    Right... Now what?

    Some among those of you who, for reasons unfathomable to me, have chosen to pay attention to my profile and my stories will have noticed that Binky Pie has, after five years, finally been set to 'Complete'.

    Just a short word.

    Excuse me while I blow the dust off the account.

    Today, the renowned author Sir Terry Pratchett died, aged 66. I wish to mention this because, as my dogged/devoted readers of Binky Pie will know, I enjoyed his works and am saddened at his passing.

    Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

    ... As of writing this it has been well over a year since I last wrote a chapter of Binky Pie, and, to my further shame, over three years since I started it! I'm sorry I never got around to finishing it. It's been a constant nagging presence in the back of my head for so long I sort of got used to ignoring it, and life has a way of getting... in the way, as it were.

    By Way of Explanation...

    ... As to why I've been rather quiet and why you should care (spoiler: you shouldn't). In short, last year of degree, last term was more hellish on writing time than I thought it would be, and this last term is exams, exams, exams. Once all that's out of the way (16th May), I can dedicate myself to writing more and finishing Binky Pie, which I believe just turned two years old.

    The Pony of the Opera - Complete

    I've finally finished Pony of the Opera, for which I am thankful. I started writing that around July last year, so it's good to finally have it done. To tell the truth, before beginning it, all I had done was watch the film adaptation of Lloyd Webber's musical about ten times. I had no familiarity with the book or any other version of the story, although I had visited the

We all understand how real life and writing time aren't always the best of friends, but we all wish you the best of luck with your exams!

TDR

Not a problem. We'll wait. Though don't feel too old SiS is getting to that point as well and End of ponies is older by far and still not complete.

Do not be concerned. More Binky Pie is worth waiting for. :pinkiesmile:

I know the feeling wholeheartedly. Although in my case, it's a forklift upgrade of Oracle 10g -> 11g along with becoming the de-facto maintainer for liferay, tomcat app farms, and image processing servers.

This is about a year and a half old already. I need to get cracking.

Soooo tempted to do a short story based on this where War, Pesilence, and Famine are sitting on their horses, waiting on Death (who is writing his fic).
