Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! Yesterday was the first day of NaNoWriMo, so I got distracted with the new story and forgot to put up this week’s custom pony. I got my words for the day, but every single one of them was like pulling teeth. And since this weekend was Halloween and full of candy,

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! This week’s custom is going up a little late because Hubs had food poisoning all weekend so ponies were the last thing on my mind. We spent most of the weekend watching movies (there was a Harry Potter marathon on!) and Star Trek. After he went to bed, I stayed up
