    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.

This link will take you to Cinema Wins, which is a quasi-parody of the popular Cinema Sins YouTube channel, except this guy points out everything that's good about a movie instead of bitching and/or nitpicking. Some of the movies he selects are more challenging than others, (I'm thinking here of the lengths he has to go to to find stuff to praise in Pixels and Battlefield Earth), but the best ones are where he defends the honor of polarizing movies. This guy only started recently, so his selection isn't that wide yet, but if you happen to really like a movie that has a possibly-undeserved bad reputation, it can feel like a breath of fresh air to hear someone on the internet actually validating your opinion.

Here's an example featuring a movie that nearly everybody likes to begin with:

Holy shit I am LOVING that channel, thanks.

This is a really cool inversion of a concept I like. Awesome find. Thanks for pointing it out.

This was something that definitely should have happened sooner and really wins and sins should be co-labing constantly.

Cool, I'll have to check it out.

... A-AAAND subscribed.

Huzzah! An optimistic reviewer! What the heck!? Such an impossible notion deserves my immediate attention! THIS DEFIES THE LAWS OF YOUTUBE!

... in all seriousness, I like what I see. Thank you for the link. Good find!

Subscribed. Thanks for some positivity.

Oh, that's a nice refreshing take on things. Gonna be watching some of those, thanks for the suggestion. :twilightsmile:

"Cinema Wins: Battlefield Earth" - This video is not available in your country, because blah blah, contains content from blah blah, copyright-horseapples.

Wow, somebody says something positive about their movie --- and they immediately go and copyright-block it in select countries. :derpytongue2:
