So, the Ministry Of Image printing house has a new survey up! Can you guess who is on it?

https://forms.gle/p7Lnap4AcZnjgZpn9

I am absurdly excited. I doubt we'll get printed, but it would be amazing if we did! I would love to hold a copy of Starlight Over Detrot in my hands one day.

It would help if you could toss a vote on this for Starlight!

Starlight Over Detrot is done and now I'm intent on writing something else. I've got the outline for a romance novel. A non-pony romance novel, mind. That being said, I wanna write a few more pony things while I do that. I've got a heap of ideas for an 'Epilogue Part Four' for Starlight which happens a few years after the events of Epilogue Part Three and just sorta ties everything off.

Okay, so the final main-story chapter of Starlight Over Detrot is *now* in the editorial pipe-line. It's headed to the people who do the good stuff.

The editors, being the geniuses they are, will likely have it finished VERY soon and I'll pump it out to everybody. Is this the end of Starlight Over Detrot?

Dear lord, shoot me in the face.

All the years I've been writing this and I say to myself "Yeah, gonna finish it tonight!" then the characters get to talking. Talking. Just back and forth. GRAH!

Anyway, I want ya'll to know I am not dead. I've sent the latest chapter to our dear friends, the editors, who've stayed with me through this hideously long hall. The last couple months have obviously been the months from Hell for...everyone.

Hardy finally gets that drink he deserves!

A truly excellent person by the name of Spaniard-Kiwi has managed to translate both stories for us. I don't speak Spanish, but if anyone does and would like to send them feed-back, the links to the translations are in the descriptions of those stories.

As to Starlight...yes, I am still working on it. I've got around 5k written. Not as much as I hoped for, but more than I think I expected considering the events of the last month.

My dad died today. It was quick and in his sleep. He died surrounded by people who loved him and with friends. I got to talk to him three days ago, but he fell asleep and never regained consciousness.

I don't think he believed he would die with friends.

What a stupid month.

My dad had a pulmonary embolism yesterday. He'll be dead this week, odds on. I can't go down to see him right now because Covid-19 is hugely spiking in my state and getting on an airplane is asking to give it to him, my 60 year old half-sister who is taking care of him, and my 70 year old mother.

So.

Starlight Over Detrot will be finishing ever so soon. I just sent another chapter off to the editors. The one I am now working on is...maybe the last. I sincerely hope it's the last. If it's not, I won't be surprised, but I'm trying to keep the faffing about to a minimum...which, speaking as the farking queen of faffing about is a bit of a task.

The awesome artist AshleyArcticFox created a brand new piece of art for Starlight. This is her fantastic rendition of Juniper Shores.

Here is a link to her Deviant Art. https://www.deviantart.com/ashley-arctic-fox

Alright, I am returned from seeing my dad. He's not in great shape at the moment, but he's alive and he's authorized me to share a picture. He may do us a reading for Starlight Over Detrot in a few days if he's feeling alright.

He had a big beard and thick black hair through my whole life. This was a huge change.

My god, I am so sorry everybody. This bastard took MONTHS to finished. I had no idea the entire world was going to catch fire between this chapter and the last one.

I finally sat down this morning and said to myself, "You can sleep when you're done." and four thousand words later, I'm headed to bed.

For the editors...Yes, I'm aware there are typos. Please by gentle and use lots of lube. I was not fully conscious when writing the ending.

I really enjoyed this little short and think it deserves a boost. Fair warning, it's a boot to the feels.

The generosity and kindness of bronies is truly something to behold.

I've got enough money, now, to go down and see my dad before he dies and spend some time with him. Within a week, a bunch of ponies donated to make that happen and now there's plenty and I'm going to buy tickets and set up a hotel this week. I honestly don't know what I'd do without all of you.

Got an e-mail from my dad today. The cancer, which we thought was in remission, has become very aggressive. He's got 6 months or less to live.

I'm going to try to keep writing, but I'm in Wisconsin where the Supreme Court just over-turned all the 'stay at home' orders and the state is now slammed wide open. There's not a great outcome to this. Lots of people are going to die.

The chapter is in the hands of the editors.

I am *so* sorry that this bastard took this long. I mean, mercy, this was a disaster of a chapter to finish. Realizing half-way through that you haven't built up a villain enough to really get a good payoff is distressing. I could have cut this short and Propana wouldn't have been near as interesting, but giving her an extra chapter has made what's about to happen worth it, I think.

As some of you might or might not be aware, I work in a call center.

It's not glamorous, but it pays the bills most of the time.

Last night, I got a phone call from a woman who just wanted to change her dental appointment. She was very elderly and more than anything, very, very lonely. Mercy, she was lonely.

For anyone who is dealing with Covid-19, I am so sorry. For anyone dealing with a disease which might need eventual or even temporary hospitalization, I am so sorry. For anyone who is injured in the next few months, I am so sorry.

Right now, and for some time to come, things will be poor.
