Into the Breach · 8:15pm Jun 13th, 2012

Greetings to all Ponyfic fans. Today I venture into the universe that is actually posting my MLP fics *gasp* in public.

Firstly I'd like to thank Ariamaki for constantly supporting and advising on posting this first fic, Purely Scientific Interest. Would you believe I've been working on it on and off since December? It took a long time to get some parts of this right, believe me. But anyhoo, writing it at all was a challenge from him, which I hope lived up to the spirit of the original exchange, which I seem to have forgotten at some point because goddamn this fic got away from me. It's not the longest thing I've ever written, but it's definitely the longest one-shot by a wide margin.

I'd also like to thank Sleepless Brony once again for inspiring me to write this with his fic Like Fine Wine, which is sorta how I imagined Spike and Rarity hooking up just prior to PSI, though perhaps with not QUITE that much older characters. XD

Anyway. What you all can expect in the future.

I currently have one other smutty fic on the way that is mostly complete, pending a round of editing and an epilogue. It's called "Feels Like the First Time", a collaboration with a friend of mine from my earlier days in other fandoms when fanfiction.net ruled the roost of fanfic hubs. It's about 6 chapters and 40k words long and features a round-table of storytelling as each of our main cast relates the story of their "first time".

Secondly, a collaboration with Ariamaki! Keeping quiet on the details of this one 'til it's a little further along, as it's still in its infancy, but I'm really excited about it. (Yes it is smutty.)

I also have a couple of other, non-smutty fics in progress, one of which I actually started writing even before PSI, and has sadly fallen by the wayside. I hope to pick it back up now that this one's out of the way. "A Spike in the System" is the tentative title, and it too features Spike, Rarity and Twilight as the central characters, though in a decidedly different sort of dynamic. The other is a fairly cutesy CMC rotating-perspective fic titled "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and revolves around each of the crusaders' first crushes. This one is also a collaboration with the same friend I worked with on FLTFT, though is a ways off from finished yet.

That's it as far as in progress stuff. Future projects I'm not sure on, I'd like to get most of these done before I worry about new ideas, but there's a decent chance I'll take a stab at a one-off Celestia shippy fic for a contest over on ponychan......we'll see.

That's enough out of me for one blog post.

Cheers,
