Cadence, Alicorn of...what? · 3:50am Jan 15th, 2014

Yep. You caught me. I spell her name with an 'e.'

What do you mean, I've been avoiding this?

I, PuddingNPie, officially commit to my decision.

Anyway, back to the crystalline heart of the matter. I had a dream last night, and in it I was privy to the secrets of the ascension of everyone's favourite pink and purple and yellow princess of rock candy.

There was, though, a small detail which, upon waking, my ever-sharp conscious mind did so vehemently deny.

Revelation Regarding Fanfiction · 11:12am Nov 14th, 2013

I studied Literature this year.

For one of my major assessment tasks, I was to use Edith Wharton's naturalistic novella Ethan Frome as the basis for a 'creative response' to the text. I had to pay close attention to Wharton's style, techniques and concerns while letting my narrative voice come through as my own, to strike the difficult balance between emulation and personalisation.

The Pitfalls of Jenga · 7:10am Jul 14th, 2013

Building a story is like building a Jenga Tower. You start with a base, and pile the ideas on in a self-indulgent excercise just as you inflate your confidence, smiling all the way.

That Certain Equation · 2:17am Apr 28th, 2013

Friendship is Magic.

Yes, scholarly nods are in order.
While watching Keep Calm and Flutter On for the second time, two things in particular caught my attention:

1: The Title Dump with all the subtlety of Bucky McGillycuddy to the face.
Fluttershy: Go on. Say it...
Discord: [groans] Alright. [quickly] Friendship is magic.

2: Discord's relationship history.

Now that I've finally worked out how to blog... · 1:43am Apr 14th, 2013

I swear I'm not a ludite, nor a technophobe.
Reading a screen is just fine, keyboards are quicker than pens and I'm on good terms with Microsoft Word at the moment.
I might even have a mild obsession with everyone's favorite dragon-slaying open-world RPG.
My point is, just because I type with three fingers and have no idea how to fix my microwave doesn't mean I don't like the electronic world.
I do.

Most of the time.
