Update Note: Iron Horse Ch 19 · 3:10am Jul 18th, 2015

Just a little head's up, everyone: the next chapter of "The Iron Horse" is coming up very soon. The chapter is "done," but after talking to my editor, it needs some heavy rewrites. He says it has some really good stuff, but some parts just weren't working, and I think he's right. But I think you'll enjoy the new entry when it's finished. It may be a nightmare this night, but I have some tricks up my sleeves and I think you'll find it a treat.

On Princess Celestia as an Antagonist · 5:00am Jul 7th, 2015

First of all, if you follow "The Iron Horse" and haven't read up through the end of "Giggle at the Ghost in the Machine, Part 4," then you might want to wait before reading this. If you have, then carry on.


So, down to business! Let's talk about our favorite giant-ass sunny horse demi-goddess, Princess Celestia, and the role she's played in the story so far.

Incoming Update! 7/5/15 · 4:30pm Jul 5th, 2015

Just a little heads up for anyone who might want to know: "The Iron Horse" will be updating today. And more good news is that another chapter should follow tomorrow or the day after!

I just have to do some rewrites on the next chapter, so I can't do a double update, but at least y'all won't have to wait long for more robot pony.

Murica! · 3:37pm Jul 4th, 2015

Happy birthday, America! Especially lately, I'm rather proud to be from this country. Despite being animated in Canada, I think Pinkie's pretty happy too. Heck, Canada Day was only a few days ago anyway!

Oh, and "The Iron Horse" is almost ready for another update. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Depends on how heavily I need to edit it.

The New Cover is Chosen! · 4:15am Jun 23rd, 2015

Just a general announcement to folks here. After getting a surprisingly large amount of feedback, all quite helpful, by the way, a new cover has been chosen. The votes are in and I tend to agree with the voters on this one: Option 3 was the clear winner, and so "The Iron Horse" now has a new cover! (The original post can be found here.)

Possible new cover for "The Iron Horse" · 3:02am Jun 19th, 2015

Hello dear readers! I'm currently thinking of replacing my current cover for "The Iron Horse" and going with something without text. I figure having the title isn't really necessary in this case, since it appears with the entry anyway. Here are some options. I'd genuinely like to know what everyone thinks is the most appealing version or if you prefer the current one.

So Sick of Humans... · 11:40pm Jun 16th, 2015

This blog post will be more than a little bit ranting, so please be advised. If you're a big HiE ("Human in Equestria") fan, you might want to skip this. Not that I have terribly many followers right now who might read it anyway, but what the heck, I feel the need to rant to get my creative juices flowing today. :twilightsheepish: Here goes...

Teeny Tiny Turing Test · 7:30am Jun 4th, 2015

Just a minor thing here: I thought I might start using Turing Test in forum responses more often, so I'm trying out more bite-sized forms. Feel free to download the image and use it yourself!

Might even make a tinier version. Now if only I could make it an animated gif...

In the most recent chapter of "The Iron Horse: Everything's Better with Robots!" we see Twilight Sparkle wake up from a nightmare and fly outside to calm herself. She meets Gadget, who also confesses to having a nightmare. The two of them talk, they make up from their earlier fight, and they resolve to try harder to help Turing Test.
