Projects and Projections · 6:01pm Jul 21st, 2015
I always have the opposite of writer's block: too many ideas that I know I want to grow to fruition.
Apart from working on TSJ and OHC, currently I have three stories poking me mercilessly:
Zero: I have been rewriting a story related to the last episode of ponies over and over again, and was doing so during most of Trotcon. This will likely be the next story I post.
One: I just came up with a story idea today and I can't get it out of my head. I'm trying to ignore it.
Two: There is a very long-term story project I need to start piecing together. It's a secret. I am more than 99% certain it will be extremely popular on Fimfiction, but the reason I want to do it is the technical challenge. I have figured out how to do things with Fimfiction's system that I am probably not supposed to be able to do, but I doubt the mods will mind because I am not using the tricks to be evil. I plan to exploit them to my advantage.
In other news, the surgical implant is controlling the pain pretty well. Coming down off of narcotics is kind of like this, though:
Only five stories?
*eyes his own list of 22 dubiously*
Ah well, you'll catch up eventually.
Or be better about actually finishing stuff than I am. I still haven't finished the first fanfic I ever started. :V

I fear I have more than five. Those are just the ones on the top of the pile.

Also, I have no idea where I got the idea you were going to be at Trotcon. Not off drugs enough yet to recall things like that.

Clearly I was infiltrating the collective subconscious at the time and the signals got mixed up.
Where the heck did that gif come from :O

It was actually a super-long time ago, when the topic of Trotcon came up. Like, months back. That's all I can remember.
I think my new story is interesting. Maybe. I'm not sure if I should seek a prereader, or just go with my gut. My big concern is that it seems like it's something simple enough I should be able to lay it out in a single act, and yet I find myself doing it in five, and the middle one is a flashback. I can't stop adding more ideas.
Rarrr conflicted!

I rely pretty heavily on Let Me Google That For You, but unfortunately they haven't yet invented Let Me Right-Click That For You.
You and me both, horse, you and me both.
Good to hear that crazy contraption is still helping the pain. I must admit I'm intensely curious of just what the heck it looks like.

You can't see anything from the outside apart from a small silver-dollar-sized lump on my right collarbone where the battery and computer are housed. You can feel the wires under my skin, however.

I had no idea you could right-click to search for images! :O Also, it's apparently actually from Daring Don't? I saw a version with the Hub logo...

Well, I meant you could right-click to see the source location and discover it came from giphy. But yes, right-click GIS is your friend.
It's pretty much the only way to handle tumblr porn. When you find an image, you want to find the best version of it, and GIS helps. When it doesn't help, you go to matching images to see if one is any larger, and then GIS that image until you find a selection of sizes.
In some cases it actually helps to use Bing to find initial images first, then GIS to get the selection. This is particularly true for erotic art or art that might be seen as questionable even if it's G-rated, because Google heavily censors its image search results if you omit certain keywords.
You must practice your Google-fu, grasshopper.

That sounds...uncomfortable. But hey, at least you're part cyborg now! Always wanted that. With a little effort (like a shock of lightning), that computer could connect to your brain and augment its functions, giving you the ability to hyper calculate and process information, turning you into a mastermind.
