HamGravy


Author of the Tarnished Silver series. I write clopfics with too many emotions in them. My work is very niche, but my readers are a wonderfully enthusiastic bunch, so I must be doing something right?

    Suddenly!

    ...anyone still here?


    Hi, everybody. I doubt anyone else has even noticed, nor would I expect them to, but ten years ago today, I uploaded a weird little clop story called Tarnished Silver to this site.

    Tarnished Silver: The Audiobook (Plus: foreign language editions, and a teaser for something new!)

    FACT: In our busy modern world of smartphones and red pandas, few of us have time to sit down and read books, let alone morally questionable horse fanfiction. Thus we have seen the meteoric rise of the audiobook, which allows people to take in a story while doing something else, like flying a jet between two narrow canyons under heavy enemy fire, or jogging. But until now, there's been no

    "Baby Steps"

    Those two words in yesterday's episode managed to completely redefine the episode, and possibly the character of Fluttershy, for me. I think they might be the two most important words she's ever spoken. Here's why.

    A new story is coming tomorrow!

    Why yes, I am a shameless whore , thank you for noticing.

    Tomorrow afternoon (that's Friday CST, people of the world) the internet will be forced to endure another entry in the Tarnished Silver canon. It's a one-shot, but I'm actually quite pleased with it, which is something I don't usually say about my own writing.

Oh great, a blog post. That lazy jerk Hamgravy is probably going to delay chapter 26 until Friday. (Yes, I am. PLUS: You get an extra chapter!) · 9:02am May 2nd, 2013

It's true, I got strongarmed into taking on all sorts of extra work this week, so chapter 26 is going to have to wait until Friday to get posted. But hey, at least it's not a two-week delay like last time. Remember that shit? Bleh.

All the remaining chapters now exist as fetal rough drafts, but they'll require hours of loving care and rewrites before they're ready to be posted. But the more I refine things, the more I realize that there's just too much story here to wrap up in just three more chapters, unless I want to make those chapters really bloated and indistinct.

So, guess what? Remember when I said A Silver Sky would end at Chapter 28? I LIED.

THE FINAL CHAPTER WILL BE CHAPTER 29. YEP, YOU ALL GET AN EXTRA WEEK OF THIS SILLINESS.

And this time I can confidently say that this chapter count will not change, as (very rough) drafts of all remaining chapters now exist.

"Ugh! What is WITH this Ham guy? First he says Thursday updates but keeps pushing them to Fridays, then he says this story is going to end on chapter 28 but now it's chapter 29! At this rate it's going to end on chapter 512, and it'll be published on Christmas after he promises an update on Halloween!"

"You know, this is the guy who wrote a story where you get brutally molested and then your best friend falls in love with your rapist. Why aren't you mad about THAT? In fact, why are you upset about having to wait for updates at all?"

"S...shut up! Stupid clopfic! It's not like I like you or anything..."

Isn't calling it a rough draft kinda redundant for this story?

It's not like anything in it has ever been gentle.
