    Hi.

    Been a while, but I'm still floating around now and then. Been thinking about ponystories a lot, and how I have one more in me that I'd REALLY like to write.
    Life has been weird, though. I'm now on a horse farm in the horse state, rather than a graveyard-adjacent house in the cheese state. There has been joy and sorrow and, you know, life.

    Also, Commissions For Charity

    So right now I’m offering vignettes (roughly 1000-2000 words) as commissions, but instead of paying me you make a donation to charity. Any charity. If you need suggestions, then:

    Charity: Center for Disaster Philanthropy

    So okay. Originally I was going to raise money for something closer to home but the barn has secured a grant that makes me less worried about it, and I think my efforts would be better focused here.

    Next Month: Charity Time

    So I'm thinking that next month I'd like to run a charity event, but this will be a little different from previous events and I'm trying to figure out how to make it work.

    Happy Hearts and Hooves

    In other news, I'm going to be getting a charity thing up and running maybe next month, so that should be exciting. We'll see how it goes, though. The format will be a little different but hopefully it'll be a lot of fun for everyone.

Alternate Routes (Dearest Beloved) · 6:55pm Dec 8th, 2016

So I was curious if anyone would be interested in me posting what would have happened if Last Call ended up going down the alternate routes. Just a paragraph or two of explanation, since I thought some people might be curious.

Please consider making a donation here: again, it's through Oxfam, and it's basically a simplified version of last year: everyone gets two votes on what happens in the story, but if you make a donation, you get additional votes for each dollar. So if you gave me five dollars you could use your standard two votes for B1, then say 3 more for B and 2 more for 1.
Donations of five dollars or above can also be used to give a character a minor appearance in the story, and ten dollars or above a recurring appearance. I'm also willing to add scenes to the story for larger donations, and glad to work with any donors to include whatever they'd like to see, within reason.

It just all has to be done kind of fast since it has to be 100K by the end of December, and my schedule got kind of screwed up due to my computer crashing and eating the last chapter, which I rewrote today at three in the morning.

So yeah. Let me know what you guys think, and please consider donating. If I do win again, I'm going to donate my winnings to Humanity for Horses or one of the local shelters.

Man, I'd love to donate like I did last year($55) but having moved out to live by myself, money is a bit tight -- especially considering I'm still studying without loans. I'm sure I can find $10 or something to throw at this soon though.

I would like to see how those other paths would have taken Last Call.

I'm always up for alt routes

No worries. Take care of the things you need to before worrying too much about this, and know that any amount of money at all is going to be appreciated and put to use if you do donate, even if just a few dollars, so don't feel that you have to go double-digits or anything. Even just voting on the outcomes is helpful if you've been reading it at all, really.

Well, it's always nice when, if your vote is in the minority, you still get see what would have happened... although, I'm curious if those will all be 'game-over's, considering how easy it is to die in these kinds of stories, even as a 'main' character.
