    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...

    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…

Next "Iron Horse" Chapter is Delayed · 3:01am Apr 15th, 2017

I'll get right to the point: I found out this morning that my grandfather passed away. He was 89 and on the wane, so it was sudden, but not totally unexpected. I'm holding up all right, but I'm making an emergency flight home to be with the family.

Between that, some work stuff I have to take care of, and all the other stuff involved with this sort of thing, there's no way I'll be able to finish this next Iron Horse chapter. It has been worked on, but it's not there yet.

Y'all can expect it next week. In the meantime, I appreciate your understanding and patience. :pinkiesmile:

Oh, I'm sorry, The Hat Man. I hope your family gathering is as good as can be expected.

Having lost both of my grandfathers suddenly last year, I completely understand Hatman. Go be with your family, and take your time.

Take as much time as you need. We'll be waiting for you when you're ready to come back.

I understand. Hey, there are more important things in life than stories. My Dad is gone, and my Mom is in her 90's. I'll be flying out to visit her this month, and maybe tidy up the garden at her place since she can't do that so well any more. Cherish your family while you can.

I'm so sorry for your loss. All my sympathies to you and your family.

Well... not what I expected when I woke back up a 5:20 in the morning, but still, I understand. I send my condolences.

Damn, sorry to hear about that, my sympathies and I hope everything else goes well.

Hey, thanks for the kind words and the patience, folks, I appreciate it. I'm about to go catch my ride to the airport, but I wanted to take a quick moment to say thanks.

Y'all take care and enjoy the Season 7 premier! :yay:

Hey man you take your time. I know how hard it is- I lost my grandfather when I was 13. It's rough. You take all the time you need to grieve, okay? We're all behind you, Hatsie. I'd give you a hug, brother, but you're so far away​.

"Good night, Grandaddy. I love you."

:ajsleepy:

I'm sorry, The Hat Man. Take care and take the time that you need.

Oh man that's really sad

Oh, man, I´m sorry to hear. Take all the time you need, y´hear me?

4496928 no problem, take care and I hope everything else turns out better. Also, considering that Hasbro did this:

season 7 looks like it's going to be pretty good.

"Good night, Grandaddy. I love you."

Heh. It was only fitting that one of my readers made me cry for a change with that line.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'm back and I'll be getting back to work on the chapter soon. In the meantime, I appreciate your kindness and consideration.

4502507 Glad I could help. :sad-derp:

And hey, look! You won the Flutters award from EFNW! WOOPOPOPOPOPO
