    Back here, for the last time maybe

    I didn't even know if this account even existed anymore, but at least I wanted to thank my subscribers, few as they are. If you guys are still around, I love you. Writing was a coping mechanism for me that slowly became a sort of job and it was thanks to you. I loved the show for what it was, despised the finale (sorry guys), but I loved the community for what it was. Once again, thank you for

    Hello from the other side

    Worry not, I'm not dead. Just sleeping. So, I heard just now the show is coming back in April and...I don't care about it. Yeah, Season Six while it had a few good episodes it kinda burned me out on the show. I'll keep writing (Something, maybe) but I don't think I will follow it. Many, many writers I follow are of the same sentiment and while I may hear something interesting happening in the

    I'm not saying Happy New Year...

    Because that means tempting fate and 2016 isn't over yet.

    *Taps on mic* Is this thing on?

    I'm not dead, guys. I'm just slumbering. Kinda like Cthulhu but prettier. I'm so absorbed by FFXV that I lsot track of time. Anyways, let us talk about things: First of all, two new fics coming. Yay! Second of all, working on my doctorate thesis! Double yay! Third of all, I've started a campaign to gather funds in my hometown for a shelter for LGBT people because, and don't worry I won't get

My opinion of the Season Finale [Possible Spoilers] · 6:11pm Feb 16th, 2013

So, the episode it's out, Twilicorn drama is still raging and little old me that, alas, was affected by it, has his little opinion.

Yes, Alicorn Twilight is very probably a blatant way to sell more toys.

Does it matter to our awesome writers?

Nope.

In my latest post I've mentioned that a writer has to evolve and adapt to new ideas, to bend the status quo to his will and make art from raw materials. And I guess there cannot be a better clay than a commercial based show for writers that in the years have excited us, moved us to tears and made us laugh our asses off. So, the simple fact that the writing team pulled off one of the best episodes, if not the Best Episode of Season Three is a monument to their skill and a way to prove for us, we few, the happy few, we band of fanfiction writers to evolve alongside the show that allowed us to express that art we held in our hearts.

They got the message of the show: Friendship is Magic. The bond between Twilight and her friends allowed for a true miracle to happen and strengthened itself beyond belief and the character of Twilight showed real growth, and I'm not talking just about the wings, of course. The leader and Inspiration of the Mane 6 is finally looked up from the rest of Equestria as well and there couldn't be a better ending.

And with season four on the way, we have a promise of further adventures.

Maybe I'm just saying old news, but I think what most people were pissed off about was the fact they believed Twilicorn to be a conceivable way to end the series for good. Probably the most difficult question for a writer to answer is what happen after the hero gets his kingdom (or in this case, princesshood)?

I have faith they will pull it off, just in the same way they made a cynic 24 years old with lots of issues and body hair a fan of pastel colored equines and loving it.

See ya!

P.S.

Why no Prince Blueblood?
