So I know it's vain as hell, but i frequently go back and reread my own fics. With repeated exposure of the same text to my eyes no longer doing it for me, I crave stimulation for my ear holes. Way way back I got a couple readings of Pinkie Pie is an Eldritch Abomination and always found it weird that THAT was the one that got the attention. It's definitely a...rougher example of my work (I wrote it in 2 hours procrastinating on a chapter of Then Tomorrow Came).

So, I caught wind of Dirty Little Secret's Dirty Little Contest and figured it was just the push I needed to try writing an actual clopfic. It will, of course, be an absolutely ridiculous comedy.

Description: To win back her honor and the Crown of the Sibling Supreme, Twilight acquires a dick and challenges a very confused Shining Armor to a "sword fight". Things get weird from there.

So, after many years of people telling me I should do so, I've finally started a proper blog (only about 10 - 13 years late to the bandwagon). And yes, I mean an actual blog external to what you're reading on this site now. On Wordpress and everything.

It's called "Science, Politics, and Ponies". I hope the title is pretty self-explanatory. If not, it's a mix of three things.

Having grown very distressingly short on cash, I was just browsing through Upwork, looking for something that doesn't require a bunch of previously logged experience as a requirement and isn't buried in 50+ applications already. Eventually I came across this posting.

So I've had this...odd idea for a small fic kicking around in my head for a while, and I may end up writing it soon if it keeps up. I imagine the only people who would enjoy it would be a very particular kind of fucked up, with most everyone else either just skipping it or downvoting it into oblivion.

A friend (and roommate) of mine suggested that maybe I should get into writing commission fics. I find the idea kind of intriguing. I'd get to exercise and sharpen some writing skills by working off a prompt for something I might not think to do otherwise, and someone with an idea but a dearth of writings skills (or just someone who likes my particular style) gets their fic made. There's also the fact that it would simply force me to sit down and write more. Sure, a hefty percentage of

So I'm sitting here on election night with this now nearly depleted bottle of Jack Daniels, wondering what the fuck is wrong with my country (yeah, not hard to guess my political persuasion). Just thought I'd mention that I'll do my best not to put a fucking bullet through my head, if for no other reason than that I'd like to actually finish Heart of Loyalty one day, and I consider it quite rude when authors up and die in the middle of incomplete projects. Still, fuck you America. Just...fuck

Massive new chapter finally posted. Merry Christmas to everyone still reading! Technically I missed the midnight deadline for a a Christmas posting, but that's because I got pulled off to my sister's boyfriends's family's place and then had to deal with the import from Google Docs murdering the formatting as usual.

Was browsing through the comments on another story when the issue of character ages in EQG came up. More specifically the fact that extremely long lived (and possibly immortal) characters such as Celestia and Luna exist as presumably mortal characters somewhere in their 30's to 40's in EQG. This prompted a train of thought expressed in the following rambling comment I made.

So my thesis is finally completed, defended, and submitted to the library. I'm done. Graduated with my Masters in Geology. If for some reason you are just dying to read it, you can find it here. Check it out if you're really into lakes, paleoclimatology, or geochemistry.
