    The beard of regret.

    This is a post about beards. Specifically, my beard. There's pretty much nothing else, so I encourage you to skip this post if you couldn't care less about beards.

    Heh, whoops...

    So, trust me to do a big "I'm back!" post and then immediately disappear for a couple months. Sorry about that! The last couple of months at work have been a little brutal, there's some personal home-life stuff happening, and I'm just generally out of practice when it comes to posting. I'll make an effort to post more frequently!

    Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it!

    Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates it! And happy Thursday for those who don't!

    Thus kicks off the traditional holiday season chaos! Get ready for the next few weeks to be filled with holiday music, Christmas specials, and constant reminders of various sales in order to encourage more and more shopping!

    I can see clearly now...

    First of all, I wanted to thank everyone for the warm welcome I got the other day on my previous blog post. I'm not surprised, this is the kindest and most welcoming community I've ever been a part of, but it was very much appreciated! It underscored for me how much I missed being here.

    The Triumphant Return of Hoopy McGee!

    (Alternate Blog Title: My god, so many notifications!)

    Hi, everyone! Hope you’re all doing well in these trying times! 

    Well, I’ve decided to return to Fimfiction after an incredibly long absence. I’ve really missed this site, especially the community that resides here.

New Sunflower chapter! · 7:19pm May 9th, 2014

So, I attended my first con as an adult last weekend. Minneapolis Comic Con. Whew, I had a blast! Tons of people, lots of cosplay (including some girls doing pony cosplay). I attended a couple of programs on storytelling, saw a bunch of celebrities (William Shatner, Karen Gillan, Matt Smith, and the Firefly panel that included Nathan Fillion and Adam Baldwin).

By the time Monday rolled around, I was happily exhausted. Didn't get whole bunches of writing done, though :twilightoops:

Anyway, the latest chapter of Project Sunflower: Harmony is up. More slice-of-life stuff, yay!

This is kind of a tricky balancing act. I'm trying to set up the main story while Erin is getting set up in her new life in Ponyville. For those of you who don't like slice-of-life, things should be picking up in a few chapters. I'm concentrating a lot on Erin settling down in Ponyville, I know. I really enjoy reading that kind of stuff, myself, which is probably why I like writing it so much. Still, hopefully all the things happening in the background keep it from being boring to anyone who doesn't like that sort of thing.

I'm trying something new with this chapter and putting the PoV character for the upcoming section in between the breaks. Please let me know if you find that distracting. I'm actually thinking I may change that to a symbol later on, either something with the PoV character's cutie mark, or some other symbol that represents them if they're not a pony.

Update on unpublished chapters: Chapter 6 is in editing, chapter 7 is almost ready to turn over to my editors.

Also, I'm working on some other stuff that I hope you guys will like. More updates on that, soon! :twilightsmile:

As always, thanks for reading!

New chapter wohoo! :pinkiehappy: Thanks, Mr McGee! Glad to hear you had fun at the convention!

Whee! I really like the slice of life stuff. :twilightsheepish:

Another chapter. Another happy day for me.

Do the cutiemark/sumbol style. Everyone else who has pictures when they change PoV use that. A whole picture of the pony/person is a bit to much.

Slice of life is great. Don't worry.

Yay! Get home from a work trip and there is something fun to read. :twilightsmile:

Yay, New Chapter!

As for conventions, are you going to be going to MLP-MSP? Just wondering is all. I doubt I'll be able to make it.

Hey, nothing says you can't have some time to yourself and ENJOY life. Plus a small break here and there never harmed anyone, isn't that something Twilight's friends have tried to get through to her a few times now?

We got a slot open in our group for the 2014 BronyCon in August if you want in.

Second this. More slice of life! Peaceful, living life - sometimes it's the best thing ever!

Hurry up proofreaders!

It's been 18 days!

Hey, we're waiting on the next chapter. :moustache:

To be honest, I think Hoopy's just tied up irl again. Probably fighting ninjas.
