    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.

First Lemmy, then Bowie, now Rickman. · 9:24pm Jan 14th, 2016

Are there any other cancer-stricken British celebrities I should be aware of? I'm getting tired of unpleasant surprises.

I didn't know any of them had cancer, so all three came as a shock. Lemmy and Bowie didn't hit as close to home as Rickman, though. 2016 is really starting to piss me off.

Tim Curry is also British, 69, and not in the best of health.

So... yeah. :pinkiesad2:

Things like this usually happen in threes.

3686285 - Well, if you include Natalie Cole (for those who aren't familiar with 70's R&B, she's the one who sang "Everlasting Love"), that actually makes four celebrities, but she was American, and she died of heart failure.

Tim Curry I think has cancer.

:fluttercry:

I am getting worried/paranoid about Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen. And Helen Mirren, come to think. Not because they are sick or in poor health, but 2016 has me gun-shy now.

Brian Blessed had to leave teh stage a couple months back due to partially collapsing,but seems to be up again.

Christopher Lee died only a month or so ago.

In Terry Pratchetts Discworld, Christopher Lee played the part, voice and character actor, of DEATH, Alan Rickman played the part, in a coupl of movies, of The Patrician. Lord Havelock Vetinary. Tyrant Assasin.

Somewhere in a dark realm, theres a very scary game of chess just starting.

Lee died more than a month ago, mang.

I worry about Ozzy, Geezer, and Tony myself.
Let it not be so.

I heard that John Cleese is also very ill, but it could be due to depression and old age.

Not British, but Celine Dion's husband Rene just kicked off to the afterlife courtesy of cancer at 73.

Well, Sir Ian Mckellen and Sir John Hurt have prostate cancer, sadly, but at the moment it's posing no real threat to their lives; they both seem to be keeping it under control thanks to the miracles of new treatments :yay:

But I just can't believe that Snape is really gone. He really cut my heart out with a spoon when I found out. RIP

Given that Pratchett himself sadly passed away last year, it just lends credence to my theory that God is having Pratchett put together the greatest Discworld production of all time.

Although I don't think Rickman ever did play Vetinari, even though he would have been awesome in the role.

I was mistaken in the movie productions. turns out it was the Other bad guy from Die Hard 2 (?) Jeremy Irons.

But the pencil drawing on theDiscworld Wiki is essentially of Alan Rickman.
