    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.

Update time! · 3:38pm Sep 28th, 2015

Some of you may have noted that I'm currently writing a story set in a slightly altered version of the Equestria Girls universe. Further, some of you may have noted that I've been minimizing my exposure to the actual EG movies to broad plot outlines, so as to avoid any temptation to make choices that might make Transdementia seem like a "Fix Fic," (one of my least favorite fanfiction tropes, by the way). Thus, I was somewhat surprised to learn that the third such movie had already been released; in fact, I mostly deduced it from the stories popping up in the Feature Box. I bring this up because, from what I can tell, it now seems that the most significant deviation that this story has from the EG movies is not any of the cosmetic changes regarding the backgrounds of the characters, but rather the way magic works (or fails to work) in the human world. When this is all said and done, I just might have to watch these movies to see what DHX is actually doing.

In any case, I recently finished Chapter 6, and I hope to post it later tonight.

If you ever decide to watch the second Equestria Girls, I recommend following it up with Cafeteria Control by Justice(three numbers I can't remember).

Actually, you could probably do that just from watching the trailers, that's how he wrote the fic, afterall. It actually came out before the movie. And it is glorious crack, as long as you don't mind people being turned into parodies of themselves for stupid jokes.

Seeing as your story isn't crack, it's a lot more surprising that it works so well without direct exposure to the source material (frankly, so far I was unable to tell you hadn't seen it).
