    Goodbye, Fimfiction!

    Well, anyone who read my previous blogs could probably see this coming, but... I have now drifted sufficiently far from the fandom that I no longer feel motivated to actually read new fics, and the old fics I stopped reading a while ago.
    Literally the only thing keeping me coming back here are the blogs of smart people, and people who lead interesting lives.

    Well then

    I've decided to give up reading incomplete fanfics. In fact, I'm not to sure about complete fanfics either. Still, if you want me to read something, finish it, and give me a shout. If you really want me to read something, make it an e-book before you call me.

    Screw it - I quit!

    You read that right. I won't be fanficcing anymore.
    For the past ... always, I have treated the authors and stories I have subscribed to as something of an obligation.
    I approached them with the same attitude I brought to normal books - 'I got this because I like it, so I _will_ finish it'.

    More Bookshelves

    So, those of you who have somehow managed to stumble upon my page my have noticed that the number of bookshelves I have is slowly multiplying.
    So, in my eternal quest to procrastinate, I have come to the decision that I may as well explain my shelving system.

    Bookshelves?

    Ooh, a new feature! What could it be? What could it be?

    ...

    Seriously?

    So, after that rubbish where they combine our 'tracking' and 'favourite' functions, as, apparently 'everyone' just uses favourite, they give us our tracking button back and have the nerve to call it an update?!
    No, damn it! Restoring the status quo _is not_ an 'update'!

Oops · 7:09pm Jun 9th, 2013

So, after... some time, I glanced at my own page. And rediscovered the resolution by which I freed up a significant amount of time for work. Sunday is Ponyday.
I really shouldn't have forgotten that - it would have saved me rather a lot of trouble.

Update, though - the horrors of that self insert fic no longer stir my inspiration, and so Beati Mortui is progressing. At glacial speeds, but progressing nonetheless. The main difficulty is that I am actually having to study Emakaji's Equestria:Total War to try and draw out the world-knowledge that an author possesses, but doesn't necessarily convey directly to their readers.
Still, I am daring to write a piece of fiction derived from a shining example of what I consider to be a platinum-standard story. Moreover, I have been pretentious enough to give that work a latin title, as well as subtitles based off of some of the greatest pieces of literature ever written. It would be remiss of me not to do everything in my power to ensure a high level of quality.

With that said, I suppose I should return to the schedule I had previously stated. Sunday is Ponyday - provided I have completed my work. And boy, have I ever been negligent in that area! I guess I'll just have to put my shoulder to the wheel for now. Rather a pity, actually - the weather has decidedly changed for better, and, if past experience is anything to go by, will likely only continue to do so until I clear up my schedule enough to enjoy it.

Still, time and tide wait for no man, so for now, I bid you adieu.
