Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

    Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition

    Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

    So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

    Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years...

    Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.

    FUCKING DONE FINALLY

    "The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and

    A thing y'all should maybe know

    I may or may not make the change here on Fimfiction, but on Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net, I am changing my handle to Kaleidolon. Mainly as a branding differentiator between fanfic and profic. It's not like I can hide that Alara J Rogers writes fanfic, not after posting it to the Internet for literally 29 years, but when I get published in real life I want it to be slightly

Robot Scootaloo is done · 7:18am Jan 16th, 2017

I finished a story! Yay!

The last several chapters of Robot Scootaloo start to get excessively meta, with considerable fourth wall breaks (actually we break both the fourth and fifth walls, considering that all of the skits are supposed to be fanfic that Scootaloo is... reading? Watching? I have no idea how this works.)

I would love a picture of Scootaloo singing the end credits. I tried to convey how eye-blindingly horrible her outfit is, but it's hard to get across that level of visual cringe in text.

The fifth wall? Whoch one is that?

The fifth wall is when there are two levels of fiction and both get broken.

In this, all the skits are ostensibly fanfics that Scootaloo is reading, or watching, or whatever. So references within skit to Scootaloo watching the fanfics is the fourth wall. References to me writing a story is therefore the fifth wall. :-)

Ah, now I understand. Thanks :)
