    Got my hard drive fixed

    And all my data's been restored. It even costed less than I was originally quoted. Still pricey but I got my data back, and backed up on 3 different USB drives.

    Proof I'm not dead

    So I'm aware I've been dead quiet lately, and I felt the need to touch base. So here's a peek at the next song in the upcoming chapter without any context. My way of giving you something. Its no where near finished, but progress is being made.

    Harddive died

    Last year when I had my little vacation I noticed my laptop having signs of its approaching death, so I ordered a cheap external hard drive. It was a panic purchase, I am very uneducated on computers aside from their general use, and copied all my data. I since used it as the main storage space to keep microsoft's prying eyes out of my affairs (its the spirit of the thing rather than having

    Yup Shingles

    noticed it yesterday night. My eyeliid aching and red, and I got the start of a rash around my left down to my checkbone. I ran out today for a refill on my huge-ass anti viral pills.

    I mean, I got these before I started having any holes in my vision, but I hate that I'm back to stinging, burning eye pain.

One minor change to Lord Barleycorn · 7:54pm Jul 25th, 2017

I ripped out the disclaimers/headings.

I got used to them back on fanfiction.net, and it just felt... weird not seeing them at the top of my other work. But, ever since TCB - Punishment got initially rejected for my usual header, I got to thinking: it really is pointless. It's just habit by now, and everyone knows its a MLP story. If anything I'm just egotistically slapping my user name on each chapter (which I may also change, I've used Rambling Puppet for over a decade now).

Unintentionally, these headers have been inflating my word count. I watched as I took each one out the nearly 200K words I wrote dropped to 186,605. I'd rather get to such a milestone honestly than by some artificial means.

Hopefully this looks better to you guys. =3

MAN just write your heart out, i love your story by the way

Yeah, I've always found those sorts of headers a little redundant. Thanks for the tweak!

Do what you feel is best for your work, all of it is really good :pinkiehappy:
By the way, have you written anything outside of the MLP Fandom, just curious :raritywink:

Yes, definitely better! Thanks!

Yes, and its all garbage. x3
Seriously, I keep my old account on Fanfiction active just to remind me how far I've come since I started posting my work back in 2004.
I haven't written any fics outside of MLP in some time, though.

By the way, you ever thought about adding a TVTropes page link in the fic's summary? You know, since the comment that made it is now buried under all the others and readers won't know about it unless there's a link there under the "recommended on TVTropes!" line?

Sure, good idea. =3
Done.
