Murica! · 3:37pm Jul 4th, 2015

Happy birthday, America! Especially lately, I'm rather proud to be from this country. Despite being animated in Canada, I think Pinkie's pretty happy too. Heck, Canada Day was only a few days ago anyway!

Oh, and "The Iron Horse" is almost ready for another update. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. Depends on how heavily I need to edit it.

The New Cover is Chosen! · 4:15am Jun 23rd, 2015

Just a general announcement to folks here. After getting a surprisingly large amount of feedback, all quite helpful, by the way, a new cover has been chosen. The votes are in and I tend to agree with the voters on this one: Option 3 was the clear winner, and so "The Iron Horse" now has a new cover! (The original post can be found here.)

Possible new cover for "The Iron Horse" · 3:02am Jun 19th, 2015

Hello dear readers! I'm currently thinking of replacing my current cover for "The Iron Horse" and going with something without text. I figure having the title isn't really necessary in this case, since it appears with the entry anyway. Here are some options. I'd genuinely like to know what everyone thinks is the most appealing version or if you prefer the current one.

So Sick of Humans... · 11:40pm Jun 16th, 2015

This blog post will be more than a little bit ranting, so please be advised. If you're a big HiE ("Human in Equestria") fan, you might want to skip this. Not that I have terribly many followers right now who might read it anyway, but what the heck, I feel the need to rant to get my creative juices flowing today. :twilightsheepish: Here goes...

Teeny Tiny Turing Test · 7:30am Jun 4th, 2015

Just a minor thing here: I thought I might start using Turing Test in forum responses more often, so I'm trying out more bite-sized forms. Feel free to download the image and use it yourself!

Might even make a tinier version. Now if only I could make it an animated gif...

In the most recent chapter of "The Iron Horse: Everything's Better with Robots!" we see Twilight Sparkle wake up from a nightmare and fly outside to calm herself. She meets Gadget, who also confesses to having a nightmare. The two of them talk, they make up from their earlier fight, and they resolve to try harder to help Turing Test.

The Site Takedown and Why it Doesn't Matter · 2:32am Apr 18th, 2015

So, I'm a very new user on this site. As of this post, it has only been three weeks since I posted my first story, "Butterflies." I already like a lot about this site over Fanfiction.net, though I have a much longer history on this site. The interface, the system, and just the overall look of it. Not to mention the fact that your story has to at least be legible to be accepted.

How to Name a Robot Pony · 11:23pm Apr 13th, 2015

Hey everypony! For anyone curious, I'm putting up this post to discuss how I selected names for the mechanical pony in my story "The Iron Horse." Well, it was way way WAY harder than I thought it would be. I originally was just going to go with "Brass Hooves," but then I was like, "No, there are a million generic OCs named 'Something Hooves.'" I wanted to come up with something that would work, but still be cool. And I spent hours and hours coming up with names and trying to get some of them to

Looking for Groups · 5:21pm Apr 3rd, 2015

So, I'm a bit new to this particular site, even though I have a presence over at FanFiction.net where I mostly write longform Digimon fanfiction. (If anyone is interested, you can find me there at this link.)
