    One Last Update

    Hey all. As my last blog said, and as you've probably noticed, I've basically left the site. Comments from me are very rare and I expect blogs (like this one) will be even rarer. But interesting times have gotten even more interesting, so I'm back for one final message.

    Black Lives Matter, my dudes.

    Updates, and Endings

    Been a while, eh? A part of me wants to put a joke there, maybe a "kept you waiting, huh?" reference, but I don't think this is the blog for it.

    Just a heads up, this isn't going to be a fun blog.

    Galacon Was Fun

    Well, strictly speaking, Galacon itself was a massive let-down. Only a single writing-related panel during the entire convention and it was awful. It was also apparently part two, when part one happened last year? Bloody stupid.

    But that's ok, because I had the good sense to stay away from that nonsense, and hung out with some cool Horse People instead.

Don't. For the love of God, please don't start this crap again.

Concur.

Your blog is a sinking ship amongst the tide of the oneshots.
Don't sink, Plum.
You must rise.
And kill all the heretics.
:heart:

I'll get right on not writing anything for Oneshotober.

I don't think I could do this without wanting to kill myself. >.>

I write one chapter every two weeks. Holy shit man I can't even do this even if I want to.

I completely agree.

...Can we still write one-shots, so long as they're not part of one-shotober? because it's how I write stories: Chapter Story, One Shot, Chapter Story, One Shot, and so on, and I just finished writing a Chapter story

I have no problems with one-shots. But the way Oneshotober is set up is perfectly crafted for dozens of users churning out piles of crap.

One-shots are fine. Taking part in challenges to inspire your writing is fine. Trying to come up with 31 unique stories at once, and posting all the attempts one at a time without enough time to edit/improve upon them is not.

2444765 Okay. I never really understood what this whole thing was about.

By the way, Nice new avatar! nothing like an alicorn. I feel like expositioning headcanon on the subject of the 6 species of alicorn now:trollestia:

Luckily I already did it in my group
