On February 24, 2022, eight years after they launched a limited invasion and occupation of border regions, the regime of Russia attacked Ukraine from multiple sides with the intent of fully conquering the nation, thence to dismember choice territories and install a puppet regime over whatever remained. Their justifications - imperial revaunchism, nationalist lies, and contempt for what they view as an inferior people - are familiar to those educated on Nazi Germany. As is their actions on

A pleasant surprise found me a few days ago on learning an enterprising pony commissioned fan-art for my little AU from the illustrious Pencils! Just thought I'd share.

With thanks to both the artist and commissioner.

Exactly what it says on the tin! If anyone else is going (and if there's any kind of Fimfiction discord meetup group on it~), please let me know. With travel and etc. I likely won't be going to many of these, so I'd love to RL meet as many Fimfic peeps as I can.

There are few feelings for an author quite as wonderful as receiving fan art, all the more because I found it by sheer chance. While the artist MrRicharZ has taken it down from Derpibooru he was kind enough to let me use his work as cover art for the story.

I like that story enough (and have grown fond enough of listening to dramatic reads) that I have commissioned one from our own Skijarama!

Impulse bid me scroll through my favorites tab a few days ago. There were many 4k-word Rarijack stories which have all blended together, many recent stories I recall well, and a few ancient classics I found myself suddenly reminded of (“Justice Itself,” holy cow).

The new Zelda games have given me great enjoyment, and a wistful longing for more which is familiar to many in the MLP community. The Rito in particular have my interest, being in my opinion the best constructed of the races with sadly the least overall screen time. This happy union of heart and mind lured me to write a brief (2k word) fanfic interpretation of the events of Breath of the Wild from Teba's perspective, which I have attached under the page break for anyone interested. It includes

So passes my second Brony convention!

They moved to the Dayton convention center, making for less potential for impressive photos but also much more elbow room.

I felt like I had a better time, owing to a much more organized board game room that I ran about 6 hours worth of pony-themed games in (Buck Legacy, Adventures in Equestria, etc). The business kept me very active and made my free time very valuable. Maybe next time I'll make a proper panel...
