Okay, I admit it, I'm probably not your mom. But odds are I'm old enough to be. Now with Patreon account (under alarajrogers) and short stories on Amazon (under Alara Rogers).

    Dream log, epic Fluttercord edition

    Had a dream during a nap that is perfectly suited to be a story; I'm not even sure I need to tweak it.

    So in the dream, Fluttershy was dying of old age, and Discord couldn't fix it. (She also had insulin-resistant diabetes, but that's kind of less important.) Discord was very upset by this, and decided to take drastic steps to prevent it.

    Dammit, just discovered a friend here's been dead for two years...

    Today I learned that Jordan died in April 2021, and I had no idea. I was re-reading some of my older fanfics, saw his comments, thought, "Huh, I wonder how Jordan's doing", and the answer is, he's not. Dammit.

    FUCKING DONE FINALLY

    "The God of Breaking Rules In The Land of the Dead" is one of my oldest stories on this site. It's not my oldest incomplete -- "The King Who Would Be Man" and "Stumble In My Footsteps" are both older, all part of my initial rush in 2013-14 when I'd first gotten into the fandom and the writing came like a river. But it is old, posted almost 10 years ago (closer to 9 years, 11 months), and

    A thing y'all should maybe know

    I may or may not make the change here on Fimfiction, but on Archive of our Own and Fanfiction.net, I am changing my handle to Kaleidolon. Mainly as a branding differentiator between fanfic and profic. It's not like I can hide that Alara J Rogers writes fanfic, not after posting it to the Internet for literally 29 years, but when I get published in real life I want it to be slightly

Your synopsis is showing · 1:44pm Jul 8th, 2014

Argh. Now that I've gone and published the first chapter of the thing, I realize that the entire first section of "Traitor" still reads like it's trying to be a quick plot synopsis, which is where I was going with it originally before I realized that doing so was making it dry and unreadable. So now I need to expand the first chapter, as if it isn't annoying enough that this was supposed to be a 3,000 word prologue to "No Escape From Yourself" and it is turning into a 18,000 word story (and probably up to 20K once I add those expansions.) Why why why does my brain have so many words in it?

Well, 15K of the thing is actually done and in the can, so at the very least this can go down in history as the first incomplete chaptered fic I did on Fimfiction that I did actually finish. :-)

Personally, I think the chapter's fine as is. Still, your story, your call.
