Oh hey, there's a blog function!
Ahem.
In any case, it's late, and yet I don't feel like going to sleep...and yet I don't feel like working on much of anything. Though I must admit it feels rather nice to get my fingers typing away at the keyboards, but I digress. It's nice to have a blog function- especially for a PONY specific blog, as that way I don't run the risk of letting people I actually know I sometimes write stories about magical princess unicorns. That's right, I'm a closeted brony. Not to mention I'm pretty sure my many non-MLP-watching friends could care less about the stuff I write.
Also I noticed Blueshift has steady blog entries and dammit if he's not BETTER AT PONY than I am so I now will be the only person on the planet who wants to be like Blueshift (but only in a pony based context).
Regardless, I'd like to thank the lot of you for reading and commenting on my various silly stories- I really do like the input, and even better, I like to know when I make people laugh at said silly stories! If I'm feeling ambitious, I may even use this blog function to post various thoughts on various stories I've written. Sort of a 'DVD Commentary,' almost- though I hope it wouldn't take TOO much out of the mystery of, uh, stuff. Or something.
Or, heck, I might as well ask the few theoretical people who're reading this- what would YOU like to see in the Tumbleblog?
...yeah, going to need a better name for it.
Well the only people who see your blog are the people who watch you. The only reason you get watched is because of your stories. So you should probably blog on fic related topics.
Fo4r instance: What the hell was wrong with you when you wrote Friendship (With Benefits) is Magic, and why that made it onto EqD but Friendship is More Than Meets the Eye didn't. Also will the new Captain Cloudsdale, the 4 mare Do Wells and Armor Dash form their own super-team? Will there be an orgy? Will Dash feel left out?
Blogweed?
Most blogs on FIM are just places for authors to discuss update schedules, ask polls about how story lines should go and show fan art and such of their stories. Really you can use it for whatever you want I know at least I will be reading all of them seeing as how I have already read all of your stories on here. I have not gone through all of your fanfic.net stories yet mostly because I do not know anything about guilty gear.

Well, I don't have any plans for Four Color anytime soon, but if I think of something, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back to him. I'm pretty sure there won't be an orgy, however. Sorry to disappoint, but that's not quite my style.
As for 'Friendship (With Benefits) is Magic,' that really spun off of those last two lines of 'What do You Do With a Drunken Unicorn?' I'd originally envisioned Celestia & Luna making snarky commentary at the end of ALL my stories, a-la Statler & Waldorf, but that didn't quite mesh.
Really, when I started writing Ponyfic, I basically thought about it along the lines of 'How badwrong can I make these situations, and yet still keep the magical ponies in character?' Because, well, ponies doing things you'd never see on the show is funny. I've moved past that a little bit, however, as it's a fun challenge to write a show-ish fic as well. I've got some ideas for another farce-like story a-la 'Vengeance and Fashion,' but I haven't started working on it yet. And I've got a follow-up to 'Twilight Sparkle vs. Bridle-Zilla' sorta written, too. So, y'know. More hijinks, less clop.
As for 'Friendship is More than Meets the Eye,' it's ALMOST ready for ED. They've gotten a little more stringent on their entry requirements, and they actually brought up some really good points regarding editing and such. One of my weaknesses as a writer is my somewhat...loose methods of punctuation. Though really, if I take an afternoon sometime to tune the story up, I'm sure it'll be ready for ED!

Hah. My non-pony stuff on FF.net is OOOOOOOOLD. I make no promises about its quality. They're not terrible, mind you, but I hope I've improved as a writer, just a little bit, since then! Regardless, Guilty Gear's a fun series of fighting games with a ridiculous amount of backstory to it...that in turn isn't used much in the game. Lots of potential there, I guess. Not to mention the game has a kick-ass soundtrack. Check it out sometime!

Cool. Oh and the orgy comment wasn't serious. Just an in joke to the fact that Four Color had a crush on Mare-Do -Well, not realizing she was four ponies, so if he ever acted on his feelings he would end up with four marefriends (and Dash would be chopped liver despite the fact she was the only one who took the superhero schtick (they're ALL heroes of course) seriously. Also I was on pain meds for my toothache so my sanity rating was not high (even though I might have been).

Oh! Okay. Considering I've gotten a lot of comments on various stories saying 'Hey, why isn't this clopfic?' you never can be too sure. FiMFiction's got a rowdy crowd!

Understandable.
I myself have no real bias against clop, but I do think some are a little too enamored with the amorous...
Oh and to all those who try to pressure into doing clop, give em this for me:
