I announced this book last month in my Everfree Northwest 2023 release round-up, but I felt it deserved a standalone post announcing its online availability.

Marble by the Roadside's third chapter is fleshed out, and I added an extra fourth one too.
But it's almost early morning, and I am not publishing it this early when I need to sleep so I can finish up a promised work for people in five hours. So to all those who have found my work due to my story dump this night, thank you and rest or work well.

While trying to figure out how to exactly go about publishing the first volume of The Lost Element, I've come to discover that printing each book will come with a cost. Out of my own pocket. Due to limited funds, I will only be releasing a limited number of copies. If they sell well and quickly, I will release another dozen next month and so on.

Wow! Fallout: Equestria - Of Shadows has passed two hundred total views! It's a bit surprising considering that there hasn't been a new chapter since before it reached one hundred. But... that's soon changing.

Of Shadows has finally hit twenty total ratings! It really means the world to me when someone takes the time to leave feedback. Thanks to everyone who has helped my story develop; your words help tremendously.

I will publish chapters one by one. Also, activity related to writing will resume sometime around 11th July, so I'm reading. Birthday tomorrow also, and 1 year on FF soon!

Viking ZX posted a short op-ed relevant to fanfic:
The Indie Hypocrisy. That's a link to his fimfiction blog, where he just posts a teaser; the full post is here, on a wordpress blog he uses for his non-pony audience.

I read that Forbes article in my last blog post (Online publishing is winning SF&F) too uncritically. When it said, "Indie-published authors may be just 48% of the SF&F market", it was taking its earlier statement,

unit sales of self-published and Amazon-published ebooks ... constitute a full 48% of all SF&F sales across print, digital, and audio.

and pretending that it had said

The story is now complete.

All that’s left is to wait for the judging to see if this story has what it takes to win the contest. Let me know if the story delivered the punch as it was supposed to.

Hey everypony!
Just writing to let you now that we have a brand new story to read, so make sure let me know your opinions and suggestions of what you would like to see in the next chapters.

As promised this will be a longer project and, if it turns out to be successful in the end, it will be developed in a nice little anthology.

I wish you all a happy Sunday!

Okay, so it occurs to me that, while I have run a few updates for book one, and I am currently writing the second book assuming those updates went through, you may not have updated your e-book to the current version. Kindle does not automatically push out those updates to you all, so if you want the most up-to-date version, you'll need to manually update the book yourself.

I also intend to win a writing competition with this story.

PS. Can somepony please tell me why this story bombed so hard? Like, I was actually daydreaming of a feature box. The story had everything: enticing cover art, engaging description, easy-going comedy... Where did all the downvotes come from?

Hello everyone!

So it's been a little over two years since I left the site. In that time, I've been working on original works with the hope that I'd become a published author someday. Well, that dream has come true! Of course, not with a big, established publisher like Penguin or Scholastic or whoever exists. I followed in the steps of my uncles and put my book up on Amazon as an independent publisher.

Hey folks! Post-LTUE post here, based off of a couple of conversations I had at LTUE with other authors (be they at the green room, signings, panels, etc). It’s straightforward enough to jump right to the point, so I’ll ask it:

When will the next big shift in publishing hit?
