    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

WWBP: Flashfiction - Superposition · 11:19pm Aug 2nd, 2017

She thought he was asleep when she confessed. She whispered that she loved him, head sinking into his chest.

He hadn’t been asleep. Now he lay staring up at the ceiling.

He wanted to whisper back that he loved her, too, but it would be too cruel a lie to tell. He wanted to love her, but he couldn’t.

She was so kind to him. Beautiful, gorgeous even. Long golden hair and freckles, soft curves and haunted eyes; his type. They were more than friends, certainly, an hour ago her hips had cracked as a whip against his, and that had been enough. They brought each other a comfort they could find nowhere else.

But he couldn’t love her, because she didn’t really love him. She loved an idea of him, and when she spoke of him she spoke of an outline that did not conform to any shape he saw in himself.

It felt like there were three in the bed, and she only had eyes for the other man. A man that was not better than he was, just one he did not agree with. They were seeing two different movies playing on the same screen.

So she said she loved him when she thought he couldn’t hear, and so he pretended he didn’t so he wouldn’t have to break her heart.

I like little short things like this in blogs, always my favorite thing to read.

I haven't done this in a while and I really should have;

I don't understand what "this" is :-\

Good snippet, but it desperately needs a story around it: as is, I have no emotional investment in the main character
