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

    I don't know for how long, because I never know these things.

    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

I feel better about how long that took when I look at the word count · 6:13am Nov 11th, 2014

Meant to have new "Not the Hero" ready last week, and it's been frustrating the crap out of me that it's taken me so long. (OK, so I wrote two one-shots in that time period too, which probably didn't help my speed any. :-)) Now that I look at the word count, though... that's reasonable, for two weeks in which I also wrote two one-shots. I didn't realize this chapter would be so long when I planned it (story of my life...)

I'm running out of runway, though. I have only outlined through Chapter 9. I know how the story ends and I have a random bunch of things that need to happen before that but I have to start organizing them and outlining them.

Also, I'm supposed to work on Elements of Opposition. And an original novel. Argh.

It was brilliant, actually. I had to go back and remind myself about what happened in the previous chapter, but that was no hardship. And between what happened in the last chapter and what happened in this one, I am seriously disgusted by Anon.

Yeah ... I commented at length on the original story, but this chapter was really excellent and contained a lot of subtle touches helping to define Discord's character, both by what he did and what he did not do. I really hope that Alara finishes this story!

it was good, and I think it was worth it.

You're writing a book? Care to tell us more about it?
