Over there, XFizzle posted this note:<br /><br /><br />Hey all,<br /><br />As of today, EHL2 is postponed for the indefinite future. I lost the spark for writing. I viewed the upcoming chapter with dread, not excitement, which raised a red flag in my mind that I should take a step back. I thought that starting the 2nd season would renew the flame so to speak but alas it has not. It's not dead, but it's placed on the back burner for now. I feel it would be unfair of me to go through the motions and grind out chapters with a halfhearted effort, resulting in a sloppy mess for you, the readers, to navigate through. During this time, I will be pursuing other avenues of creativity while attending to more pressing matters in my life.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my work, for the support, and for the attention. I hope to resume eventually but it's not "right" at this time. Thanks for your understanding.<br /><br />- XFizzle<br /><br /><br />Here's hoping that he finds his spark and that the "more pressing matters in [his] life" get sorted out. I'm sorry to see the story put on hiatus, but do what you have to.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-8055002681665963342011-11-09T11:06:59.526-07:002011-11-09T11:06:59.526-07:00Oh hell yes Season 2!Oh hell yes Season 2!The Commanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168286396128851513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-49998955668354176452011-11-09T09:55:31.920-07:002011-11-09T09:55:31.920-07:00Hmmm...I followed the first story over on FiMFicti...Hmmm...I followed the first story over on FiMFiction.net and in general I think it's pretty good. It's obvious it was done by a hockey fan with hockey fans in mind, and not being a hockey fan I actually learned a fair amount about the sport reading this. Although some of the paragraphs describing the action on the ice I would felt were a little flat and I would wind up skimming them to get to the part where somepony scores a goal. But in general the main characters were written well and having it end without them getting to the championship was a nice touch - it keeps a sense of realism on the whole story and it feels more true to what a real sports story should be.<br /><br />Now my main problem with the story was that some characters just seem thrown in for the heck of it. Do we really need every single player of the EHL be somepony we've met in the show? Like for example at one point you have Doctor Whooves as a goalie, but he has no lines, no indication of his fanon personality whatsoever. You could have replaced him with somepony named Goalie Savesalot and it wouldn't have affected the story in the slightest. Sometimes you add personalities to the opposing players, and it works at times, but often it just feels like you're just throwing familiar names in for the heck of it.<br /><br />Now, as for the second story...<br /><br />Mmm, not too crazy about Celestia's reaction here. I mean, I'm not gonna diss it because at its heart this is a story about hockey with comedic elements so I'm willing to suspend disbelief, but I do feel like you could have played this out a little better. Maybe the secret about Discord could have stayed a secret, and the Golden Leaves would have noticed something amiss and had to work out the conspiracy as they played the season? I dunno, I just don't like how Celestia reacted here, I give her a tad more credit than being willing to trust the self-admitted spirit of chaos. But it's a matter of personal opinion.John Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01440476810236159695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-49788619389534725222011-11-09T09:32:13.153-07:002011-11-09T09:32:13.153-07:00New EHL!

...New EHL!<br /><br />*Drops everything, begins reading*<br /><br />...<br /><br />Celestia: "Until he commits a wrong deed or endangers Equestria, we must allow him to have his rightful chance to be a part of our society." I can totally see Discord trying to hide Gary Bettpony's statue behind his back while whistling nonchalantly as she says that. Seriously though, I love Twilight's explanation for why kidnapping the commissioner doesn't count.<br /><br />And while I'm excited by the prospect of more Trixie this season, I can't help but suspect that she and Manehattan won't be coming out on top when all's said and done. Call it a hunch...<br /><br />But come what may, I'm glad to see Season 2 is now in the works.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-42743286242359262011-11-09T00:58:54.263-07:002011-11-09T00:58:54.263-07:00Hell yeah!!

For the l...Man, I can't believe it's over! For the last two months, I've been thrilled to follow this story. The game descriptions were clear and easy to follow, and the mix of character-based humor and NHL shoutouts kept a big, goofy grin on my face through every chapter. It's true that the writing was occasionally a bit flat, and that there were a few (minor) grammar problems scattered throughout, but for me it was not enough to detract from the wonderfully enjoyable concept which you've fleshed out over the last 17 chapters.<br /><br />I, like other readers who have already commented on your DA, was surprised that the Leafs lost instead of going on to the finals, but I'm glad you wrote it that way. Being swept by the Red Wings is a fitting conclusion to such a tumultuous first season. The only thing I would have preferred is for the Rangers to knock them out, but even as I rooted Manehattan on, I knew they were doomed. Oh well, maybe Trixie can lead her team a bit farther next season?<br /><br />Speaking of next season, the Epilogue (you might want to fix that, btw: prologues go before a story, epilogues after) already has me exited for a continuation. Will you begin writing it right away, or are you taking a hiatus between seasons? Either way, expect me to continue following your stories--as both a hockey fan and a pony fan, this story hits a sweet spot between two of my great loves.<br /><br />Thanks for the great read, XFizzle.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11581572699330155065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-56527574929967046992011-10-18T00:22:52.260-06:002011-10-18T00:22:52.260-06:00I used to get the EA Sports hockey games for Chris...I used to get the EA Sports hockey games for Christmas every year... this is the best cover yet.Unsuspecting Herdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12307875139443426893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1865775941337421610.post-73500769645576935462011-10-18T00:03:23.716-06:002011-10-18T00:03:23.716-06:00Crap, Cereal's back, hide!
