    An ending

    Credit due RandomPerson for shouting enough times into the void. Originally my response to just them privately, I feel it saves me writing it twice and captures something nicely to instead post this here, for anyone else who might yet wander by and, of course, for Random.

    Reviews for writers

    That's a working title, but the gist is this:

    I've started a little project whereby I'll be reading and reviewing stories, in the spirit of sprinkling a little more attention and perspective on where you might need it.

    Valentine's eve

    While I've always semi-seriously (but not really) been an advocate for Valentine's eve - the night and counter-festival for hate, spite, apathy, loneliness and indulgent negativity...

    An unconsolidated thought

    The next chapter of Washed Up will be available tonight or - failing that - tommorow.

    On to idle words:

    A thought that I've had bouncing around for a time was to compare the stories of Starcraft 1 and 2. Ever since I first glanced a sunken colony over our korean exhcnage student's shoulder, I was enamoured with the korpulu sector.

CHatNM and other things of incredible import · 12:55pm Jul 26th, 2012


If you've heard the rap by some dude named "drowning in footwear" from a while back have a bash.

Now, if you're asking "ambion, what's the relevance of this?" 1:34. I have a glow in the dark blind bag Rarity. She's my only blindbag pony and I love her. A 12 year old little girl (whose a rabid brony, and its important to her I make sure its understand she dislikes the term pega-sister greatly! though can you even be a brony if you're practically target demographic? Yes. Yes you can.) tried to steal Rariglow /Glowity (successfully) and in the middle of a town I had to steal it back. I took like five minutes, but I was relentless, she was determined. It was a glorious struggle for the ages.
I couldn't make this up if I wanted to.
Point is, such are then shenanigans that happen when I go away for the weekend, and such is the thing i'm doing today (early start,on the weekend!)

So to whatever compassionete people droppde CHatNM a chance and decided hey "its not too bad" know that it;ll be delayed a bit longer. It's mostly written, but it needs finishing and finishing touches...

Point is, if I can steal some keyboard time while I'm away, I'll get it done as much as possible. If not, my apologies.

As for other thingies - Working Title "Skipping Stones" (One shot to the natures of Sweet Dreams and Finding Solace) is moving along stately, but I've given precedence to being regular with CHatNM.

Ponies vs Starcraft - three are in the works (by works i mean i have the idea xD) Applejack vs Hellion, Luna vs Dark Templar, Emperor Manesk vs Shipping..

So in the meantime, in stereotypically (and surrogate) Irish tradition, I'll raise a toats to you guys. If I remember to. They'll be up when they're up, and I'll keep em moving along, even if its slowly for the time being.

I'll raise a glass to you. Can't wait to see your new Starcraft titles. I'm hoping they'll be better than your last two. It seemed pretty clear you were following a pattern with Iron Will, and at the end of DJ-PON3 and the nuke, in that things would work out because characters (typically from MLP) are just FREAKING AWESOME YEAH!. That can cool when written well and each story works on it's own without falling back on on anything, but those two seemed kind of bareboned and generic. It's better when you apply some kind of context with them, like Twilight's psychosis in "vs. Cerebrate." That was also pretty cool because you were making fun of tropes, like caster units vs. dps. Manesk has potential to avoid that since it's a concept and not an actual battle (or will it?) And Applejack doesn't actually have any kind of super powers, like magic, breaking the sound barrier, the Stare, or applying cartoon physics.

Thank you for the insight, and I will keep these in mind as the next stories develop (I've only just gotten back from what has been easily the weirdest weekend of my life thus far.)

Im only back for a few days before I -have- to leave again, for an extended period, but I plan to write ahead in the meantime.

I want a blot post of the weirdest week of your life.

I would not legally be allowed to post the lion's share of it, and I'm still emotionally shocked and tender from certain elements of it.
