I'm done with Saints and Sparkles · 1:35pm Mar 21st, 2016

I can't bring myself to write this fucking ending one more goddamned time. I've lost it again since I last put up a blog. And now I have absolutely no desire to write it again. I'll spoil the ending if you guys want, but otherwise, it's over.

Sorry.

An update · 9:37pm Jan 12th, 2016

So... Last ending to SaS has been taking a while again... I know. I'm sorry. I'm going through a pretty dark patch in my life. Have been for the last few months. Stepdad has throat cancer and my mom is waiting for results for a breast cancer test... and she's likely to have it, considering this is the third time this week she's been tested... On top of that, general stress, being suspended from work while I wait for a phone call that will let me get back to work, stress, money, stress,

I just beat Saints Row 2 · 1:19pm Dec 17th, 2015

And now I'm torn on which game I like more: SR2 or SRIV... I love the hell out of 2, but there are some things I wish I had. Helicopters that can take a hit, more unlocks, some other upgrades, stuff like that. But damn, do I love it. I'd love to play through SRIV again, but when I try to play it on my PS3, it freezes up after 5-10 minutes consistently, so I'm stuck at the Blast power tutorial...

A call for Boss screenshots! · 8:18am Dec 2nd, 2015

So I've been wanting to get a screenshot of the Boss for a while now, but I have the ps3 version of Saints Row IV, so I can't get them. I'm asking you guys to go out of your way to get some screencaps of my Boss in the game for me without pay or compensation...

Please?

Moar tease! · 7:56am Oct 10th, 2015

Sniper rifle rounds ricocheted off of the mystical shield, much to the Boss' irritation. "Fucking- Just die already!" she yelled as she slung the rifle back over her shoulder, touching her earpiece. "Gat, take my rifle and give me cover!"

"You got it, Boss," came her friend's response, dashing up to him once she had seen him and tossing the AWP to him before quickly turning around.

What to do next... · 12:05pm Sep 2nd, 2015

So I'm currently typing up the second alternate ending and I've just remembered to do this blog. I've been wondering about my next project... Being at work on a slow night with nothing to do but sit in a noisy basement and think tends to do that. At present, I have 3 things that I could do.

Continuing One Little Drone is not one of them. Please, don't ask.

Me and Crossovers are breaking up · 10:24am May 9th, 2015

Let it be known that, after eight and a half hours of dealing with unlucky, pissed off gamblers,:ajsleepy: I am busily typing up the last chapter to Saints and Sparkles. However, in light of what I will say below, I want to get a few things out of the way. (This is both how I think it will best be seen and how I want to say it.)

-Saints and Sparkles will NOT be getting a sequel.:applecry:

I have a job! · 9:24pm Apr 7th, 2015

So, the last chapter, now 1,166 words in, is still being worked on. Amazing progress, I know; a great step up from 1,000+ words per night. Make no mistake, I'm gonna finish Saints and Sparkles if it kills me. However, I have also just been hired by and started orientation at the local casino. So that's a distraction from my independent literary efforts, but I don't really want to say to much about the job because... well, I know that they do thorough background checks for most, if not all

How the last chapter is coming · 6:07am Mar 27th, 2015

















... Very slowly, I'm embarrassed to say. Part of it is my fault, part of it isn't. Part of it is limited access to a SHARED computer and fear of humiliation upon discovery. Part of it is that I've rediscovered Fallout: New Vegas.

... It's coming folks! Eventually!

... I promise!

... Seriously not being sarcastic here. I'm gonna finish it if it fucking kills me.

I don't get it · 12:31am Mar 9th, 2015

I'm currently 4,300 words into the next full chapter, but I've been noticing something odd. I type the story up on a shitty Google tablet with a shitty keyboard/case in an app called "Docs to Go", saving it there and copy/pasting my progress into fimfiction's chapter editing thingy when I'm done. It works well enough, especially since the tablet is slow as fuck (it's been slow out of the box, brand new) and the editing feature lags HARD. I have no qualms with Docs to Go, but with the newest

Your thoughts? · 7:15am Feb 28th, 2015

So, I'm already 500 words into writing the next chapter of Saints and Sparkles, and I've just had a thought. I could do a quick bonus chapter to help tide you guys over till the next real one. It would be a bonus chapter full of homie conversations; brief exchanges between Twilight and the other Saints, excluding the Boss. Now, I wouldn't be putting that much into it, I'll admit, but I'd still like your opinions. Would you rather have the bonus chapter before or after the next official chapter?

Why the next chapter will be much shorter than the last · 12:56am Feb 16th, 2015

I want Twilight's homecoming to be a separate chapter is all.

I also apologize in advance if the next chatper takes a while. Some recent events have really just sucked the life out of me... Between that and the need to play through Zinyak's boss fight a few more times... Yeah.

Something I left out of the newest chapter · 3:23am Feb 14th, 2015

I nearly made Zinyak say the Boss' name. Her real name. I didn't do it because I couldn't think of a name for her. I would have wanted it to be something she'd be embarrassed about. Can't name characters for shit, guys.

Why the next chapter might take a while · 3:16am Feb 8th, 2015

So... AT&T's internet went down throughout the house. I can't connect with the tablet I use to write my fics, so I can't paste my work into the editor on fimfiction.I write this from my mother's shitty netbook because I've literally just discovered that it can connect just fine. I am likely going to begin trying to copy my work into the editor myself after I post this blog, but I wanted to give you all a quick heads-up. The next chapter is being worked on. I'm 2,631 words in, if you're

On the subject of endings · 9:01pm Feb 4th, 2015

So, since Saints Row IV has multiple endings, I am thinking of offering a few of my own.

Along with the canon ending, I'm thinking about a:

-bad ending
-"realistic"

And a few possible others that might occur. The two I listed are basically guaranteed, but... Yeah.

I'm curious about what you think would make a decent alternate ending to this little read I'm writing.

New Chapter sneak peek · 3:21am Jan 22nd, 2015

Twilight was curled up on the rec room couch, levitating four billiard balls above her as she idly played with them. It had been a long time since the unicorn had been bored. A very long time.

I could use an editor · 1:26am Jan 15th, 2015

For two reasons:

A: As good as I am at grammar and spelling - and catching my errors - it's getting to the point where I don't have the time to comb through each story and find them.

B: I tried to submit Saints and Sparkles to Equestria Daily, but they said no, showed me their omnibus thing, and had me spend the following hour looking for what I did wrong.


I didn't want to do this, as I'd rather not be waiting for an editor's "green light" before posting , but I think it'd be best.
