Where Parallel Lines Converge has done far better than I expected. (On that note, thank you to everyone who got into the featured box.) Still, it's gotten me thinking. If it weren't for Estee's contest, WPLC would've been another Sideboard of Harmony chapter, and it wouldn't have gotten nearly the visibility it did. Granted, the lower three slots of the box seem to love several of my stories for some reason, but the more rapid turnaround would've only made it visible there

I'm not going to beat around the bush: This blog is about me maybe getting a Patreon account. I've been wrestling with this decision off and on for years, and it's time to put it to rest. My biggest concerns has always been waiting for the other legal shoe to fall, but at this point, that doesn't seem like it's going to happen any time soon. Plus, I haven't had any form of income for about a year now and I do have rent to pay. (Also Magic cards to buy. Addiction is a powerful thing.) Now that

What are some YouTube videos that I can make that more of you can watch? My newer stuff has been getting less and less views... And my friend and I were starting a new series based on all the new stuff I've been posting.

The link to my YouTube Channel can be found on my page under the "Contact Me" module.

It's funny. I originally intended Kirin Derpy to just be my avatar's Halloween costume, but a combination of procrastination and massive positive audience reaction have me wondering if it's time to retire Princess Herplight Derple. If nothing else, this one's ready made for a Rudolph-flavored December retool.

And speaking of procrastination and costumes...

This is one of those interesting but inchoate ideas that I’m not sure if I want to develop further. It all began when I remembered one of the more “Did that really happen?” screenshots of the show:

So I'm curious people. I want to know what parts in 'Atonement for a Wayward Dragoon' you've found to be the most interesting, riveting, and entertaining.

I want to improve my craft by honing in on my strengths. But that's not to say I don't want to get input on areas that I need improvement on. So, I suppose this blog will be the place to discuss the story's elements and events.

River Road just had a magnificent idea. One so good I felt I should implement it at once.

So, I'm well aware that my current side story is having a lukewarm reception at best. I'm also aware that this setting is harder to write for. I have a clear idea of what I want to do, but I'm having a hard time actually getting there. I can do it, but it's difficult.

So now that Make Your Mark has reached its apparent conclusion, I have a vague outline for the path that Vlogs of an Ancient Insect may take. That said, I'm looking at concluding things at Roots of All Evil - Part 2 before going into an epilogue. Before I go too far with things, I thought I'd shake some things up with some community input on canon events.

Chime in after the break.

I'm focusing on getting the Oversaturated World version of the Friendship Games up and running as best I can. As such, I'd like to try something a bit different with Group Precipitation this week, a prompt. Specifically:

As you likely know, we're entering a midseason hiatus. However, that doesn't mean that I won't be able to provide a card blog next Sunday. Instead, I can start reviewing the IDW comics. Of course, that leads to the question of where to begin. My default choice is currently the Revenge of Queen Chrysalis, it being the first storyline and all, but I have access to the main series up through the Siege of the Crystal Empire, Friends Forever up through the Rarity and Gilda issue, all of FIENDship is

So there are considerations being made- Mostly on whether or not to continue with the displaced. I believe at least one of my stories may suffering for the... status of being displaced, it's release schedule certainly has at the very least. Calm down readers, that doesn’t mean I’ll stop writing the adventures of our favorite cyborg and buxom boxer- not all at (I love Maze way too much now to do that )

I have been using metric measurements as of recent in story because I feel like they are more universal than the imperial system. That and I have a better grasp of numbers for them in part because up or down by factors of ten is easy and imperial system is sort of absurd and I say that as an United States citizen. But I figured I should actually ask. Is that confusing for you my readers? Is my use of the metric system being a distraction? I am about to put a temperature out in the next

Been trying to take advantage of Memorial Day weekend to get some writing done, so naturally I started doing so on Monday. Ah, procrastination. In any case, a new Dueling Keyboards short is up.

Also, the "Alone in the Darkness" reading got me feeling nostalgic. Would anyone want to read another Story Shuffle collection?

The Bronycon Bookstore Inventory Survey is now up and running. Be sure to let us know what titles you're interested in, regardless of whether you're headed to Bronycon or not! The surplus will be available online.

I'm currently waiting on the Oversaturation proof copy. Be sure to mention it if you want your own!

I have been very consistent in terms of avatars on this site. I've only changed it once in my nearly four years here, and that was an unsolicited art upgrade explicitly provided to me by the original artist.

And yet...

Then Goes the Neighborhood has gone off to the editors. In the meantime, I found something on my Google Drive. It's inspired by Estee's The Elements of Elements collection. I think you can guess which periodic element it's using as its prompt. The thing is, it's... kind of dumb.

Like, really dumb. One-gag story dumb.

Also, it's barely over a thousand words.

I'm working on an Equestria Girls story that builds on several previous stories set in that world, but I need a bit more setup, along with an opportunity to put out some headcanon. However... Well, it's just not coming together. I've posted the current draft of the story here. Comments are enabled.
