"Show, Don't Tell": the most common error in amateur fiction. · 5:30pm Dec 29th, 2014

I recently left a suggestion on Tala Tearjerker's first posted story. While there is quite the hullabaloo over her deleting comments (not a controversy I fully understand, to be honest), I have no doubt my comment will remain up. Nonetheless, I feel other new authors could benefit from my verbose suggestion, so I've included it below. :pinkiesmile:

If Fluttershy Falls in the Forest... · 5:45pm Dec 28th, 2014

I've added a couple new koans to OHC today, and will continue to update weekly. I'm not sure if watchers automatically see chapter additions if they aren't tracking a work, however? I don't think they do, based on my notifications.

Anyway, enjoy your zen ponies.

Two Questions: Beyond BBCode and Unhoofing · 4:09pm Dec 22nd, 2014

Two of my upcoming stories may have special needs. Is there any way to go beyond simple BBCode in a story post, e.g. it is possible to link to a CSS, or add Javascript, or even just embed a font?

It looks like if you accidentally click a hoof, you can't remove it: you either have to +1 or -1 it, and that's really not what I'd like to do for most stories. Is there any way to unhoof a story?

Horsie Hangin' · 3:13am Dec 17th, 2014

Update schedule is slowing a bit, but should still be rather frequent over break; except this week because grading. Nonetheless, next chapter is tomorrow.

I admit I was tempted to approach a cliffhanger and then just leave ponies hanging for a while:

My Story Is a Story? Okay! · 3:07am Dec 16th, 2014

My story count has finally clicked over from "0" to "1"! I don't know why, but I have these theories:

* it finally has 65 likes
* it finally has at least (somewhere between 81% and 81.25%) likes ratio
* it finally has 80 votes
* eight days happened, like, in a row (UPDATE: probably this)
* I pissed off a mod and they're all, I'll show you, ha, now you have a story

I Has Made A Art · 8:13pm Dec 13th, 2014

I spent most of today making a fancy-schmancy picture of me for an avatar here!

So, now I actually have a pony self-pic that I cannot blame on General Zoi. :pinkiehappy:
