    Merry Christmas, all!

    My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in

    Nothing this year, sorry

    Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something

    More burned out than I thought

    Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.

    Shocking, I know.

    Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though

    It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?

    Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

    Christmas Updates!

    Merry Christmas!

    As I've done every year since I started writing, I have updates here for you on Christmas day.

    ( It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

A very belated response to the season four finale · 8:22am May 20th, 2014

I only have two real thoughts on the matter:

Firstly, "I'm not really certain the power show was necessary," but that doesn't really matter.

Secondly, though: "I wish I had finished Sharing the Night by now because absolutely no one is going to believe that spoiler is where I was going all along."

Seriously. One of the big dramatic moments I have planned, and it's kind of sort of already been done, in a way. I'm not going to change my plans, but still, it's a little disheartening. Oh well, I only have myself to blame. At least I got to the library first. Sure, they destroyed it, but I base-delta-zero'd the everfree castle, so I'll call it even.

Other than that, not a whole lot to say! Sharing the Night Chapter 11 is sitting at 11k words, I just have some tweaking to do and it'll be off to the prereaders, assuming they'll still talk to me.

Funny thing. In the time since I last read this story I have stopped reading this type of story... sorry...:applecry:

Dude! good to see you back!

Oh, Sharing the Night is updating soon? That's excellent. It's very enjoyable with a good mix of character exploration and comedy, even if the pacing is a little off sometimes. A very good story overall. If my 'favorites' list and my 'watched' list could be separated out the way they were when the site was younger, Sharing the Night would stay on my much smaller favorites list.

I'm sure it will be fine. It might be frustrating as a writer to have your story ideas pre-empted, but as a reader, I wouldn't be reading MLP fanfiction if I was offended by a story related to one in MLP canon.

Can't wait :3

You're saying you've... abandoned ship? :trixieshiftright:

Oh I would never go down with a ship.
But I still serve aboard the warships since they have all the canon. But all those dinghies, not to mention those tugboats, putter about in waters I don't cruise.

Yay! Update soon!
And I'd rather the everfree castle be gone than Twilight's home. (I mean, she practically lives in a cave now).
