Fame! Well... Kinda. · 3:32pm Nov 11th, 2013
It turns out I'm in the official MLP comic series!
Well, kinda. There are some differences between the appearance of my OC and the 8-Bit that actually stars in the comic, but there are a great deal more similarities. A pegasus stallion with a dark gray coat, blue mane, pixelated cutie mark, and witty remarks that can only stem from being a born and raised Brit.
Don't believe me? Click the brohoof and see! /)
I'm famous! Almost.
Don't be confused that my username is 8_Bit, though. That's my penname. My OC's name is 8-Bit. Easy way to remember: underscore is me as a user and a writer, hyphen is my OC, which coincidentally is also my ponysona.
Now, as far as chapter updates go, they've evidently been very slow. But for good reason.
I'm currently looking for full-time employment, which is a long process in this day and age. My current job at Pizza Hut is a six-day-per-week job where I work evening shifts, so that would be my reason for not working at night. As for daytime? Jobhunting. Like, every day. Yeah, bummer.
And if you're thinking "But 8_Bit, you only work six nights, but there are seven nights in a week!", then I'd have to reply with "Fair enough, but constant jobhunting is a depressing and tiring process when you go weeks without any progress, and I only get one night off a week. Sue me." and that is the end of that.
One happy piece of news, one sad bit of news. Hmmm, let's end on some positives.
I finally got round to purchasing my first ever items of pony swag from WLF! Now I can wear some shirts that say "Yeah, I watch a show made for little girls. What's the big deal? I'm not a pervert. Honest." with pride for my fandom. I'll post pics when they arrive, and if you're lucky, I may reveal my face while I'm at it. Or not. Who knows?
I'm also planning to write something special for Christma... I mean, Hearth's Warming Eve. So look out for that. If anyone is interested too, I'm looking for three sexy people to pre-read it (when it's done) and give me some feedback. I'm not talking about an intensive editing job, just a simple "I liked this, but that bit sucked." that shouldn't be too hard. If you're down for that, drop me a PM.
And finally, The Equestria Games hit over one thousand views recently. So... *pops open beer* cheers for that.
That's all for now, my shift starts in twenty minutes. What? Oh come on, it's only one beer! I'm fine to drive. Honest.
Stay sexy, guys. I promise you that my stories aren't far from my mind.

Job hunting is literally my least favourite thing to do. Just accepted a job yesterday, thank god.
I can pre-read for ya as long as it's just a one-shot or at least not insanely long.
I've never fancied the comics, just writing and reading fanfiction. I actually have read and written more things than I have watched the show
I'm a twilight sparkle dammit.
