    A question of locations

    I'm working on a human AU fic, and I became curious. Some places in pony world (saddle arabia, for example,) are clearly analogous to countries in our world. There are also fanon stand-ins for real world countries, like neighpon for japan. So, in writing a human au, the question becomes, "do I stick with pony terms because it's a pony fan work, or do I use real world locations because the

    On the subject of Prominence

    So I put up a blog post about an upcoming story (then took it down shortly after cuz it's probably too early to be talking about that story) and in that post, I mentioned that I know what I want to do with Prominence, but each time I sit down at my computer to work on it, nothing comes out. I don't feel joy or motivation, I just feel pressure and a desire to move on to something more fun for me

    Just a thought

    So, I've seen a ton of people give Rarity the last name Belle, on account of Sweetie Belle. Which makes perfect sense to me. It's the only last name the family has, aside from the mother's "Crumbles."

    Considering collaboration

    I'm thinking about finding an editor. or a pre-reader. or maybe someone to co-write with on a project or two. I haven't made any firm decisions, I just feel like I should try this out, because I've really never done anything with another person before. I know not many people read my blog posts, few and far between though they are, but if any of you people who follow me might be interested, go

    New Prominence chapter underway

    I knew it! I knew that new story would get my juices running, and I finally figured out how I want to handle the next chapter of prominence! You all doubted me! YOU ALL CALLED ME MAD! WELL WHO'S MAD NOW?! probably the guy yelling at imaginary detractors on the internet.

DELAY OF PROMINENCE CHAPTER 7! · 2:10pm Nov 5th, 2014

When I went to alt tab to my word processor this morning, I found that libreoffice wasn't open at all. when I opened it up, it did not, as it usually does, restore what windows had been open when it was shut off.

and I, like an idiot, had not saved it once.

But, I think that with a fresh start, and the time I spent on it before giving me a clearer idea of where I'm going, I can make chapter 7 even better than it would have been. And make details that I felt weren't conveyed properly clearer, but I probably would've been able to get that fixed in the editing phase. Still, editing changes established groundwork. this is my chance to completely redo the groundwork.

I'm really sorry about this, I don't know what was going through my head. I can blame no one and nothing but myself for not saving it. Though I still wonder why libreoffice didn't try to restore it.

tl;dr: I done goofed. chapter 7 won't be for a while. sorry. frownyface.

That must hurt! Excited to see how it comes out now that you've had a practice run. :twilightsheepish:

Ergggh. Best of luck reconstructing it...

I agree with your sentiments. More so than a simple thumbs up can convey!
(Though you got one of those too, for good measure. :twilightsmile:)
