    Been a while...

    Hi folks. How are you doing? Been a while. I like to imagine in the great solar system that if FimFic I'm some trans-Neptunian object that only occasionally comes into view intermittently before wandering out to the cold antipodes of space to which I belong. Personally life has been the same. Some original writing. Glacial progress on Homelands, but its not dead. I'm going to be at EFNW in

    Feeling better. Also, an interview.

    So my temperature is almost back to normal and I feel a lot better. Hopefully in a month or two I can get an antibody test and find out if that was C19 or just flu. Anyway, either way, doing better.

    I'm also going to be doing an interview for the midair pony faire on twitch. It'll be on Horizons, Homelands, and Worldbuilding in general.

    C19, cons, and other stuff.

    So 2020 sucks. It just sucks. I'm sick with something and waiting on a C19 test. Hopefully it's just a flu or some junk.
    But there is something good happening on the 25th. Ponyfest Online is a discord con and I'm going to be holding an hour long discussion on character creation, evolution and development.

I'd like to thank everyone. · 3:06pm Dec 22nd, 2014

Hi. I just wanted to thank people for reading my story. It hasn't been a good week, or month, or year really. Work hasn't gotten better. My student debt hasn't even been chipped at. Even progress on horizons has slowed to a crawl. Regardless of all of that, having all of you as readers has really... helped me. It's one of the good things in my life. Many of you helped me out with donations, without which I probably wouldn't have made it. Others helped me out with criticism to help improve my writing and me. So I want to thank everyone and I hope that once the new year starts, things will get better.

Because like Spider Jerusalem said: "The future is an inherently good thing, and we move into it one winter at a time. Things get better one winter at a time. So if you're going to celebrate something, then have a drink on this: the world is, generally and on balance, a better place to live this year than it was last year. [he pulls out a Frost-Biter 7-K snow cannon] For instance: I didn't have this gun last year."

Hope you have happy holidays and a good one... whatever that one may be.

It's always been a pleasure to read your work

Happy holidays to you aswell Somber!
Hope things turn around for you. :heart:

I discovered Fallout Equestria in February 2014, and mlp fanfics, I was amazed by all the word building and the dept of the characters. then, two weeks later, I discovered Project Horizon, and I was blown away at how you managed to expend in that same universe, and made an even better work then Kkat. Sens that time, I have been impress by your dedication of in your work, that in the end is a hobby, that you are passionately invested in, all for the pleasure of your readers. I admire you and your passion, and you have shown me the importances of a well planed story. You have inspired me to practice my writing skills, and practice my English. I am hoping one day to become a graphic novel artist, and your f.o.e.: p.h. as help better understand the narrative structure of a good story. I wish you the best of luck in you writing carrier, that your life go better for you, and I'm always looking to the next chapter.
good luck and thank you

I don't know how long I've been reading horizons, but I think I started my Junior year of highschool, I'm into college now, haven't missed an update and i've loved the story the whole way. I had this rule in highschool, on a school night I would skim past every update, and wait until tomarrow to read it, to make sure I actually got some sleep. Unless it was horizons, that was my rule. I would read Horizons no matter what. Thats how much I love this story. You might remember on Equestria daily when I said that I'd be more sad when this story ends than when the fandom ends. That's not true, I don't know if I'll be sad, I mean I definitely will, but I have a feeling the ending will be so epic that I'll be more accepting than anything. Hopefully the fandom ends as well as I'm sure horizons will. Sorry if this isn't well written haha I'm on my phone. I guess what I'm trying to say though is it doesn't feel right to thank us without us thanking you. So thank you, for an epic story and epic characters.

It's been an interesting reads.

Thank you for the stories and have a great festive seasons.:heart:

Happy holidays, Somber! :duck:

I usually dislike posting songs outside music threads, but your blog reminded me of this:

Now shaddup and just keep writing! :trollestia:

I believe that I should thank you as well then. I hadn't been there since the beginning of PH I admit , as I started reading when you were around chapter 45 , but since then I hadn't missed an update .
I like to think that I became a better person thanks to PH ( the whole "do better" thing , maybe ? ) , and a better writter thanks to you. Hell , I might even start writting something worthy of having some readers someday.
Point is , thank you for everything Somber , happy holidays and see you next year !

Rock on.

We love you too, Somber.:twilightsmile:

Happy Holidays Somber, I'm sure next year will be better, I know it :twilightsmile:
And thank YOU for an amazing story, I enjoyed every second of it.
Merry Christmas! :heart:

Thank you Somber, and happy hollidays to you as well.

Merry Christmas Somber! I hope everything becomes better for you next year and don't worry, take your time with PH. :3

Merry Christmas Somber. Hang in there and just keep being awesome.:twilightsmile:

*Salutes.

You just keep doing what you're doing and buy yourself lots of cheap but fun things for Christmas.
