Next Fic: Clone Pinkie + The Who? · 8:23am Feb 2nd, 2013

To try and prevent myself from getting burnt out on EoE I've been working on a different project off and on.

It's called I Am Not the Actor, and it takes the themes of Quadrophenia by The Who and applies them to an AU where one of Pinkie's clone's won the test instead of the original. For those who haven't heard the album, its main theme is identity--how we create it for ourselves, and how our peers shape it, for better or worse.

EoE: Incoming double update · 9:03pm Jan 3rd, 2013

I finally finished chapter 6 of EoE not 3 hours ago. After my editors go through it (variable timeframe), it'll be ready for posting.

"But cp, wait a minute, what happened to chapter 5!?"

EoE featured on EQD omg · 11:32am Dec 23rd, 2012

After no small amount of effort from me and my fleet of editors, Elements of Excess was accepted for posting on Equestria Daily. Pretty awesome.

This post is probably pointless, since about half of my watchers were referred to me by Equestria Daily in the first place. Considering how much time they invested in my silly story, however, my editors deserve as much thanks as possible.

Projects Progress · 2:38am Oct 30th, 2012

In between schoolwork, Borderlands 2, that board game I'm working on, and all my fics, I realized how little writing I've gotten done lately. I figured I'd summarize it and see if that helped at all.

Elements of Excess; Ch 4 is in progress, 1,824 words, 3rd draft is done.

Reader Retention (Warning, boredom induced math/speculation/generalizations) · 11:32am Oct 27th, 2012

So ever since I posted that adult comedy I've been thinking about story view numbers. The FAQ says they factor frequency of views into selecting featured stories, and it's obvious from some of the ones that pop up that upvotes are more important than raw view numbers.

But like I said, what got me thinking about this was one particular story I wrote, and here's why.

Pony Personality Test; Subdued attention whore, side-order of nerd · 7:38am Sep 28th, 2012

Which is... actually not that far off, I guess?

Honestly I was expecting more Twilight in thar since I'm a HUGE NERD. Fluttershy quotient is accurate, not sure about the Rarity part though. Maybe I really do like attention as much as I always sarcastically claim.

May also explain why Rarity is my favorite target pony.

Bad News, Minor News · 8:36am Sep 17th, 2012

Bad news everypony; all my fics will be on hiatus for at least a week starting ~24 hours from now. WHY? Good question hypothetical reader, the answer is Borderlands 2.

The minor news is that I'mma try and get a chapter or two of EoE or "Like a Sex Machine" done before then, mebbe "Loyalty and Royalty."

If you don't watch/care about any of my fics, then this is conveniently irrelevant to you!

Fame and Fanfiction · 10:57am Sep 14th, 2012

I think I like being popular enough to get views but not quite popular enough to get featured; I get plenty of attention but don't get enough to pressure me.

I may only feel that way because all my stories seem to pass just under the featured cutoffs though :P

Sex bomb · 10:36am Sep 14th, 2012

Good news everyone; now that I've finished that short, sad, poorly-paced three-shot, and since Like a Sex Machine is more popular than every other story I've written PUT TOGETHER, I'll be writing more chapters to it.

Who would've thought a terrible attempt at parody written a bit too late at night would become so popular?

Careful what you wish for and all that; I kind of want to see how many chapters I can write without actually showing explicit sex.
