    Angry PMs

    When I get angry PMs from authors whose stories I left a negative comment on, I always laugh. This one I got a few minutes ago is one of the funniest I've ever seen.

    Planning a rewrite of Night Fury's Lament

    Anyone remember that story? It was one of the first stories I ever wrote, and the first I ever finished. And it has a lot of problems. From edgy OCs, to HTTYD canon-defying moments, to confusing and absurd plot points, to suspicious contrivances and coincidences, and finally MLP characters acting wildly out of character.

    Looking back on Trust in the Night

    Even after the story has been dead for over a year, I still get PMs and comments asking me for updates on Trust in the Night. What I'd really like to know is why. I was idly thumbing through it the other day and I realised that it sucks. It sucks really, really bad. It has about the same writing quality as those crappy one-shots with the 'X Verbs Y' titles that you see in the

    Ergh

    I said I'd start writing these more often. Here you go.

    I just had to write a six and a half A4 page poetry response for homework. All in one night wherein I also had about a million other things to do and only an hour and a half with which to do them. Needless to say, I'm a very tired froggy right now.

    Sylvia Plath and her depressing poetry will haunt me to the fucking grave.

    Infuriating authors

    I don't make these things very often, in fact I'll probably start making them more often, but I'm a bit ticked off right now and that's going to leak into my writing and reviewing if I don't do something about it.

    I cannot stand it when well-known and respected authors act in a juvenile and childish manner and no one says anything about it.

Apologies · 7:46am Jan 30th, 2014

My sincere apologies for the even-longer-than-usual delay on the latest chapter of Night Fury's Lament.

As those of you who follow me, the author, and not just the story, already know, I have been devoting some time to other projects, like Genesis and Sometimes We Do Wrong to Do Right. I also have another, unannounced story brewing, that will be coming out when Night Fury's Lament is complete. These other stories have been sapping all my creativity and attention, and for that I apologise profusely.

As it stands, the final full chapter of Night Fury's Lament is about halfway through being written, and it's closer to the end of the chapter than the start of it. I'll probably have it finished and posted by Saturday.

If I don't, it is perfectly within your right to come after me with torches and pitchforks.
