    It Can't Be Just Me

    I still go to Derpibooru. I know some people have stopped, or at least stop having their art there, but it is still the most convenient way to see most mlp art (and not having to create an account for every art site under the sun). I also live out in the country, so there are many times when my internet can be spotty. There are times when I will be in the middle of something, and it will slow,

    Still Getting Attention For Some Reason

    So, it has been over a year since I last posted or updated a story (August 2021), and almost a year since I announced i was giving up on continuing any stories here. Yet, somehow, I am still getting notifications that people are liking my stories, and even occasionally getting new followers.

    I'm kind of curious as to why?

    Giving Up

    Well, I'm admitting defeat. The stories that I have here but have not finished are now officially cancelled. After all this time, it seems unlikely that I will be continuing to work on them. Sorry to those who were hoping that they would keep going, but hopefully you understand.

    MLP, D&D, and breath weapons

    Something I was thinking about the other day.

    In the show, we have dragons of numerous colors, but they all breathe fire. Some of them are of different colors, but it is fire all the same.

Asking for financial help · 6:29pm May 9th, 2019

Over all this is me straight up asking for money, but there's a bit more to it.


So, I have mentioned repeatedly (and will continue to) that I now have a Ko-fi account here. Admittedly, not much has come of it yet. A little disappointing, but not that big a deal. However, recently, things have changed a lot.

Yesterday, I was in an accident due to my own stupidity. Other than a little sick and sore, I'm fine. Lost my glasses, but already ordered a replacement (and using a pair that do not fit my prescription for the time being). However, my car is ruined, likely beyond repair. I doubt I'm going to get anywhere near enough to replace it as even a decent used car is expensive around here, but any little bit helps.

Additionally, my birthday is coming up later this month. Normally I keep it to myself, but considering all that's happening, if anyone feels like paying a little as a "happy birthday," that would be nice.

However, not everything in this blog is about me asking for money, and not offering anything at all in return. There are two things I am willing to write in return for reaching certain benchmarks.

NSFW Ocellus/Gallus story: in the featured box is a story called When Haggling, Bring a Griffon. An entertaining little story. Someone made a comment about misreading the title, and I joked about it. This got at least two people's interested, one of whom asked about my making it.

And I am willing. So if anyone is interested, they can make a payment on my coffee, and in the comment section of the donation, write "luslus" (the ship name according to Derpibooru). If it ends up reaching, or exceeding, thirty dollars, then I will write a one chapter clop-fic between Ocellus and Gallus.

More Pumpkin and Pound chapters: so Pumpkin and Pound was not as popular as I thought it would be, but I was planning on offering this anyway, so may as well regardless.

The stories were based on an episode of Corn and Peg, containing two mini-episodes, which was put on Youtube. There are also two more episodes on the site at this time, each of which contain two mini-episodes.

If people are interested in seeing more of the adaptation, then they can make a donation and write "Corn and Peg" in the comments. If the total with these comments reaches ninety dollars, I will watch another episode, and try to adapt it as well. I know it might sound like a lot, but this requires me sitting through an episode of a show I'm not fond of, likely at least twice, and means it's about forty-five dollars per chapter (but since they mini-episodes are posted together, it is going to be in pairs for convenience sake).

So there's the entirety of it. My asking for a little financial help, and even offering a few incentives.

It would all be really appreciated.
