    Update (Without excuses this time!)

    Guess what? I'm done writing the next chapter of Manifesto.

    I just need to give my prereaders a day or two to look over it, and then it'll go up.

    Until then, here's Despacito being played on a guzheng.

    Hey, everyone.

    I've somehow gotten out of the habit of posting updates. Oops.

    Anyway, you've no doubt noticed that I don't post as often as I once did in the past. This is largely because improvements in my life situation mean I have the wherewithal to engage in hobbies other than writing fanfiction.

    Update.

    Goodness, it's been a while, hasn't it? You're probably wondering why my pace has slowed down on Manifesto. Well, there are several reasons, but the most relevant one is that I find myself rewriting large swaths of this chapter as I zero in on the best plan for Sunset to take. I'm basically going back and forth between two ideas that can't really be combined into a single one, and for

    New Story Incoming

    In case you missed my last blog post, I'm taking a break from the adventures of Celestia and Daring Do to write the next Petriculture story. At this point it looks like it'll be fairly short -- about two chapters long -- and I recently finished up the first chapter, which will be posted once my prereaders give it a final once-over.

Like my stories but hate reading? Problem solved! · 10:20pm May 27th, 2012

One of the most surprising things that happened when I started posting fanfiction here was that other bronies felt compelled to read them out loud, and put these performances on YouTube. It's quite flattering, and I thought I'd thank them by linking these videos here for you to see. I've mentioned both of these in the comments section of their respective stories, but I figured doing this would be a bit more noticeable.

First, there's "Petriculture," read by SerAaronsMind, who's very British, and thus makes this story sound intellectual, since British accents make everyone sound smarter.

Next, there's an ongoing reading of "Wild, Sweet & Cool," from MLPWolfProductions. He has a few early difficulties, brought on by the fact that I never thought anyone would try reading this story out loud, or I never would have made up words like "PommelHorse" or "Immelpferd."

Awsomness. I still enjoy reading, but will check this out. :pinkiehappy:

That's pretty cool. I think I'll just keep reading though, lets me read things in pony voices.

I have no difficulties pronouncing Pommelhorse or Immelpferd, but that might be because I'm German and as you might know pferd is our word for horse, sooo it's not really that difficultdl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/lolface_Celestia.png

Yeah, the reader's problems stemmed from the fact that he didn't realize "Immelpferd" is supposed to be a ponified version of "Immelmann."

138936 Then I can imagine that he was quite confused with that word. :twilightsheepish:

Don't forget that Mic is going to read Petriculture!

Mic? Of "The Microphone" fame? Where did you hear this?

139080 In his stream! It was one of the ten fics he was going to read in the near future, if I'm not mistaken. Currently, he has up Pinkie Watches Paint Dry, and Luna, There's a Sentient Race Inside Your Mane.

British accents make everything sound smarter?
I have a british accent! I sound smart! :twilightsmile:
