I write, I draw, and both tend to be a bit grimdark. Hopefully writing ponies will mitigate that somewhat.

    Hey Rusty, What Have You Been Up To?

    Well, for one thing, I've been spending a large amount of time working on THIS with the great Wanderer D. It's a collaboration we've had in the works for a while now, and it's really cool to see part one of it up. I know it's not

    So about them updates...

    No, I'm not dead, and neither is Backwards Through the Mirror. However, some very troubling things have happened of late, and I've had little time or energy to work on writing.

    Graduated!

    As of May 25th, 2013, I have officially graduated with my BA: Art, Concentration in Studio Practice, Preparation for Teaching. It's been seven years in the making, and a great deal has altered in my life since I first arrived on my campus. I met my first boyfriend there, my first girlfriend, established an unsavory reputation and then rose above it. I met the girl I'm going to marry there, and

    Guess who's a silly pony.

    I am!

    So you know that next chapter of BTtM I kept promising? Well, I went and convinced myself I'd posted it five days ago, and I was all bummed that no one was commenting. Then I went and looked at my page, to poke at it and check for any comments I may have missed, or stray up-votes... And lo and behold, I went and forgot to post the silly thing!

    So I just noticed...

    The bulk of the referrals for BTtM (thank you whoever started using that acronym), come from facebook, but I've got no idea why. I don't have a facebook page, so it's next to impossible for me to figure out which page they came from, but like over 100 of them are from some facebook page.

I got featured! · 8:50am May 24th, 2012

By Celestia's beard! I'm famous! :o

I want to thank you all! I mean, sure, being featured isn't much of a thing, but it's most uplifting to see my little story up there on the featured thingy.

So, to celebrate, here are a few fun facts about the story:

It's over 130 single-spaced pages now.
I've got a sequel already partially written, which promises to be very dark and crazy.
It took me months to work up the nerve to post the story.
Backwards Through the Mirror is one of almost twenty stories I'm writing at the moment, and the only active one.
Backwards Through the Mirror is a play on Through the Looking Glass, not the song Backwards Through the Cosmic Mirror.
I spent a long, long time doing research for Twilight's armor, and it's a combination of human armor and horse armor.

So that's all the silly trivia I've got, which... Is kinda weird, really, but just posting 'Yay I got featured!' felt really bland.

Anyway... Thanks everyone!

congrats! slow burn is the best burn... :twilightsmile:

I still can't wait to see the look on Celly's face when she actually sees Twilight. :trollestia: After all, so far it's only been the Changeling, Pinkie, Luna, and Applebloom - I feel like I missed someone.

Her mother, her squire, and Applejack (last two present for curing Applebloom and only saw briefly).

Congratulations on the feature. So it was a good idea for some slots to be dedicated to older story...

132802 Thanks! I knew I was missing folks - and how could I forget about her mother?!
