On The Ages of Characters · 12:59am Apr 2nd, 2014

Recently, I've come to accept that an actual physical age cannot be given to the vast majority of characters within the show. This failure on my part is mostly due to the fact that the biology of the characters cannot be said to be the same as humans. However, keeping in mind some SCIENCE, we can establish what amounts to an age range.

Feelin' Better. · 3:14am Jan 23rd, 2014

Alright. I have successfully kicked depression's ass. I am feeling much better, and will write something this weekend. I might just do a one-shot to get back in the flow of things.

P.S. In the event that I don't post something, then that means that my sad feelsies and I are having a rematch.

I'm back. · 4:53am Jan 7th, 2014

I just wanted to let all of y'all know that I'm back. It will be a little bit before I start back with my writing, but I had to take a break. I'll write something once this cold clears up.

Character Notes · 5:44am Nov 20th, 2013

This blog post is mostly for myself. It's just gonna be me putting down notes for the side characters in The Prince's Hounds. Feel free to comment if you like.


Doctor Daisy: Earth pony. Elderly mare, psychologist (therapist? Eh, it's pony land.) Acts(key word) like a typical granny.

The Mute Workers: Eleven stallions who work for Octavia, but they used to be Blueblood's chateau staff. Loyal to Octavia, they would be unemployed if it weren't for her. They know how to keep quiet.

Things I thought were clear, but aren't, but I don't intend to make them anymore obvious. Because I don't do that. · 3:39am Nov 18th, 2013

Recently, I asked for people to tear my current fic a new one. ClosetBrony87 took pity on me, and gave me an analysis of The Prince's Hounds. Now, while I won't go into the analysis, I will say that it was very helpful. I now know some questions some of you might have.

Q:Why did the Armor not kill Blueblood?

So. I need to decide what the next chapter will be. · 2:20am Nov 15th, 2013

I'm making progress on The Prince's Hounds. All major plot points are outlined, and I know what direction I will be taking the story. For the record, even if you have read my past blog posts you will still find something to be surprised about. Now, this question is about what the next chapter will be.

This art goes with the story. The art is not my best work, but it will do for now.

Artwork · 3:01am Nov 5th, 2013

So, everyone. I know that The Prince's Hounds is not doing well so far. I honestly didn't expect it to do well. I wrote it because it seemed like a fun idea, and I wanted to see if I could tell an adventure story with horror elements.

The Prince's Hounds. · 5:00pm Nov 3rd, 2013

Alright, my little break is over, and I'm now working on The Prince's Hounds. If you will notice, there is no author's memo on that fic to inform people that it is a sequel to some previous works. This is intentional. I intend for this story to work by itself, and that means that what may be old news to you will actually be a reveal to some other people reading it. This means that I have to work to please two different groups: those who have payed attention to my stories, and those who
