    I've been invited to a podcast

    This blog is pretty easily summed up by the title. I've been invited to appear on a podcast, specifically The Barcast. They interview a variety of notable, or perhaps notorious, people from among the fandom and I'm their latest choice. I'd say they must be scraping the bottom of the barrel in that case, but I'm too flattered by the attention to say no. They are taking audience questions here (

    I won a contest and new chapter on the horizon.

    Hello, everyone. Sorry for the long silence, but I am still alive, believe it or not.

    New DF: Extra Stuff and still doing things!

    The title honestly says it all. I just published a new chapter of Dresden Fillies: Extra Stuff, which is the collection of odds and ends of Dresden/MLP crossover that doesn't quite fit into my main stories. In this case it's a story inspired by a reader comment 'What if Fluttershy picked up one of the Blackened Denarius?". My answer to that was so involved (over 13K words) that I considered

    Not dead yet, but not writing either

    So this is a blog post I should have done a while ago and I'm sorry for not saying something sooner. As it turns out, the final year of getting my doctorate is the most time-consuming thing I've ever done in my life. Between a full 40 hours a week fulfilling school requirements, having a part-time job on the side to continue living and maintaining the bare minimum of social interaction with

Or maybe I'm not sorry · 12:36am Apr 2nd, 2013

Well, as many ... okay most ... fine, almost all of you gathered I am not stopping production on False Masks or leaving the site. Apparently, mine was not the most original of April Fool's jokes, but I'd like to think it was convincingly written at least. Besides the bit about being low on time was no joke yeesh sometimes my deadlines are a pain. Anyway, I'm afraid you lot are stuck with me so here's to many more stories about candy colored ponies based on a children's card game TV show.

Oh, and the next chapter of False Masks should be out in about a week.

I only took it seriously because it showed up at 10pm yesterday. Fucking timezones screwing up everything.

And there was much rejoicing.

We knew you wouldn't abandon us, Mr. Butcher. Forget your Agent! You have ponies!

You had me going there, you sly dog.

>but I'd like to think it was convincingly written at least

:unsuresweetie: Sure thing, Psychic.

I'm just kidding, you awesome writer you.
It was pretty obvious, though.

I cannae abide this difference in timezones. Gorram Englishmen...

I didn't fall for it but I found the subtle allusions to the ongoing joke about you secretly being Jim Butcher kinda funny.

I understand you have to maintain this fiction for liability reasons, but we all know the truth.

Almost had me going. Not too bad, Jim. Not too bad.

Like I said, it was close. Yours was one of the most normal sounding, well done ones. Keep up the good work, man. You're pretty spectacular.

Well I thought it was brilliant. :twilightsmile:

That comment paired with your avatar made me laugh until my sides hurt.
:rainbowlaugh:
Ow.

I see that you have denied leaving the site and stopping Dresden Fillies, but not your admission of being Jim. :trollestia:

We all know the truth. :rainbowwild:

It was very convincingly written.

Heck, it had me convinced for a minute, after reading Knighty's post and doing some trolling of my own in those comments about fimfiction gold. Time zone differences may have helped, but you nailed the tone.

Well.......damn....thats what I get for getting on fimfiction early in the morning and not looking at the date. Had me going all day.

Ah the joys of walking into a room (or the equivalent of) after someone has told a joke. Don't know what's going on or why people are laughing and feeling incredibly lost.

Honestly, if it weren't for the date, you might have had me fooled.

It was convincingly written. It took a whole fifteen minutes for me to catch on. That is, after I got over the whole "AHA! IT REALLY WAS HIM! ....and now he's gone." Knee jerk reaction. I don't care one way or the other if you are Mr. Butcher, Dresden Fillies is awesome. :twilightsmile:

If it makes you feel any better, I was completely fooled and utterly devastated for the evening...Hells bells, the end of Dresden (and Bob!) is a fate too horrible to comprehend!

Huzzah, the Bob fun has been infinity-ed!
