It's been a while, hasn't it?

Truth be told, it was more than simple burnout. I'd been at a bit of a rapid clip back then. Problem is, with my last fic, which I couldn't finish (but those of you who remember will see the one I've deleted), I'd fallen into the worst bit of a funk. Not only was it turning out to be a mess of random concepts the way Suck had, but I didn't really know where to take it. I'd gotten depressed, and lost my faith as a writer, since I had no idea what to do.

You know, when I asked for ideas for the Cloptober Challenge, I was reasonably confident I'd be done with Suck by now. As it turns out, while I'm mostly done with the ending, I find myself wondering if I'm tying the plot points, if it's going too long, etc. I'm actually thinking of splitting the ending in two and using what I have now as a Chapter 9.

First off, I'm knee-deep in Ch. 7 of Suck, and should have that done in a day or two. We're reaching the, er, climax, as it were. ;)

In the meantime, I need some help from you all. :) See, EQAD is holding a writing challenge. 50K words during the month of October, and it has to be a clopfic (for reasons that should be obvious).

A commenter on a story I was reading brought up something rather interesting. In most fan-fiction, Rainbow Dash is described as being cyan-colored. However, this is not the case. Now, the linked pic is not being, as I'd say, polite or constructive, but the point is made. Cyan is far too strong a color for G4 Rainbow Dash. Consider the various shades outlined here.

OK, here's a little something for editing. Now, as you probably know, FIMFiction.net uses BBCode for submitting stories. Yes, one could use Google Drive, but I could never get it to work, so I usually use LibreOffice Writer to make a new HTML document and type up my fic there, then save the HTML file and use the source code (open the HTML doc with a simple, Notepad-like text editor) and paste the source to the HTML to BBCode conversion tool at

Hey guys.

First off, I'm going to have a new chapter of "Suck" in the next day or two. I've just been having issues with my transition from Windows to Kubuntu, and Tekken Tag 2 just came out, so I've been playing like a fiend. Hm, wonder if anyone's made any Tekken Ponies...

Ok, here's something interesting. With "Suck" up to Chapter 2, I got 45 faves for it. However, I have only 30 likes against 7 dislikes. Who faves without liking? And why? Wouldn't you like it if it were a favorite? Or am I missing something?

Looks like the ability to exclude characters in search is back. There's really only one thing to say about that.

Okay, as you all know, the FiM folks have been shaking things up recently. Now I don't much care about the whole search to google thing, as I have a tendency to fave anything I'd want to read again. However, the browse search filters seem to have an interesting omission - the inability to specifically exclude characters. This may seem minor, but I usually make it a point to exclude OCs when browsing, if only because the signal-to-noise ratio with OCs dramatically favors noise, even against

Hey guys! This might seem an odd issue, but for some reason, when I try to publish a story, my formatting is lost in the translation. Am I missing something? I kinda feel noobish here, but I'm not entirely sure if there's another way to upload chapters or if I actually have to format manually here.
