Hello, sparse few who actually read my ramblings! I thought about making a blog post about the relevancy of blog posts that have nothing to do with either ponies or writing!

Actually, that's a bald-faced lie. I just made this post to link the following video:

This video.

One day. One day the Merc with a Mouth will get his due.

Ever wanted to lend your AU/Human/Crossover fic the barest semblance of scientific reasoning? Well, now you can!

An unidentifiable energy source emanating from a cluster of stars named after a guy who was famous for riding a pegasus (among other things)?

Come on.

You motherfuckers want a crackfic, have a motherfucking crackfic.

Oh, god, I can't wait to get started on the next chapter.

In my irresponsible procrastination in reading all of your story updates, I have inadvertently unleashed the Antichrist and loosed Armageddon upon the world.

I am sincerely sorry for my slight oversight dooming all of mankind.

I have a love-hate relationship with adventure stories on FiMfic. On the one hand, I really love adventure stories. On the other hand, most of the ones I read on this site are fucking awful. One adventure fic I read had something stupid like 1800+ likes/faves. It started off with a solid beginning, then degenerated into an endless litany of pointless clop and forgettable characters. It pissed me off so badly I almost swore off HiE fics.

I almost exclusively read HiE fics...

I think one of the few things I'm able to do decently so far is having varied, interesting, and well-developed characters (if not necessarily believable...). However, I know some of you might have some questions about some of their idiosyncrasies, how I came up with them, or even mundane shit like their favorite food. And I'm referring not only to my OCs, but every character in the story. When it comes to the Mane 6, I mostly go off of the show when writing their characters, but pretty much

No, I'm not announcing me posting the next chapter yet. Cool yer jets. It's only at 500 words, but it's flowing quicker than the nasty hiatus between my last two chapters. Expect it when...it's done. No promises, only that it'll happen. I can tell you to expect a menagerie of side characters, though, notably Derpy, Doctor Whooves, Vinyl Scratch, Bon Bon, and most importantly, Lyra, in that order. Those of you who've been reading this fic from the beginning already know which side

The author's note at the end explains some of the issues I had, and those of you who actually read my rare-as-fuck blog posts know the rest, but the next chapter's finally out.

So I have this problem. It's something that's cropped up repeatedly while writing Memories of a Phoenix. I think of a story arc, and certain bite-sized bits seem to make up a decent chapter, so I naturally lump them together and begin hacking away on my keyboard. But then I finish one of said bite-sized bits, and it's long. Really long. And it's got a lot of words. As in, more than I could have reasonably expected.

Alright, you have questions. Some of them are pretty mundane, like, "Hey, Feng, what did you have for breakfast this morning?" Hah! Trick question, bitch, I wake up in the evening and only rarely eat breakfast! Some of you have more pertinent questions, though, like, "Hey, Feng, why you gotta be a gigantic dick and where's the next chapter of Memories?"
