Hi! I'm friendly, even if I don't speak. I just like to hide behind my stories, which I hope will be many. They're more interesting than me, anyway. Give 'em a try!

    Dear Princess Celestia

    Today I learned that letting your fingertip slide under the knife while chopping up habaneros can be painful, and you shouldn't let that happen.

    Sorry for taking so long!

    So, finally pushed that baby out!

    I'm really sorry it took me so long - I kept getting distracted by all kinds of life stuff, and lately by nice weather that makes me want to go outside and frolic.

    Why no updates

    For those who wait for any of my stories to update:

    I'm sorry, but you really shouldn't expect anything for at least a week or more likely two. Hopefully not more. I'm preparing to move to another town, and I'm really bad at managing stress. It makes it almost impossible to write.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Wow, seeing the discussion and all the positive comments on 'Twilight makes first contact' is really inspiring, and kind of humbling as well!

    Twiley and me

    Just something a bit annoying I've noticed.

    People tend to know about not writing "Me and Twiley were walking around" or "Among the participants were Twiley and me". Apparently, the fear of this error has been rooted deep enough by now.

Why no updates · 9:26am Mar 16th, 2014

For those who wait for any of my stories to update:

I'm sorry, but you really shouldn't expect anything for at least a week or more likely two. Hopefully not more. I'm preparing to move to another town, and I'm really bad at managing stress. It makes it almost impossible to write.

On the plus side, the pressure packs up a huge amount of ideas in my head, so there may be a small burst of writing in the early April, once I've settled.

The expected order of updates:

1) Next chapter of Twilight makes first contact.
- this one's big and complex, so it may be on its way to become several chapters
- I'll try to publish this (or these, if that turns out to be the case) together with Dramatis Personae and an updated Glossary with Magibabble added
- I also had a fun idea for a what-if chapter, but I don't want to write it before I make a next proper update

2) Either more Twilight makes first contact, or Applejack the Vampony Slayer
- Tmfc has been most on my mind recently just because of the huge amount of though it takes to write it, but it's headed for a natural break-point in two or three chapters, after which it will be absolutely necessary to let it be as I mull the continuation over
- during that break I will be working with AJtVS; it's so character-driven that it needs quite a bit of concentration to work

3) Rainbow Dash makes a windigo:
- tends to get a new chapter whenever I finish a major piece of other writing

4) I also have outlines for two new stories, but I think it's better if I wait until I've finished something before I start any new projects : )

Hurray for updates (and new term: magibabble)! :twilightsmile:
Okay, that makes sense with the move and all. I was starting to get a little concerned, but good to know that you're alive and well, with a good reason for the minor hiatus. As always, real life comes first, particularly when it's something as big as moving. Take your time to get settled in, we'll still be here! :heart:

Thanks for the update. (Er... you know what I mean...). TMFC is probably the story I'm the most madly clamoring to vaguely intrigued to *cough* see completed at the moment, but I can probably manage to subdue my all-consuming ravenous hunger not-complete-disinterest for it long enough to let you move, perhaps. After all, attempting to rush the completion of a story in such circumstances is rarely good for its ultimate quality, and while a lowering thereof would benefit me greatly [dubious - discuss] by increasing my free time, Applejack honesty compels me to admit that I can't find it in my heart to put down this piece quite yet.

Phew, I think I managed to fool them with a cool, aloof demeanor despite the presence of all that aweso... No! Don't type that it'll blow my cov- Farið frá, það er ekkert að sjá hér!

Good luck with your move. :twilightsmile:

Yes, life should come first. At least we have a rough time frame now. Best of luck to you in your move.

Not to sound pushy, but I hope your move went well! Hast thou made progress?

1969150 Right! Just came online to celebrate the fact that I have internet in my new place again! Stuff is still a bit mess, and my muscles ache, and I'm tired as hell, but things are looking up. I'll get back to writing, if not tonight, then tomorrow! :twilightsmile:
