So for about a month (maybe a month and a half) I'll be MIA because I have to go to the field for training. Unfortunately, there will probably not be much in the way of internet access, and we may even have our cell phones confiscated for a time while there. This will not be very conducive to online activity, obviously, so you won't be seeing anything from me during this time. Hopefully, once I get back I'll be able to start doing stuff again. Until then, take care.

So, due to popular demand (well, three or four people, anyway), I did a sequel to Love Is Patient. I used another quote for the title, though this one's from Nietzsche, which is kind of the opposite of the source for the other quote. I had to do another Nietsche quote for the chapter title (only chapter there is, of course), which is really a partial quote. For those who didn't get it right away, he's talking about death being able to "sweeten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of

I know I said once that I would probably only blog about stuff related to my stories because I suck at the whole blogging thing, but I figured I'd throw this out... somewhere. At least so I have it written down somewhere if the idea becomes useful in the future. I'm sure we all noticed how in the beginning of the show there were two representatives of each of the three canon races in the Mane 6. By the end of season 3, of course, Twilight Sparkle transformed into the fourth race heretofore

I've posted the prologue to a new story, Somebody To Love. It kind of came to me as an offshoot of a comic I did awhile ago also based heavily on Queen, Can Anypony Find Me.... I found the idea of Rarity basically getting a bit of wish fulfillment in her love life, but then finding that she was really happier with what she already had to be a nice

Well, I just recently posted Love Is Patient, a fanfic using the Next Gen OCs by Kilala97. She doesn't do too much fanfic with them, herself, but the art and concepts are A+. The fanfic is an attempt at writing a morally ambiguous character in a somewhat romantic light. It seems like I was somewhat successful in portraying the protagonist in a bit of an uncomfortably

I've just submitted my first foray into the realm of clop. And it's for a Sparity contest, no less. Yeah, the minimum word count was 2,000, but I went for broke and wrote 14,431 words. That's not counting the rewrite. Yeah, I really hope it ends up being sexy. I feel I'm at a bit of a disadvantage since I tend not to be turned on by pony porn. I try, though. In any case, stay tuned as the fic should hopefully pass moderation soon.

So the Elements of Harmony are out of the picture and some new mysterious MacGuffins have been introduced as what will probably be a season finale quest. I was kind of concerned that they'd do something like this after the Season 3 finale (not this, exactly, but you know… wasn't 100% sure on the status quo remaining deified). Kind glad now that I held off on posting my newest chapter of Atlas Strongest Tournament since it was going to prominently feature the Elements whereas in previous

No one panic, I'm still writing this even though I'm late posting the next chapter. Actually, I'm taking a couple weeks off from this due to several factors. First, my wife's coming back from her trip to Taiwan after being gone for a month and a half, so I can't spend every waking moment thinking about ponies beating each other into a pulp and Spike getting his swag on. Second, I'm up for promotion and I have to study for the board, get a good score on my APFT, and will probably be getting sent

So I'm done with the crazy amount of classes and recovering from eye surgery, and I'm ready to get back on this fic. I have a lot planned for the latter half of it, and Season 3 actually helped a little, strangely enough. That being said, I went back and made some minor edits due to some of the... ahem... changes in the latest season. You may notice that references to Twilight as a unicorn have mysteriously vanished only for references to her using wings to have appeared. It hasn't changed the

So when I started posting Atlas Strongest Tournament I was still in FOB Shank, Afghanistan working about ten hours, sleeping three to four hours, with nothing to do with the remaining ten hours but write pony stuff, and I did to the the tune of a chapter a day at least. Then I was told I would be shipping back to the States midtour. Surprise. So I get back and apparently Rear Detachment is a mess with us having to do crappy details all day instead of getting to go home after half a day like
