    Something in the works? Maybe?

    A thestral, a siren, a zebra, a dragon, a changeling, a kirin, three unicorns, three pegasi, three earth ponies, and three alicorns all walk into a bar.

    They then get kicked out because that's way too many characters with "primary/secondary protagonist" billing for one story.

    [Snippet] The Ponyville Numbers Station

    Sunset Shimmer set about unpacking her things. Though still reluctant toward the idea of staying in Ponyville long-term, she was at least going to make sure she was comfortable here during her visit. After a solid couple hours of work, the previously-bland master bedroom had been transformed into something far more cozy. The bed was made, her spellbooks and theory texts placed snugly on a

Whining Is Magic · 11:43pm Feb 18th, 2014

I'm going to whine now.

Sometimes, when I get notifications that someone favorited Keep On Trying, I find myself opening the story page, and staring very hard at the "delete" button. I never click it, but the temptation is strong, some days. And I won't lie; there's an egotistical part of me that finds it somewhat frustrating that this is the first and only of my stories that has a Tvtropes page.

On some other days, I feel differently. I want to attempt to revive Student Court, and catch back up with the Lunaverse and generally get involved again. Problem there is that I soon realize I have no time, and too many other projects besides.

I often feel guilty/frustrated over the long wait between updates on my stories, and feel especially guilty when I spend time that could go to those on a more... secretive project of mine. Unfortunately, though, that other project is going just too smoothly for me to stop, and when I make a conscious effort to work on OR or TAS, the results are either crappy or negligible or both.

If you couldn't tell, I'm in a fantastic mood right now. :applejackunsure:

But I can somehow find the time to write up a self-indulgent, whiny, and generally obnoxious blog post. :ajbemused:

But of course. With great talent come great paperwork.

Yeah, I can sympathize with most of that.

I really do hope you don't ever delete Keep On Trying though. Think I'll need to download a copy to keep for myself just incase (and possibly preserve for the posterity of the setting as well).

1850051 great idea. For just in case. but really I don't think you should delete it, but then again its your story and your choice.

wow after clicking it I noticed I have never favd it. Well I guess the last time I read it was way back in the day while I was into Lunaverse. I really want to get back into it too. I still just have so much other stuff to read.

1850021 ?

1850051 1851301 I don't think I ever really will, but the temptation certainly is strong at times. I guess it wouldn't hurt to do that, just in case I have a really bad day and take leave of my senses.
