The greatest storyteller of our time, or just another smuck pony fan on the internet? YOU decide! (Also I do episode analysis sometimes.)

    Announcing Writing Commissions!

    For the first time ever, I am open to writing commissions!

    I'm sticking to familiar fandoms like MLP, High Guardian Spice, etc, for now, though in future I may expand to original stories. I am charging £10 per 1000 words with the only restriction being no explicit NSFW stories (explicit sex, extreme gore, character torture and the like), though non-sexual nudity is fine.

    High Guardian Spice: Flawed Brilliance and Fantasy Fun (Spoiler review/analysis)

    (Note: This is an updated review to include a greater discussion of spoilers, and to elaborate on one or two points I could have made clear.)

    TL;DR: Though far from perfect, primarily due to the rough-around-the-edges animation, High Guardian Spice does a wonderful job in presenting its fantasy coming of age story, building on common heroic fantasy tropes to great effect.

    High Guardian Spice: Setting a High Bar for Future Western Animation

    Despite all the delays, High Guardian Spice is finally here! I will admit upfront that I have some level of bias, since I'm a non-binary fantasy nerd who loves all things magical and colourful. This show was always going to be on my radar, but has it lived up to my lofty expectations?

    My Little Pony: A new Generation

    My Little Pony: A New Gen is a mixed bag. It has a good setup that builds itself on the legends of FiM, and is a film about the monsters we make ourselves to be. It shows how prejudice and stereotype can be pervasive in culture, playing on our fears of the out-group. It's just a shame the story beats feel so forced, with a portion of the cast being under-developed. The resolution also feels

New fanfic update: Title reveal, project details and current progress. · 12:59am May 14th, 2019

Greetings guyz, galz and enby palz! Mystic Mind here, reminding you that even a cheeseburger can be deconstructed to its source.

I just wanted to give a quick update on the current state of my fanfiction writing, since I haven't published anything since February! I am pleased to announce that I am working on a new epic war fic, a sequel to Siege of the Crystal Empire entitled "Power of the Dragonflame".

This will be a grand tale of manipulation, nationalism, necromancy and paladins! I am currently on 18.7K words and it's about a quarter of the way done. I've decided that, like Siege, I won't publish a single word until the entire first draft is done, then I will release chapter by chapter as they are edited and proof read. Otherwise, I'll likely never finish it.

I may write small fics on the side, but I want to stick to this and make sure it actually gets completed, since I know I'm bad at that for long stories. I currently expect to be done with it by the end of June, but I can't make any promises. Your patience is much appreciated!

If you want to support my work, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi or two: https://ko-fi.com/mysticmindanalysis

Or recommend my fics to friends! That'd be awesome of you.

Until next time, never stop learning. ~Mystic Mind

Thank you for sharing. I question my approach sometimes, so this message is encouraging.

I won't lie, it's tempting to edit as soon as a chapter is done. But I know I won't finish it otherwise. Dedication will pay off!
