    Looking Back: The Conversion Bureau

    Until the other day, I hadn't thought about The Conversion Bureau in years. Hell, I'd barely thought about this site in years. I think that's exactly what makes now a good time to look back at it: any emotions I had about it have had a long time to cool, and so I can examine it with a critical eye and the benefit of hindsight. I'm going to avoid mentioning the names of specific works or

    One last story to tell

    I know I said earlier that I had no plans to write anything else relating to Body And Mind. However, now that I've thought about it, there's one last chapter I want to write.

    Why we write changelings the way we do

    Fanfic authors have a good amount of leeway in how they write changelings without going against canon -- at least, as far as the show's concerned. I haven't really read the comics. They invaded Canterlot, they got blown away by magical love beams, and they weren't mentioned again. Whatever authors decide to go with, they have their reasons, and since I know many of my readers have their own

    Sorry, no sequel planned

    I've already had multiple people ask me this, so rather than try to address every single comment individually, I felt it best to make this a blog post.

Where the hell has Starman Ghost been? · 2:14am Jan 10th, 2014

I'm sure it hasn't escaped people's notice that the most recent chapter of Body And Mind has had the longest delay of any since I first put up the story.

It's been a number of factors, mostly writer's block (this chapter has proven difficult) combined with the stress put on me by working full-time while also being in a graduate-level college course. Then Christmas came and I had to forcibly pry myself away from Civilization V: Brave New World to eat and sleep. I've adjusted to my new schedule, though, and I'm now reliably putting out about 300 words a day. I hope to have the new chapter out by the end of the month.

Thanks to everyone for your patience!

First, that picture is absolutely adorable. :heart:

Second, it is good to hear the next chapter is coming even if it will be a while yet.

As long as Body And Mind isn't dead, I'm happy.:ajsmug:

For a moment, I thought the picture was a changeling with a pegleg.

Anyway, I agree with 1701010; I don't mind delays all that much, as long as it's not dead and we'll get the rest eventually :scootangel:

Haha, the dread attempts of Just one more turn. Especially trying to get good. It's so tough to put it down. But I hope school goes well! Though glad that work and school hasn't killed the muse. Thank you for the update.

Sorry, but 300 words a day? That is a tad slow...

With my fic, I have been trying to get new chapters every day, with at least 1200 words, only takes about an hour or two to write that much, then some minor proofreading and stuff.
