    An Apology

    I doubt many people will read this, considering the broken promises that are The Curse of the Wolf Pony and One Honest Mare unfinished, but I owe you folks who are still paying attention an apology.

    New Curse Chapter

    Hey Folks,

    Sorry for the 5 month wait for a new chapter. I was working on another project and finding a job. It looks like I've found one, which is nice, and the project (a tabletop RPG ruleset) is at the point where I don't need to devote a significant portion of my time to move it along. So, it looks like I'll have much more time for writing in the future.

    New Story, Sorry OHM Isn't Updating

    Hey guys! I've submitted a new story, which should be up soon, and those of you who are wanting One Honest Mare updates are probably wondering why I'm working on something other than it. Thing is, it's really pissing me off. At the moment, I could make it a great action story. There's nothing wrong with that, because that's pretty much where I am at the moment as a writer. Problem is,

    I'm Back!

    Hey Folks,

    Some of you may have noticed that One Honest Mare has been updated, kind of. I moved the two chapters so far into one short story. This chapter will be followed by another short story from Spike's perspective. Has anyone read Casual Vacancy? That's kind of what I'll be going for here: a series of connected, but independent stories telling a larger, over-all story.

    Hiatus: Indefinite

    Long story short, I don't have the time I want to be able to devote to these stories. My life is kind of in limbo at the moment, and I'm spending all of my time at my desk, preparing a portfolio to use as a freelance writer. I'm either working on articles or original fictional content. If I'm not writing, I'm looking for a regular job. If I don't find one this month, I'm probably moving back in

Help Me Name a Radio DJ? · 12:22am Mar 18th, 2013

Hey folks, it's me again. Would you care to help me name a character?

He's a radio dj in the city of Canterlot, and heavily influenced by Three Dog from Fallout 3 (I'm a huge Fallout fanboy). His main schtick is fighting the good fight, making sure people know about the corruption in the town and exposing individuals like Shine or the more corrupt police officers. Needless to say, he's on a number of gangsters' hit lists, but his support from the general populace of the city makes it questionable whether he's worth killing.

He's a pegasus, and in terms of attitude, he's a bit similar to Rainbow Dash. He's got her confidence and swagger, but he's much more level headed. This can be inferred by the fact that he's still alive and doing what he's doing. He's also a bit of a ladies' man, and will serve as a foil to Applejack, because this is Noire: sexual tension is mandatory. The only thing is, I have no idea what to name him. His cutie mark is three ponies (*cough* Three Dog *cough*), one of each tribe, signifying his ability to unify disparate individuals for a common goal. I'd tell you more about him (such as how he's different from Three Dog so it's apparent that I didn't just ponify that awesome DJ), but I don't want to ruin it when he's introduced.

How about Hot Mic?

In the radio business, that's what it's called when you have your mic turned on when it's not supposed to be, IE everyone in the audience is hearing things that some would wish them not hear.

927938 Wow, that is good, thank you. I'll be interested to see if anyone can top that. If you keep this up, I'll have to credit you at the beginning of the story, such as the following manner:

"Note: Something like half the named ponies and items in this story are courtesy of Jake the Army Guy's creative genius. Go read his stories."

927961 :pinkiegasp: *clutches chest* Damn, those freckles nearly did me in!

I was gonna suggest something, but Hot Mic is awesome, and can be used for any innuendo that my suggestions would have had.

928091 This is wonderfully, wonderfully true :rainbowlaugh:
