Writing progress update.

Since a lot of folks have expressed interest in the various sequels and future projects I have going, I thought I'd post an update showing how they're all coming along.

First and foremost, The Spark to Light a Candle has chapters 8, 9, 10, and 11 at the editor. He's currently working a job, going to school full time, AND working an internship, so it is not at all his fault at it's piled up like that. But he has said he'll try to get at least one chapter out during spring break in a couple of weeks, so you all have that to look forward to.

Next, for the fans of Honey Pie will be happy to know that I currently have 11k words worth of sequel written. I feel like I'm a little past half way on that, it's turned into a pretty long story, but it deals with all of the mane 6, plus an additional and unexpected challenge for poor Mister Changeling.

For those who liked Brotherhood there are two related fics underway. One follows the present day story, and delves into the relationships between the alicorns. I've got a little over a thousand words written on that, but I've barely started, so it'll be quite a while. The other goes back into the past and gets into the details of what drove Artemis to become The Black Stallion. It's just over 11k words at the moment, and is about 2/3 of the way through. I do also have some ideas scribbled down for a sequel or more properly a prequel to Immortal Blood, but no actual writing yet.

I'm also working on a sequel to A Lighter Shade of Gray, which will develop the relationship between Connie and Grayheart, and also dive into King Sombra's past and how he ended up where and what he was when we first met him. That's currently at 3k words, but is on the back burner a bit, since the Changeling Pie story is taking up most of my writing time right now.

That's it for sequels, but not it for stories I'm working on. I tend to always have a dozen or so going at any given time, and I jump around as the mood strikes me. That's the method that works best for me. Anyhow, I have two things in the rough draft stages that will be posted soon, both about Luna. One is a short, rather poetic piece about her time exiled to the moon, and one is a long story that explores some thoughts I have about identity and changing magic, and a rather different take on Luna than I usually see. (They both need some editing, and I want the exile story in particular to be as perfect as I can get it, as it's for a contest.)

And then there's the far future epic adventure, the cracked Pinkie Pie based Choose Your Own Adventure story, the Celestia/Big Mac shipfic, the Luna/Rarity shipfic, and the kind of cracked thing about Celestia and a gender changing spell gone slightly wrong, and the hardly started Twilestia thing... So yeah, I have no end of stories in the works.
