Sometimes, I ask myself why I do the things I do. And then, I tell myself to shut up and do what I say. Follow me on my Twitter, @ChucklesDonovan.

    The Big Move

    I didn't plan on making this transition until Gilchrist had been fully written, three books and all. However, with what has happened, I decided it's better to just make the transition now. Gilchrist is no longer taking place in the 'My Little Pony' universe. I am currently drafting and building a new universe for him to have his adventures in. The main reason for this is, I want to make money off

    Gilchrist : Welcome to Ponyville (Sneak Peak)

    Impossible! Omega thought, yet he could not deny it. Wherever Alpha had gone, it was somewhere he could not see. If anyone of us was supposed to survive… It should’ve been Alpha. Am I all that remains? And then he stopped falling. Omega rested in a dark, cold place. Something reached out to him, something strong and cold. Its touch seemed to beckon to him, and he unwillingly opened

    Beta Readers Wanted

    As 'Gilchrist : Welcome to Ponyville' nears completion, I am going to begin revising it before it is published in full. When that happens, I'm going to want many people to provide feedback for me. I'm not looking for people to catch grammar errors or things of that nature, I'm looking for dialogue review and to be told what situations need to be clarified. If you're interested, PM me!

    Update to FIMFiction

    I want to say that I am ecstatic about this new update to FIMFiction! If anyone wasn't aware, I write my stories in Docs before moving them over to FIMFiction. Previously, when I had an italicized portion of text (e.g. Gilchrist thinking to himself), it wouldn't show up italicized in FIMFiction, so I would need to hunt down those little portions of text and put the correct tags on them so that

Manic Journals: I fixed a problem for new readers · 5:48am Aug 27th, 2016

So the system I use to update Manic Journals goes as follows, I take the old chapter, read it over and over and take notes and highlight important plot points. And then I rewrite the entire chapter from scratch while keeping the plot points in mind, and incorporating new story elements and characters. The ponies are all the same as before, but Gilchrist is now different. I've made him more human and weak, yet he still retains his cunning and willingness to do extreme things to get what he wants. He's not malicious, but he is devious.
Anyhoo, after I rewrite the old chapter, I cut the old words out of the Chapter file and paste the new words in. The problem with this is that it looks to everybody like all of my chapters were published back in 2014, instead of recently in 2016. I'm working on fixing this, but I'm too tired tonight to keep going. I'll work on it more tomorrow, but from now on all chapters will have an accurate post date attached to them. I don't want it to look like I'm not working on TMJ anymore.

I fixed the problem today. Now, from now on, this should not happen again.
