    If

    Sometimes, I make the mistake of looking at my stories here and their comment sections, and I get that old itch to make pony stuff again. I had a lot of fun doing it, after all, and I do love to entertain. I still have a lot of trouble getting any creative work done, of course. I haven't even had any real interest in it for quite a while, now. But even beyond that... well...

    A Collab Relic

    A few years back, Samey90 and I started writing a story. A story about a little group of young pony friends hanging out at a lake. We did most of the writing on it, but it kinda fell by the wayside. I drifted away from ponies and retired, and it looked as though the fic might never see the light of day. But now, that story has finally been

    A Surprise Shadowbolts Story

    Do you like the Crystal Prep Shadowbolts? Do you like stories with romance in them? Do you like a grittier and more realistic (and cynical) take on Equestria Girls? Then you might want to have a look at the story below the break. I think you'll like what you find.

    And no, it's definitely not the Shadowbolts Adventures series, if that's what you guessed by who's doing this promotion.

    The New Fimfic

    Is it April again already? Because this new site update is a joke.

    Edit: Okay, it's not a complete joke. There's actually a lot of good stuff in this new update. Bugfixes and cool stuff galore. Buuuut there are also some not-so-good changes, and the flood of new code seems to have broken... everything, at one point or another.

An Interesting Phenomenon · 12:26pm Nov 18th, 2015

I've noticed an odd trend around here. Whenever I blog about some project and say I'm going to do it, said project never gets done. Curious thing, that.

On a related note, about that Dark Spectrum sequel...

I'm sorry, but I don't think it's ever going to happen. It's been almost two years and I have next-to-nothing to show for it. Same set of notes and scenes as all that time ago. Despite originally wanting to make it a trilogy in the first place, it just doesn't seem to be happening, because I'm not sure exactly where to take it anymore. That mixed with waning passion, my extended writing slump, and just plain being more interested in other ideas has pretty much slain the costumed beastie. I think I got a fair few followers just from that story, so I really am sorry to let you guys down. If that's all you followed me for, I guess you can unwatch me, if you want. No hard feelings, I'd understand. I'm sorry for stringing you along for so long, but I really was holding out hope that I'd eventually be able to deliver, but I don't think it's going to come to pass. You probably would've been disappointed anyway, because I never intended to continue the superhero themes beyond the first story, and that seems to have been what people liked the most.

However, the last Seattle's Angels podcast gave me an idea. In all likelihood, the story isn't going to come out, but I can at least do something for all the people who want to know the rest of the story: tell you. I do have a set of notes and a loose outline, and if you really wanted, I could lay it all out and tell you what was most likely going to happen. You'd at least get to see the story, if not in full-fledged form. Shall I just tell everybody, would you prefer to keep holding your breath in anticipation, or does anyone even care anymore?

Edit: I'll take the silence on the matter as an indication that nobody cares. Cool with me. Consider the project dead.

Hmm, so if you blog about the project that is not going to be done, does it mean that it may be done after all? :derpyderp2:

3550475 But what if project was not kill?

3550504 I'd give it one last shot. Take one last chance. When you reach that point where everyone would normally give up... JUST DO IT!

I tried to find a youtube video, but got distracted halfway through and somehow ended up watching a video about an old italian dagger/sword...

Then story would undead.

You planned out an entire trilogy? Geez, that's some dedication to your ideas. Not anymore, I guess.
