Blissful - Also Early 2019 AMA for the Heck of It. · 2:47am Jan 21st, 2019

Happy month is happy. Especially with a fandom like this one.

You know what I haven't done in a while? An AMA. And what better a time than when you're going full Lemur? Sooooo...

Ask me anything. Yes, I know I've been writing more "adult" stuff lately, but that's no license to go too wild in questions. F'naaaa.

Wish I had a room like that to sleep in.

Is there gonna be a weekly Smash thingie in Discord?

What's the most work you've put into a backstory/accessory element of a story/universe that ended up having the least return on investment in terms of actual story presence.

...Sorry I feel like I'm not articulating this question very well. Example: writing up a 200 year history of shoemaking in Whinniepeg as part of Trixie's backstory and then deciding to only include the phrase "there were shoes" in the story. :P

Not restricted to ponystuff tho.

Favorite song at the moment?

DO you find writing easier in this new tentacle'd, flouncy state?

Best movie of 2018?

Goals for 2019?

Can you get me a deal on a used Switch?

With your known affinity for fembois, do you watch any animes with thus? Like Felix or Astolfo?

What games are you playing lately?

Are there any stories that you were genuinely disappointed didn't get enough attention?

No Pressure, and feel free to dodge the question, but any clue when we might be farting eastward again?

Will you sit with me at lunch? Can we be p a l s?

Have you worn an enormous frilly pink-cyan dress with enormous shoulder poofs in the past 2 months

uhhhh if you dont want to answer that

What are some things you've written in your stories but felt never got enough attention?

(but please fuckin' doooo answer the first)

The question that several people have been asking in other discords
"What's with the change of direction?"

And mine,
"Now that you've assaulted the feature box in yet another style of fic, what's next on the horizon?"

Seriously, you've done dark, you've done light, you've done long, crazy and thought provoking. That's without this latest batch of fics.

When do you think you'll reach 6000 followers?

Oh, dearest Heaven, that first picture.

I'm gonna needed a swimming pool's worth of brain bleach to get THAT image out of my head!

Wish I had a room like that to sleep in.

You and me both, darlin'.
You and me both.

5000105 Soon, I hope.

It's been way too long since the last one.

Do you want to write a snazzy collab sometime?

Bubblegum pink stripes, or just plain white? :trixieshiftright:

When are you updating End of Ponies?

Ah, man, those are some T H I C C B O I S.

No question, just imagining Flash sneaking into Rarity's room and playing dress-up.

Is there a chance that you will resume the Austreoh series?

Where on Earth would you like to go?

So... and I’m asking this for a friend;

What do you do when some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a barroom wall, looks you crooked in the eye, and he asks you if ya paid your dues?

Is there anything you'd like to say to Gwen and Randy and the others in this new and wonderful year of 2019?

When can we get a sequel to I Met A Pony In Hell, And We Kicked Ass Together titled: I Met A Femboy in Highschool, And We Bought Purses Together?

Also, do you know how to get to the lake?

Will we see your characters from previous stories have dubiously canon yet certainly erotic adventures past some magical mirror? I may or may not be asking about a certain cybernetic bounty hunter.

I got you fam. Click through, I have your desires cornered in the metal mare department.

Is f'naaaaa short for "fucking aaaaaay"?

When do we get a remake of Bestial, titled Dresstial?

Have you been reading any fics lately? If so, would you recommend any of them?

Is there gonna be a weekly Smash thingie in Discord?

First off: SW-4533-9399-9103

Secondly: I am truly truly enjoying Smash right now. I'm not good at it, but it's still fun as hell and a nice way to kill time.

Doing Smash with the J00rists sounds positively magical. I could imagine how it might go: Someone sets up a lobby and others join while we communicate over Discord.

Would I do it weekly, though? F'naaa. I suck at coordinating social things. That's usually Props' department, but he's got his tentacles full of dungeons, dragons, and scaley pillow covers right now.

I could definitely see myself setting something up like that spontaneously/sporadically, but I doubt I could keep up to a weekly thang. Anyone else interested?

5000105

When should we expect more chapters of atophied limb depression horse simulator Appledashery?

So, I haven't worked on Ofolrodi since April of last year.

Appledashery? That's been dead since December of 2018.

Ofolrodi/Austraeoh is my main concern. I want to get back to doing that. If it's gonna be anything like Utaan, it means copious amounts of re-reading and taking notes and then finding a rhythm once again. Sadly, my stamina isn't quite like what it used to be in 2011... but we all know that.

Appledashery sits in a distant second... more like fifth to the importance of rebooting Ofolrodi. I don't think anyone finds this as a surprise. I'm actually rather amazed that I kept the "story" going for as long as I did. There were times when I felt I was only continuing Appledashery to see what an unstoppable garbage fire I could make of it.

I still would like to do future parts of that fic. It does get happier, believe it or not.

And, in the event that I finally do get my act together, I have a very bold plan for how I can structurally do it. Basically, someone momentarily takes over for the chicken on narration duties, if you catch my pox.

5000107

What's the most work you've put into a backstory/accessory element of a story/universe that ended up having the least return on investment in terms of actual story presence.

My entire life is comprised of 95% planning with next to 0% execution. Back in high school, I drafted this entire plan for a "season" of Batman the Animated Series fanfiction starring a Gary Stu self-insert. Actually, come to think of it, I had planned three "seasons." My head conjured up maybe fifty episodes. I only ever "wrote" something like eight of them. So, most of my time in 9th grade was spent wandering around and imagining all this stuff to write and making notes about it but never writing it.

In 1999, I planned a six-part book series about Ocarina of Time. I only wrote two books.

In 2004-2005, I wrote 3.5 million words of Teen Titans fanfiction but only got about 25% with the entire vision.

So, needless to say, I have a history of planning more than I can/will actually manifest. With poni poni poni, however, I found the right kind of spark to keep me going... well... for the most part.

I think the first thing that comes to mind that fits your question is maybe Shellstrings. That was going to be a true-blue epic. Ensemble cast. Loads of arcs and adventures and character deaths/rebirths. Butttttttttt the pace was glacial and people didn't like it and while I had a grand picture in mind, 2016 happened and the fic hit the trash can. Just as well. I don't think I would have enjoyed writing that thing all these years after all. No fembois in it. F'naaa.

5000108

Favorite song at the moment?

This one's been on my mind lately. Been wanting to upload it when Ofolrodi's back in business.

Arcade Fire is also my usual go-to these days. Sooooo...

And, of course:

5000108

DO you find writing easier in this new tentacle'd, flouncy state?

Yes and no...?

I mean, the subject matter is deeply ingrained in mesa. And I spent the year of 2018 (and more) obsessing over making the big step and writing this sort of shiet. Like... lots of preparatory fantasizing and lo and behold this is the result. I like to call it "depressed creative edging." F'naaa.

In the end, writing a naughty story is like writing most of my other stuff. It becomes an engineering project with words and the upload process is also the same.

The end result, however, is completely different. Humbling to know that being second-most-subbed on Fimfiction.net means jank-shoes when all you put up is Flash Sentry sissy smut... and very shitficcy ones at that. I've yet to find my audience, and at the rate things are imploding, I doubt it's gonna be anytime soon.

I just need to get out of the rut of knee-jerk shitfic uploads... as if I have anything to prove by being more "active" than provocative. I have a few longer and more intricate ideas that I need to get off my lazy but and produce. I doubt they'll win me any more support or followers, but at least they might be proof of concept.

So, as I've come to agree after nice conversations with my best of online buds, I'm more or less "rebranding" SS&E. That's not to say that there won't be NON-NSFW stuff in the future (things reminiscent of classic SS&E), but apart from rebooting Ofolrodi SS&E is here to stay in this new red district light. It's basically me starting over again. If I was smart, I would have done it on an alt, like I originally planned. But I decided "fuq it" and went with my main account. Because why the fuq not? My old stuff will always be there. Nothing's going to change that. And I'm still digging this enthusiasm. F'naaa.

5000108

Best movie of 2018?

I really don't think I'm the one to make a judgment on this. I'm not a movie connoisseur.

However, I think I can say my "favorite" movie of 2018. And would you believe me if I said it was this one:

m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BY2JiYTNmZTctYTQ1OC00YjU4LWEwMjYtZjkwY2Y5MDI0OTU3XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNTI4MzE4MDU@._V1_.jpg

I know lots of people shat on this movie, but I just found it so dayum fun. The world-building was phenomenal. And--most important of all--it got me to read the book. Talk about a fun little nugget of joy in late Spring. Funnily enough, I went to see this film on the same day as Infinity War. It was a double feature, and I came out of it liking Ready Player One more. F'naaaaa.

I think the part I knew the movie spoke to me was in the early moments of exposition when Wade Watts as Parzival is just gaily skipping along in the Oasis as his avatar. That sort of liberal freedom in an online environment is at the heart of the crud I'm trying to do with 2019 Skirts. Soooooooooo yeah. Endorphins and inspiration all around, fam.

5000108

Goals for 2019?

-Get a bunch of sissy/femboi fics run
-Reboot Ofolrodi
-Get some traditional Skirtsian stuff written
-Get my computer fully fixed
-Visit Star Wars land
-Ignore Bronycon without feeling regret
-Download the Disney Streaming service

5000108

Can you get me a deal on a used Switch?

As ironic as it sounds, I kinda wanna keep my job. And there are lots of favors I simply cannot do. I'll try to keep an eye out for special deals and the like, but no promises.

5000108

With your known affinity for fembois, do you watch any animes with thus? Like Felix or Astolfo?

I am vaguely familiar with both characters, and Nietzsche knows they've become poster bois who are all over the Internet. But somehow I can't imagine that they're nearly as prevalent in their respective series as the perverts online pretend that they are. It's like claiming that Star vs the Forces of Evil is all about Princess Marco. F'naaa.

In truth, I don't watch a lot of anime. So, my exposure to anime with fembois in it is very minimal. I heard there was a manga out there called Princess Princess in which members of an all-male school volunteer to become "feminine" escorts in order to boost the morale of their classmates. Is this a thing? Did this become the animes?

Also, I think the Internet has long lost is true trap poster boy.

5000108

Are there any stories that you were genuinely disappointed didn't get enough attention?

*points that everything that went up this year*

No Pressure, and feel free to dodge the question, but any clue when we might be farting eastward again?

Something I stated in my first major blargh of this year is that I suck at making promises and nobody should take them too seriously.

That being said, I think it won't be for another month or two before I can have enough steam to get back in the game. I've said something like that before and here we are nearly a year later. So... :shrugs:

One thing that I suppose I should declare here if anywhere...

...it won't be a daily anymore. Hell, I can work on it daily, but I think what Ofolrodi needs--at least for a book or two--is to change its formatting. The daily format turned into a lazy habit that produced "meh" content. What I need to do is go full Background Pony on the fic. Well... maybe not full Background Pony. The chapters will be larger, but not 50k nightmares.

At this point, the story has gotten way bigger than the "literary experiment," as the zebra once called it. Time to treat it as such.

5000116

Will you sit with me at lunch? Can we be p a l s?

I only ever eat alone. In my room. Watching Youtube.

And I don't allow anyone in my room... mostly cuz it's too cringey. It looks like something belonging to a serial killer. You've seen my user pages and my stories... you really wanna see what I sleep in?

But being pals? Sh00r.

5000118

Have you worn an enormous frilly pink-cyan dress with enormous shoulder poofs in the past 2 months

No. Nor in the last two years... or twenty. But dayum if that doesn't sound amazing...

You have to understand. Some of us are too ugly, too hairy, and too old to do heavenly stuff. Sooooooo we come to a predominantly horse-flavored literary website to vicariously write about it instead. F'naaaaaa.

5000118

What are some things you've written in your stories but felt never got enough attention?

Only one marsupial has ever gotten the "no, YOU have chicken mouth" reference. And that's a sad thing.

5000120

"What's with the change of direction?"

"Change" she says.

It's basically this. Life is short. Lace it up.

I think there comes a time in a fandom where "other" obsessions take hold over what was once prevalent. For most produces of creative content, this means hopping over to another subject/genre/fandom whatsoever. I'm still not done with poni, and praise Nietzsche for Equestria Girls cuz I really really don't like moist ponies getting moister.

I think my life--at least my creative internet life has been going down this slope for quite some time now. No point in holding it back. I know that a lot of people don't like it, and it saddens me that I can't win people over. But--it also doesn't surprise me. If someone like Spielberg (I feel conceited for the very notion of the analogy) suddenly came back filming nothing but Rated R Exploitation Flicks, the critical world would tear him a million new orifices. But... like... what if he didn't care? And what if he said "I did all the 'good' stuff already, now I wanna have fun?" That's where I'm seeing myself in all this. Yeah, it would be really nice to win people over, and there *are* ways of doing that. And I do intend to make the occasional "vanilla" fic, alongside Ofolrodi.

But at the heart of it all... I just don't give a damn. I think most others in the fandom should take that to heart. Nothing lasts forever. Friggin' have fun, y'all.

5000120

"Now that you've assaulted the feature box in yet another style of fic, what's next on the horizon?"

If I've indeed "assaulted the feature box" this month, then the feature box had a can of mace. Cuz the only thing that made it through, if I recall, is that Scootaloo dark comedy shit fic and even that didn't last too terribly long.

What's next on the horizon is more of the same. My one regret is that I've been too impulsive with the uploads, and this has resulted in most of my "smutty" stuff being shitfics. Yeah, I do enjoy comedy and I think we should see comedy mixed with NSFW more often. But I don't want that to be every story I write. I have plans for more "romantic" and "gentler-toned" stories. They just take longer to write, even if they're not necessarily all longer in content.

So, the real challenge is finding variety. Also, if I'm truly serious about writing adult stuff, I gotta eventually prove that I can write what readers want to see as well. Er... almost what they wanna see. I'm still not ready to whore myself out and produce horse orgies. F'naa.

5000474

And I don't allow anyone in my room... mostly cuz it's too cringey. It looks like something belonging to a serial killer.

These are magic words to a true crime enthusiast.

But being pals? Sh00r.

I might share animal crackers. Might.

5000122

When do you think you'll reach 6000 followers?

Alright. So let's be real for a second here.

This blargh from the other day was just me being a facetious little cunt.

The truth is, I started 2019 out with maybe 6550 or so subscribers. I am now down to 6491 at the time of writing this blargh. I treated "6500" as a milestone to highlight the fact that SS&E's subscriber base is essentially imploding and there doesn't appear to be a way to amend that. Let it be a lesson to any of you who decides to completely change the tone of what you're writing/blarghing. There are consequences to it.

So, assuming things continue at this rate (which I honestly doubt, I think the bulk of Fimfic subscribers either don't care or don't exist), then I'll probably reach my SUPER SPECIAL 6000 MILESTONE in about eight to nine months. F'naaaa.

5000122
Now if only Pen Stroke would start writing vore, and then I might get that No 1 slot.

5000130

Do you want to write a snazzy collab sometime?

You're awesome. And that idea is awesome.

You know who's not awesome? Me.

I suck at doing Collabs. Just ask Ponky.

Still, I'm not totally adverse to the idea of doing a collab. However, I can't do anything super complicated, given my other plans, and I think it would have to be with someone whom I've formed a heartfelt acquaintance with. Like this asshole.

5000135

Bubblegum pink stripes, or just plain white?

I'm gonna have to go with just plain white.

I like bubblegum pink... but I'm not a fan of stripes. I'll take polkadots and glitter and hearts over stripes. F'naaa. Guess I'm just wyrd.

5000137

When are you updating End of Ponies?

Don't be a pussy. Write sissy.

5000178

No question, just imagining Flash sneaking into Rarity's room and playing dress-up.

This doesn't have to purely be JUST "imagination" y'know...

5000223

Is there a chance that you will resume the Austreoh series?

Absolutely.

Even the Austraeoh series.

I'm just getting my groove on at the moment. As I've stated before, Austraeoh will likely continue as a more traditional fic when I get back to it. I had the idea of once-a-week uploads. So... it'd be a weekly fic instead of a daily one. I'd commit to writing on it every day but I'd make sure the chapters were actually fully-realized and competent before uploading. But I'm still not quite sure yet. I want the quality to be decent this time, and maybe that'll involve updates every two-weeks. We'll see.

What I'm ultimately hoping to do is have Austraeoh being written alongside an SS&E longform fic of the pink variety. So it'd be like the old days of Appledashery/Austraeoh... only one half of the combo is less depressing and more princessy. F'naaa. That would put me in a happy, happy place.
