I do nothing of merit. On occasion, I give the impression of being creative, but this is a deception. I am merely derivative in clever ways.

    Dropping in to try and find some art

    So my hard drive bricked back in the fall, and I finally replaced my computer with the stimulus money. But I don't really have a good way to try and recover the stuff that was on there, so that sucks.

    But, I was hoping for some help in finding one particular bit of pony art that I haven't been able to dig up again since then.

    a brief summary of my life the past few months

    June 17: I wreck my car.
    July 5: My cousin I grew up with dies after an extended illness.
    July 26: Neighbors threaten to sue us over payment for repairs they did on a shared driveway, wind up paying them over $1,000.
    August 15: Dropped my phone and busted the screen.

    Welp, that's just... everything fucked, I guess

    So back around June 20, I wrecked my car.

    Then back on August 28, the tires on my wife's car got torn up hitting something on the road, and we wound up needing all new tires.

    I don't think my cat likes my work

    So it's been a struggle to write anything, for various reasons, but I *was* trying to get back onto Legacy Ch 4 not long ago.

    Then today I was sitting at the table and started hearing faint tearing noises from behind me. I turned around and discovered that somehow my rough draft had wound up on the floor and the cat had done this:

    Random Encounter

    This was a fun moment. Choppy cause I had to remove a bunch of game speech commands and the usual bit of racist shit-talking.

    Also this was before I found out Scribbler did another reading of my stuff. I would have probably said that instead of RCL.

Upcoming Projects (yes, there's more Dinky) · 6:21pm Mar 7th, 2014

So, my latest story, Alone, was vastly more successful than anything I'd written before, and more than anything I expected from a oneshot sadfic - briefly featured, in the Popular Stories for about three days now, approved by Twilight's Library, and nearing 1,000 views. Not bad for a guy who considers himself a comedy author.

And despite considering myself that, most of my upcoming projects are more Sad or Dark.

First, I'd like to thank everyone who gave my story a look and helped make it so successful. Your tears only make me stronger.

Second, since it's been a frequent topic in the comments - there will be a sequel story revealing what happens to Dinky. It's titled "Anniversary" and will also be Sad.

I also have another Derpy story in my queue, still untitled, but it's more sadfic. That one is my personal take on her backstory.

However, I have a couple other things I want to finish first before I get to those.

"The Twenty-Seven Deaths of Pinkamena Pie" (Dark) is probably going up next. After that is a Celestia story titled "Aftermath" (Dark/Sad).

Also I'm going to try to write some happy Slice of Life with Derpy at some point, if I can resist the impulse to give her decisions in the story some kind of tragic backstory basis.

Finally, last since they're longer and I'm terribly lazy, expect my contribution to the LOHAV meme (with what I hope is a satisfactory twist), a Skyrim crossover comedy, and a Trixie/Dash Romance Adventure.

Well, you know, expect them eventually. Laziness, after all.

Quick edit before work:
Titles for pending tales:
LOHAV fic: "It's Good to be the King"
TrixDash: "Get Lost!"
Skyrim: "HOW DO I PUNCH WITH HOOVES?!"

Also, this happened yesterday while discussing antagonist ships, and I felt it should be shared:
[3/6/2014 6:27:44 PM] Rinnaul: ...also I'm a terrible person sometimes.
[3/6/2014 6:28:03 PM] Tidal: Awh Rin you aren't a terrible person
[3/6/2014 6:29:01 PM] Reaps: I'm always a terrible person.
[3/6/2014 6:29:08 PM] Reaps: Sometimes it's just more obvious.
[3/6/2014 6:38:30 PM] Rinnaul: Thought process:
-Does AJ even have an antagonist character?
-Well, there's Film and Flam, but that's hardly romance material.
-What's a gimmick for them, anyway? Cider? That just lends itself to getting someone drunk first, and that's kinda date rape.
- ...they do musical numbers, too...
- ...and now I'm imagining Film and Flam doing a song about date rape, to the tune of "Be Our Guest".
[3/6/2014 6:38:41 PM] Rinnaul: There. Terrible person.

This blog pleases me :pinkiehappy:

... you write dark pretty well, to be honest.

Added a bit more, didn't know if you were in the chat for that conversation.

I'm sure I do, though I think you do it better. But comedy fics are where I thought I'd do most of my writing when I joined the site.

1904529
I remember that chat!

1904529 I was at a 9-Ball match when that one took place

Can't wait for your next upcoming fics.
