    Oh yeah, I used to write here, didn't I?

    So yeah... it's been a while since I, y'know, put up a list of a bunch of stories I was gonna write, then... totally didn't.

    Sorry about that.

    A sudden influx on Little Deceptions!

    So! I woke up today to find suddenly twenty new notifications, all on Little Deceptions over the past couple hours.

    Hello all! Glad you're enjoying my fanfiction!

    Just out of curiosity, where's everyone coming from? I did some searching but can't find anywhere it's been mentioned in the last few days, so just wondering who's responsible for this little storm of attention. :)

    So this Bronycon thing...

    I'll admit, when one of my friends first jokingly asked if I was coming to Bronycon, my first reaction was to sarcastically decline.

    Being as I am Australian, it is just the teensiest bit (read: Approximately 1/3 the circumference of the earth) bit out of the way.

    Future fic ideas! (That might actually happen now OoTD is done)

    Well, I've been watching the like total of One of Those Days slowly creep up on Little Deceptions (Although I am still amused at the fact that, though practically equal in likes, the 18 or so difference in dislikes is the difference between 3rd place on fimfiction and 1365th place...) and I was going to post this when it got overtaken...

A sudden influx on Little Deceptions! · 8:52pm Mar 21st, 2018

So! I woke up today to find suddenly twenty new notifications, all on Little Deceptions over the past couple hours.

Hello all! Glad you're enjoying my fanfiction!

Just out of curiosity, where's everyone coming from? I did some searching but can't find anywhere it's been mentioned in the last few days, so just wondering who's responsible for this little storm of attention. :)

If it's you, thank you!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go spend my day quietly buoyed by my inflated ego.

Georg mentioned he was looking for the story in the author's note of the new chapter of Letters From a Little Princess Monster. He didn't remember what it was called, but a commenter did.

Ahem. (raises hand)

Oh. I got the influx because one of my favourite authors on the site mentioned my fic. That'll do it.

God dammit do you want me to start writing again? This is how you make me start writing again. XD

Thanks and glad you enjoyed it =D

It was a good story, well-written and with a lot of thought clearly put into the details of Cuckoo Cloud's plan. If that's how your work usually is, then more would certainly be welcome. And Little Deceptions really feels like it could be expanded into something larger, either on its own or by way of a sequel; there's even a hook for the latter set in the last few lines of the first chapter:

“Well, I’m sure she’ll veto what the nobles were threatening me with if I was caught, at least… Well, I hope so, anyway. I think I could find some way to use my talents to make it up, if the princess is willing to give me a second chance…

4822035 Oh, I certainly wouldn't mind if you started writing again. I enjoy your twisted sense of humor. :pinkiehappy:

After all, I didn't get synched to meet you at Bronycon in 2016 (I made my first trip in 2017).

:facehoof: I read that title as "A sudden influx of little Decepticons!"

A little less recently, Little Deceptions was also mentioned in the comments for The Thief and the Princess due to it's similarity.

Also, yes! Write MOAR! I require pony words for my sight organs to look upon.:pinkiecrazy:

4822067 I'll admit I'd never intended any sort of sequel to it and I don't have any ideas for same... but the character is well open for anyone else to use should they desire it. XD

4822141 Stupid... already looking through my story ideas to see if I can pull any of them out...

I'm almost certainly coming over again this year if you're likely to be showing up? :)

4822245 Not the first time the joke's been made, but it's always appreciated =D

4822363 And just like that, another story added to the RiL pile.

It also got name-dropped in the RCL Story Recommendations Thread last week, though I think that was after Georg's mention and quite possibly a result of it. (I got to tell the recommender that we agreed with them so hard we featured it retroactively.)
