    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

And here we are again. · 2:49am Jul 11th, 2021

The good news is that I actually managed to get some more work done today on the next chapter for Tales from a Double Date. The bad news is that I didn't get nearly as much done with it as I'd like, mostly just expanding upon what I had already written last weekend.

I honestly don't know what my biggest problem is - the fact that I live with someone who ignores my protests and watches the living room TV despite a TV being available in their bedroom, or the fact that I have so damn much on my plate and simply don't have the time, energy or ability to get everything done. Especially considering that other people seem more than happy to pile more onto said plate.

I'm still praying for getting that next chapter done before the end of this month. I really don't want to break out another Vignette to fill the gap.

I'm sorry, Echo. I really, really hope that things improve soon!

Me too. The sooner I can get stuff off my plate, the better.

Echo, have you tried unplugging the TV and hiding the wires, leaving the TV unable to be used?

5553512
No, but I've been horribly tempted to do something similar.

Hopefully you can figure out a more permanent way to deal with this problem. Wish I could help but sadly I can't. :applejackunsure:

I hope I do too. And you at least commenting helps.

Well you are welcome in that regard. :twilightsmile:
