    Recently, I've been asked for permission by Avonder to include Whom The Princesses Would Destroy... in a story anthology he's putting together. I'm not one for hoarding words and I gave it quite, quite gladly.

    You'll find it here.

    Now(TM) with Travel Advice

    I'm safely ensconced in my hotel room in Ludwigsburg. Hope to meet at least some of you. To increase the odds of this happening, I offer the following advice:

    Soon(TM)

    I will be flying to Galacon 2018 in under twelve hours and I expect I will be safely in Ludwigsburg within 24 hours. I will be hard to contact during this period, though I think I've acquired a method of fool-proof Internet access no matter where I am (aside from six miles straight up, of course).

    Hope to see many of you soon!

    Happy July 20th!

    ...or July 21st, depending on your timezone.

    49 years ago the first manned Moon landing was accomplished. It is one of my favorite moments in history (To learn about my favorite you may have to wait for December the 9th), and to celebrate I've re-edited Hoofprints to be a little less... ah, draft-y.

New Story! With Civil Service stuff in! · 1:21am Dec 29th, 2013

Hello my readers, wonderful and witty!

Because I'm tagging "Whom The Princesses Would Destroy" I'll be quick:

There's a new story of mine named Obiter Dicta out and it contains some Civil Service material you may find enjoyable. Obiter Dicta is a collection of short stories, vignettes, and deleted scenes, that tends to focus on slice-of-life and comedy, and is mostly about the Civil Service universe. The first chapter, An Afternoon for Dotted Line, is a pure sequel to A Canterlot Carol and is best enjoyed if you have read ACC. The rest can be read no matter how much or how little of my stuff you've read before.

I hope you'll enjoy it. If you do (or if you don't!) I'd appreciate a comment telling me why.

Well, looks like it's time to drop everything and get some reading done.

Yup. This is definitely a nice surprise.

And this time I'll try to actually leave comments =P

Well, since the comments on my Signal Boost have quickly turned into me and Nadnerb batting back and forth over "Three Days", I figured I'd come over here and say...

Yay! I love these stories. Now everyone go read them!

Actually, I should go re-read them myself tonight and have a bit of fun.

I should also go read "Height". And work. Dah!

1658683 couldn't have put it better!

Time well spent. Bravo, Ghost.

Instantly put into my favorites list, and I have not even begun to read it yet!

In the words of one T. Sparkle:

Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes.

I am denying myself until my edits are done. This is to be my reward. :ajsmug:

I have set aside New Year's day. January I have a year-end financial report for my nonprofit. But I hope to have that done in a couple of weekends.:twilightoops:

Well, gosh, now I'm all anxious about it. It's enormously gratifying for something your wrote to be someone's New Year's Day treat, but the pressure is... :twilightoops:

Still. I'll cope. I like 'gratifying.' :raritywink:

And when you say edits. Do you mean edits to that thing I won't mention because spoilers but which is made of awesome layered with win and joy?

Thanks for the heads up!!!
