    I Return!

    After something like a year, I finally return to FIMfic.... ok I was here earlier but for the past year and more a lot of my fandom time and effort has been for another fandom that I am now finally sick of, and ready for a break.
    And here's pony!

    Inspired by a true story...

    Just published my first Rarijack fic!
    Funny thing is, although they're my favorite MLP ship I never really thought of a good story for them. Then this idea struck me on Sunday night and by Tuesday I was finishing editing it- how the hell did I manage to do that??
    Anyway...

    So a lot of that story is heavily inspired by my own personal experiences growing up.

    About me!

    Haha, not like anyone cares but I often enjoy reading these kinds of blog posts, so let's do this! :applejackconfused:

    Well, I’ve been watching the show since college and lurking in the fandom up until about, uh, three weeks ago. Hell, I’m still mostly just lurking. But it’d be nice to actually make some friends in the fandom, common interests and all that.

    Fall of Equestria and me

    (update- changed the title)
    Uuuggghhhhh
    So I finally posted the first chapter of a story I have been dwelling on for years. I mean years.
    One day a while back I somehow stumbled upon the god-awful, horrendous, misogynistic AU- Fall of Equestria.

I Return! · 12:01am Aug 16th, 2019

After something like a year, I finally return to FIMfic.... ok I was here earlier but for the past year and more a lot of my fandom time and effort has been for another fandom that I am now finally sick of, and ready for a break.
And here's pony!
I've started looking at all my unposted fics and WIPs and feeling that inspiration again, and ready to sink into this beautiful, complex, candy-colored world.
There's so much I want to do...

  • Anon-A-Miss fic
  • Fall of Equestria fic (lord that's overdue)
  • Sequel to Don't Want Perfection (FY Rarijack!)
  • A Shining Armor fic during A Canterlot Wedding (this one is so nice to write, it's soothing)
  • Applejack goes to see Big Mac in drag

and more!

Also rant time... I'm so tired of this other fandom (a small one for a movie).
It was great fun for a long time being in an active, supportive community that inspired each other to write and create art. But it's changed and people have left and now there's very few people I actually want to even talk to on discord anymore.
It's gotten to the point that every time I read through chats there it leaves me feeling awful, and I assume that's just my own issue, because others are still enjoying it. I'm tired. Of so much.
Rude, condescending people, obnoxious fangirls of other writers (normally I don't mind but lord the overkill just ruins it. Shouting 'YOU'RE SO WISE' for every little thing is bizarre to read), and the whole atmosphere has changed for me.
And a blog on a pony fic site is the only place I can openly rant about it :applejackunsure:

But with all that, it means returning to pony is such a breath of fresh air.
It's almost remarkable that I feel more comfortable here, considering what so many people think of bronies as toxic and unhealthy (and ok, there's a lot of that. Bronycon fuckpillows, anyone?)

Feels good to get this off my chest!

PS- I'm finally not lurking in the FIMfic chat. I'm the one with the orange marigold pic :raritywink:

I had to google BTS and I think I get it but, yeah, sure :twilightsheepish:
I think it's how a lot of bronies think about bronies, tbh.
And thanks! Not like I was really gone but I feel like I'm finally stepping back in the fandom again! For realsies!

Glad to have you back. Do you Finish your pow Story?

Geez, it's been so long I can't even remember which fic you're talking about :derpyderp2:
I did manage to get a good handful of one-shots published, but I am way behind for pony... and also everything else, arguably

The Edge of Sky story is what I meant.

i can't find the fic "Fall of Equestria"
have you delete it ?

Geez, I never replied to this, sorry!
The story is still there, the title just might be confusing- it's called Edge of Sky (I went back and forth on that title for ages... still not happy with it)
Here's the link: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/385498/edge-of-sky :twilightsmile:
