Sometimes, I ask myself why I do the things I do. And then, I tell myself to shut up and do what I say. Follow me on my Twitter, @ChucklesDonovan.

The Big Move · 3:35am Jan 6th, 2018

I didn't plan on making this transition until Gilchrist had been fully written, three books and all. However, with what has happened, I decided it's better to just make the transition now. Gilchrist is no longer taking place in the 'My Little Pony' universe. I am currently drafting and building a new universe for him to have his adventures in. The main reason for this is, I want to make money off of this book some day. I can't do that if it's a fanfiction. I haven't decided how I'm going to be

Gilchrist : Welcome to Ponyville (Sneak Peak) · 1:44am Sep 16th, 2017

Impossible! Omega thought, yet he could not deny it. Wherever Alpha had gone, it was somewhere he could not see. If anyone of us was supposed to survive… It should’ve been Alpha. Am I all that remains? And then he stopped falling. Omega rested in a dark, cold place. Something reached out to him, something strong and cold. Its touch seemed to beckon to him, and he unwillingly opened up to it. Like a book, he could feel himself being read without his consent, and yet he felt no need

Beta Readers Wanted · 7:01am Jul 16th, 2017

As 'Gilchrist : Welcome to Ponyville' nears completion, I am going to begin revising it before it is published in full. When that happens, I'm going to want many people to provide feedback for me. I'm not looking for people to catch grammar errors or things of that nature, I'm looking for dialogue review and to be told what situations need to be clarified. If you're interested, PM me!

Update to FIMFiction · 5:48am Jul 1st, 2017

I want to say that I am ecstatic about this new update to FIMFiction! If anyone wasn't aware, I write my stories in Docs before moving them over to FIMFiction. Previously, when I had an italicized portion of text (e.g. Gilchrist thinking to himself), it wouldn't show up italicized in FIMFiction, so I would need to hunt down those little portions of text and put the correct tags on them so that FIMF would recognize it. Now, thanks to the geniouses at FIMF, the site will recognize italicized text

Oh my GOD! · 6:42am Jun 2nd, 2017

"If there was bubble blowing going on, why wasn't I told about it?"
Oh my GOD! I just got that joke! I've watched this movie almost twice a almost-month since it came out, and it took me till now to get that frickfracking joke! Am I .... Am I dumb? I might be, I've overlooked the stupidest joke for a long time. Hi FimFiction, if anyone cares, I haven't stopped working on my biggest story, and it's almost ready for book 1 to be published. I'll be looking for proof readers soon enough.

Pushing for a blank slate · 4:46am Oct 12th, 2016

So, as anyone who is familiar with the old Manic Journals might be aware, I've rewritten this story entirely from its original state, and still am rewriting it. I'd like to make you aware that at this point, I consider Manic Journals as it is now to be a completely different story from when it was originally up. I don't know if the moderator I'm speaking to will agree, but if they do, my hope is to completely wipe Manic Journals from FIMFiction and replace it with a new story with a new name, a

Time Passage · 2:53pm Oct 10th, 2016

(I don't want a pointless blog floating around, so I'll share future plans for Manic Journals.)
I've decided a day to day approach just isn't going to work for this story anymore. I have an entire year to go where Gilchrist is going to be trapped with Twilight, and then he gets to explore more of Equestria and actually do some world building. I'm pretty anxious to get to that point, so months are going to start flying by a little faster.

Hand Servant · 5:35pm Oct 4th, 2016

In response to recent attention to Hand Servant, I would like to make everyone aware that Hand Servant will not be written further until I have more completed on Manic Journals, as both stories take place in the same universe. Expect it to be a very long time before more is added to Hand Servant.

Gilchrist's positioning in episodic chapters! · 3:09am Sep 28th, 2016

In most chapters that correlate to episodes, my standard procedure is to take the script and add some more reader-friendly formatting to it. What a very important reader has mentioned to me is that it feels like Gilchrist doesn't exist during the episode. While this is partially intentional, I would like to hear everyone's opinion.
