Well, here we are. The semis are over and done with, and we have our list of 26 songs for the final, so now I can go ahead and proclaim myself the least cool person on the planet by dealing out my points. Usual rule: It goes from 1 through 8, 10 and 12, and I can't vote for my own country.

Slovenia, 1 point.
Malta, 2 points.
Italy, 3 points.
Montenegro, 4 points.
Armenia, 5 points.
Iceland, 6 points.
Hungary, 7 points.
Austria, 8 points.
Netherlands, 10 points.

Sooo...

First off, my apologies for not writing more stuff. Not overflowing with ideas, and while I know that the writer's mantra is "write!", I feel no need to publish what I'd perceive as inferior material. When (not if) I get new ideas for stories, I'll get started again. Promise.

To whoever had the glorious idea of submitting "Love Will Set You Free" to the Canterlot Archives: Thank you for making my day just a little less bright. I know that what I write is not top-tier stuff (which is what the Archives are all about), but I really did not need someone else telling me in words that were none too kind. I can handle brutal criticism of my work when I ask for it - as a comment on a story of mine or in a group that I added the story to myself - but having someone else

First off, sorry to all my readers for what amounts to pointless rambling. If that whole Eurovision thing isn't your cup of tea (and since a lot of you are American, it stands to reason it won't be for a lot of you), I'd advise you to stop reading now. This blog post is exactly what you'd think it's about.

Hello there, dear readers.

First, let me apologize for being rather unproductive these past weeks. I've hit a snag with the new story, and I'm honestly not sure what to do about it, other than continue writing. However, anything I write while affected by writer's block will, of necessity, be inferior, and I certainly won't release stories to the public that I'm not satisfied with.

Well, unless you've been hiding under several tons of rock, you've probably seen the pictures of Twilight the Alicorn.

Well, readers, here we are. I've declared the side stories to the Eurovision 2012 saga closed and done with.

I think one final "thank you" is in order. I'm still astonished when I look at all the numbers relating to my fics. Where did you all come from, anyway? How did you find me? I've seen stories far older (and in some cases, far better) than mine languish at perhaps a quarter of the faves and views I've gotten, and I'd like to know how it all happened in the first place.

Two hundred.

Granted, it took over eight months, but still, Love Will Set You Free is at two hundred thumbs-up now. (Two thumbs down, too.)

Wow. Two hundred people read this thing and thought it deserved to be green-thumbed.
