    Against All Odds Submitted

    As of about a minute ago, I submitted Derpy's final "Misadventure" story.

    Derpy's Final Misadventure

    I have a confession to make:

    I have perhaps not always put in every ounce of effort I possibly could have in writing for this website. I have oftentimes been lax in editing, have taken the easy way out on certain elements of storytelling, and have generally not given everything that I could have here. The reason why is simple: This is just fanfic, and I'm not getting paid for it.

    Thanks for all the support!

    So, my ridiculous crackfic "Arthur Saxon Beats up Tirek," has been featured, I just noticed. Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I have never had a story featured on FiMFiction before, and it's pretty cool to see it happen, even if it isn't representative of the rest of my body of work.

    Thanks to all of you who read it, liked it, or favorited it.

    I promise I'm working on something!

    I'm going to have this new Derpy fic submitted by the end of the week, I hope. It's nearing a final draft, but the dialog is being really touchy with me in terms of phrasing things for best effect. What's more, I'm having to piece this together very carefully so that there's enough exposition for the reader to get what's going on, but not so much that it's just "and then this happened because

    Gonna be a little late with this one.

    I'm working on a horror-ish Derpy Nightmare Night fic. It's gonna be late (obviously) because work took too much time for me to finish it in time for Halloween. It will probably post some time next week. It's going to be the second of the series to depart from my usual policy of going for the "Everyone" rating on these fics because I just could not find a way to play horror straight and keep

New Derpy Fic on the Way · 9:59am Aug 18th, 2014

I don't guess anybody really follows this blog, and with as many notifications as FimFiction dumps on anyone who is in any significant number of groups, I can't say that I blame any of you.

However, for those who care, there is a new "Misadventure of Derpy Hooves" in the works. It's the longest yet, and deals a bit with Spike and his backstory. It's untitled, as yet, but I should have it finished, edited, and posted within the week.

Be forewarned: It starts off weird, keeps getting weirder, and manages to prove handily that I simply do not have the capacity to write something that isn't at least a little bit sad. I'm beginning to realize that Derpy is how I explore the implied horror of Equestria as depicted in the show. Say what you want; rainbows, sunshine, and pastel colors don't make a world full of ancient evils and horrible monsters where your destiny is set in stone by a magic ass tattoo a "happy place."

Equestria is Forgotten Realms with even more hand-waving and the dark implications thereof.

And cute little talkin' horsies!

Speaking of the ilk of Forgotten Realms, have you read My(stara's) Little Pony? It's a fantastic crossover with D&D.

No, I can't say that I have. Maybe I'll get around to it, some time. I'll make a note of it.
