    Temporary hiatus due to intense course

    I have tried taking it with a positive view, but considering the circumstances, I might have to put writing and drawing away for a few weeks. I didn't think it was going to be so time consuming, but the course is an intense 12-weeks course compressed into 6, and the physical training I haven't done in probably years. My classic "I will run when they come lookin' for me"ideology is taking its

    As if I needed more reasons to be a slow writer

    I've always had reasons to not write/draw while following a specific schedule. Most of them being:

    -Gaming like a mofo.
    -Exhausted from house chores.
    -Simply not feeling like it.
    -Lack of inspiration.
    -Friends come to visit (extremely rare)

    Why I seem to be dead around here these days

    I've seen a lot of blogs these days commenting about fake suicide notes and stuff like that. Not a pretty sight. I was going through a bit of an ordeal myself, but I didn't feel like bothering anyone around here with it, so I moved forward. Anyway, that's not the point of all this, but it's true that the idea of being called out because of all the ones posting lies for attention really didn't

    I draw (horribly) too!

    So, after almost a month full of delays and mishaps, I was able to get my tablet. Suffice to say, I wasn't an outstanding artist before I got this thing, and getting used to it (and learning how to use it) takes time. Ever new drawing shows that I'm slowly adapting to it, but I still was a mediocre artist when I started. For any of you interested, there's actually a comic I'm working on that

Celestia and Discord Have a Raving Dance Party · 10:40am May 19th, 2013

Here we are again, sooner than I expected.

I never thought I was going to get asked to riff a fic. I still consider myself quite... unknown among the riffing crew. However, I was asking for a one-shot, non-clop story to riff and the author, who is also a dear friend of mine, sent me his story.

I don't know if this actually helps to cushion the fiasco that's taking place about the lass who refuses to get her stories in any group or riffed in any way, but even if that's not the case, this is something important that has to be said. Fics can be riffed, either good or bad ones. I'm sure I could riff some of SS&E's stories, but I fear that, if I read anything from him, I'll get depressed and quit writing, and I have some projects to work on before that. Stories with issues, be it grammar, characterization or plotholes so big that would make the Grand Canyon look like a paper cut are the most commonly riffed, sure. Stories that have none of those, however, can also be riffed, and probably the resulting riffs would be even funnier, you just have to be able to spot possible jokes between lines. Innuendos, snarky comments or even sex jokes, which are the easiest to find and/or make up.

With no further ado, here you have the riff.
