The obligatory merry post

I am merry.

Swag!

I did a review for Xenophilia because I was a little bored (on christmas, go figure). I tried to be fair, but I am terribly biased.

Also, I just made myself cry tears of happy writing the latest chapter of Guiding Light (which is about Princess Derpy, if you weren't aware). She ain't as klutzy as she looks... but now I worry that I've made her too wonderfully perfect. On the other hand, Dinky is adorable. Of course, that's not going to be published until much later, because it's not finished and needs pre-reading. It's entering its next phase though, from a single arc establishing Derpy's reign to a set of vignettes and bouncing back and forth as I come up with ideas for things.

For obvious reasons the Star Sparkle story isn't up yet. Give it a few more days. :D

Aaaand... merry, I am, because I've polished off almost a quarter of a bottle of whisky in the last hour. Expensive whisky, not the cheap rotgut most people think of, but the real deal. It helps me write, especially here in the most inspiring country in the world: Sweden. I've written another 2000 words on Star, for instance, in the last two days. I think that's quite good, don't you? Not a pace I can keep up for long, though.

Have yourselves a very merry christmas. God jul och ett gott nytt år!

[Happy Thoughts]

There is one point in your review I don't agree with: Xenophilia is NOT an anthropology porn. It's much more than that. I would say, it's closer to anthropology erotica. For me, there is a huge difference between those two. Let me quote SecondTalon:

Erotica is a fine set of jeweler's tools, to carefully cut and divide. Fine, delicate work that takes skill.
Pornography is a sledgehammer, to shatter as quickly as possible. Pretty much anyone can do it.

Other than that - I think you've nailed it!
