Today, I feel very very bored, hence blog post.

The Colours of Dusk is coming along nicely, currently at 23,000 words and about a third of the way through so far. I hope all of you are fans of Rule 63 and/or TwiDash because I'm putting super amounts of work into it. I have no idea of when it'll be up yet, because this story is so big (for me) I'm being rather careful with making sure it's all in order before I publish it.

Another thing I am putting a lot of work into (kinda) is my exams. God I hate exams. I realised the other day just how much school and university will get in the way of your education. Think about that.

That aside, I learnt a curious little fact about the name Gallifrey, apparently it literally translates to: They that walk in the shadows, which is pretty cool.

Time to amble some more of my life away doing some pointless crap. See ya. :3

As an early birthday present, thatman has kindly written me a fanfic featuring, well, me.

Gallifrey and the Amazing Crossover Coincidence

My favourite line was: "Oh God, I'm in a fanfiction aren't I?"

Yeah, if you wanna have a look, please do. It makes him look good if nothing else.

Meanwhile, I must get back to writing my own rubbish story.

Ta ta.

Hai guiz, say hello to my new OC Prince Crying Vengeance Edgy Swag IV (OC, do not steal!)

Right, so okay, basically, apart from being super kawaii desu desu, he was a born alicorn and is destined to be the Seventh Element of Harmony, the Element of Darkness. He is the Chosen One to balance the light and the dark in the world, but nobody liked him because he was different and a bit evil so they snapped his horn off and bit his ear and even his family abused him because he wasn't normal. His parents by the way are Luna and Discord, and Luna even put the spirit of Nightmare Moon into him, so he became all evil and stuff even though he didn't want to be. Fuelled by hatred, he murdered Luna in cold blood and now has to live with the mental anguish of having killed her. Stricken by the battle of good and evil inside of him, he succumbed to insanity, and forgot who he was and died of grief. But Celestia, being the glorious Sun Goddess she is, decided to give him a second chance, that's when he woke up in Ponyville for no reason whatsoever. Did I mention he's super kawaii desu and can shoot lasers from his eyes?  He's also bisexual by the way, DON'T JUDGE HIM! He is proud of it as well LUV & TOLER8! If you're sraight that means you hate gays amirite?! So yea, no haters here or I'll report you. Anyway, Prince Crying Vengeance Edgy Swag IV (OC, Donut Steel!)  owns a dakimakura of Twilight Sparkle because she's his waifu forever. The only problem is that he's cursed now to always cause harm even though he only wants to be loved and so he tragically kills Twilight in her sleep while screaming "why?!" because he can't stop himself. So he takes his own life and dies 4realz this time and goes to pony heaven to receive his redemption and have lots of sex with cute anime characters.

BROHOOF FOR EPICNESS! /)^3^(\

So what do you guys think? This is the best story idea evar. Pls comment but no haters 'kay, my life is depressing enough without having to deal with constructive criticism, heaven forbid.

*Right, on a serious note, if any of you actually took a single word of the above abomination seriously, you should be ashamed.

So, I stumbled across this beauty yesterday:

They look so cute together I just wanna dive into the picture and say hi and hug them and kiss them and– the picture reminded me why male pone is totally better than female pone.

In fact, it's so good, it makes me want to write some more rule 63, but I'm running low on ideas at the moment, so if anyone would like to contribute a concept to me, I'll be more than happy to take it into consideration, slice of life, shipping, dark, sad, anything you want. (Except clop) ;)

If you favourited Chasing Rainbows, I imagine you'll be notified of this blog... I think...

More rule 63.

With the completion of A Golden Afternoon, I will shortly continue work on Paper Cuts, and then...

Aha... I know I'm not the most stellar writer out there, not by a long way in fact. Nevertheless, I always viewed my writing of fanfiction for you all as a) my gift back to the fandom that's given me so much, but also b) a means to practise my creative writing, receive feedback and from that, hone my skills as well as develop new ones.

I have long harboured a dream, a longing even, to publish a book. Not just the short stories I write on this site, but a real story with original characters and all that. I wouldn't care about making money, but it would certainly be nice if other people beside myself read it.

If I could create a story, lovingly write it and a publisher made just one copy, printed in a pretty font and bound neatly to stand proudly on my bookshelf forever... I would have lived my dream, and I'd be so very happy.

*cough* Anyway, that's what I intend to pursue in due course, as that's the biggest aspiration I have– Actually no, that's a lie. My biggest dream (although I never expect it to happen) would for a piece of work that I created to become popular amongst a wide audience. Not for monetary gain, but so I can hopefully make people happy, make them smile, and offer them a new perspective on life. But an even bigger reason: books live for a long time, far longer than I can ever hope to live, so if I ever created a popular book, it would last long after I'm gone; people would read my words perhaps for hundreds of years, and that's a nice thought.

We only die when the last ripples we create in the pool of life dissipate.

Aim high, make some waves.

What will probably happen when I try to make waves.

Still, a man can dream, I may ride those waves one day.

Coming soon to a computer screen near you!

It's probably not the best idea to be working on three stories simultaneously, but whatevs; I rather like this idea and hope I can do it at least reasonably adequately. I've been much more dark and edgy than I should be and I find myself contemplating these issues quite often nowadays and this will serve as a helpful outlet.

In FUN news, I was trying to work on A Golden Afternoon, because the lecturer today may as well be mute for all I can fucking hear of him.

Here is a masterful excerpt (that will not be included) that may amuse you or make you want to bang your head on a desk, or, hopefully, both. X

This abomination was written by me and two friends at the high peaks of boredom:

"That's duck-billed platypuses?" said Applejack, wondering what the fuck she was saying.

"It's the writer's friend!" yelled Pinkie happily, "she's fucking up Gallifrey's magnum opus!"

"Magnum opus? Ha! Gallifrey pls go," said Thatman, his alluringly handsome features visible from behind the increasingly transparent fourth wall.

"Gallifrey says he hates you all," said Pinkie, no smiles; only dreams now.

"Well that's not very neighbourly of him, sugar plum," whispered Applejack in a dramatic fashion that was completely uncalled for.

"Mcfucking kill yourself," said Pinkamena darkly, through the veil of her deflated bangs, the only emotion in her voice being that of emo.

A wild Ron Paul appeared!

Thatman throws a pokeball at the wild Ron Paul, unfortunately the wild Ron Paul escaped! So close!

"Why didn't you stop it?! Ooooooooooooeeeeoooooo!" Ron Paul wailed from the forbidden dimensions of /mlp/.

“Shut up!” shouted Twilight, abusing her powers over the laws of Time and Space for personal gain, and closing the void between worlds. The Doctor would be turning in his grave, if he were dead. PLOT TWIST, he was (You do that one more time and I’d swear M.Night.Shyamalaamadingdong was directing this).

I shiggy diggy doo daa.

“What the zip doobity bop did you just zoobity bop bip about me you little zop bap bibbity bang?” said the aethereal voice of Bill Motherfucking Cosby.

“The prophecy will soon be complete, yes,” said Pinkie, rubbing her hooves together.

And then they all fucked.

Twilight Sparkle sat bolt upright, blankets falling off her tousled purple mane. She had awoken suddenly from a deep sleep, and dreams she curiously had no recollection of. She turned and looked up at the wooden clock perched on her wall.

“Bleh, three in the morning,” she grumbled.

This evening, these words were running around in circles in my mind, for these were the first words I wrote, when I was sat in the freezing cold at a train station, one year ago today. I described the scene in detail in my blog post 10,000. In short, I was bored, dying of hypothermia and had a terrible hangover, it's quite amusing to me now that I started this hobby that has brought me so much joy, at a time where I felt so very miserable.

I was reflecting on this today, where I made sure I sat in the very same seat I began in. It made me think about how far I've come in the last year, how the world, in all it's weird, wonderful, beautiful and even scary facets has warped and shifted in its nature, and how I've been changing along with it, for the better. Quite frankly, I'm having the time of my life.

So here's to another year, let's see what I can sneeze out; you never know, some of it might even be good.

Love always,

Gallifrey

Hooray! I've been on this site for a whole year now, and a lot has changed.

I joined as "Gallifrey1993" with a picture of Pinkie puking rainbows. I was still relatively new to the fandom and was a complete newbie to fanfiction as a concept.

Bedazzled and inspired by the superb quality of some of the writers here, notably device heretic and Varanus, I signed up and started devouring fanfiction, and never really stopped. I swiftly picked up my pen as well and started creating myself, but that's for another blog post.

I've had a lot of fun on this site, meeting new people, sharing my thoughts, enjoying reading stories and learning how to write my own (sort of).

So I'd like to say thank you to you all for being a part of this. <3 I want to hug you all.

That little happy point aside, I want to thank everyone who has read A Golden Afternoon so far, it's been a joy to write, with it being so different from my bread and butter "Two ponies, one likes the other, make them fall in love and it's all cute hurrr" stories.

Now, I've got curry to eat and pone to write, this is the life. Seriously, I'm loving life right now.

Lots of love,

Gallifrey

Yay for first 'proper' story in a while!

Proper meaning multi-chapter in this case.

If you enjoy Alice in Wonderland, do go check it out, you never know, you might like it!

This one has been and is continuing to be very fun to write, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading it.

In other happenings, last Saturday's episode was pretty good. Speedy ending but hey, they only have 22 mins to work with. I also want to make sweet, passionate love to John de Lancie's voice, just his voice mind, it's too sexy.

And related to John, I watched the Documentary yesterday, and it wasn't that bad, there were bits that made me laugh, others that made me cringe, but overall it was enjoyable.

I've rambled enough now, have some Discord.

Forever yours,

Gallifrey

Hooray! My exams are over!

Which means my face now looks like this.

Even though some of them didn't go perfectly I find it hard to care on this side of time.

So I now have... a full TWO days holiday before I'm back at university! I know, a whole TWO!

Which means I now have much more time write so yay!

Once I've racked up a few thousand more words I'll release one of the two I'm working on.

That's about it really, though I would like to add I saw a man fall over in the snow today and laughed way more than I should have done.

And have some steampunk, because steampunk is amazing.

Forever yours,

Gallifrey
