Jack of all trades, master of none. I've got too many ideas and not enough time, so expect few updates on a bunch of stories.

    The Moment Nopony was Waiting For

    So I promised you all story chapters. I'm a bit late on that mark, but that's because I'm slow in finding editors. So I posted the prologue for Bringing Song to the Silenced for you all, edited only by myself. I also posted a short story, the Lay of Thrum, a story of love and loss (of lucky horseshoes) based on the Lay of Thrym, a Norse poem. Look for those after they've been approved!

    Apologies and Checkers

    Sorry to all of my readers for such a long absence. The combinations of a job, school, and theatre production made for poor writing conditions. The situation is getting marginally better, but I'm afraid I've lost my notes on As It Should Be. I've decided that I'll just write the final chapter, which is what I've wanted to work on since the beginning, and post that. I might add the intervening

    Idea Dump Month

    So somepony who watches me might notice an influx of new stories recently. They might worry that I've given up on As It Should Be. Those people don't have to fear, I will still endeavor to update As It Should Be, but I'm just hashing out a bunch of story ideas that are bouncing around in my head for now. I've got too many ideas to adequately focus on just one, so I'm just popping them out now so

    Back into the Swing of Things

    Hwlrglfrtdn I finally made my way through a set of writer's block, so you should be seeing a new chapter of As it Should Be soon. 'But Jack," you may cry at your computer screen. 'What was so vexing that took two weeks to get over?' Well, that comes down to a poor foresight choice on my part. I was having trouble coming up with a plausible reason for the first of a string of antagonists to begin

What it Will Be · 3:31pm Apr 1st, 2014

Hello FiMFiction, I have some bad news.

As it Should Be is probably going to be either scrapped or rewritten. I started writing it with parody in mind and a few world of cardboard speeches to keep me motivated, but it just wasn't enough. General consensus is that I write sitcom and romcom better than adventure and action, so I might swap As it Should Be to those tags. And just to be unique, I might try writing it backwards, from the last chapter forward.

Is There Dust In Here, Or Is It Just Me? on the other hand, I think will be returning to the source genres of adventure, dark and sad. I tried to keep it light hearted and funny, but the story keeps wanting to get sad, so I might as well let it have its way. You can look forward to the exploration of Dust's multiple personality disorder, as well as the death of a few characters a couple of chapters into the future.

On the bright side, I'll be taking story commissions! If you want to make a commission, head on over to my requests page. The first story, made for the person who convinced me to start commissions, will be up soon. Watch out for Double Vision, the tale of a mild mannered mare, meeting many mustachioed male muchachos, while at the same time keeping her secret identity as the evil overlord of the week a secret.

P.S. Happy Trickster's Day
