Hey there!

I'm an Australian, a law student, an EqD pre-reader and a FimFic story mod. I love to read, write and just generally consume all things pony.

I have an obsession with the 'epic' in fiction, particularly stories with a sense of grandeur and scale.

My heartfelt thanks to anyone who takes the time to read my stories. I appreciate feedback of any kind, so feel free to leave me a message!

Yikes. It's been a while, hasn't it? I hate these blogs, but I kinda feel guilty when I don't say anything, so please bear with me.

First of all, let me apologise for the lack of activity in the last month or so. No, really, I'm sorry. :( I could go on a long list of specifics, but honestly, I think it's best summed up with: uni. Doing a law degree sucks, especially when it's a double degree. And when I combine this with the fact I am going to one of the best law schools in the country, the competition is intense (scholarship money is great), the workload is crazy (seriously, I am doing single subjects that are worth a degree's entire semesters' worth of units D:), and the fact that this degree will still take me over half a decade... Ew. Just the other week myself and a friend looked at our reading list for one subject that week and were like, 'Oh sweet! It's only 120 pages!' (and while I'm at it, why do academics/case reports feel the need to cram articles and shit on A4 paper in like size ten font? D: How is that meant to be readable?!). But this is one of those things where I know that hard work now will pay off hugely later, so I am just sticking it out. Oh yeah, not to mention working three or four days a week and my attempts to keep some degree of a social life intact. So there you go. Busy doesn't really cover it, haha. I'm also having a problem where whenever I sit down to write, whatever I do write is just... missing something. But that's my problem to work through.

Anyway, the point of all this is to say that while I'm sorry for the lack of updates and activity in general, I just want to say that I'm not gone (just trapped), and I have no plans of leaving As the Sun Sets unfinished. It just might take a little longer than expected as I wait for holidays, haha.

And to anyone willing to bear with me, thank you sincerely. You guys are the best. <3

Have a good one and stay crazy! I will be around. I promise.

>>408546 Yup! I love to visualise things, and those images all spark my imagination and get me picturing crazy, far away places. It's definitely something that I utilise when writing! I love my fantastical landscapes, haha.

Just spent thirty minutes flipping through the slideshow in the module to the left. ONCE. Does every image you see inspire you?

>>388004 Yeah! I find it's one of those really difficult concepts to actually translate from theory to practice, but I also know that when I finally start managing to get it right, my writing will really start to improve. At the end of the day, I guess it just comes down to practice, practice, and more practice!

Oh thank the gods someone with a brain.

I tend to use a lot of narrative rather than rely on dialogue because I like to be subtle about what a character is feeling rather than saying "She is sad", and the less intelligent on the board I've been writing on for the past, what, seven years have told me they don't understand what the character is feeling, or something came out of nowhere, etc. I tried to explain your point to them, but they saw something shiny and wandered away.

I'm glad there is a very talented writer around who can spell it out eloquently.

Yo. Your username is ringing a bell for me.

Were you ever... affiliated in any way with a certain fangame about a supersonic cobalt spiked creature that ran off a heavily modified engine of one of the very first FPS's?
