Hello! · 6:39am Jan 16th, 2012

Hi everyone!

First of all, thanks so much to everyone for all of their kind comments so far on my first three stories! I really appreciate it! :) All of the stories I will be uploading here are already on my DA/FF.net accounts, so if you are in a mad rush to find something I wrote, please feel free to look there! However, I will be uploading everything to this account too, but slowly, so if you prefer to wait, that's fine too!

Also, you can find me on EqD! So if you feel like seeing when they were originally posted, please feel free to look me up! I dream of someday having a 'Star-6' story, so maybe someday you guys will see one of my stories on the 6-Star list of authors! :D http://www.equestriadaily.com/search/label/Author%3A%20Jimbo

I made an update on my DA recently, though, so I thought it bore repeating here. Unfortunately, since I'm a full-time student right now AND trying to finish my last semester in my degree- life is very, very hectic!!! So I don't have as much time for writing as I did in my first few semesters when FiM was just starting out. So, unfortunately, I wouldn't be expecting a lot of updates from me until the summer, although I will be trying to add updates in any free time I may get. :)

Thanks again for all of your kind feedback, everyone! I really appreciate it! Also, since I just realized that no one knows me here yet (LOL), I thought I'd add some simple facts about me you might not know!

Happy reading!

Author FAQ:

Q: Where can I find your works?
A: Fanfiction.net, Deviantart, Livejournal and Equestria Daily! The first three are linked to the left of this blog; for my fics published on EqD, please hit this link: http://www.equestriadaily.com/search/label/Author%3A%20Jimbo (I will add this to the link list, too!)

Q: Is your real-life name Jimbo?/Why do you have a boy name and a girl avatar?
A: Nope, my name is not Jimbo! You see, I'm actually a girl IRL! I actually chose the nickname 'Jimbo' from a fic I wrote the first time I was on /co/, back when they had this fascination in shipping Jim (from Treasure Planet) with Dimitri (from Anastasia.) Ahh, good times... My avatar is a purple unicorn named Jimbo, and her symbol is an owl, one of my most favorite birds!

Q: When did you get into the FiM fandom?
A: I got into the fandom very early after it began, actually! That is why you may notice a lot of my stories look 'new' but have very old post dates - I wrote some of the first ones for /co/, back when it was rare to have fanfiction at all! Wild, huh?

Q: When did you get into ponies for the first time?
A: When I was a little kid in the 80s/90s! I had a pretty big herd of pony toys when I was little, and I've been a part of the MLP fandom online for six years now. Wow! Time sure flies! So if you see some elements in a fanfic that you don't recognize from G4, they might just be from G1!

Q: Some of your stories contradict information we've already seen in the show's canon - e.g. Pinkie Pie's parents run a rock farm, they're not dead!
A: Well, back when I originally wrote them, most of Season 1 hadn't happened yet, much less Season 2! So although I'm sure a lot of the stuff I'm writing will be contradicted, I'm just working with the material I have at the time. (And since most of my current stories were written months and months ago - lots of stuff is being contradicted! LOL)

Q: Do you appreciate us pointing out mistakes in your fanfics?
A: Absolutely! I'm sure I've made mistakes along the way, since most of my free time happens when I'm sleepless at midnight, so if you see any grammatical/canonical errors, please feel free to point them out! However, if they seem like obvious things that have only been seen in later episodes, please consider that these might have been written before that episode even happened, so ... it might be a moot point to go back and change it now!

Q: Do you like us to leave you comments and questions?
A: Absolutely!! I love to hear from my readers, even if it's a simple 'hey I liked this' or 'hey are you writing anything with X and Y?' :) Basically, it just lets me know that there are people out there, and that I'm not writing into a void.

Have any more questions? Shoot them my way, I'd be happy to answer them!
