess Luna Likes Coffee". Bradel writes my favorite sort of Luna, and does it well.

Hey, reader-types. With a lot of my creative energies going to my webcomic and its rather intimidating Kickstarter drive of late, things are a little sparse on the Pony front. Just to remind you that I exist and that I haven't forgotten about you, let me hammer down a few thoughts about Cadance, and why she has become in my eyes, if not best pony, certainly one of my
