Update: Anchor Foal (Patreon)

I wanted Fleur to go first this month for one major reason:  we wrapped April on a cliffhanger, and ponies don't exactly have fingers.  A jaw grip on the edge of rock isn't something you want to maintain long-term.

Compared to previous recent entries, this chapter ran long:  we're just short of 11k, and that's because I ran into The Revenge Of The Natural Chapter Break.  There are ways in which the latest update closes out the current stage of the story and sets up the next:  given that, I wanted to make sure everything which could be resolved before stopping was.  Sometimes the pace of the tale tells me to stop, and there are others where it feels like I need to press on.  

Either way, it counts for a single pledge charge.

The current plan is to try and post the next creation on Monday.  (This may be a one-shot.)  After that, Tuesday is when I'm getting my second vaccine shot -- Moderna -- and I am giving up on Wednesday through next Friday in advance, because I am familiar with my own luck and there are times when my arm still hurts.  It's slightly reasonable to expect a bad reaction.  I'm just hoping I'm past it by next weekend.

So I've made a plan.

Listen closely.  You may be able to hear a deity laughing.
