    That Time of the Season Once Again

    Hello all, hope everybody is having a good holiday.

    I'm a bit too hopped up on eggnog right now to really go into depth, but for anybody who remains who cares to hear it, I'll try and have a status update pretty soon.

    Hope everybody is enjoying the season! Merry Christmas~!

    I found some VINTAGE Brony Meme Stupidity in the back of my closet

    So, no real work done on anything creative right now, my dudes. Still working through my shit. Getting a lot of therapy, but unfortunately the "greater situation" I'm dealing with is both existential, ongoing, and an annoyingly hot topic right now, so it's an uphill battle.

    Happy Yearly Holiday Update

    Huh. I wonder if anybody still checks this page. I've been pretty dead on this site for a while now.

    Happy Holidays to everybody out there who still finds themselves entranced by stories of technicolor equines. I hope everybody is having a Merry Christmas.

    The Yearly Holiday Janitorial Update

    *peeks in*

    ...Is anybody even still watching this space?

    So, another year has gone by and I'm afraid, once again, I have little to show for it.

    Christmas Wishes, Apologies, and Updates

    Hello, everybody. Long time no... well... anything really.

    It's been exactly one year since I've given anybody here any blog whatsoever, and that was just a quick Christmas gag. It's been even longer since I've actually given anybody any updates on any of my stories or what's going on in my life.

It's time I got things back on track. Time to experiment. WITH SCIENCE! · 7:19pm Sep 27th, 2014

So I'm going to try something that I've considered trying in the past.

It might go really poorly. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly and I won't make a massive fool of myself... and hopefully nothing major will interrupt me. That's never something that can be completely assured though.

I'm going to try streaming.

I know that must not sound like a revolutionary concept. After all, plenty of artists do that very thing. But I've never seen a writer do it. That may be because it'll turn out to be boring as hell. Heck, I almost anticipate it to be. Let's face it, watching words form slowly on a screen is not exactly as interesting as watching the process of visual art (which itself can be pretty boring when watched.) That said, if anybody shows up, maybe having some eyes on me will kick me into gear and I can finally get my groove back...

...or maybe I'll freeze up and find myself incapable of writing for fear of doing something stupid.

I honestly don't know. This is a 100% experimental endeavor.

If it works, I may do it more than just this once. If it doesn't, this will be a one-time thing that I hope everybody will be willing to forget about :twilightsheepish:

In the comments it'd be nice if you could vote for which story you'd like me to write (it sure would be nice if I could tag more than one story at once so that I could reach out to all my ongoing story readers). I also can't guarantee that I won't be called away in the middle of it. I live with my grandmother and she needs assistance with a lot of things.

And even if the general content is unorthodox for streaming, there'll be music, and I'll TRY to take the time to answer questions, so it'll also be something of a Q&A and maybe you'll get to hear me awkwardly tell a story or three about my incredibly uninteresting life.

I'm going to try and start the thing tomorrow (Sunday, September 28th) around mid-afternoon. Probably around 3:00 p.m., Central-Standard Time, so adjust that for wherever you live. I have no idea when it'll end, but hopefully I'll have the energy to keep going for a while, assuming it works at all. It's worth mentioning I haven't used livestream in YEARS (save for viewing it of course) and I'm not sure I remember how everything works.

I'll post a link when I start it. Hopefully I'll see some of you there!

I vote for the very good and promising fanfic I favourited :
"Super Smash Brothers: Disharmony"

jz1

Apple Bloom: Transform and Roll Out

Apple Bloom: Transform and Roll Out by far

Sunday at 4, got it. My vote goes for ponyfall first, then transformers because of that evil cliffhanger.

Apple Bloom: Transform and ROll Out.

I'd love to join in, but my computer doesn't like live-streaming video. In any case, I certainly hope this gets you writing again.

Seems like an interesting experiment. Just don't accept chat input... can you imagine "FIMFiction writes fanfic"? :pinkiesick:
That said, I vote for Apple Bloom: Transform and Roll Out!.

Considering I live in Europe, it might be difficult for me to join. :applecry:
However, I wish you good luck. I also vote for Applebloom: Transform and Roll Out!

2488387 This one. Applebloom need to roll or her wheels will get rusty!

Apple bloom transform and roll out

Smash. All of the Smash. All day errey day.

I'd suggest that you keep up the commentary while you write. I have a friend who livestreams and he has pretty much zero unique stuff that he broadcasts EXCEPT his commentary. That's what draws the audience. :)

Super Smash Brothers:Disharmony.

Apple Bloom. Work on that one or you'll make her sad enough to smash your face in with her hammer :applecry:

Ponyfall! Yay!

Umm...I'm afraid that if this goes poorly, then whichever story you work on will be...(no offence intended) poorly written in that part. If this happens, will you be able to fix your mistakes? I really have enjoyed AppleBloom: TaRO so far, and I hope you continue that one soon, but I wouldn't want it to come out badly if you're under too much stress. (I also hope you have minimal stress anyway.)

2489613 If I end up writing shit, then I presume when I send it off to my (thankfully very honest) friend for proofreading, he'll tell me it's shit and it needs fixing. I'm hopeful I won't write shit in the first place, though :twilightoops:

2489686 Alright, good to know, and if it's worth anything, I hope it's not shit too. :twilightsmile:

Applebloom, nuff said

AB: Taro... Hmm, when did Applebloom turn into a Japanese Yam?:derpytongue2:

Also, 3pm CST... Curse you time zonessssss! I'm 12 hours ahead so for me it would be... 3am. Darn. Might be able to, might not, we shall see:pinkiesad2:

I vote for Applebloom:pinkiesmile:

Aww... I won´t be able to join, cause I live in Europe and have to work tomorrow.
Anyway, I vote Smash Bros. :pinkiehappy:
Or wait, no, I vote for Apple Bloom! :pinkiegasp:
...
Dear God, why can´t I choose!? :raritydespair:
