Hello everyone (at the modest time of 4am lmao.) I am now back to posting on a consistent monthly basis for the moment! We're kicking off this new arc strong, hopefully you'll find this latest chapter to be a good start! 
          
          The structure of the arc itself will be slightly different from the others, which I think will give it a nice fresh way to tell this next section of what happens. [Seriously, im pretty excited for it.] 
          
          And uh.. you might find that sometimes the text branches off and someone seems to be talking in the middle of the story, I dont know who that is or how they're breaking through the story but hopefully they stop, right?! Be on the lookout for ["insert format here"] messages signed by someone named "D".
          
          Aside from those little interruptions, I hope you guys enjoy the newest chapter, as always feel free to let me know what you think, Im always down to hear everyone's thoughts and opinions on what I could improve on!

Hello Hello! I know I've been absent for the month of October and I apologize for that, Ive been taking this time to work on chapters since I've finished the Starswirl Arc. Hopefully I will be able to continue as usual mid-way through November when I get my laptop situated and all that.

Note: It seems like Wattpad is removing MLP fics. I've been told it's because of Hasbro. I suggest you make a backup copy and perhaps post it on other platforms like fimfiction, quotev, deviantart, or any other fic platform you can think of. Also, if you're going to leave the link to that website, I don't recommend putting it in the discussion section or on your profile, as Wattpad usually deletes comments with links. The best option is to post it directly from a fic or in the comments of said fic. The comment ended up being too long for me,

          Which, speaking <O>f book 1, you may have noticed that the chapters have all started with re: with the exception of the latest chapter Nihil. The reason why is because the time frame this book is set in, is before the events of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 
          
          The chapters being named Re: ect. Is a means of showing that we are not currently in the normal <G>en 4 era. Except for moments in the story that are very climactic or important for the plot.
          
          As usual, though. I encourage anyone who appreciates this book series to spread the love to anyone you think might be interested. Hopefully we can have a <U>nited fanbase by the time this 16 month countdown is done and the book has reached its conclusion. I also want to put a list of goals that I want to hit before the end of the 16 months is up. So be on the lookout for that and be sure to hold me to it! It doesn't just benefit me, but anyone else who enjoys the content.
          
          And lastly, for the people who want some insight into the future to craft some theories, I hope you've been paying attention!~ 
          
          Good Night, <E>veryone!

Hello everyone! I know I'm a good 5 days late to <P>osting this announcement, sorry about that! 
          
          Today, I kinda want to give an overall road map on the book, how long it'll take for this book to be fully finished, the amount of arcs planned, and even give you guys some insider information.
          
          So, let's start with the MLP:TMC <R>oadmap:
          
          Last month, we reached a year since the release of the first chapter (prologue), and while I had this plan to draw something cool to celebrate, life always finds a way to mess up whatever fun plans I have.
          
          For the most part, I want to keep the chapter releases to <O>ne chapter a month, while the current version of MLP:TMC is a book, the main form I want it to take is a manga, and this is more in <L>ine with how they release manga chapters (usually every 2 weeks). Every arc after the introductory arc will be 5 chapters, and here are the arcs planned for the book:
          
          Intro Arc: 10
          
          Starswirl Arc: 5
          
          <Redacted> Arc: 5
          
          <Redacted> Arc: 5
          
          <Redacted> Arc: 5
          
          We are currently 1 chapter away from wrapping up the Starswirl Arc, which means that we have roughly 16 months (a year and a quarter) before we are finished with book 1.
          
          (Pt 1)

Good afternoon everyone! Just uploaded the newest chapter and figured I'd check in!
          
          Today is the 1st anniversary of the book's release, and I HAD a plan to celebrate it, but as if fate wanted to deny me the ability to celebrate it, my charger on my laptop is once again, broken. I think they're making it so these things intentionally break after a certain amount of time or something, because there's no way I've barely had it for a few months and it's already cooked again. ToT
          
          Either way, I will try to figure something out, Afterall, this is a big deal- to me at least. I remember when I was still on the fence about even publishing anything at all, but now im here with 13 chapters [+ prologue] published! If any of you have any ideas, feel free to hit me up with a comment or something, Im not some celeb, so you can rest assured knowing that I see each and every comment that you guys send. 
          
          Thank you all for being supportive and reading the chapters each month, and feel free to tell me any thoughts that you have on how I could improve. If you want to support, you can do so by telling anyone that you think might be interested in this story. I hope you guys have a great holiday and a great rest of the month!

Good evening! I hope you all are having a great day!
          
          Apologies for the delay on the chapter, [with the release of Elden Ring Night Reign] I've had my hands full! 
          
          Once again, welcome to the Starswirl arc! Writing it has been a bit difficult for me because I want to find ways to translate the things I see in my mind, to words for you all to read, and as much as I'd love to be consistent at drawing enough to put this into manga form- it's just not happening yet.  Maybe one day we can get Mappa to animate it [LMAO not likely]
          
          Digressing aside, this has been a blast to write, and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did writing it, I'm thinking about making a discord server for the book, maybe for we happy few that actually do read the book. But that's really up to you all. It'll give me a place to be able to take feedback in a much more streamlined way, as well as potentially interact with you all.
          
          Let me know what you all think about it though. Feel free to comment your thoughts, I will respond! If you think someone else might enjoy this book, or you just want to help me out, consider sharing this book with someone, I appreciate it!

Hello everyone! I've been trying to get back into drawing [with mixed results] and while it has been quite demoralizing, I will still try to accomplish my goal of getting chapter covers...
          
          ..eventually.
          
          For now Im going to focus on an easier task: getting a cover for each story arc. With chapter 1 being the Introductory arc, and chapter 11 representing the Starswirl arc.
          
          Which by the way, welcome to the Starswirl arc! Im going to continue posting chapters on a monthly basis again, starting with the first chapter in the Starswirl arc. 
          
          I hope you've been enjoying the book so far! And if you have, please consider sharing it to someone else who you might think will enjoy it. [Because I cant advertise it to save my life!]

Its been a while! Figured I'd give you all an update:
          
          I had to find a new charger for my laptop, and it took a while (A few months actually) but I finally was able to grab one, so its time to start drawing.
          
          As I've said before. I'll be aiming to try to get a cover for each chapter before the end of June, afterwards I'll be back to writing for the next arc of the story, promptly titled the 'Starswirl Arc'
          
          Its a difficult process to do alone, especially since I'm not all that adept at drawing, but hopefully things will get rolling quickly and I can get back to posting before June.
          
          If you want to check out the art and how progress is going, or just want to interact with me, feel free to check out my Instagram:

          Stay safe and have a great day!

Alright, I thought I'd post an update, as well as reaffirm what I said in the last post.
          
          Chapter 10 is going to be the last chapter in this introductory arc (to which I have no name for yet). After this chapter I will be taking a hiatus to try to draw some cover art for each of the 10 chapters that have been released so far. I'm not all that good, especially with anatomy, if anyone wants to help with that, I'd be beyond appreciative.
          
          As for me irl, I have managed to catch COVID again. It was clearing up a few days ago but I think its takin another hit at me. That combined with the fact that I'm currently relegated to type on my phone instead of my laptop, means chapter 10 might release a few days later than usual.
          
          As usual, feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions down in the replies. I'll be working on hopefully getting a discord server up where I'll have a centralized space to share all book-related news.
