    Lifes DM to you that you're a psycho

    So on October 28th I suffered a stroke while at work. In denial, I stayed at work, then drove 60+ miles from Orlando to my home in Lakeland. I stayed in denial (it's just a pinched nerve) right up to the point where I lost control of my bladder and the right side of my face went numb. By that point there wasn't anything they could do to mitigate the damage. You have 4 hours people. I didn't

    You'll Get It When It's Ready, But I'm Not Dead Yet. Also Sneak Peak

    See title. Work is work, and not a lot of time to write. I'm still around, I'm just as tired of answering the when is the next chapter coming out question as you are of asking them. I know it's shitty, I know I've let it sit too long, but it is what it is. This is why I don't accept donations for fanfiction. It remains a hobby, and thus very low on the to do list of my wellbeing.

    Update 2: Beta Editing Received, Performing Hard Edit, Finishing and Adding Omake

    I've received preliminary 2nd draft copy from a beta reader. I'm currently performing my first hard read out loud edit of the whole mess. Initial reports are about what I expected. Part of the difficulty of writing this chapter is that it was always going to be a set up, explanatory type chapter. Making it interesting is a serious challenge, but I felt as though if I DIDN'T show the

    New Chapter of Quantum Castaways, Rough Draft Completed, Sent to Prereaders for first Editing Pass

    Hey folks. Just a quick message to anyone who still cares, I have tentatively finished the rough draft for a new chapter of Quantum Castaways. Current draft weighs in at right around 12000 words, and that WILL change as the editing process moves along. Bear in mind that it has been a long, hard road to get this material out. It is a Frankenstein nightmare of bits and pieces jumbled together

    Ethics of Fanfiction

    So as everyone who pays any attention to the comments and blog posts and what have you knows, I've been having a really rough time of it. This last year has, frankly, been hell. I've had a couple of people offer to donate money, for which I am extremely grateful, but it actually brings up a topic of some interest to me.

The Kinda Shit That We Brainstorm About On Skype · 4:24pm Jul 20th, 2013

[12:13:51 PM] DustTraveller:
Essay question on a college entrance exam: "If you could choose to be raised by robots, dinosaurs, or aliens, who would you pick? Why?"

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought was... but what if I want to be raised by an alien robot dinosaur?

Like... "Me Grimlock raise you well!"
[12:14:29 PM] Karazor: Hahahahaha
[12:14:45 PM] Karazor: Man, Grimlock would be an awesome foster parent.
[12:14:51 PM] DustTraveller: Right?
[12:15:07 PM] DustTraveller: Bring your dad to work day would be the best day ever.
[12:15:16 PM] DustTraveller: Or school I mean.
[12:15:41 PM] Karazor: Next step down is alien robots. "Observation: you seem to have learned blaster handling well, meatbag child. Foreshadowing:the next step will be planting mines."
[12:15:41 PM] DustTraveller: Also I would automatically win the, "My dad could beat up your dad..." argument.
[12:15:50 PM] DustTraveller: lol
[12:15:52 PM] DustTraveller: Awesome.
[12:16:16 PM] DustTraveller: There's a story in there. HK as a parent... could he raise a well adjusted child?
[12:16:23 PM] DustTraveller: Oh... MLP Crossover. Could he raise the CMC?
[12:16:36 PM] Karazor: Hahahahaha he'd probably kill himself.
[12:16:36 PM] DustTraveller: I would totally write that story.
[12:16:51 PM] Karazor: Assuming he was prevented from killing them in some way.
[12:17:38 PM] Karazor: I loved that character, though. He was always in my party even though he was seriously suboptimal in combat, which is about my highest compliment to an NPC ever.
[12:18:16 PM] DustTraveller: "Dad, do you think I'm pretty?"

"Observation: No Sweetie Belle, I find all meatbags to be disgusting sacks of protoplasmic goo. However, this unit also observes that you are on the far side of a bell curve describing less disgusting than the average."
[12:18:44 PM] DustTraveller: "Cutie Mark Crusader Assassins! Yay!"
[12:19:02 PM] Karazor: Reassurance: I am certain your peers find you pretty, disgusting horned meatbag.
[12:19:06 PM] DustTraveller: lol
[12:19:11 PM] DustTraveller: See? It writes itself.
[12:19:23 PM] Karazor: HK is best droid.
[12:19:29 PM] DustTraveller: Absolutely.

This conversation brought to you by who fucking knows? Still, it was amusing, so I decided to share it.

I'm impressed/saddened you didn't bring up honey badgers.

I giggled way to much at this. :rainbowlaugh:

Yep. Typical discussion for our group. :eeyup:

1222482
This one seems a bit more thoughtful than most though... :unsuresweetie:

1222500

Yeah, and no one is insulting Invictus either...:applejackunsure:

I suggest a certain specy of aliens who turns out to be ponies living in Equestria. :eeyup:

1222506
Damn, that is strange... :twilightoops:

1222469
Don't feel bad. Honey badgers come up every so often. :twilightsmile:

TMH

HK winds up in Celestia's room as nothing more than a brain and a vocabulator.

Carry On

Men of science, you are.:rainbowwild:

1222469 Well, if you follow our research on the subject, and I have every reason to believe that you have, you would know that we decided on a hiatus, due to the sheer pants shitting terror involved in contemplating the awful nature of the beast in question. Even now it hunts me and my comrade scientists through the Angles of Time. A remorse doom engine of hate, spite, in a package that appears only slightly larger than a breadbox, but that can no more be escaped than the gravitational pull of a black hole.:pinkiecrazy:
