Just a small time writer from the humble Wasteland State of Arizona. I spend most of my time writing stories or playing video games. That's all that really describes me.

A Moment of Thanks · 5:41am Jan 29th, 2013

As my newest story (a two-shot) nears completion, I would like to thank all of you for your time and dedication to my work. You guys have been keeping me checking FIMFiction compulsively for just over ten months now, and though the original story I wrote (which looking back upon it was hilariously bad) is long gone, sacrificed to the delete button, my fond memories will always stay. I thank you, each and every one of you, for putting up with my progressively better writing, and especially to

MULTIPOLL · 7:49pm Jan 20th, 2013

Yes, another one. It seems the call of punk rock fics will always beckon me, so as soon as AitEN is finished, I will be doing an intermediate fic while I sharpen up the details for TCIB before I publish it called "I'm With The Band", which will follow a punk rock band on their first tour. Now of course, there ARE multiple ways I can approach this, but I think I'll take a poll, or rather several, to decide these.

POLL ONE: Story Tone

Possible Rematch/Poll · 4:11am Jan 12th, 2013

Well, the two part chapter is remaining two part, though I'm having some trouble writing it and may need to call in a friend. In any case, I was rereading a few chapters of AitEN and I came across the guitar duel. Now, looking back on the video I linked, it wasn't such a good choice for a guitar battle. It wasn't quite "battle-y" enough. It was just a duet, so I found two pieces of music that would work pretty well. As a VERY important plot event is on the way that brings back a previously

Good and Bad News Both · 1:51am Jan 11th, 2013

Good News: I actually joined a band. I'm now playing for a local band called The Fifth Season (with a pending name change to The Joy Buzzards) as bassist.

Bad News: I may or may not have to split the originally planned two-part concert chapter of AitEN into three parts.

Possible Ending Theme for AitEN (also further delays) · 2:35pm Jan 7th, 2013

Since AitEN's epilogue skips over everything except the last day of the group's final day of summer vacation, I think I found the perfect ending theme for it.

It's befitting of 42 Pickup's garage-rock musical talents and it also talks about how going back to school is bullsh*t.

I CAN PLAY GUITAR NOW · 7:17am Jan 6th, 2013

Kinda. I know one song now. Three chords.
E Minor, G, A.

The song?

"D&D" by Stephen Lynch.

"It's Deee and DEEEEEEEE~! Fighting with the legends of yore! It's Dee and DEEEEEE! Never kissed a lady before! (Nope! M-mm. )

Poll Results (I Guess) and more Music + Apology · 4:20am Jan 5th, 2013

Well, since my last poll met with a resounding result of one vote (for the Fender P-Bass), I decided to just pick that one. Furthermore, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to post any new chapters. I've been really busy with this new thing called a social life that I haven't really had before, and I'll still continue writing. Also, the chapter I'm writing may well be my first over 2000 words. To top all of this off, I'm going to give you a bit of music from two friends of mine, Ezra Anderson

Oh Goody Another Bass Guitar Poll · 9:34pm Dec 31st, 2012

OK, so since what seems to be all of my readers' favorite story, Anarchy In The Equestrian Nation, is drawing to a close in eight chapters, I figured I'd throw another poll your way, this time for its sequel.
