Let's Play Spin the Planet Puddinghead! Spin it Faster! · 12:43pm Apr 12th, 2014
Yeah! Wait where was I going with this... Oh yeah... another year has passed since I first fell onto this giant spinning rock and began my journey through space. Many humans would call it my birthday... I would call it the anniversary of my arrival on this filthy mud planet. Oh well at least you got magma... Um I should get to the point.
The point being that I intend to do something like this every year and by 'this' I mean I will be taking a look back on what I did the previous year, then talk about my future plans. Most of this will be about my writing, but some will be about Life the Universe and Everything... hm that sounds like a good book title...
Okay! the year that was...
.
One year ago today... I had no idea that MLP: FiM even existed. Yeah Hasbro really snuck up on me with this one... A few months after that my niece was visiting from far off lands with her mother(my sister) and she had wrapped in her arms a light blue pony shaped plush toy with a rainbow colored mane and tail...
So I ask her about her little pony.(I'm not an idiot I do have a sister who was into that kind of thing when we were growing up.) My niece tells me that her pony is Rainbow Dash and I said that was cool. One thing led to another and I went on with my life.
It wasn't until October that I noticed pony videos on YouTube. I was eventually drawn to THIS which eventually introduced to me "Rainbow Dash Presents: Bittersweet" which pulled me into the comedic parodies of My Little Pony. Then I found the sad stuff and I found myself crying and I thought to myself, "How are these stupid cartoon Ponies making me cry?"
So I set out to find the answer. I was going to watch the first season of My Little Pony on Netflix instant just to see what all the fuss was about. It was around the end of the second season when I decided I should just finish the whole show. (I had found out that Twilight became a princess and I intended to find out how and why.) Then I watched Equestria Girls(Based on a few reviews I saw on YouTube) and I didn't hate it. Then I watched THIS. Then I cried. Then I uttered those famous last words for all of us who tried so hard to not join the herd... "When the Hell did I become a Brony?"
That was mid-December 2013 and I have not looked back since. Now, obviously, I write Fan Fiction as an active member of this community.
I have written something that got me far more recognition than I thought it would and I've even started its continuations that will come in a sort of four part harmony. I have written sad stories, I have written happy stories, I have written... more sad stories. I have earned more Fluttercries than I care to count, because it makes me feel like a monster every time I see them in a comment on my stories... I'm gonna stop saying stories.
Now introducing the Ghost of FiMFic yet to come... or the year that will be.
Obvious stuff first. I intend to write more(Work is crazy now that I've been given a key and more responsibilities) but still I want to do more work on my ongoing stories and I really want to get some short stories I have been working on up.
Next I have some holiday stories planned. Halloween(Nightmare Night for you crazy folks) Christmas(Christmas for you crazy folks) Hearts and Hooves Day(because Valentines is not as wonderful... shut up I love pony love stories... you leave my OTP out of this!)
Aside from the obvious writing and holidays, I am working on making a group! The group will be a means of me keeping some stuff in order. Specifically "The Motherverse"
"The Motherverse" is the affectionate name I have decided on for the continuity of "A Mother's Love...". The name was brought up by Bekdontraz in a comment on "To be her Mother" . I had been trying to think of a good name for the continuity and that one fit. Now with that name I will create a group where I can have all the stories under one wheelchair accessible roof.
The group would also allow for anyone wanting to post Motherverse fan stories(I have received idle threats of them.)
Most of all the group's forum will allow for discussion on topics relating to the stories and mothers in general... Oh yeah, I'll also have a story folder for any stories about pony mothers... or anthro mothers... or human mothers... I'm not gonna discriminate, Hell, some of my favorite mothers are humans.
Last, but certainly not least! I want to write a director's cut of "A Mother's Love". I was constrained by contest rules about the size of the story, but now that I've lost the contest I can officially pull a George Lucas and screw around with the story until my fans hate me and what it has become... Okay I won't do that, but I do want to tighten up parts of it and add some things I wanted to have but had to cut for word count.
That is all, have a great day everybody! Also sorry for the length on this thing... Points to those of you who made it this far.
So hath proclaimed the writer Mayhew Cullen and as it is in his mind, so it shall be.
Happy birthday.
Or day of fall? Whichever works I guess.
Where is that pic...

There we go!
2003228 Thanks! I prefer the term banishment day... the cruel day I was banished to the Earth. for no less than four hundred seventy-two solar cycles... My lifespan might be shorter than that though...
2003690 Yay! This is way better than a stripper in my cake! Than you very much... um... Now I wish I had Derpy and Pinkie Pie in my cake... but it's a cheesecake so it won't taste like muffins and will make for terrible Derpy bait.
2003726 Then Happy Banishment Day!
That sounds a bit odd...
Oh well.
At least there are pony shows down here.
2005615 Silly Rootbeer... the Earth is round, there is no up or down.... but as for odd... I do have some trouble differentiating between what is real and what is imaginary... Like kangaroos, those are imaginary right?
2005992 So as long as something's up something else is down. Even then, those that are up are also the ones who are down and vice versa. It's pretty safe to say that here is down in one perspective at the least.
I've never seen a kangaroo up close before but I've seen a wallaby. I think my uncle ate a kangaroo once though.
2006034 In a manner of speaking I suppose that is correct... from a certain point of view.
My brother ate kangaroo once... then again how can I really be certain my brother isn't also imaginary... I may have to ask him.
2007913 Ooo! Poke him with a stick.
I'm not sure how that works but if it proves anything then it helps.
2008823 Well he would beat the crap out of me if I did that but that doesn't really prove anything. If Fight Club taught me anything other than "YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB!" it is the fact that imaginary people can fight you... and win.
2008999 Shhhhhhh! Don't talk about you know what.
Well if he does that and the pain and bruises match the action then he is real. I think it would be safer to give the benefit of the doubt til proven otherwise though.
2009096 Yeah that sounds like something an imaginary person would say... though it also sounds like something a real person would say... maybe I'm the imaginary one and everyone else is real...and also crazy for perceiving me and interacting with me in spite of me being imagined...
2009868 In this day and age even the real spout gibberish and the imagined could make sense as it is an extension of yourself.
Whether something is real or not is a tough question since we all perceive reality in our own way and what others see may or may not be similar to what you see in a normal setting. It's sort of funny to watch the debates on the topic and how some can really get rowdy with their classy insults.
So as long as it exists then it is real. If it can exist without an observer then the proof grows more significant.
Wow. That sounded more profound than usual.
2011137 So like object permanence... because I still seem to be in spite of a lack of observers then I must in some way exist... I like the cut of your gibberish.
2011162 Much obliged.
