Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

    Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition

    Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

    So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

    Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years...

    Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.

    FUCKING DONE FINALLY

    "The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and

    I don't know for how long, because I never know these things.

    A thing y'all should maybe know

    I may or may not make the change here on Fimfiction, but on Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net, I am changing my handle to Kaleidolon. Mainly as a branding differentiator between fanfic and profic. It's not like I can hide that Alara J Rogers writes fanfic, not after posting it to the Internet for literally 29 years, but when I get published in real life I want it to be slightly

FUCKING DONE FINALLY · 10:00pm Oct 10th, 2023

"The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and unlike the others, it's short. I thought I'd wind it up within weeks, at the time. I posted 4 chapters at once because they were coming so quickly. And then the last one came out in 2016 and I've been stalled ever since, on one freaking chapter.

Well, it's done! Is it what I pictured in my head, when I first came up with the ending? No, these things evolve, and it didn't end up being nearly as Wagnerian apocalyptic as I thought. But it's close enough, and now it's done. One less incomplete on my karmic balance, yay!

Congratulations!

Congrats! Writing inspiration comes and goes, I’m in a writer’s block right now myself, I get the feeling! However, reading other people’s fanfics, including yours, makes me more motivated so thank you. It’s always great when a fic is complete! :pinkiehappy:

That's awesome! Congrats! :pinkiehappy:

Congratulations. Always good to have one less project on the docket.

Congratulations! As a fan I always appreciate your dedication to not leaving your stories unfinished.

Yay! Good for you :yay:

Great work! I've got like...5 years of new stories that I'm trying to parse through and see what's interesting and throw it on a Read for Later list (either anything bigger than 20k words, or on the Featured list). Once I get caught up, I'll try to get through my tracking updates, too. Then I have my own stories that I haven't updated in 4+ years to finally get back to again...
