I am Canadian, which I think is just awesome.  I like and prefer to write original stories.  However, after a rather long hiatus from fanfiction...I have returned.  I have published one MLP fanfic with no main cast and several OCs.  I have another 1-2 in the idea/writing works.  I also have a Redwall fanfic in progress and a Leviathan Series fanfiction.

I also happen to be, founder and admin for the group Authors Helping Authors, which was featured by Wanderer D in his monthly report, Pen Stroke (Past Sins) on his blog and as I write this now (February 13, 2013), has since grown to two hundred members.... and I only co-founded it on December 27th, 2012.

Writing style?  Excessive world-building and character development with fun dialogue some attempts at humour. I am too used to the British way of spelling things (as I was brought up in the Commonwealth) so expect to see colour left right and centre as well as other British spellings.

I also have a knack for finding Original Ideas that nobody has done before.  Examples are my semi-popular Canterlot: Her Creation and Her Architects and my VERY popular Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen.  

Bio Info:

Residence: Canada

Education: IB Diploma doing University

Writer Training: None specifically. Some experimentation. Lots and lots of reading.  IB Diploma English HL Course

Music: 90s Disney.  Musicals, lots and lots of musicals (Andrew Lloyd Webber = Awesome)

Fav Authors: Garth Nix, Brian Jacques, Tamora Pierce, RA Savaltore, JK Rowling,

Preferred Writing and Reading Genres:  Mid-long, Multi-Genre, Adventure, Fantasy, touch of Romance, 3rd Person.

Pony I am like the most: According to Bronyland test, either Twilight Sparkle or Applejack, with Rarity in runner up.

Fav Princess: Before it was Luna, but now I've switched my allegiance to Celestia

Fav Mane 6 pony: Twilight Sparkle

2nd Fav: Rarity

3rd Fav: The Rest

Orientation: Straight as a needle

Religion: Roman Catholic (which means I think being gay is a sin, but that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with the people and frankly I've sinned as well so who am I to criticize gay people?)

Relationship status: Single, I'm out the lookout.

Wait so which pony do I like more, Twilight or Celestia?

Well I think I like to read stories on both characters, and although my initial reaction is to say "Twilight", its more because she was a 'pony' not 'princess' or 'alicorn.  Also, I prefer to write Celestia compared to Twilight... therefore its kind of a tie...

My Stories


Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen

At the Royal Wedding, Chrysalis and the Changelings were revealed to all of Equestria.

But another mask was torn away that day.  A mask born for a thousand years.  A mask created on one promise.  A mask, that has become synonymous, fused, to its bearer.

A mask that when ripped off, causes Twilight, her friends and Luna to question everything they ever knew about the one pony, one very important pony.  

At the Royal Wedding, the meaning of the phrase 'Princess Celestia' changes forever.

NOTE: Chrysalis is NOT Celestia!!!  That'd be impossible to pull off.

The Seven Bells and The Six Bearers

Remembrancer Lirael and her niece the Princess Ellimere finally have some time to return to the Clayr's glacier to retrieve Lirael's belongings.  But what seemed like a side excursion has the two young women travelling across a path never trodden, only trotted.  At the end of this path, is Equestria, a paradise that appears not corrupted of free magic and yet free.  Will Lirael open herself to friendship and what will Ellimere do if her aunt doesn't want to leave?  And when the dead do not rest, will the loud, headstrong princess able to work with her insecure aunt as well as the six bearers, to send them back past the ninth gate?

Note: Garth Nix is too brilliant for me to copy his style.  So, I hope you'll accept my imitation as a compromise.  Takes place shortly after the events of Creature in the Case.

In the aftermath of Princess Luna’s transformation into Nightmare Moon, the former capital of Equestria, the Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters has been destroyed.   The site has now become consumed by the Everfree forest and the ground scarred with bad memories.  Thus, Princess Celestia calls for architects across Equestria and gathers a team.  Each of these mares and colts have their own ideas and strengths, and each have their own nightmares and flaws.  In the wake of the devastating civil war between Nightmare Moon and Princess Celestia, this is the tale of how Canterlot, palace, city and home, was built.

Kolwynia.... sounds like you were right all along

Cause has anybody seen the second trailer of Equestria Girls?

it... is... :yay: worthy.

My faith in this movie has been restored...

For one... Spike talks.  Its odd, but hell at LEAST he gets a speaking part and he has excellent lines... just wait until the end of the trailer :moustache:.  That's good enough for me :D

Not to mention... there is ACTUAL very SCARILY reasonable motivation for Twilight to go to the human world.  Twilight is SO in character its hilarious... Music that Daniel Ingram whipped up is sounding pretty good.  The villain... seems decent standard and actually better planned than other ones.... *cough Sombra, cough.  Not to mention the plot actually is showing promise... Twilight now has to get her tiara back by winning it in the fall formal... which actually makes total sense since she can't steal it back and probably its put away by that evil villain... who has a pretty good character design.

Also, if the designs for the characters are oddly colored... at least they are consistent with the other humans who are also oddly colored.  I'm happy with that consistency so even if there is no explanation, its at least consistent.

The only qualm I have is why are there five identical friends in human world... but that'd be asking way too much of the humanising pony thing.  Still... I'm actually thinking the movie shows some promise of being at least an enjoyable episodic style of a movie.
