@Somber: I have done that, dozens of times. I even coined several genres and created "world's first" in a number of topics.
And people like to point out that I'm a prodigy. Generally in the negative sense. But as of late I'm just totally fizzled due to a number of things.

Anyhow, you were very adamant about how you don't want to fix any of the errors in PH, as you want it to be a reminder for you that you can do better. Which I fully respect. But you know, being told you don't want me to officially correct anything as an editor or the like. That leaves very few alternatives xP And has so far lead to the hit and miss of "just fix the sexual parts, leave the rest the fuck alone, ok? Ps: You only need to mention something once." response of the first draft. I'm apparently terrible at banter and attempting to smooth things out hehe.

Still can't recall what event pushed me to want to make a revised edition. (aside from wanting to be able to finish reading the story) But as said: If I cba, I would fix the two massive blatant flaws of FoE, that people still roll their eyes at to this day. Hm... that prolly come off a bit wrong in terms of implying... what I meant to say is that it's an attempt of admiration/affection to the source. Kinda like a mod for a game. Plus, in PH's case, it's more strune throughout. Not a blatant case of "having the implied mastermind forget the one and only thing their nemesis is capable off" xD

@Silent: Yeah... I should honestly learn to try and just power through things.
Currently being way inefficient.

@EP: That's some pretty neat cosplay... though, have to say they are given very questionable names but... xP

I wouldn't worry too much, I don't think anyone really noticed or they'd have commented. Unfortunately, she was referred to as "Lala" in at least one spot, which will also need to be corrected.

Incidentally, is "Lani" her bondsister's full name, or is that a nickname? If it's the latter, then we've kinda got at least three of them running around. (Mahealani, Ahulani, and "Lani".) I know it's a common name ending in Hawaiian, though, so it's not necessarily a terrible thing.

While I'm on the subject, I noticed an oddity in chapter 1 where Sky Altar's voice is described as "haunty". I think it's supposed to say "haughty", right?

Those are indeed some awesome costumes! Kinda makes me want to put together a Calamity outfit. (Why Calamity? Because I'm Texan. I've already got the hat.)

Somber, in case you missed it, the "Lala" SilentCarto pointed out appears to still be there in the FIMFiction chapter:
"“About what happened to your ship, Lala,” a stern-faced mare said."

If you do decide to go to Bronycon, let me know; I've no idea at this point whether it would work out, but we might be able to meet up at a convention again. At the least, Baltimore appears to be only about a two and a half hour ride away on the Northeast Regional (well, after another hour and a half or so on the LIRR).

Oh! I feel stupid now for not looking up where PonyRadioCon is held. I'd been vaguely wondering how the costumes could all include realistic weapons -- cons in the US (and a lot of Europe, I think) tend to get really twitchy about that sort of thing.

As for us it's a very twitchy thing too, we weren't allowed to carry out guns from photo zone.
As for all visitors: it's allowed to bring non-combat realistic models of weapons, for example airsoft ones, with mags not loaded and without accums/gas. Also people had to register their guns online sending photos of them to security.

So, just out of curiosity, how did Marigold get down from her rocket without the whole landing pad and airlock arrangement? Did she have to clamber down a ladder?

A ladder, perhaps a lift, I think. Either it was no longer attached by the time Blackjack and friends used the rocket, or she just never noticed; she was pretty preoccupied, after all, and didn't need to use it.

A pop-out lift platform on the exterior would work fine, sure. I was just curious if there was intended to be a ramp or an internal elevator or something. I mean, ponies aren't bad at ladders, apparently. Not as good as us apes, but it doesn't seem to inconvenience them too much.

Also, since I haven't said so yet, those cosplays are great.

Question for Somber or anyone else who'd know: have thoughts on the location of the divisions between Book 3 and Book 4 and between Book 4 and Book 5 changed since the story finished/whenever the hub page was last updated?

Ha-HA! Homelands 7! Enjoyed the setup and how the spirit worldbuilding was packed in (granted, stories about spirits are radical in and of themselves).

Except that they do exactly that literally everywhere in Equestria except for Ponyville (and, perhaps, a few other earth-pony-centric villages.) It just indicates that Errukine talks a good game, but she really doesn't know ponykind any better than someone who visited Italy once knows how Italians think.

Huh. Funny to think that she's actually distantly related to Goldenblood, who did in fact put forth the effort to at least partially come to understand Zebra thinking.
