Hiya, lovely peeps!
New year, new library.
So in mid-December I was browsing through my libraries, trying to find a story that I wanted to re-read, and that’s when I realized that the three libraries I had (Honest Favorites, Happy Upvotes, and Most Wonderful Stories) were a little too full. So I decided to break it down into several genres.
I'm not sure where the year went, but I'm still here, trying and failing to be productive. Chapter 15 is in the final clean-up phase, so expect to see that before the end of next week.
Guys! I wrote a novel! :O
I know this is FiMfiction and there are novel writers everywhere, but it's downright strange to have an actual novel under my belt. So what did I actually learn from this once-in-a-lifetime experience?
See the softer side of a much-beloved bureaucrat with today's reader-selected tale.

It is official that Broken Bindings, my experimental and frustratingly difficult to create story, has been inducted into the Royal Canterlot Library. It is now recognized among the best MLP fanfics of all time, and that's pretty damn cool, and I'm very happy about it. Some of you might have already seen, but they did an interview with me about my writing as well as Broken Bindings in particular, and that's now posted to the site.
As the Royal Canterlot Library says farewell to Chris, we welcome RBDash47, creator of the original Pony Fiction Vault, to our fold!

I wanted to do this last week, but life seems to keep getting ahead of me on these things.
I wanted to thank the Royal Canterlot Library for featuring Morsel of Truth. It was a story I had a lot of fun writing at the time, and I truly appreciate not only the feature but the interview and review that came along with it. Thank you guys and gals very much.
