Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

Retrospective Review: Dragonshy and Look Before You Sleep · 6:59am Jan 25th, 2021

S1E7 Dragonshy

What can I say about this episode that's good?

Okay, I think that Fluttershy finding her courage when it means helping her friends is a powerful message and important definition for her character that fits the future, particularly her reforming Discord.

Retrospective Review: Griffon the Brush Off and Boast Busters · 5:11am Jan 21st, 2021

S1E5 Griffon the Brush Off

Completely unrelated to the episode, I hate that griffon is also spelled griffin and gryphon. I always have to check which the show used when writing a story with griffons.

Retrospective Review: The Ticket Master and Applebuck Season · 3:30pm Jan 20th, 2021

S1E3 The Ticket Master

Oh, so many problems with this episode.

Twilight Sparkle may be sheltered, but she should at least know that she got two tickets so that she could take along a date. This could be handled by having her think she's not interested in a date, and would rather go with a friend, allowing the episode's conflict to happen.

Retrospective Review · 6:45am Sep 29th, 2020

Thinking about watching the whole series and reviewing it. "Now that we know everything that's going to happen in the series, how does this individual episode hold up?"

Random Thought - Houses · 5:52am Mar 13th, 2020

Among human in Equestria stories, I've seen several where the human's house comes with them.

But how does that house get hooked up to the water and sewer? No one ever covers that!

(Though that sounds like something Admiral Biscuit would write.)

Change is natural · 4:25am Dec 8th, 2019

Just noticed this line from the last episode, spoken by Applejack:
"Change is natural, like the seasons."

Hello? You change the seasons manually!

Predictions · 4:53am Oct 24th, 2019

A lot of my stories are set during a particular season, but written long afterwards, so any foreshadowing is 100% accurate. No points for having a story talk about reforming Discord when you know that's going to happen.

But some of my stories in my ongoing humans in Equestria series were set in the future. And here were my predictions.

MLP: FIM writers are definitely reading my stories! · 4:01am Jun 16th, 2019

In Scootaloo's Family, she has a brother who is a fan of Equestria's version of the Crocodile Hunter.

In today's episode, her father is Equestria's version of the Crocodile Hunter.

Coincidence? I think not!

Discord lied! · 4:02am Apr 7th, 2019

Discord: And Twilight... you are and always will be the embodiment of magic.
Twilight Sparkle: [turns her computer screen to face Discord] Have you seen these pictures of me from Gen 5?

Zzzzzzzz.... · 3:02am Apr 3rd, 2019

With Fimfic writers using words like nuzzle, muzzle, and zebra, I wonder what the usage of the letter z is in horse words, and how much greater it is than in typical fiction writing.
