Writer of One-shots. Dabbler of Genres. Altogether too slow for her own good.

Magnum Opus · 6:31pm Apr 20th, 2016

Well that's it guys, wrote the story I got into Ponyfic for, see you all on the other side bbbyyyyeeeee~!

I kid, I kid. But Seriously: Three Years, probably close to the day I have been working on this story. I know because I joined Fimfiction shortly after committing the opening lines to paper in the basement of the Kenyon Review office in my Junior year of College.

Gosh it has been a long time.

The Difference Between "Good" and "Good Enough" · 3:11pm Jun 9th, 2014

When I made this account it was basically under the condition to myself that I would never write anything longer than a One-Shot.

The Fickle and Most Terrible Muse · 9:58pm Jun 2nd, 2014

So I had an idea for a sequel to Thy Words.

And it's awful, and terrible, and beautiful.

And I'm pretty sure you'd all hate me if I wrote it.

But I am considering writing it anyway.

What is wrong with me?

Not that anything is happening on this until I finish Good Librarian, right Fed?

Simile to a Good Home · 5:36pm Feb 20th, 2014

I made a simile, but while editing I am finding that it's just not fitting in with the surrounding prose. I think that it would do well in a different story but I simply don't have the right place for it right now. It's friendly and lighthearted, evocative and clear. I have named him Dilbert.

Come here Dilbert! Here boy!

...wings flailing like a foal’s legs kicking the air.

Isn't he so sweet?

Tagging Woes · 10:04pm Feb 19th, 2014

Is there a traditional way to indicate "Mysteries" on fimfic? I am about three paragraphs into a story which is sort of a slow mystery about a librarian working in Canterlot and my only impulse on how to tag it is something like "Adventure/Slice of Life" which is actually contradictory. It doesn't seem anywhere close to dark enough to get a Dark tag and it's not like I'm killing anyone at the end so I don't really think the sad or tragedy tag fit either. (there is like one remotely "sad" scene

Dear FiMfic Diary, · 5:30am Feb 10th, 2014

Date: Today makes almost eight months since Princesses Twilight and Luna began having a tea party.
Twilight has still not apologized.

Tonight I thought to work on my magnum opus only to quickly get stuck on the way toward discussions of loyalty. By the time I was writing again I found myself half-quoting Supernatural's Lucifer through the mouth of a Nightmare.

My Fandoms are blending.

One Fluff Down. · 2:00pm Jun 11th, 2013

See I almost feel like that's a pun but not quite.

It's weird to have drafts of things. Finished drafts I mean. (Not complete, just finished--I have one that's just dialogue all the way down.) I've been sitting on this draft of a story I wrote in a flash with like three sentences that needed to be fixed and this morning I finished it. And I posted it. And it's done.

This feels weird.

The Sandbox that is my Mind · 3:11pm May 25th, 2013

My brain is an idea generator. I mean, I would hope most people's brain perform this function to some degree, but I feel like I have it exceptionally bad. And while some of these ideas are like "I wonder what Pineapple and Ketchup taste like" many of them are story ideas. And they just keep building up.

A Meditation on Writing Preference (I Hate Empty Blogs) · 9:46pm May 4th, 2013

Hey, I'm Lady Grey, I haven't written any fanfiction since 2005. Three weeks ago I began writing a Ponyfic. The Blame for this falls entirely on my friend, Fedora Mask. As much of it as he wants to take. I've been working on it on and off between homework and final projects and such, using it to medicate a somewhat egregious writer's block on my own stuff.
