Jack of all trades, master of none. I've got too many ideas and not enough time, so expect few updates on a bunch of stories.

    The Moment Nopony was Waiting For

    So I promised you all story chapters. I'm a bit late on that mark, but that's because I'm slow in finding editors. So I posted the prologue for Bringing Song to the Silenced for you all, edited only by myself. I also posted a short story, the Lay of Thrum, a story of love and loss (of lucky horseshoes) based on the Lay of Thrym, a Norse poem. Look for those after they've been approved!

    Apologies and Checkers

    Sorry to all of my readers for such a long absence. The combinations of a job, school, and theatre production made for poor writing conditions. The situation is getting marginally better, but I'm afraid I've lost my notes on As It Should Be. I've decided that I'll just write the final chapter, which is what I've wanted to work on since the beginning, and post that. I might add the intervening

    Idea Dump Month

    So somepony who watches me might notice an influx of new stories recently. They might worry that I've given up on As It Should Be. Those people don't have to fear, I will still endeavor to update As It Should Be, but I'm just hashing out a bunch of story ideas that are bouncing around in my head for now. I've got too many ideas to adequately focus on just one, so I'm just popping them out now so

    Back into the Swing of Things

    Hwlrglfrtdn I finally made my way through a set of writer's block, so you should be seeing a new chapter of As it Should Be soon. 'But Jack," you may cry at your computer screen. 'What was so vexing that took two weeks to get over?' Well, that comes down to a poor foresight choice on my part. I was having trouble coming up with a plausible reason for the first of a string of antagonists to begin

Apologies and Checkers · 7:09am Sep 13th, 2014

Sorry to all of my readers for such a long absence. The combinations of a job, school, and theatre production made for poor writing conditions. The situation is getting marginally better, but I'm afraid I've lost my notes on As It Should Be. I've decided that I'll just write the final chapter, which is what I've wanted to work on since the beginning, and post that. I might add the intervening chapters occasionally as whimsy strikes me, and I recall their contents. Also, on the subject of As It Should Be, sweet_dream drew fanart of Pydredd! I decided to share this, despite an earlier decision not to because I intentionally leave descriptions of Pydredd as vague as possible so that others can make their own assumptions on how he looks, but I figured sweet_dreams deserved some recognition.

In other news, I'm looking for an editor and proofreader for a new story I am planning. I'd like this person to also reign me in if I go too far, and give me story feedback, so that we don't have another Marty Stu incident, like Pydredd's weapon foot-juggling. This story I'm looking to add into the Chessgame of the Gods, so hopefully I can live up to the standards set by those masterful fics.
