Scramblers and Shadows


Politicians prey on the vulnerable, the disadvantaged and those with an infantile sense of pride in a romanticised national identity which was fabricated by a small to mid-sized advertising agency.

    Cold Light is complete

    .... and I'm two days late in announcing it, because my life is hectic and not very fimficcy nowadays.

    Still, I want to make a note of this. I started Cold Light to see if I could actually write a genuine fantasy novel. Three bloody years, it took, but I did it. I finished it, and it's one of the three stories on here that I'm actually halfway proud of.

    Why I'd rather write something pretentious than something good

    Okay, I'll own up. That's a deliberately confrontational clickbait-y title. I couldn't help myself.

    Five ways to improve Equestria Girls: Friendship Games

    Friendship Games is a middling sort of installment. Better than Equestria Girls, worse than Rainbow Rocks – but given the latter was so great, and the former so abysmal, that's no real surprise. How did it fare on its own terms? Again, middling: Better than it might've been, but still not quite as good as it could've been.

    What is the value of fiction?

    It's characteristic of fiction writers that we tend to be good at bullshitting. Something of a necessary skill, really. And it's characteristic of everyone that we tend to be pretty bad at judging our own importance without some self-aggrandisement.

    An important anniversary

    (With any luck, this is about political as you'll ever see me get on here.)

    And coming up next: Talking about the value of stories. Or another go at criticising critics. We'll see.

Robin Hood morality and a sad cat's sex optimism · 12:40am Sep 15th, 2013

There are two interesting things I want to show off!

First is the Robin Hood Morality Test. For a professed amoralist, I'm pretty interested in morality and its variations, so this was a great find. It's very quick to do, so give it a shot. And it would be totally badass if you were to tell me your decision. (The psychological analyses aren't so hot, mind. They're pretty clearly slanted. Still, worth a read.)


Second, Achewood is getting back on track! I love Achewood, so this pleases me no end. Watch out, by the way, it's pretty NSFW.

...Now I'm toying with the idea of doing an Achewood/FIM crossover.


PS. I promise I'll have some better content up soon. I've been meaning to write a new craft blog about characterisation. I just need to stop being such a lazy git.

Little John, Maid Marion, The Sheriff, and Robin Hood.

Interpretation was:

You are the slightly romantic realist. You respect truth, and are broadminded and flexible. Whether you are a man or a woman you are probably a happy person. You like people and they can readily make friends with you. You are not very adventurous, but this does not bother you.

I consider that mostly accurate, except I don't really like people on the whole.
