You might not have noticed I was gone. But for the past week, because of my treacherous computer devices and my own negligence, I was locked out of my account. Big thanks to knighty for helping me get back in.
That's not much of a title, but I couldn't resist the five-point alliteration.
The latest issue of Friends Forever released earlier this week, starring Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer in her first starring role in the comics. And for reasons which will quickly become apparent it held a particular interest for me.
First off, I just posted a little bit extra, a little bonus chapter. Second, it’s the end of a major storyline, so come beneath the doohicky for some ruminations.
The Education of Clover the Clever has just updated, with one of the biggest chapters yet.
This chapter marks the end of the "Practical Applications" storyline. A climactic chapter to a climactic storyline, which took a very different approach from the entire rest of The Education, as our two stubborn little ponies threaten to butt heads until one or both of them cracks.
For real this time.
Hey, remember that time I wrote just one chapter in first-person point of view from Clover's perspective?
Yeah. The other shoe just dropped.
Chapter 15 of The Education of Clover the Clever, part four of the Practical Applications arc is now up. There is one more chapter left to go.
Today is July 7th. One week from now is my first published story's third birthday.
It still isn't dead, though I will admit that it often looks like it is 
But after taking a break to chase after another story that ended up taking a very long time, I am back to work on the remaining chapters of the ongoing story arc.
Oh dear. I just drew the connection between Starlight Glimmer and Clover's college roommate-turned-communist messiah, Chocolate Bunnies. They even both have the double-trochee name, which means I can set them to the tune of the TMNT theme song:
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Starlight Glimmer, Chocolate Bunnies,
Communistic Ponies! Pony Power!
First off: Happy Halloween Nightmare Night! May you all have candy and terror in equal measure.
Fillies and gentlecolts: it lives. The Education of Clover the Clever continues!
Well, from my perspective it never went on hiatus. I just switched from telling one portion of the over-story to another portion. Now that the other portion is done, I'm back to working with Clover, and the time has come for her to show Cambridle all the good her teacher can do.
Ahem. Star Swirl, if you please:
"These aren't just regular old shoggoths. They're improved shoggoths! More compact, twice as efficient, 450% cuddlier, and 98% less likely to turn against us and lay waste to our civilization."
-The Education of Clover the Clever, chapter 11.
IT #¤=(#/¤?/¤=?#¤/S
...
There are no more words.
There is only Star Swirl.
There is only The Great Correction.
(Actually there are 10k more words.)
IT ESCALATES.
The second part of Peer Review has come.
None of us have any idea what is going on anymore. I think the earth has reversed its spin, and the laws of physics are warping over time.
All that we know is that it is here, and it is not finished yet.
IT BEGINS.
After three and a half months (I know, I know), I'm back from the wilderness with the next installment of the adventures in schoolwork of Clover Cordelia and Star Swirl the Bearded. And it is the craziest Celestia-damned thing there has ever been.
We have reached peak Star Swirl. I must report that I do not believe these levels of Star Swirls to be sustainable.
Seriously, it does not get any more Star Swirl than this.
So, I finally got to see Rainbow Rocks, now that it's aired on TV. I wasn't going to watch it via those "recorded in a movie theater" videos on youtube, so for the past month I've been doing my best to avoid spoilers, with variable success. But now I've seen it, and I really liked it, but there's one very thing that is, predictably enough, very important to me.
Star Swirl the Bearded banished the Sirens to the other world.
Breaking radio silence here just to say that I'm still alive, but things have been extremely writers block-y here for the past month, and I've mostly been trying to figure out why that is and what to do about it. But you all know how difficult that is, I'm sure.
So, as you've probably noticed, the new chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever went up a few days ago, yay! It's the largest chapter so far, beating the previous largest chapter by some 1400 words, and there's a lot in there I love.
But damn, was that exhausting.
I just wanted to inform you of my progress with the upcoming (real) chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever: it is making progress, slow but nevertheless real progress, and at this point I actually believe that it is one of the best yet. The best, and the craziest O_O
So I'm sitting here writing a comedy story, as I am wont to do... when suddenly a newly introduced minor character shows up. You know this character, but there isn't much there to go on. And I'm not sure what this character should do, until he opens his mouth and WEIGHTY EMOTIONAL DRAMA comes out. And I'm not sure how to respond to that. And Clover isn't sure how to respond to that. And I'm not sure how Clover would respond to that.
Mares and gentlecolts!
Today is a special occasion. It was one year ago today that I published the first chapter of The Education of Clover the Clever, the first thing I published on FIMFiction.
Which means it's time for a BIRTHDAY PARTY
