Born in a relatively normal city where people were distrustful of the government, Rcw99 was educated at a public school.

Since then, a great many things have happened to him, all of which are too top-secret for anyone but him to know.

When he's not being investigated by detectives or hunted by police, he enjoys ponies, jet-skiing, drawing, trying to write fan fiction, rock climbing, and all manner of classic rock, especially The Beatles, The Who, Pink Floyd, ELO, Billy Joel and Queen.

Attempting to find out anything else about him will ultimately not turn out well for you.

So today, the 8th of April, is the one year anniversary of Bricks in The Wall.

Woo-hoo.

I had hoped that I would’ve been done with this by now, but however much I try to organize my life à la Twilight Sparkle, I can’t always plan for how long writing stories will take me. Funny thing, when I began writing this, I actually intended to get a chapter out every week. I managed to do that for the second chapter, but after that, I never managed it again.

Of course, today isn’t the anniversary of the day I began writing the story. That would be sometime in December of 2011. It took me four-ish months to write out the first chapter of this story, which was arguably the hardest to get right, considering its ambiguous plot and connection with the rest of the story.

I had hoped to get the first part of Chapter Sixteen out by today, but I didn’t. I kind of lost interest for a while after I finished the Nobody Home chapter and didn’t get back in the groove until it was too late. That, coupled with Spring Break, took up a lot of time that I maybe should’ve been writing the next chapter. So, hopefully, barring any more delays, Part One of Three-ish of Chapter Sixteen should be out sometime before April is over.

I had briefly entertained the idea of an April Fool’s joke chapter where Pink would be woken up by his wife complaining that his particularly fitful nightmare was keeping her awake. He would then go on to tell her that he had a dream where he was a rock star, but everypony he cared about left him.

I would’ve written it, but I was too lazy and couldn’t get the right feel to it.  Meh.

Anyway, everything is coming along swimmingly, and the next chapter should come out soon, unless I once again get distracted by something else.

A Collection of Various Letters in the English Alphabet Arranged in an Aesthetically Pleasing Manner


Bricks in The Wall

My name is Pink and my entire life has been full of  heartache and misfortune, and none of it has been my fault. These tragedies, these bricks, I've experienced have left me scarred, battered and naked before the reproaching eyes of the world. Its been a long time since I felt I belonged in this land of magic and love we ponies live in, because I can see it for what it really is. The smoke and mirrors were ripped away, revealing the wicked stallion behind the curtain. Equestria isn't the fairytale its made out to be, not for me at least. I see no happy ending for me.

Now, I'm all alone and my mind is shattered and blank and I can't focus on anything but the past. I can't stand this silence any longer, but I can't escape it.  There's a crack in the bricks that make up this room that runs from the middle of the doorframe to the baseboard and its just wide enough to see through.

Hey you, out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, would you please just hold me?

Inspired by  'The Wall' by Pink Floyd.

Quoth the Raven

A retelling of Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘The Raven.’

Once upon a midnight dreary, a middle-aged earth pony scholar sits in his study pouring over ancient books, struggling to distract himself from thoughts of his recently deceased lover. To him, it would seem a night like countless others before, but then his otherwise peaceful evening is disturbed by a mysterious tapping sound from his front door. Unbeknownst to him, this noise is only the start of one of his troubles. Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

Man of Mystery, Connoisseur of Wine and Part-time Jazz Musician

If Rcw99 were to choose a time in his life when he was most happy, he would most likely choose a fleeting, yet incredibly confusing moment when he was five. Since then, he has spent most of his life attempting to recapture that part of his youth.

From daring rescues of distressed damsels who may or may not have wanted to be saved, to swashbuckling adventures, to serving time in a jury, nothing seemed to fill the emptiness in his soul nor manage to convince the French government that he was not the man who once stole a loaf of bread to feed his family.

In fact, if Rcw99's family was still alive today, they would probably describe him as "that one relative that we don't really want to speak to, but an all right kind of guy, we guess."

However, if it were not for his family, Rcw99 would not be where he is today. Because, without his family, he would never have been born and most likely would have been born as a girl to another family and named Cynthia, Louise or Margaret.  

And now, if it were possible, this note would, spontaneously  combust, but it can't, so just sort of pretend that its slowly smoldering into ashes and look elsewhere.
