Although I didn't know it. Due to various reasons I ended up deciding not to do the initial idea I had for the LTP, so whilst I'm thinking of another one, I may as well crank out as many updates as I can before I have to focus all my concentration on it again. There should be another chapter of Music on the way very shortly; I couldn't do a Fear update despite it being next on the A-B schedule I have going on because things are still happening with the last chapter. Music is nice and quick to

Surprise, I did more things! Newest chapter of Music is now out. I wasn't expecting it to be quite as long as it was, but there y'are. I had a lot of fun with that particular chapter. Music is quietly turning into my 'baby', whilst poor Fear Of The Fall is getting middle child syndrome all of a sudden with how long the updates take to come for that. Next update for Fear will take a while, since I'm now going to focus on the Little Town Project as an A-side, if you will, and have my

The first draft of FotF is done, and awaiting pre-reading. In preview: this chapter ended up a lot calmer and less comedic than other chapters, mainly because it didn't have Rainbow Dash or Rarity as viewpoint characters, but partially because I just felt the need to do some nice character moments with my favourite pony. Also: for anybody who cares, my 'why the hell not' approach to shiptease seems to have bled through from Rainbow Dash to Twilight, seeing as you now get a little TwiPie

For a while now, there have been certain groups or subgenres of stories which I refuse to write. The reasons for these are diverse, and usually don't make a great deal of sense, but here they are: a list of story types I don't do, and why I don't do them.

Of mooses tend to be scribbled down on the back of party napkins. My blog titles never actually mean anything and any freudian imagery they suggest is strictly in your imagination.

Hope you guys had a nice change of year. I spent mine at a friend's house, playing boardgames and winning some of them. Risk is hilariously momentum based. I managed to get cards worth ten stars after the third or fourth turn, got 30 guys and went to town on Africa and Europe, which hadn't predicted it. I conqured so many territories that I got cards worth another ten stars when I was finished. Next turn, everybody else folded. (Also, we played Monopoly, which I didn't win in. We just kind've

Since we're reaching towards the end of the year, I think I ought to say this, just for the record. For all those who have favourited or watched my stuff, and who have been perhaps disappointed that I didn't leave a comment on your page thanking you or something: traditionally, I thank faves and watchers by continuing to make new chapters and new stories for you to enjoy, and also continuing to hold myself to decent standards so what I make for you is good. Don't feel like I'm not grateful,

I know I keep saying I'll quit doing stuff before Christmas, but this is really the last thing before I take my day or so of vacation. After Kaleidoscope went so well, I thought I should show you guys what happens when things don't go so well. In other words, I'm putting up a small collection of stuff that, for whatever reason, I didn't think was good enough to use when I wrote it. Usually I wouldn't bother, but I ended up going through all my work as a kind of personal 'end of year

Welp, Kaleidoscope has been up for coming on 24 hours, which is pretty much where I consider the cutoff point to be in terms of activity; usually, I find you can gauge opinion on the story (good, bad or indifferent) by then. So, what are my parting thoughts?

There are some projects where you beat your forehead against the glass, fruitlessly, trying to get to the core of the idea. There are other projects where the words fly like lightning from your fingers, arranging themselves in walls of detail that stand like towers on firm stone.
