    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...

    Reference/Inspiration List for "Where Black Seas Lap the Shores of Dead Stars"

    Rather than litter the author's notes with references in my usual style, I thought I'd try something a little different. So, for the curious, I've made a separate blog post of all the references and allusions you might have missed!

    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…

"Reaping Rainbow" - Thanks, and sorry about the wait! · 12:31am Mar 14th, 2019

Hey everyone! First, I wanted to say thank you to all the new followers I got following the release of "Reaping Rainbow" as well as to the huge number of you who faved the story. Its success was quite unexpected, but I'm so glad people are enjoying it. Anyway, the next chapter is being worked on and will hopefully update soon. I just got a bit caught up with things in real life, but I'll get back to work. I'd hate to disappoint my readers, after all. :twilightsmile:

Just tell me it's coming and I'll be here through it all, just like with Iron Horse!

It's on its way. In fact, I made a pretty decent bit of progress tonight!

I can only imagine how long it takes to maintain the quality of 3k word chapters multiple times throughout a whole story.

I have tried writing, it takes forever!

For those waiting on a complete tag, how long do you expect this story to go?

Good question! It shouldn't be too long. Maybe another 2-3 chapters. Could go slightly longer, but nothing like the monster-sized stories I've done before.

Ah, I do hope the story picks up a little. Maybe I'm just not as much of a Terry Pratchett fan as others (while knowing a fair bit about Discworld), but I found the introductory chapters interesting but a bit dull/predictable.

Can confirm, 3k chapters are hard to write. I'm using them for my next fic, whereas I normally barely get anything to 2.5k.

Well, just wanted to get people interested in the story to start off, so naturally it just starts with exposition. Actual reaping will start next chapter.
