MerlosTheMad


Greetings, I am Merlos the Mad. I am a dabbler of both words and wizardry in my free time. I also invite you all to partake in my musings. Take care though, as they are the product of a madman.

    *Cruises through*

    I was going through an old hard drive and found this sound file I never uploaded. If anybody likes listening to nerds from ten years ago talk about fanfiction with little ponies in it here's one I recorded with Hoopy Mcgee and Mrpockets at our heights of fanfiction. (Warning there is a little vulgarity. I was just out of the army when I recorded this I think. lol)

    Hello everyone, just an update.

    Well, suffice it to say, my renewed effort to start updating to schedule once again didn't pan out. It was maybe a bit naive of me to try and hold myself to that, especially considering how bad my track record had been the last couple of years. Still, I felt I had to try.

    Moving Forward, cause I'm back!

    I probably don't deserve to use a song this awesome, but...

    Heeeello everypony. I hope you've been enjoying the updates so far. Or, at least, you know, tolerating them.

    Whoooa. Two blogs in one year? Who am I and what did I do with the real Merlos!

    It's true, I am in fact... a changeling! The real Merlos is currently locked in the basement of this stinky wizard tower, and I am readying Queen Chrysalis' eeeevil plan to take over all the fimfiction writers and then the whole world! Bwahahaha!

    Except not.

The Next MLM and ATL Update · 6:30pm Dec 10th, 2013

I can't say for sure, but, I think it will be out this week. Optimistically, I'm going to try and get it cleaned up and ready for a Wednesday deployment... So, we're almost there, ponies.

Just a little longer! I promise! Now, having said that my final is today. I should be studying rather than blogging really, but a short break never hurt anypony. >.>

So, as you may have noticed I still like to put out short stories on the side while I'm writing my main stuff. I've become content with the idea of them taking me a long amount of time, and I'm trying to somehow fit other stuff in between my primary tales. To that end, here are some of the one shots and shorts stories I really want to add to my repertoire soon.

Appletini Goes Missing

I love the old episodes for their charm and fresh personality even to this day, and I would like to do a short fic about Applejack turning up missing while small. :twilightblush:

Dash and Vinyl Get Dapper

I saw this picture and could already see the story and what would happen in my head. Basically a Dash and Vinyl friend-shipping that involves bugging the hell out of Twilight and Octavia.

Powerless

The Elements of Harmony... strip Discord of his powers rather than turn him to stone!? :rainbowderp:

Switcheroo

Lyra casts the spell that will finally get her what she has always wanted: hands. Somepony else ends up with her hooves...

And Finally...

Twilight Loves... Zoidberg!?

Self explanatory.

It might be a little foolish of me to post all of these up for everyone to see, but I trust you all. ^_^ I get the feeling most of you have way less free time as I in any case... So would you fellas like to see these at all? Or would you just want me to spearhead mlm and atl? I'll be honest, with as much story as there is left, the Madverse won't end any time soon. It might be next summer, or next Christmas that it finally wraps up... I can't say for sure. I would like to intersperse some stories in there though.

Ah well, in any case this blog is mostly a teaser! There will be more story soon, worry not. I suppose I can share a bit more information however... Sweetie Bot and Shy each have less than ten chapters left planned. I'm not positive about Abhorsen, but it may be in that range as well. ATL and MLM? For their scope they're going to need at least ten more. They may go longer though. MLM almost certainly will.

And that's all for now. I will see you again soon everypony-

Twilight? Hold on, I'm working as fast as I can to get you home, I swear!

I should be studying for my final tomorrow instead of reading blogs. :twilightblush: We're in the same boat. Except mine is a Grad school boat.

You want to do a crossover between Futurama and MLP. I've been a big time Futurama fan for many years. I've seen almost every episode and many of them twice. I've always wanted to a crossover with that, but couldn't come up with a good idea. Maybe your story will be great.

...You mentioned nothing about a Vinyl fic to me Merlos... I'm hurt... :applecry:

Oh em gee. Twilight and the cookie. That deserves a fic lol. Might be the funniest thing I've seen. That face!

A twilight landing and Mary is a mare need 10 more chapters? Shit son, I thought they were like three chapters from the resolution!

Merlos does not cheap things. :twilightsmile: We might be at the halfway point...

I'd like to see Switcheroo that looks fun.

Super excited for the appletini fic! Soooo adorable! :rainbowkiss:

oh wow so.many stories. That will consume a lot of my time. mos of them sound interesting xP I gonna go crazy with so muvh teasing and so long without atl or mlm xD
Good luck tomorrow ^^

I wouldnt mind seeing all of them except the zoidberg one.

1593305 only half way?!

Let the fun continue! and you get a complimentary fabulous video Merlos for being such a great author:twilightsmile:.

Appletini sounds fun, as does powerless.:pinkiecrazy:
Any time new chapters come out would be great, as long as they come:raritywink:

1593305 I can get behind that. Love me a long story!

So, why not a short story! All of them, yes?
LOL, serously, they all sound wonderful, and you should do them all! :twilightsmile:

All of these sound deliciously insane :rainbowwild:

Oh don't worry. I don't think I'll have any reason to write a Twi/Zoidberg shipfic any time soon... :scootangel:

Are you insinuating my perfect ship is flawed in some way? :rainbowhuh:

Lyra casts the spell that will finally get her what she has always wanted: hands. Somepony else ends up with her hooves...

I've always thought that picture is hilarious. No doubt the story would be even more so.
