    Soon!

    I think I've used that blog title three or four times now.

    Anyway! New chapter of Spectacular Seven is almost done! I was hoping it would be done this week so I could post it on Saturday, but I need to rewrite a scene. And that's before I edit it! And before Drakey edits it! The good news is...

    Ten Years, Still Here

    I think back to my nascent days here, reading stories and typing out my own, hoping for the day where I could call myself a veteran of the fandom. My stories would be remembered and I would stand alongside authors like Pen stroke and Aragon.

    And I look where I am now and go, ‘well, you got one big hit. Good enough.’

    Thank You

    I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the GoFundMe or spread the word for it. It really means a lot. Thanks to your donations and getting a little more on my first paycheck than I thought I would, I should be able to stay afloat again.

    My Turn to Ask for Help

    Hello friends.

    I'm trying to raise money for me and Amber Spark after we suffered an accident with a U-Haul truck. The link to the GoFundMe page is here.

Forced Hiatus and Other Matters. · 11:05am Dec 23rd, 2013

Well, I finished my finals! Hooray! So excited to get back to writing!

Well...

Funny story. See, I was packing up my dorm because I decided to transfer to another school (long story, irrelevant) so my sister came over to help me move out. While I went down to get a dolly, My sister finished packing things up... and she packed the charger for my laptop. I didn't notice until we got home... after we put the boxes in storage. As I'm writing this, I have like, 20% battery life left. When this dies, I'll only have access to Fimfic via my Vita. Not ideal for writing, and I work in Google Docs anyway. So, until I can go back to the storage unit, I kinda can't write. But, I suppose this is kinda a good thing for me, as I can just relax and spend time with family. And then ignore them by playing old video games.

I will definitely have my charger back by Saturday, then I'll pretty much be writing non-stop. But maybe I need this little break anyway. I've been a little stuck in some of my ideas.

Anyway, before I go, I thought I'd just share some thoughts about the new episode and the site.

First: Power Ponies. I won't be doing an episode review this week, so I'll just get to the nitty-gritty.

It was... alright.

By no means was it bad. It just wasn't... I'm not sure really. It had a pretty good message. I like it when Spike isn't shut out to the sidelines, so the fact that they addressed this is good. The episode was innovative and whimsical. The villain was pretty awesome. I just don't know what it was, but I just didn't get a 'great' episode feeling from it. And Flutterhulk was... meh. Just... meh.
7.5/10

The user page update. I'm going to do something rare and agree with those who complain about it. It.... kinda sucks. I mean really. Knighty, why? It wasn't broken, it was fine, everything was fine. Now it's... meh. I'll fix it more later.

I'd say more, but I'm starting to push my limits. So, I'll just say have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday. Hopefully, I'll see you before the New Year.

Aww. Well. I will find other means of contacting you and harassing you instead of Skype. Maybe I should edit Long Road to Friendship while your gone.

Naw. Probably not. After Christmas, maybe.

1638982 Oh yes, about that. Cerulean Voice has edited all the chapters LRtF.... sooooo, you're off the hook for that one. Unless you really want to.

>implying he got all the errors

I'll be the judge of that.

>Implying I/Albino thinks I'm perfect
You should totally go over everything as well. I'm mostly just a grammar tecchy, but you may have experience in other areas. I don't think I missed anything, but you never know.

1638983
Is Skype still an option?

If you need the papers for disowning your sister I can hook you up. I kid, I kid, but seriously enjoy your break.

I at first hated the user page update, but I'm getting used to it. HATE the new groups module, though.

Just about everyone so far has said the same thing about Power Ponies: Not bad but also not good; just... meh! It's sort of like unseasoned porridge oats - edible but completely bland and pointless.

Merry Christmas to you too! Looking forward to your stories! :raritystarry::raritystarry:

1639003 nope. my Vita doesnt want to download skype. :ajbemused:

I got confused during the packing part.....explain?:pinkiehappy:

1640015 my sister packed my laptop charger awayy when i wasnt looking and we put the box in storage before i realized soooo my laptop is dead

If you are not Jesus Christ, you cannot be an editor.

Wait . . .

I usually go over things if they were done by someone else anyway. It's just what I do.

Go enjoy yourself Alby, it's not like we are going anywhere. Happy Hearts and Hooves 'n all dat staph. :twilightsmile:
