So, what happens when you get Ditzy, her parents, the Doctor, the kids, and Daring Do around the same dinner table?

Not a happy Doctor, I'll tell you. At least until the monsters show up. For all the Choices fans who liked Ditzy's parents, here they are again, and they don't exactly get along with mister John Smith.

What you believe in or not, have a good and pony last two weeks of the year. I'm cooking a present up for Saturday.
And tomorrow, when it's light out, I'll post pics of my pony nativity in the window. See if you can guess who I use for what.

So the fine bronies at MLP Writer's Workshop will have me as a guest on their livestream today! I'll be interviewed during the last segment here. They'll be having me discuss characterization, romance and adventure, and a lot of Doctor Whooves questions, among other things. Hope to see some of you there!

Okay, so here's the schedule for me. I've been pretty busy helping the local science groups host their annual Carl Sagan Day festival, but I should have time now for tsome writing in the next few weeks.

I was contacted sometime ago by a collaboration interested in a Tarot-themed Crusades-era Equestria about whether I'd like to do the Doctor Whooves part.
Naturally, this was the result.
