MLP: The Movie, One Week Later · 5:29am Nov 11th, 2017

Long time no blog! :twilightoops:

So, I have been reserving my 100th blog post for something special. However, with my latest two Thoughts blog posts stalled for the past two years, I’m posting something else. So, time for some thoughts on My Little Pony: The Movie!

There are spoilers ahead, so those who still haven’t watched the leaked version or still waiting to watch it on the Big Screen, beware! :twilightsheepish:

Thoughts: On Names: Design · 12:10am Apr 27th, 2015

Whew! It has been quite a while since the last Thoughts blog. The Ponies on Earth blog is currently going nowhere because I am blocked on the topic and I am still reorganizing my thoughts… for the past one and a half years. Plus, I have all these story ideas swarming my head, snarling all my writings to a crawl. Not to mention my day job robbing most of my free time but I am doing my best to get back to all my writings and publish and update my stories more quickly.

Post: MMDG contest entry up · 9:07am Jan 25th, 2015

News
The More Most Dangerous Game contest deadline ended over a couple of hours ago and I barely submitted the thing in time. Final rush of 18 hours of almost non-stop writing and I managed almost 2.5k words (17 words below the minimum word limit, I hope EqD doesn't disqualify my entry =s).

So I've been quiet lately... · 4:27pm Dec 30th, 2014

So yeah, I haven't posted a single blog since July. Many things have happened since then, including finally graduating from DigiPen (whoo). I'm currently looking for a job as a game programmer, with two interviews lined up, one of which is Ubisoft. Maybe in the future you guys will be cursing me for all the bugs in one of the future Assassin's Creed game. Maybe.

Also, I'll be off starting 1st Jan to 4th Jan for my graduation trip in Hong Kong. Hopefully fun times would be had. :3

If you haven't heard, Obselescence is hosting a writing contest.

The objective of the contest is simple: write a story (2,500 - 15,000 words) with at least one of these prompts:

-An OC Alicorn.

-A Human in Equestria.

-A Seventh Element of Harmony.

-Second Person Perspective.

-An OC and a major canon character (such as one of the Mane Six) fall in love with each other.

Post: Rules of FIMFiction.net · 2:29am May 25th, 2014

So in the Seattle's Angels Skype chat, people were talking about Magnum Opus Dissonance and about:

[12:45:23 AM] AdamTheAstoundingEquine: People either remember the silly stories or the sexy ones.

So I decided:

[12:45:53 AM] M1Garand8: We need to compile a list of Rules of fimfic

Because I have a silly imagination and it links MOD, the above and Rules of the Internet together for some reason.

So, hail the list (revised 29th May):
