    If you haven't read this, you need to

    Fresh from the "it's a crime if this doesn't get featured" list, is the short story Riverdream At Sunset.

    It's written as an 1800's period piece, with trappings more than reminiscent of Doyle or Verne and absolutely hits the spot on the whole look and feel.

    I blame it on Terry Pratchett

    Years ago, at school, I picked up a book. I blame what happened next on Terry Pratchett.

    state of the bunny, 2015

    So it's a new year.

    The previous one has passed much like every other one did, with a bang as much as with a whimper. For a while here, it was sodding cold, and I mean real proper brass monkey weather. Right now it's barely below zero, and instead of snow we've got rain and ice. Seriously, I could skate down my driveway.

    "chrysalis vs hearth's warming" may be a little late

    I know, I know: I missed hearth's warming.

    Well, I'm still writing my christmas special so you'll just have to wait. I think it'll be worth it...

    it features everyone's favourite changeling queen and her endless quest to destroy all love and happiness everywhere - this time by blowing up cinder claws and destroying hearth's warming. And how that doesn't quite go according to plan...

    santa middymas is coming to town

    I made a list, I checked it twice. Not sure to find out how is naughty or nice...

    Anywag, the winners of my admittedly haphazard and wonky contest were:

things got worse · 8:16pm May 13th, 2014

I tried to think about all the things I'd want to say here, if I actually any of you could actually help, if I weren't cripplingly shy, if I thought shitting out personal woes all over the internet was in any way helpful. I'm sorry but I don't think it is. I don't want to sound passive-aggressive, I don't want to sound whiny and pathetic. I'm not going to claim I've thought about killing myself. I didn't, not really. If I were going to, I wouldn't say I was, for starters. There's just been a long litany of things that are proper narking me off right now and all I want is for them to stop narking me the fuck right off. Sadly, the universe is still the same cold, cruel, unfeeling, impersonal place it has been all my life and that's unlikely to change in the future. You might as well consider everything I'm still writing on hiatus because lord fucking knows I don't feel like writing right now. One day when I'm not such an abject failure and life stops - for whatever brief moment the fates allow - kicking me straight in the balls I'll have that joie de vivre back that means I'll actually show some fucking interest in what life drops in front of me. Right now I'm in crisis lockdown mode. There will not be future announcements through this channel until it is over, however it becomes over enough for me to give a fuck.

*hugs* Although I may not know you personally, know that we all love you and your work, and I hope things turn around soon.

I miss you, butt-nugget. Come chat in Skype one of these nights. :heart:

Shut up and take my hugs. :pinkiesad2:

Don't lose your confidence. Things will improve. :pinkiesad2:

Good luck.

Take the time you need an focus on yourself. You know friends will be there to aid.

Hugs, dude, mucho hugs. And don 't let the narkers drag you down. Easy to say but hard to do, I know. Been there. Just try to keep this in mind: the bloody narkers don't deserve a single iota of your happiness, so save it for yourself 'cause you're the only one who deserves it. :heart:

Mids you are a wonderful chap, please stay in touch

Ouch. Very sorry to hear that you are in a rough patch, and I just wanted to add my voice in support. Odds are that the universe will eventually give you a break, and the narkers will find someone else to nark on, but it's true that those are tough things to change oneself.

Still, if there is something that some pony-themed internet types can help with, please do speak up.

*hugs* I'm here, I'm always here for you...

I am very sorry to hear this. I want only good things for you.

<hugs> Here's hoping things get better for you, sooner rather than later. Your company will be missed.

*hugs* best of luck friend, you need anything, hit me up.

Yeah, the universe is cold and uncaring, but who gives a fuck about the universe when you have us?

We're here if you need us. Stay strong, cuz.

Good luck out there.
