    So here's the dealio: depression isn't fun. When I first heard of a person who had it, I laughed and thought he was being a bit of a ninny. As it turns out, it's something else entirely, and when your life so far has been a veritable trainwreck of bad decisions made by inexperience and apathy, you realize the hooks were already in deep before you truly began to realize what the nature of this

    No, I'm not dead. If you've not realized it yet, updates that take upwards of a month to do is a normal thing for me.

    S4: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies

    Better late than never!

    - Breezies. Tiny butterfly pony-people that speak a flargen-floogen language. This amuses me greatly, to the point where I believe this is the first episode in a long time that I went back to rewatch.
    - It's all Spike's fault, and he's still a doormat.

Woo, finals, coming up. Yeah, that's cool. Now on to the important stuff:

===

Want to learn how to write, and write well? Read this. Shamelessly taken from the Solar Flare Review group, it touches off on some minor fanfiction points pertaining to anime and books, but otherwise is a very solid general guide on how to write fanfiction.

For any fledgling author, that guide will explain loads of things to you that I only know works because I 'know' it does on some whimsical memory. Yeah, my grammatical and English skill is all essentially a sixth sense to me, most likely bred into me through my years of browsing the Internet and book-reading.

===

Musical inspiration while writing the most recent Ghost Recon chapter:

Fortune Soul and Sacred River by Blackmill.
Thought Flight by Drudex.
Self vs Self by Pendulum and In Flames, and also the only known melodic death metal and DNB collaboration in existence.
We're In This Together by the Nine Inch Nails.
Two Weeks by All That Remains.
Burn My Shadow by Unkle.

===

I also have at three or four more stories in the works that I intend to pursue after I finish my current set of stories. Yep. So many ideas, so many stories, so little time. I have a penchant for doing HiE, but mostly, I like to make mine unique, with a different story, lots of depth, and deep fictional background, and not just a generic contemporary-human-in-Equestria sort of thing. I like sci-fi and fantasy. Expect a lot of that to be involved in my future HiE fictions.

===

Next chapter up for release is for Light My Heart Afire. Look forward to it. -wink-

YES. I'm am so happy that there is a good Spitfire fic out there that doesn't depict her as a slut. I absolutly love this story and it's now on my favorites list.

Looking forward for the new chapter.

161681 Thanks. The whole reason why I made it was actually because of so many fictions depicting her as such. :twilightblush:

161685 It's kinda sad since she's one of my favorite ponies but doesn't get many fics written about her. When i found your fic though I was like,

Looking forward to the new chapter and publishing my next fic.
