There was a small NCR presence there, people heading to and from Vegas, traders peddling their wares, a beggar who I gave some caps to, and surprisingly enough, some refugees from Primm who fled after the Powder Gangers attacked. A few of them are even preparing to make the trip back soon, since word on the radio is that somebody single-handedly cleared the gang out and restored law and order to the town.

God, this past week has been fucking weird.

The new Zelda games have given me great enjoyment, and a wistful longing for more which is familiar to many in the MLP community. The Rito in particular have my interest, being in my opinion the best constructed of the races with sadly the least overall screen time. This happy union of heart and mind lured me to write a brief (2k word) fanfic interpretation of the events of Breath of the Wild from Teba's perspective, which I have attached under the page break for anyone interested. It includes

Pony&Wolf Productions did an audio reading of Dash’s Unsuccessful Fanfic. Check it out.

I think it deserves some love.

I'm writing my final fic on this site before I call it quits. It's a crossover between Gen 4 and my novel, Dragon of Grace. It tackles all sorts of serious and heavy topics: stuff like depression, suicide, religious trauma, post-traumatic stress, childhood sexual abuse, etc. However, unlike many of the fics I've seen surrounding these topics, the story takes a more uplifting turn partway through that encourages healing and the value of close relationships in times of peril. I'm a good ways into

Will be updating soon, just had a long period of commission work.

Anyhow, while STDL will be the “first,” I’ll admit I’m interested in exploring different ideas.

One of them involves Transformers (specifically the rather controversial Death Battle, I honestly think it’s funny), a bit of a vanilla crossover with a Zelda AU I’ve got (basically Mane 6 in OoT Hyrule but everyone is prejudiced towards each other), and one idea that, I’ll admit, kinda serves as a headcanon past for Celestia.

"I'm sure you had your reasons."

"Maybe I did. But they seem stupid now. When I left, I think I was expecting to die. As far as any of them are concerned, I did. Yet, here I am, still waiting for it."

"You could always go back."

If you answered "me" to the blog title than Nova Quill has got your fix.

Fresh from Sunset/Starlight/Spike have no parents land:

Man, oh man does this piece fill me with emotion, 'cause damn if that isn't a pair of the saddest ponies I've ever seen plus dragon.

Got a couple pieces from different peeps today! Both are a little overdue... Sorry guys. Real life can be a real time sink.

First off a great Wheel and the Butterfly piece by, you guessed it, Nova Quill!

If you're following me, you may already know about the minific collection I curate titled Never The Final Word: stories — both my own and others' — which were originally posted as comments to other fanfics, designed to reinterpret or extend the source story. If you've been curious about the collection, but have been waiting for a good starting point to jump in at, then yesterday it just got doubly easier!

After the horrendous rape story by SoothingCoffee that I've had the absolute displeasure of reading tonight, I've finally put my foot down and deleted my first ever featured story for good. Those of you who favored Chrysalis' Revenge, you might as well get rid of it from your library if you can, because it is finally no more.

Wow...females get treated like garbage a lot in this fandom.

I've been out and about all day, so now was the first chance I had to watch the pre-hiatus finale. I usually don't do post-watch blogs and I wasn't planning on writing one for this episode. That plan's shot to hell now, but for consistency's sake I'll be brief.

This show finally became the badass, character-driven, legitimately dramatic drama that we've all been claiming it was for years. I could not be more stoked that it did.

Bring on the hiatus. I'll stick around.

One YouTube channel I follow is Great Big Story. They do micro documentaries: 2-5 minute videos about various topics, slickly edited and narrated. YouTube recommended one of their videos to me, and I couldn't help but notice some similarities to one of my fics. I suppose Luna would be proud of them?

I have gotten an amazing editor, their name is Word Worthy! He is currently editing TER and helping me make an amazing long + short description! I'm super excited, and the story should hopefully be released in about a week or shorter, due to how long editing takes!

Also, look at this cuteness after the break!

Just thought I'd drop a link to StraightToThePointStudio's reading of the first scene of chapter 2 of DayBreak, where Luna and Twilight speak with Care about the attack on Celestia.

A little voice acting, a little ambient music, a little taste of DayBreak from a different perspective. Or medium.

Check it out here!

Neither Gallus nor Sandbar expected to die at the age of 18 and 17, but at least it was dying while saving the world. With their lives over, all that they expected was a simple slip into darkness for eternity. Never did they imagine that what awaited them was paradise for their deeds and actions.

Haha, I'm terrible at putting these out on time.

Where to start? This was a fun chapter to write, since like 25, it is wildly different from the draft. A few ideas from the draft made its way into the final version, but the entire flow and structure was re-written from the ground up. For starters, the last 105,000 words were written just an excuse to make my "The Rainbow & Dash room" joke.

SO! My hard drive failed. Isn't that just great? Luckily for me, my friend's dad was able to save my data and transfer it to a different one. So I'm back in business!

I've been doing a let's play of pokemon recently, but I haven't forgotten my in the works fan fics (in fact I've been drawing pics and creating characters for one of them constantly.) So hopefully I'll be able to get the one I plan to submit first going, I had about half of the first chapter done.

So yeah. Mistakes were made. I can't personally verify this code since I already made my purchases on Friday, but if you missed out on that, there's a better deal out there for today. Again, you can go to https://ponyfeatherpublishing.com/ for a list of books to buy.

Osto Vinya nauva ustaina!
