    Pinky the Kitchen Zombie

    I've got to say that today's episode, "Every Little Thing She Does," struck a familiar note at one point: Pinky in the kitchen under Starlight's version of the "Imperius" curse. It was amazingly close to a scene in Words Failed Her where Pinky was madly baking in a magic-induced trance—except Twilight, at least, had the presence

    Pre-pre-readers?

    Once again I'm looking for some pre-pre-readers to gather some... market research, yeah, that's it. I want to see if a story idea has legs and is worth following through on. So I've got 5k of words that could use some eyeballs and feedback. Any volunteers? I'll set the first few respondents up with a private GDocs copy of The Story So Far where they can make comments to their heart's content. No

    Relevant Al

    That's "Al" short for "Albert," not "A.I." or "Artificial Intelligence." This is regular intelligence, hard at work. Watch it and improve your own. ;)

    Emotional Contagion Spread Through Facebook

    Maybe Twilight needs to find a way to prevent herself from seeing cat videos and meme images if she ever comes to our world. She wouldn't want to take our digital infections home with her now, would she? I like it when life imitates art (sorta).

    Of Chaos Born

    I'm working on a origin story for a particular villainess that does not begin with anything like a normal childhood. Her path here is far more transformative and closely intersects with that of another historical figure—one who's story I also plan to tell in a parallel tale—but her's is far more fun to start with. What follows is a first draft and prone to massive editing changes, as these things

A New Story Begun · 3:46am May 1st, 2013

I'm about 4,000 words into a new story. The idea came out of left field and I decided to run with it. It'll be a while before I release the first chapter, but I'll test out an early synopsis here:

Freakish creatures live in the frozen moments between seconds, unseen and unknown. They live and die among unmoving statuary, unable to make any impact upon the world. Once, or so their stories go, one of the statues came to life.

For Rarity, it's just another day, another dress. But when unexplainable things start to happen around her, she ends up lost and alone, a stranger in a strange land: her own backyard.

Hopefully, that sounds interesting. I'm getting more and more excited about the whole thing as get farther into it. :)

EDIT: (I'll probably be seeking out early plot and flow pre-readers at some point.)

Color me immediately intrigued and wanting more.

Done. Sold. Count me in. What?! No. No, I'm not going to read the rest of the sneak peek. Why? Because I don't need to. That line in and of itself has got me, hook, line, and sinker.
