    Update (Without excuses this time!)

    Guess what? I'm done writing the next chapter of Manifesto.

    I just need to give my prereaders a day or two to look over it, and then it'll go up.

    Until then, here's Despacito being played on a guzheng.

    Hey, everyone.

    I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.

    Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.

    Update.

    Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for

    New Story Incoming

    In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.

ooo, very nice
much a thanks for sharing this

That's oddly hypnotic. Thanks for sharing!

Now I want to look up more of this band's work, so I suppose your mission is a success.

This is bucking awesome :rainbowkiss:

Sounds like the theme to some piratey TV series.

That said, Vitamin Records has been making "String Quartet Tributes" for nearly a decade now, so there's a lot to go through. Just search for "String Quartet Tribute to [Insert Artist/Band Name Here]," and odds are fairly good that you'll come up with something. And that includes bands that by all rights shouldn't have their songs covered by a string quartet.

Actually, I just followed your first video's link back to youtube and they had a playlist on their account.

The contents of this blog post remind me of Discworld.
