Two Years... Ask Me Anything · 3:38am Sep 29th, 2014
Wow. Technically, it's been a few weeks since, but I've been on the site now for two years. Funny how time flies by, huh?
I guess you can go ahead and ask me anything, and I'll answer it to the best of my ability. I'd never actually intended to start writing fanfiction, this site was simply another place to get some reading material. Funny how things turned out, huh? I know I've been beyond sluggish as of late, but I'm getting back to it, School is just taking the forefront right now. And Wasteland 2. Getting a bit of time in on that now that it's officially released.
So, yeah. Ask away, and I'll answer. Thanks to everyone who has supported me in some way, whether it be through your follow, favorite, votes, comments, constructive or otherwise, and a big thanks to those of you who I've come to call friends on Skype and here on FIM. Great place, great people (most of you, some still make me wonder, but hey, such is life.)
Space, out~
Did you ever expect to be a story approver here
2492347
About as much as I expect people to read blog posts now a days.
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
But on a more serious note, what was the first story you remember reading on this site?
BIGGEST CLOPFIC REGRET GO
oh ho ho. WELL! ummmm, how's it going.
2492410
Hmmm... was actually Anonymous Pegasus' stories. The ones that basically spawned the whole Affliction-verse, back before they were huge and whatnot. Yup.
2492416
A FeMale Perspective of Equestria, obviously. Honestly, I don't really know... there've been too many bad ones already.
2492422
It's going. Exams are fun, especially online.
oh!
What's the one thing you NEVER want to write in ponyfic
How much time out of your day do I make you wonder?
2492460
Every goddamn second we talk. Every single one that ticks by~
2492438
I would say futa... I would say male to female transformations... To keep it a bit simple and clean though, it'd probably be a Spike-centric fic. I really don't like Spike, even if he has his place and time in stories.
Hosnap! Space is a story approver now?!
Congrats!
As for my question.... *takes a deep breath*
After all the unread stories got wiped a few days ago, I had gone through my favorites to reset them and saw that [Re]Birth hasn't seen a new chapter since November. I do recall that that was when you had written so much that you'd burnt yourself out, but I can't remember if you had mentioned after your break what your plans for updating it were. Is there any news about it that you'd be willing to share? Or is it simply a matter of updating/finishing other projects first before starting on [Re]Birth again?
2492607
Thanks, Argeri!
ReBirth... whoo boy. So, you follow enough of my stuff to know I've got a lot of ongoing projects. Too many, really. I'm trying to wrap some up, and focus one at a time. It also doesn't help that my pace is still slow. Well, more that I'm having a hard time buckling down to write.
ReBirth does still have plans. I think I made a mistake throwing the romance center stage. Should have left it smouldering in the background, slowly building up. There are plans for it. It's definitely not dead, nor will it be.
2492620 Ah, alright. I also kind of agree with you about the romance. Thinking back on it now (it's been a while since I last read the story), it was a little jarring going back and forth between the moments with a lot of action going on and the romance. Not overtly so but still a bit noticeable.
I'm also glad that it's not dead since I actually rather like the story.
Another question that's a bit more lighthearted and entirely unrelated, are there any music bands and/or genres in particular that you find yourself listening to more than others?
Does it bother you that your most popular stories are hilarious clop ones?
2492654
For awhile. Like, for example, FeMale 1 is now inside the Top 50 viewed stories on the site. I feel a bit less bad now that BOWTN and Along Comes Twilight are both in the 1k upvotes as well, so now it's not JUST the clop story as the most popular by miles and miles.
2492665
This is true!
Story Approver and Popular Author. How do you find the time to do other things?
Train A, traveling 70 miles per hour (mph), leaves Westford heading toward Eastford, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves Eastford heading toward Westford. When do the two trains meet? How far from each city do they meet?
2492776
Barely had to think about this one~
2 hours. 140 + 120 = 260 miles.
So, yeah. That's when, and the where.
What concepts and themes pique your interest the most?
2492620
Which story are you planning to work on first?
2492823
You know I'm a sucker for romance, Aynine~
Themes, well, tends to be a flavor of the month, or year. For some reason, I have drifted towards Humans in the last year, although now I've got a little bit of this and that.
2493089
I've actually started moving forward on Getting Used to Being [Fe]Male in Equestria in the last couple of weeks, I've written ~12k for it thus far, I think? Coming close to wrapping up another chapter, and got the plans for the one after that started. After that, I'll most likely try and force myself to finish off that 2nd person POV experiment I'd started, if only to have it marked as complete. After that, well, it's a tossup.
If my math is correct you have had a profile for; two years, three weeks, and five days.
2492427
Seems we started in the same place. I love finding things in common with the people I stalk.
2493575
Technically it was September 4th, 2012. However, it was close enough to two years, being the same month and all.
And yup. I was actually reading Anonymous Pegasus over on Sofurry originally. I don't remember how or why, but that's where I first read some MLP fanfiction. Followed on over here, and made an account after months of being an unregistered user.
2493493 Hah. I'm a sucker for morally conflicted ideas myself. But I'm sure that shows. lol
2493578
I remember being an unregistered user. I had to use a wii to read things, and couldn't favorite thing properly..... which reminds me of a few stories I still haven't done that for due to my crap memory.
When did you become a story approver? Seriously, I totally didn't know. Surprised the shit outta me.
Which of my stories do you like the most? Which do you want to see me expand upon the most?
Chocolate milk?
Limitless stamina, but you can NEVER move faster than 12 meters per second. (This becomes your top running/swimming speed. You also do not need to eat whilst running/swimming.) Or you become tired after one minute of strenuous activity but you can move as quickly as you'd like during that one minute.
You must spend the rest of your life with a horrible stutter, or perpetually singing. Which do you choose?
More will come later, when I can think of them.
2493765
Like, 12 hours ago, Jet. Right before I made this blog, really.
I have a guilty interest in Human / Pony romance. More than is probably healthy. And you know which story I like the most of yours. Fireflies, of course.
And you're silly.
2493782
I... I'm not silly...
What inspired you to create a transgender protagonist in [Fe]male?
2493919
Yes you are. Admit it.
2493958
... good question. I have no idea, man. Seemed to have worked out well, though.
This is just my speculation but I don't think the question is what inspired him to start but what changed his initial work? Based on what I read in the first story and some comments it struck me as a heat of the moment project poking fun at numerous genderbender/sex situational clichés. That second story though...Really got my attention with some of the plot developments what with the protagonist's struggle with new roles and introduction of Equestrian politics. As a college student I more than understand the problem priorities, both school and game obsessions, but as a fan I still have to say...REALLY hoping to see more updates for [Fe]male soon.
Your laying in a bed, theres the hottest women youve ever seen laying on your right, and a gay guy on your left, who do you turn to?
(I know im late to the party, blame night classes at AIT)

That one is, uh, not quite the type of question I was looking for, but I'd definitely pick the woman. That's kind of a no-contest question you gave me there.
2503774 so now your rears exposed XD (think about it) and you said any question and Imsitting in a barracks bored out of my mind, put 2 and 2 together
