Scootaloo is the bestest and greatest crusader. Sweetie Belle is nothing but a dog's chew toy--one of the squeaky ones--given life, and Apple Bloom just sucks.

    A Public Service Anouncment and some Forthcoming Things

    I honestly didn't expect to write this blogpost.

    No, seriously. I tried to get on a day ago only to be rebuffed by my lack of accurate password knowledge. Given that I'd also changed the email to gibberish, I thought it was pretty damn certain I wouldn't be able to get back on here. Many tears were cried as I shrugged and went back to bickering at people about their sloppily metered poetry.

    On Forcing a Story

    I’ve been reading through a lot of articles/advice on writing recently, and one recurring piece has stood out to me: that writers have a duty to finish their stories once started.

I have figured out how to win at Fimfiction · 11:43pm Jul 22nd, 2013

Fallout Equestria was released a few minutes later -- and is, in fact, the feed update. And then after that, Harpflank & Sweets updated. It has been a good day.

I shall endeavour to get infinite notifications more often.

It's been some time since I last did a serious blog post, so that's partially what I'm working on next. I want to answer a question I got asked recently -- "Why do you write?" -- in the manner I actually wanted to answer it, which is better stated as "Why express yourself through the written word?" and its more important cousin, who has a "should you" attached after the why. It's not really a question that tends to get explored a lot -- "Why create?" is the prefered question -- but it is one I spend a lot of time pondering. Like, you have no idea how much time.

Production on Equestria's End & Sombra is in the "planned & waiting for me to have free time" stages. I've got a free week coming up next friday, so I'll try and fit in time for them then. I've got a conversation about Luna being annoyed by the word "please" that's been bouncing around inside my head for yonks in need of an exorcism.

Until either of those times then, I guess. In the mean time, get hype. Season four has shown it might just be worth watching (EQG was a solid 2/10, would not watch obsessively).

Oh, and if you like epic things (and you should) then read this. Nine likes for a beautiful piece of poetry shouldn't be acceptable.


Adios~

So, how many notifications did you end up actually having?

None. I think the screwup was that it gave me a notification for a page I was already on.

Still, I like to pretend that I had an infinite amount. Makes me feel loved.

Hey, anything that lets you win at things that aren't even competitions is a good thing.

This is totally irrelevant and self-serving, but now I'm really curious to know why I have Benman's user icon in your screenshot. :rainbowderp:

Not that that's the sort of thing which would normally bug me, but my identity seems to be going a little bit weebly this week. (Linked story nsfw)

Well, it was either that or transplanting Celestia's face onto Luna's.

I did not spend twenty minutes trying this, by the way, and I resent your baseless allegations.

I know the feeling with the name thing: Cold in Gardez wrote a story starring Aquilas the griffin, and I've a double running round the site. And there's this, which scares me beyond good reason.
