So in case anybody here wanted to, like, read a story written at least in part by me.

And wasn't aware.

I'm writing:

TBind on Pickup

• MLP: FiM
• Adventure

What do Spike, Garble, and Smolder have in common, besides being dragons? They've been summoned to another world at the behest of a needy adventurer who thinks her fortunes are turning with their arrival. No one involved is ready for what comes next.

• Human
• Spike
• OC
• Garble
• Smolder

Alongside the guy who posted it, who I like to hang out with and we've been talking about trying this for a while now.

So, I took a short break from writing A Rich Everglow adventure to write myself a oneshot. It's something I try a little between several different chapters, try brainstorming or dabbling in writing something else.

(Or occasionally trying to continue my on pause stories. I'm probably close to calling it a day forever for Mantle. The remaining )

But I've finished the first draft of the WiP name: I'll Be Haunting You.

Have you... ever had an idea, that was sorta a bad one?

Like, you thought there were a lot of reasonably exciting things that could be done with it, and thought the characters could be explored in an interesting way... But it's starring mostly not-very-popular characters?

I think I've started to want to see Spike and Twilight as family more seriously.

So... some history: after S5 I had decided on my favorite and least favorite scenes in the season with Spike. Nothing from his actual episode hit either of those, even though it was a terrible episode. I posted this to a forum before, rather than as a blog post, but maybe it deserved a blog, too.

Either way, my favorite and least favorite beneath the break:

So, Elemental ReSearch is going on hiatus. Just for a while.

I like the story, but I can't pretend I'm making any progress right now. I know what the next part of ReSearch is going to be, although not exactly how to do it, but... I'm just not making any progress. Not even a couple hundred words a week.

Alright. I've got to come clean: I've been slacking off.

You see... there was a month-long event in World of Tanks where, in order to earn things (and it was a lot of things), you had to earn a certain amount of experience every day. And a friend of mine and I decided to give it a go.

Well we didn't realize that, alongside days where the two of us were on fire... we'd have the days where we had to slog through the requisite experience. It took more of my evenings than I expected it to.

The first draft lives!

It only took me only six months! Jeez.

Even the month-long break for the oneshot isn't an excuse for this... Although, really, Just an Assistant helped me bust through some writer's block, and I found myself writing larger chunks more consistently after I finished it, instead of a slow burn of a couple sentences a day.

Hey! I wanted to thank everyone who read Just an Assistant, and all the compliments, complaints, conversations, and conflict that everyone contributed. It's seriously fantastic, and I feel a bit bad for not keeping up and thanking everyone personally.

Alright, I'm a little reluctant to reveal there were more significant edits to the Prologue and the events therein. I think it's definitely better, but I also want to summarize them so that a reader doesn't have to reread them to see the new edits.

I've got good news and not good news!

The good news is that I am finished with the first draft of the next chapter of ReSearch! Okay, I've got most of a scene left, but I should have that done tonight. After that I just need to reread for editing and proofreading, possibly give it a few passes.
