100 followers?! · 4:28am Jan 3rd, 2013
So, funny story. The other day I was talking with Bronius Maximus about important things. Namely the overwhelming certainty that Mac/Dash is the OTP, and his story Starship Trooper, a Starfox/MLP crossover that you should totally read. I hear that a certain tall, pale Special Agent agent will be making an appearance there shortly...
Anywho, we were talking via PM, and he said this:
"Oh, by the way, congrats on 100 followers!"
I, of course, responded in kind:
"... what the mother fuck?"
I went to check, and sure enough the user xont was officially the 100th misguided soul to click the stalk follow button.
Okay, fair warning, I'm about to get sappy.
I, uh... um... wow. For real, y'all. I don't know what to say. I mean, favoriting my story is one thing. That says you liked the story. Following me? That says that not only did you like my story, you liked my style, my personality. To the point where you want to know as soon as I post anything in the future.
Look, y'all. If you've read my blogs before, you've probably noticed that I have issues with anxiety, self-confidence, and a tendency to be emo every now and then. You may be asking yourself how I can be a Drill Sergeant with these problems. Honestly? I have no fucking idea, I just... don't have those issues with my job. Hmm... Anyway, but yeah. I have about the lowest opinion of my talents as a writer, much to the never ending aggravation of Guesswork, who I'm pretty sure is getting damn tired of hearing me bitch about being a hack author.
So, please know how much it means to me that you care enough to follow, or comment, or like, of favorite. While I still would love to someday make the feature box, which most likely won't ever happen because I don't write clop or Halo crossovers, it really doesn't bother me, because I know I have at least a hundred poor souls fooled into thinking that I know what I'm doing.
All right, enough of that emo shite! I know what you came here for. HARDCORE NUDITY!!
Ooh, look how naked they are!! Such little hussies...
Now that that is over with, how about a list of my current projects?
1. The Conversion Bureau: Last of My Kind- Meet David Savoy, the last human left on Earth, and a man with a message for the universe.
Completion- 75%
This little thing started as an experiment. I wanted to see if I could sit down and write something coherent off the top of my head in one sitting. Two hours later, I got this. Silly little thing, really. It's written, just awaiting pre-reader destruction approval.
2. A Diamond In the Ruff (part of the UALS universe)- Through the wonders of ley line dating, Rarity meets the pony of her dreams. Too bad he's not a pony...
Completion- 20%
Something I don't think I've ever seen outside of badly written clop: Rarity/Diamond Dog. I have it planned out, have the first portion written, just hitting some roadblocks... namely I can't get it out of my friggin' head.
3. The Flame of Youth (part of the UALS universe)- Spike struggles to adapt to his new size.
Completion- 30%
In case you can't tell, I love Spike. I think he is the most interesting character on the show, and he has the most dramatic potential, being a dragon amongst ponies. I want to explore how he can live his life now that he can't do any of the things he used to enjoy.
And, of course, what none of you all care about...
4. Eye of The Beholder (Book two of "The Bentgrass Trilogy)- Bentgrass, along with his new partner Trixie and a Manehatten detective, track down a serial killer.
Completion- 10%
I've finished the character bios, and I have a good chunk of the plot hammered out. I have all the major scenes planned, now I just need to link them together. Guesswork, Piquo Pie, Golden Vision, expect emails in the next week or so begging for help asking for advice.
So... yeah. I fucking love you all. Here, have a picture of the OTFP (One True Foal Pairing)
Eeyup, I went there. Till next time, stay safe, stay free, and stay metal! Jake The Army Guy out!
Spikebelle?
Really? That's what you're going with?
Congrats bro. Now don't let the fame go to your head.
Well don't forget us little people now. I seem to remember asking you for writing advice.
I stand by the comment i left for you on "under a luminous sky". You wrote a damn good mystery story and would love to see your writing outside of the MLP universe.
Also... Emo drill sergeant... Oh the paradoxical mental imagry.
You deserve it, and anyway UALS was much better than half of what gets featured.
Congratulations on the century, man!
674398 Indeed. I'm all "Show me your woe-face!"
Indeed, Mac and Dash are of the utmost importance. Much like how the scourge of communism swept across eastern europe at the turn of the 20th century, the MacXDash revolution will sweep across the Brony state, swallowing lesser pairings until it unites the fandom beneath a red and prismatic banner.
Also, congrats again on your 100! I look forward to your continuation of the AULS series.
Congratulations, good sir! And very well-earned.
Mwah.
Grats on hitting the century mark, Sarge! Well-earned, I'm sure. (And have a bit more confidence in your writing ability, wouldja?! Or I'll send 1SG Fluttershy over to square you away.
)
Conversion Bureau, huh? I haven't seen many of those that weren't either misanthropic or revenge-fics. I'm interested to see what you've got in store for us.
