    Cadance of Cloudsdale (so far) now in Spanish!

    Thanks to the generous SPANIARD KIWI, the text of Cadance of Cloudsdale so far is now in Spanish! Mr. Kiwi has done a tremendous amount of work translating many of my stories into Spanish, but this goes above and beyond. If you're curious, you may visit the project so far here at this

    Happy Cadance Day 2024!

    Things feel a bit subdued today, due to the coincidence of Valentine's Day and Ash Wednesday through a quirk of the liturgical calendar. It is somewhat difficult to juxtapose the splash of corporate-encouraged love with the festival that literally exists to remind us of our mortality. The pink of Valentine's washes against the purple of Lent. So I'm in a pensive mood, more so than usual on this

    Ciderfest is a wrap!

    Just got home from PVCF and it was an amazing con experience! The minific-based ARG that circulated around the con the whole weekend was high-concept, and I was worried about engagement, but everyone seemed to really get into searching out the hard-to-find stories concealed around the convention hall (in places as obscure as "the desktop wallpaper on one of the monitors in the video game room,

Best Twiluna Song Evar · 12:49am Apr 10th, 2012

...courtesy of the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra, circa 1935...

It's dark on observatory hill;
Come on, let's pretend we're Jack and Jill.
We'll stroll to the hilltop where college sweethearts go
And look at the lights on the campus down below.

We'll learn what astronomy is for,
We'll learn what the stars can have in store;
We'll know in advance the moon may mean romance
When it's dark on observatory hill.

(Bridge:)
And I'd like to recite you a poem that I wrote;
It tells why I think you're wonderful.
Then from afar we can hear a sweet guitar
While voices are harmonizing.

We don't have to know arithmetic
To figure why you and I would click;
My heart tells me this: your lips were meant to kiss
When it's dark on observatory hill.

Yes, it's old-fashioned. SO ARE THEY.

It's always fun finding stuff tlike that that's tangentally relevant and personally meaningfull.

Yeah, that does fit them almost perfectly. Especially from Twilight's perspective!

Thanks for the link! The Lettermen have a distractingly 60's power-scrubbed sound, don't they? For maximum Twiluna, I use the Dorsey Brothers, which has a wonderful "coming out of the bell of a universe-typical Gramophone" vibe to it. (iTunes preview to see what I mean.) :twilightsmile:
