Black Lives Matter. Good things are good, actually. I write about wizards and wizards' apprentices. 90% of prophecy is just pattern recognition.

Source. Always remember the spirit of the season: It's not about just stabbing. It's about coming together to stab in groups.

New Year's Roundup · 6:30pm Dec 31st, 2022

Happy new year, everyone. The temperature is mild and the sky is clear, and I'm looking forward to an excellent night of watching fireworks.

I just saw this picture I had to share: a Changeling wedding dress.

You and me both, Joker.

2022 is drawing to its close. A couple days ago was the 5-year anniversary of moving into my apartment, a date that means a lot to me and is a natural time for reflection. I find myself looking back at what I’ve done, and wondering what to say about it.

Important Update · 8:53am Nov 22nd, 2022

I dreamed I plagiarized someone's story and I woke up feeling horrified and disappointed in myself. Isn't having a subconscious great?

A different sort of wizardry · 7:11pm Oct 24th, 2022

This is a month and a half old. But obviously I've watched it a couple dozen times since then, and probably someone here hasn't seen it.

And it just now struck that you know, I made my Star Swirl Scottish. But Merlin was Welsh, and Michael Sheen would voice him damn well.

Wrote a thing · 11:23pm Sep 26th, 2022

Wrote something on a whim. It crossed 1k words, so decided to publish it on a whim and see how it goes.

I make no commitment to continuing this, or even to leaving it up, either in its current form or at all.

I will continue writing it when and if the whim to do so strikes me.

Story Notes: The Wizard and the Griffon King · 6:46pm Sep 22nd, 2022

Another piece of the great work is complete.

This blog is going to be rather unstructured. I’m not sure how to begin.

I had the idea for this story already when I wrote the griffon assassin subplot in The Education. Earlier this year I was editing a chapter of The Seven Trials of Clover the Clever, got stuck, got inspired to write this instead – and kept on going right to the end.

New Story: The Wizard and the Griffon King · 6:40pm Sep 22nd, 2022

It's done, you guys. I have just submitted the story I've been working on for the past five months, and it should be up shortly.

It's a sequel to The Education of Clover the Clever, sort of, following up on the griffon assassin subplot. This story explores the question of just what went down in the meeting between Star Swirl and Griffon King Blaze that made the king send assassins to kill the wizard for decades afterwards.
