Future plans and introductions · 9:11pm Oct 15th, 2012

Um, hello everyone. Gosh, there's a lot of you. I'm used to the audience of these things being quite a bit smaller.

Thanks to everyone who read my story I am pleased you liked it, and absolutely stunned it was as successful as it was. Special thanks to the fine folks who took the time leave an interesting comment or drop me a line. It's much appreciated.

Right. Now there were a few question that got asked more than once in the comments so I decided to answer them here.

Whom the princesses would destroy -- a compromise solution · 8:12am Oct 6th, 2012

So I was educated, recently, on how long I'm expected to wait for a response to EqD. Suffice it to say it is measured in weeks. It's not that the fine ponies of Equestria Daily are lazy, it's just that there is an astonishing number of stories being sent their way. So, I came up with an alternative -- for those few people who decided to follow me here is the story. Think of it as an early bird

Pony words -- an update · 12:54pm Oct 3rd, 2012

No, I wasn't struck down by lightning made of angry bees[1]. Close, though. Close. You may not know this, but quaternions are God's punishment for a sinful world.

But that's not important. No, the important thing is that my very first story, Whom The Princesses Would Destroy..., is completed. It's been edited, formatted and successfully posted onto FiMFiction. I even managed to find a semi-decent solution for footnotes.

Today was a good day · 9:44pm Jul 10th, 2012

...is what I'd write in my diary if I had the discipline to write one. Which I don't. In my youth my diaries quickly became grammars of invented languages, meticulous catalogues of Interesting Facts About Fractals or whatever bizarre and unlikely thing was on my mind at the time.

A status report · 9:19pm Jul 4th, 2012

My pre-readers, Bad Horse (he's bad!) and Dagger Tongue(probity! gentleman-uh..ness!) have gotten back to me. And, long story short, some people from the Internet Writer Police are coming by later to take my keyboard away.

Okay, not that bad.

Apparently I can't plot. And I need to work on the whole 'writing' thing a bit more. Also, I seem to have an addiction to run-on sentences. A shipment of semicolons[1] and conjunctions is on the way, however.

Jaw-dropping · 12:32pm Jul 2nd, 2012

I don't know how much sense it makes to post this here, but I fear if I do not tell someone, I may burst. Besides, empty text boxes call to me. They demand to be filled with words. Worst yet, they rarely remain sated for long.
