My stories tend to focus on emotional drama, especially family drama--and much feels, to boot. Buy me a Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/brokenimage321

    Random Brainstorming: Celestia X Sombra Nextgen?

    I'm a sucker for next-gens, plus tragic stories of star-crossed lovers. I recently stumbled across some art that reminded me of an idea that scratched both itches, and I'm curious what you think.

    Random Headcanon: Sunburst and Sunset are the Same Pony, Pre- and Post-Transition

    I've always liked the idea that Sunburst and Sunset are related somehow. This headcanon fills in some gaps in EQG canon while playing off that idea. I'm not sure I believe it myself, but it's a fun idea.

    Any Deaf/HoH folks on here?

    Hey, odd question: any Deaf/HoH bronies on here? I'd like to consult about a story idea I have, in which Big Mac is Deaf. I like the idea, but I want to make sure I'm treating the disability respectfully, raising awareness rather than making fun, etc., etc., but the advice I got on Reddit was "Unless you're Deaf yourself, don't." I'd like to talk to someone about this idea, maybe even collab on

    Coltifornia Pones: Feedback/Thoughts?

    So, I've been reading through the rulebook for the new My Little Pony RPG (would anyone be interested in a review/writeup?), and one of the locations they mentioned is "Applewood"--pony-Hollywood, which, the book says, is where the Elements of Harmony are at their weakest. I've found myself brainstorming for what a story/adventure set there might look like, and how the ponies would contend with a

Some Bad News · 2:40am Jun 13th, 2016

Hi everybody,

Due to a sudden, unexpected complication in my personal life, I possibly probably almost certainly am going to have to stop writing ponyfic--or, at the absolute least, go on an indefinite hiatus--for reasons I'd rather not share. However, you guys have been awesome, so I felt you deserved at least a little warning before I vanish into the ether.


As I've said, WTF 2 is completed and uploaded, so that will finish, at least; I also have a "For the Good of Equestria" side-fic that's almost ready to go, so that will post as well.

Beyond that, I'm not entirely sure what to do; though WTF2 ends on a fairly conclusive note, Equestria ended on a cliffhanger. Any thoughts on how you'd like me to tie those off? Perhaps I can post my notes or something... Any volunteers who would like to take 'em over, maybe?

(FWIW, I've been thinking about maybe trying to turn the humanlike, low-magic, already pretty-much-human WTF into an actual humanized novel; though it's a little harder to be cruel to humans than to cartoon ponies, in this particular case, I don't think it would be too hard to find-replace "hooves"-->"hands"...)

Also, I've committed to help with a couple editing projects; those I will finish. I've been helping Jowijo spit-shine "Someone Still Loves You" (a fun Scootadash/Rumbleoo fic), and I've been asked to help with another project or two, which I may update you on, depending on how the author(s) would like to proceed.

I want to emphasize as well: this is not your guys' fault. Though I would have liked these to get a little more attention (as I've complained to a few of you) this is something purely on my end, not yours. Heck, I was having fun just writing these things :pinkiehappy:

I have a few days before I need to lock everything down, so there is a remote possibility I might be sheepishly deleting this blog post in a few days--but this hiatus thing is looking pretty definite at this point. In either case, thanks for all your attention, comments, and love, and thanks for making this an awesome ride!

Good luck, mang, with whatever is going on.

Thanks very much! That really means a lot, coming from you :)

Hope that the world treats you better than it has!

I'm very sorry to hear this; good luck with what's going on!

Hey man, hope everything goes well. I'm sorry for whatever's happening.

Good luck brother, it's been a pleasure reading your stories for the short amount of time that I have.

Thanks so much for your kind words--once again, it means a lot.

If it makes you feel better, everyone's limbs are still attached, no one's dying, that sort of thing--just, something has come up that I need to deal with (I'm being vague on purpose; sorry I can't be more clear).

Thanks again!

I wouldn't delete this blog since future readers might wonder what's going on and you probably want to be definite on what happened. Best of luck.

Take care man. Until we meet again.

4019271 Be well, stay excellent, and wherever you are, keep being the awesome person you are. I honestly think that what you've left with WTF alone is a thing of beauty that I hope someone in a Pinksimilar role gets some hope or cheer from; worst comes to worst, it's a gorgeous piece of work. We don't "deserve" to know details; the courtesy of telling us that stuff's going down is sufficient.

That said, feel free to fling links for the novelization out here at some point even if you close the stable door; I'd love to read it.

Thank you very much for you words. I feel like I sound like a broken record, but honestly, I'm always a little overwhelmed when people praise my work.

And, I think I will--maybe on the MLP sub or something. We'll see what happens~

I'll miss you! I hope you'll be able to drop by every once in a while. :twilightsmile:
