    A jaded stallion catches the attention of two mares when he moves to Ponyville. Brought together by their shared connection in drinking alcohol, it is both the glue that binds them and the knife that separates them.

    Gears of Romance Now on Haitus

    I'm going to be honest with all of my readers. I hit a wall in this story a while ago when I went to write the next chapter. It seems like things weren't flowing correctly, and that usually means you need to start from the beginning of whatever your section was. The only problem is, I think this story has set up incorrectly from the start. It's amazing what you will learn from attempting to

    Update and things...

    Well, it's been a while since I've updated Gears of Romance. Sorry about that guys, life has been a bit hectic lately. I was too busy during the two first weeks of school to focus on writing and then this week I was sick as a dog. I'm recovering now, so hopefully I'll be able to get back into writing this story.

    Incoming Ships!

    Well, with Pinkie Pride airing today I was a happy camper. Pinkie Pie is my favorite pony after all! And the episode was a wonderful roller-coaster of highs and lows that was still up-beat an fun throughout. I couldn't ask for anything more with this episode and I think it will quickly become my favorite.

Gears of Romance Now on Haitus · 3:08am May 7th, 2014

I'm going to be honest with all of my readers. I hit a wall in this story a while ago when I went to write the next chapter. It seems like things weren't flowing correctly, and that usually means you need to start from the beginning of whatever your section was. The only problem is, I think this story has set up incorrectly from the start. It's amazing what you will learn from attempting to write a story. It all seems to go so well in your head and as soon as you write it down, it seems so much less attractive. Now, I'm not saying that I hate my story or anything. Simply that I don't think this came out how I intended it to. It feels like I'm 'forcing' characters and situations to act or react in a certain way. And I don't want it to feel forced. That's what my struggle has been. I thank you all who have read this story and I hope that when I release a new story that you will give it a shot. I might come back to this, just to finish it off for the sake of completion, but I'm not counting on it at the moment.

There's a concept in economics that applies to this situation, should you ever find yourself in a similar one. "Sunk costs are irrelevant." The resources spent on this project are a "sunk" cost and cannot be retrieved. Thus, it should be irrelevant to future decision making. I will leave the story up for those who wish to read it.

Too bad. I'll await your future decisions though
