    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

Oh dear god I sincerely hope not.

I sincerely hope you read that story now just so you can realize how horrified your comment made me.

Okay, yeah. Now having read it, the above comment no longer seems a silly little facetious bit, but rather very callous.

I will be deleting it now.
Very, very sorry. :ajsleepy:

As an aside, what happened to the guy who beat the ever loving shit out of you?

Got off scott free.

No, no, don't delete the comment, I honestly laughed when I got over the initial shock, honest! Don't sweat that, mate, but can you imagine me thinking about Pinkie Pie in that position? Boggles my mind, laughing at the absurdity of it, and the weird thing is... It would have been strangely in character for her to act like I did too...

Holy fuck, I'm Pinkie Pie?!

Tanj.

I have been almost certain you are actually Pinkie Pie after the "Sweet Meet and Greet".
It was too perfect to be anything other than a retelling of a memory. :pinkiehappy:

But yeah, imagining Pinkie in a situation like that...:fluttercry: Any of them really. :ajsleepy:

This is probably a bit of a long time after the blog post to say this, but I liked Rules of Survival. It's proof that you can write horror as well as you can humour. I've never seen fear of the dark handled quite this way (i.e. with the transition), which I really like. The way the story is written gives just enough for you to know what to be afraid of, while still leaving it vague enough for your mind to make it worse.

About the autobiographical piece... Writing it in first person (even if the obvious choice) was a good call. It's easy to feel really there. I'm also sorry you had to suffer that, but if it made you who you are, perhaps it's not such a bad thing...
