    How Many Times Does Trixie Actually Say "I"?

    One of Trixie's best-known traits in the fandom is that she speaks in the third person all the time. But does she really? Turns out, no one has ever counted the times she says "I." Until now...

    Hat Man Reviews: "Haze" by Bandy!

    Haze is a story that is filled with big ideas: Cloud empires. Flying earth ponies. Ancient religions. Superpower-inducing fungi. Unfortunately, much like the mushroom-munching ponies in this story, this story might be biting off more than it can handle…

"The Iron Horse" Ch. 60 Will Come Out Next Week · 12:17am May 14th, 2017

Yeah, delays suck, I know. And it especially sucks that this has been the 2nd delay in a row. Well, the last one got delayed due to my grandfather's passing, and on that note, I'd like to thank everyone again for their kind words and patience at that time.

This time around, it was a combination of several factors that bogged me down, including work stuff, health stuff, and nondescript personal stuff. Still, I hate delays and I know y'all do too. Sorry about that. :ajsleepy:

The good news is that I have this next week off from work, so I should be able to get a lot of work done, maybe even post some more bonus content or a story review or two. And, if it's any consolation, I think you will really like the next chapter, and good things come to those who wait. :ajsmug:

Ah, sorry, The Hat Man.

Fair enough. Just take care of yourself and good luck! :twilightsmile:

4531632 Well, I considered hunkering down and trying to get it written in one day, but to release on schedule would give you and the other editors and Greenfinger a lot less time than usual. That wouldn't have been fair to you guys and would have just resulted in a rushed chapter, and this next chapter is too important to rush.

Thanks for that. :)

I was actually just thinking about that today. I was kind of worried I wouldn't get the email notification cuz my net's on the fritz (Case and point, a false error message made me double post). Enjoy your week off!

Don't worry, we know RL comes first. You just write when you want to. This is not a duty with an airdate to respect. Take the time you need.
As they say it so well, time not important, only life important.

4532031 That's very kind. But I really love writing this story, and getting commentary and feedback from all the wonderful readers who follow it really brings me a lot of joy. Even if it's not a duty, I just like to uphold my own standard of one update every two weeks. :twilightsmile:

Wow, things have been busy indeed in real life, we just wondered today how things were going and just caught up in the news feed to read this post. :applejackconfused:
So long as things get better, right?

4541119 Exactly. And the chapter should come out either tomorrow or Tuesday. :yay:

4541352 :pinkiehappy: looking forward to 002's.... Assistance.
