Wow. Visiting this site again was like going back to my old neopets page. So much nostalgia.

    Where art thou, oh Artichoke?

    Sorry, I'm a bit busy. I had two hobbies before I got a job. Writing here, and developing AI. I hit a wall here with the new changeling episode, but in my AI development, I found a highway.

    Look at my AI! My AI is amazing!

    The New Hive Super Edit

    Just letting you guys know I nearly redid the entire last chapter because of a few complaints I got. (In case re-publishing didn't work.) They were definitely valid, even if I didn't agree 100% with the reasoning behind them, and now I think my story's much better because of the changes I made.

    Keep up the constructive criticism!

    Would you like a collab?

    I've actually been thinking of adding some collaboration into 'The New Hive' since its inception. I can't really create a realistic representation of humanity all by myself after all.

    Waiting for editors to compile...

    So, my next chapter's done. Just need to wait for editors to do their thing. And from what I can see from the first editor, I made quite a few mistakes.

    Well, now I have guilt-free free time... What should I do... Hmm...

First time submitting a story to... everything. I think I'll keep track of which methods work the best. · 7:40pm Mar 21st, 2015

Okay, I might have gone a bit overboard with that 'Combat Training' story.

I think so far I've submitted it to Equestria Daily, the new version of Twilight's Library, the Writers Group, Shameless Self Promotion, a whole lot of other groups, and now I'm writing a blog post.

So far, I think the click-bait-y method I used in Shameless Self Promotion worked the best, as it gave me a comment, and possibly a few votes, but I can't really tell with the votes. I'll have to wait until it gets through EqD and all the other review groups before I can tell how well any of those work.

Also, since I like the character, I might be adding a few sequels and expanding the world around her, so if I can keep that up, then I'll see how much feedback constant posting gives.



That's right, through regular training and with all the best tools available to pony fanfiction, I'll see if can become one of the best attention whores horse word writers in pony fanfiction.

NOOOOOOO....
I fell for click-bait!
Ehh, it was worth it:facehoof:

Muahahahaha! :pinkiecrazy:

But honestly, click-bait takes a lot more effort to make that I thought it would. It has to be pretty small, maybe one or two lines at most in length; it has to talk about something that a lot of people can relate to; and it has to pique curiosity.

It's like an art, an art that's often barely related what it represents.
