    Announcing Writing Commissions!

    For the first time ever, I am open to writing commissions!

    I'm sticking to familiar fandoms like MLP, High Guardian Spice, etc, for now, though in future I may expand to original stories. I am charging £10 per 1000 words with the only restriction being no explicit NSFW stories (explicit sex, extreme gore, character torture and the like), though non-sexual nudity is fine.

    High Guardian Spice: Flawed Brilliance and Fantasy Fun (Spoiler review/analysis)

    (Note: This is an updated review to include a greater discussion of spoilers, and to elaborate on one or two points I could have made clear.)

    TL;DR: Though far from perfect, primarily due to the rough-around-the-edges animation, High Guardian Spice does a wonderful job in presenting its fantasy coming of age story, building on common heroic fantasy tropes to great effect.

    High Guardian Spice: Setting a High Bar for Future Western Animation

    Despite all the delays, High Guardian Spice is finally here! I will admit upfront that I have some level of bias, since I'm a non-binary fantasy nerd who loves all things magical and colourful. This show was always going to be on my radar, but has it lived up to my lofty expectations?

    My Little Pony: A new Generation

    My Little Pony: A New Gen is a mixed bag. It has a good setup that builds itself on the legends of FiM, and is a film about the monsters we make ourselves to be. It shows how prejudice and stereotype can be pervasive in culture, playing on our fears of the out-group. It's just a shame the story beats feel so forced, with a portion of the cast being under-developed. The resolution also feels

Conflicting Ideas · 11:38pm Nov 14th, 2016

Do any other authors ever get writers block from two or more conflicting ideas, to the point where you end up writing very little? I have at least two stories that I know how to complete, yet I have STILL started a new one because the idea really grabbed me!

The story I have begun is called "The Iron Mule", which will be an adventure/horror story focused around a trio of Night Guards and a tribal mountain Griffon investigating the disappearance of railway workers, half way through the construction of the rail link between the Crystal Empire and Griffonstone. I love both lovecraftian horror and narrow gauge railways, so I've wanted to write something that combined the two for ages, especially after seeing some amazing art on Deviant art depicting an Equestrian Version of narrow gauge (closer together track) engines you would find in Wales.

Yet with both "Sacred & Wild" AND "Dance of Death" still unfinished with the ideas to do so sitting in my head, it's difficult to motivate myself to complete these existing works, especially because I get inspiration from so many sources. I've even considered turning "The Iron Mule" into a more heroic fantasy based tale, since after playing the new WoW expansion, I want to return to my roots where I wrote original fantasy short stories!

So I would like you, my followers, to help me decide. Which story should I focus all of my efforts on finishing first? "Sacred and Wild", "The Iron Mule", or "Dance of Death"? Any help on getting SOMETHING completed would be super helpful.

I found you due to Sacred and Wild but do not mind waiting for it to complete and love your writhing style so will soon hopefully read it all and pace my self anyways. I will be content with whatever you decide, I currently am invested in Scared and Wild as that is what I have time for atm, but you should write what will keep you motivated as a writer imo.

I like your story Sacred and Wild and I hope you continue that one.But which ever one you want to spend your time on is okay.
