    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.

FIGHT! · 11:35pm May 16th, 2016

I've got a new story for you all to read. It's another chimera story (my fourth one, if you haven't been counting), and it features a big ol' fight scene between the triplets and everyone's favorite Dragon Lord.* I think you'll like it.

If you need to catch up, the earlier stories are here:
Apex
On the Courtship Behavior of Swamp-Dwelling Chimeras
Let's Kill Tirek

If you don't need to catch up, feel free to listen to the song that's been stuck in my head for the last two days:

(Yes, I'm aware that the video is kind of dull, but given that The Chap is a somewhat artsy band, I think it might be intentional counterpoint to the song's lyrical content. Geez, that sounded pretentious, didn't it?)

* No, Spike doesn't count. He was Dragon Lord for, like, 30 seconds.

Possibly, but it's a dangerous artistic choice if so. Intentionally dull, like intentionally annoying, is still going to turn off the audience unless done really well.

Fortunately, if it does get too slow I can just play the video in one tab and do something else in another while listening.
