    Coming Up Next...

    So after a long time of relative inactivity, I'm now relatively back. My current plan is to finish Holy Land and Room to Grow in parallel. Both stories are more than halfway done, and especially with Holy Land I need to just get through it. That story did not come about naturally. I had conceived it as a huge 100,000 word+ story, but there's just no time for that anymore.

    BlndDog in the Big City

    I've been in Toronto for two weeks. Got a bachelor suite that I don't have to share, and it's great. Incredible, given the price. No suspicious stains in the bathtub, no brown stuff baked onto the stove, and there's so much shelf space in the kitchen. And food is cheap here.

    I didn't splurge on a memory foam mattress, so unfortunately I can't do this:

    The Move

    I've started selling off furniture, looking at plane tickets and sending housing inquiries. By the end of August I'll be in an unfurnished bachelor's flat in Toronto with a suitcase, two at most. It's definitely the biggest move I've had to do on my own. You can't take much when you're traveling by plane. It's going to be hectic and stressful and very exciting. In February I was in Toronto for 2

    1/4 way to 1000000

    With the new chapter of Holy Land, I have officially published over 250,000 words on this site. As a comparison, the OED contains entries for just 171,476 unique words in current use. I'm doing way better than those hacks at the dictionary factory!

    Fact or Fiction by The (late) Big Bad Borox, Revisited: Largely the same amount of grammatical problems, and the same story

    A few months is a long time. Long enough for Big Bad Borox to become Barnside, the hero of… barn sides, I guess. My personal head canon is that the current author is actually the adopted daughter or son of the original Big Bad Borox, who died as he lived, balls deep in a hog and firing two assault rifles into the air.

    Thank you Cards against Humanity and Mad Libs.

So I just figured out the difference between the "Other" and "OC" tags. Seeing that Twilight won't be showing up that often, I've replaced her tag with "OC". The contents of the story hasn't changed, just the tags.

Chapter 13 will be going live this Thursday. Here's a short, out-of-context preview:

“Hello sweetie, how was your day?”

“It was great, mommy! You won’t believe who’s in my class…”

Scootaloo trailed off. She had had this conversation before, but in a different place. Her mother—a light brown unicorn with piercing green eyes—smiled pleasantly from the hallway of her Ponyville house.

“Mom?”

The word sounded so strange coming from her mouth. She couldn’t recall the last time she said it to anypony.

“What’s wrong?”

“You…” The idea came and went like a skittish mouse, but it was beginning to solidify in her mind. “You… You’re not my mom, are you?”
