    If

    Sometimes, I make the mistake of looking at my stories here and their comment sections, and I get that old itch to make pony stuff again. I had a lot of fun doing it, after all, and I do love to entertain. I still have a lot of trouble getting any creative work done, of course. I haven't even had any real interest in it for quite a while, now. But even beyond that... well...

    A Collab Relic

    A few years back, Samey90 and I started writing a story. A story about a little group of young pony friends hanging out at a lake. We did most of the writing on it, but it kinda fell by the wayside. I drifted away from ponies and retired, and it looked as though the fic might never see the light of day. But now, that story has finally been

    A Surprise Shadowbolts Story

    Do you like the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts? Do you like stories with romance in them? Do you like a grittier and more realistic (and cynical) take on Equestria Girls? Then you might want to have a look at the story below the break. I think you'll like what you find.

    And no, it's definitely not the Shadowbolts Adventures series, if that's what you guessed by who's doing this promotion.

    The New Fimfic

    Is it April again already? Because this new site update is a joke.

    Edit: Okay, it's not a complete joke. There's actually a lot of good stuff in this new update. Bugfixes and cool stuff galore. Buuuut there are also some not-so-good changes, and the flood of new code seems to have broken... everything, at one point or another.

I Don't Know What Comes · 7:57pm Jun 7th, 2014

Things have been really crazy for me lately, and I honestly don't know what the future holds for me. For all I know, I could wind up on the street in a few weeks. I certainly hope not, but it would be foolish to assume that such was impossible. Why should you care? Well, it would mean that I wouldn't be producing any more stories for a while. I'm not looking for pity or anything, I'm just letting you know that I may drop off the radar in the near future.

That being said, I'm pouring a lot of energy into revising Dark Spectrum and working on the sequel. Based on how much that story has spread outside of the site and its popularity (though it hasn't really been that much), it's probably what most people will remember me for. If I have a legacy, it'll probably either be Dark Spectrum, as one of the decent writers of Diamond Tiara stories, or as the guy who writes stories where Nothing Happens. Dark Spectrum has always been hard for me to write, which is why the sequel still isn't even close to being finished. I have to be in a dark place to be able to properly write it, and, well, I kinda am right now. I'm gonna try to buckle down and work on it for you guys that wanted to see it. I need to get it done already.

That's really all I had to say, so I'm gonna stop now. Have a nice day.

I just read that entire blog post in FPSRussia's voice.

Sometimes we all need just a little bit of nothing happening to even out the highs and lows of life. Thanks for what you do. Have a nice day too.

I have a (not really unpleasant, but I'd rather be known for something else) feeling that I'm gonna be remembered as "that guy who wrote this story about a bat pony buying socks".

Also, just when I totally have no time for writing, I'm flooded with ideas. I feel that tonight I'll wake up and write a feelsy scene using pen and paper... (I used to write lots of things like that, but since I started to write fanfics, there was only one scene I wrote that way... And it was in Tools...)

Really hope you don't end up on the streets. Hopefully you'll get some luck soon.

Sad to hear that... I'm prayin' for ya. Just stay positive and plan the coming days wisely, and you should pull through. Rock on!

Most of my time is spent on nothing, with a few highs and lows here and there.

There are certainly worse things to be known for, heh. And yeah, ideas always come at the most inconvenient of times. I always keep a notepad next to my bed, as a result.

Me too, man. Me too.

I'll do my best.

I hope for only the best for you man. Just remember that life is going to beat the shit out of you... and sometimes even break your back. You know what you do? Some push ups and then beat it right the fuck back. You just have to believe. I don't care what you believe in but just believe. No fate but what we make.

If ever you are in the need to talk to people just remember you have friends and fans willing to listen! ...and quote a whole bunch of movie references!

You gotta keep on keepin' on. Life's a garden, dig it? You make it work for you. You know, life is like a mop. Sometimes life gets full of dirt, and crud, and bugs, and hairballs and stuff, and you gotta clean it out. You gotta rinse it off and start all over again. And sometimes, life sticks to the floor so hard that a mop, a mop is not good enough. It's not good enough. You gotta get down there with, like, a toothbrush, you know, and you gotta really scrub. You gotta get it off! You gotta really try to get it off, but if that doesn't work.... If that doesn't work, you can't give up! You gotta stand right up, you gotta run to a window and say, "Hey! These floors are dirty as Hell, and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"

Thanks, man.
