It's been far too long.

I'm trying to get my writing chops back and MLP Fanfiction has proved good practice in the past.

So I am re-writing my novella about Slate, my namesake OC. What was once a quick self-indulgent piece where my OC chases after his favorite waifu-horse will instead become a longer work dealing with those who interact with and come to value someone who falls in the category of "neurodiversity." Just as I often wish myself to be valued.

One of the biggest problems that people have when participating in writing competitions is that they are unable to finish their story within the time limits. This is especially true of the pony Writeoff competition, where one may have as little as 24 hours to complete the assignment. However, I have no problem, and in some cases have been able to submit multiple complete stories within the time limit. At the request of other competitors, I've decided to explain how I am able to do this, using

I am back from my hiatus. Let's not go into why it was so long, but my life has changed a lot since 2013. As has my geographical location.

So some things:

1. I am going to try and enter the Writeoff competition each month. I can't guarantee I will be successful, but it's the best thing going to get me writing semi-regularly. I want to be a better writer, and the only way to get better is to do it, and this is a good way to do it.

Flutter Riff liked my reworked lyrics for Freakazoid's theme song so much he sang them really, really well:

A friend of mine and I were talking about how the "Rainbow Powered" version of Rainbow Dash had Freakazoid's haircut, so I re-wrote the lyrics to Freakazoid's theme song to match Rainbow Dash:

Super-keen extraordi-mare!
Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!
Flies around like she don't care!
Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!

Reads Daring Do constantly!
Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!
Unless the Wonderbolts are on TV!
Rainbow Dash! Rainbow Dash!

Thus far, I've been pulling images off of Derpibooru in order to have cover illustrations for my stories.

There's a lot wrong with this - the pictures don't necessarily go with the story, the artist's permission is usually not obtained, and it's not something I should do if I want to be a professional.

People keep asking for a sequel to "Love Will Tear Us Apart," so here's the pitch:

Just in time for the holidays, my Hearths Warming fanfic, "Gifts Ungiven," was posted on EQD!

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/12/story-gifts-ungiven.html

I'd like to thank everyone who helped make this fic as good as it is :)

"Cracked Beauty" has become my most successful story, and now it's been performed by some really gifted voice actors:

It's a really touching rendition. Over and over again, I kept thinking "Did I really write that? I don't remember it being that good."

You should all go listen to it.

Another story idea I want to pitch and get feedback on:

"More than Friends"
Rainbow Dash is happy to have Hearts and Hooves day off from work. But she's less happy to spend it alone, while all the other ponies are hooking up around her. It reminds her that she doesn't have a special somepony, and that all too often she feels very alone. But today is a special day - maybe, finally, one of her friends will reveal themselves to be something more?
