Wow. Visiting this site again was like going back to my old neopets page. So much nostalgia.

    Where art thou, oh Artichoke?

    Sorry, I'm a bit busy. I had two hobbies before I got a job. Writing here, and developing AI. I hit a wall here with the new changeling episode, but in my AI development, I found a highway.

    Look at my AI! My AI is amazing!

    The New Hive Super Edit

    Just letting you guys know I nearly redid the entire last chapter because of a few complaints I got. (In case re-publishing didn't work.) They were definitely valid, even if I didn't agree 100% with the reasoning behind them, and now I think my story's much better because of the changes I made.

    Keep up the constructive criticism!

    Hello guys. Here's part of what I've been doing while I've been rewriting my main story:

    Would you like a collab?

    I've actually been thinking of adding some collaboration into 'The New Hive' since its inception. I can't really create a realistic representation of humanity all by myself after all.

    Waiting for editors to compile...

    So, my next chapter's done. Just need to wait for editors to do their thing. And from what I can see from the first editor, I made quite a few mistakes.

    Well, now I have guilt-free free time... What should I do... Hmm...

I wonder if I can get a few hundred subscribers... · 1:32am Feb 21st, 2014

I'm feeling kind of power hungry now, and I think I've analyzed this site to know the kind of stories that get featured. So once I'm done with "Six standard deviations from the mean", I'll write the kinds of stories that get featured, but ones that I'll like writing.

So, next on my list is:

* Popular contrasting crossover: Bleach: Aizen goes to Equestria.
* Interplanetary contact with humans: Voyager 1 crash-lands on Equestria.
* Short slice of life story(s) dealing with events in recent episodes.
* Continuation of old story: CelestAI finds Equestria.

I'm a relatively decent drawer, so I'll actually have some cover art when I submit the stories. I'll also only write on the weekends after jogging so my pacing isn't light-speed. Then I'll submit my stories, update chapters, and add my stories to groups on weekday mornings--and maybe Sundays--since that's when I seem to receive the most favorites for my stories. On hiatus, I'll submit my stories and do everything on Saturdays, and recalculate the traffic.

All of this should take about two months...

Can anyone think of anything else I could do? Perhaps a few more story ideas? (I'm not going to write clop.)

May I see your works? Interesting story ideas by the way.

What do you mean by my works? My stories are viewable on the sidebar, though I do have a few unpublished stories. Or do you mean what I have for the story ideas I listed? (I'm gonna try not to plan very much actually; the only story here I've read that has perfectly regular updates here is one where the author decided the plot as he/she went along.)

1857977 Haha, sorry I meant art work :3

Ah, okay. I'll see if I still have one...

Apparently I threw out my landscape picture, so I only have my album covers: http://selfreference.bandcamp.com/album/puzzle-box

I draw some, scan it, then edit the color levels and stuff in gimp.

1858361 Ah. I would be looking forward to seeing those cover arts for your stories <:)

1858376 Sorry, tired and my fingers shaking. It has been edited. v

Ah, got it. Thanks! :twilightsmile:
