A short story in which Starlight Glimmer writes one last letter to her teacher, and in my opinion, restructures her as a character faster and more efficiently than the show ever did. Score one for fan fiction.

honest question, because i missed you all

So Purple Patch has drawn a bit of fan art, not just for me but for quite a few authors. Observe:

At the bottom right is Patch's (apparently) favorite Equestrylvania villain, Whisper White. Now I'm just waiting for a color version of this so he's easier to spot. :p

Let me get something out of the way.

I said in my previous blog, I didn't like this show. And I don't. But I don't hate it either. I don't look at it as an embarrassing stain on Castlevania, like Lords of Shadow or Legends or, most hideously, Equestrylvania. I look at it more as an interesting experiment.

So I've actually gotten some PMs here about my opinion on the new Castlevania series on Netflix. Allow me to answer them here.

I've binged on it once, waited a day, then binged again -- easy to do since there are only four episodes so far. I think I have absorbed and digested it enough to form a cohesive, precise decision and opinion on it.

My opinion?

...I don't like it.

More on why, later.

Is writing for hours... only to get maybe two or three sentences actually done.

Getting pretty late in the day so let me make this quick.

Crusadervania is certainly happening, but I need help picking a cover! Here's what I have planned:

Okay, so I just got through having some surgery on my feet, nothing big, nothing major. But it greatly reduces what I'll be doing over the weekend, so obviously, I'll be hard at work on my projects, one of them being Crusadervania.

I should just confirm it now.

Equestrylvania's time is over. I am so done with it.

I have learned that the biggest mistake anyone can make when writing a story is making the damn thing too big. I've pressured myself into writing and writing and writing, but the story meanders and spreads and never attains the overall goal of its plot, which was to simply kick Dracula out of Equestria.

So yes, it's over, I'm done with Equestrylvania.

I'm sorry that I'm not putting much on this site.

Okay? I mean that. I really do.

I wish I could focus more on No More Ponies and Equestrylvania, but for the past few months, in addition to the storyline fuckup and the subsequent burnout it caused me, I've been up to my nipples in work. Stage performance turned out to be much more demanding than I anticipated, and so, I'm quitting my burger-flipping job to focus more on it.

So I just completed writing and editing several future scenes for Equestrylvania. I'm feeling pretty good about myself, and get started on the scene that would connect them all so I can finally start publishing more chapters, and then

then

Okay.

So.

Yeah.

This. All, all, all of this.

I'm just.

SO.

Happy.

Like.

Like you wouldn't even believe, just.

No Lords of Shadow bullshit, no pachinko machines, not even based on Symphony of the Night, no.

An anime.

Based on my favorite game in the whole series.

Produced by the makers of Adventure Time and Fairly Oddparents.

Oh God.

It was a mistake to throw those into the Equestrylvania Adventures companion book.

So from now on, I'll just leave them in the author's notes as short clippings (just like the Castlevania games themselves). Now to go back and edit all the earlier chapters to reflect this.

Dammit, I'm turning into Bronywriter. Now I know I'm a hack! 0___0;;

Writing's been breezy lately, but not much for fanfiction. That's right, Brony_Fife might be self-publishing his crappy original fiction in the near future!

Not to say I'm not gathering materials for another Equestrylvania chapter... Let's just say I recently got into the Saw movies and they're giving me lots of ideas on what I want to do next. Don't worry, it's not gonna be straight-up torture devices... just very elaborate death traps.

Writing's not difficult. Never let yourself think that taking your thoughts and spilling them onto a document is anything like a challenge. After all, it's your story, and you'll tell it; and you'll tell it the way you'd tell a story to your friends and family at a gathering. It's entertainment, for Pete's sake. Simple stuff, only made difficult in any way because of distractions.

Wish 1: I wish I could stop playing Wario Land 3 and get back to writing Equestrylvania.

Wish 2: I wish I could stop playing Wario Land 3 and get back to writing Equestrylvania.

Wish 3: I wish I could stop playing Wario Land 3 and get back to writing Equestrylvania.

I'm leaving Fimfiction.

This has been a difficult decision for me to make, but after so much of my life became busy I haven't had any time to write the things I want. And sadly, much of what I want to write is not ponyfic anymore.

I apologize to all my readers, as this means neither Equestrylvania nor No More Ponies will ever see their conclusion. I hope we can still remain friends.

Cheers. Stay happy, y'all.

In case anyone is wondering where I've been story-wise, I wrote twenty thousand words in February. Luckily, eight thousand of those are Equestrylvania. Six thousand are for an upcoming one-shot involving -- my personal favorite -- an unlikely crossover that works far better than even I anticipated. It's been a blast to write it.

All right. The January Overhaul of Equestrylvania is now complete.

Before I dive into the next installment or even post some of the artwork I got drawn up, I want to go over something interesting I found sitting around in my netbook's harddrive. That is, discarded ideas and notes from EqV's earlier days and even some more recent stuff that, for one reason or another, I don't really remember why I didn't go through with.

Well, much of today was spent holding onto my toilet while weeping bitterly. Not a good introduction to 2015, sure, but at least 2014 came to an amazing end... you know, if all the alcohol I drank last night could just let me remember.
