    The Most Dangerous Game

    So I guess I missed out on EqD's latest big writing contest, The Most Dangerous Game. I mean, technically there's two days left to submit, but I only just found out about it. Shame, too, because I have kind of a cool idea--just not one I think I can get done within the time left to me. Ah well. Maybe

    Hey, so, Flutterspy!

    Guess what story I just finished after more than two years of writer's block?

    No, not Prince of Ponyville. Probably never Prince of Ponyville.

    Nope, it's a story that I feel holds up a lot better, and really deserved an ending: "Flutterspy!"

    I'm late to the party, here, but Rainbow Rocks...

    I just finished watching Rainbow Rocks, and I have to write down my immediate reaction.

    That reaction is: I just watched Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny's kid sister movie. It was freaking amazing.

Hey there, EqD folks! · 8:31pm Jun 21st, 2012

Hey, looks like "Get Lost (In a Book)'s" up on Equestria Daily! Welcome, anyone who dug it enough to take a look at my other stuff. Hope ya enjoy!

Since I'm a shameless narcissist desperate for the self-validation I get from seeing that little views counter tick up, here's an overview of my other stories thus far.

"Coins and Crowns" is the idea that got me back into 'fic writing after several years of absence. I'm a big fan of Jim Butcher and noir in general, and for some reason was really taken with the idea of a down-on-his-luck earth pony gumhoof living in Fillydelphia. Despite the Dark tag, there's no explicit sex or gore there, just an old-fashioned detective story. If you take a look, I hope ya enjoy.

"A Teacher With No Class" was a result of me wanting to write Cheerilee (I'm an Education major, so I get a kick out of her) and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but it kinda ended up about Prince Blueblood being a really, really messed up dude. A lot of people liked it and requested a sequel, which led to...

"The Prince of the Everfree Forest," which is currently ongoing. Blueblood wanders into the Everfree, meets Zecora, goes on a vision quest to find his destiny, and isn't entirely pleased with the results. I'm really getting a kick out of writing it, but it's definitely earned its Dark tag. Again, no sex or gore, but...dark. Definitely dark.

Anyway, I've got a chapter or two left of that one to finish (it's running a bit longer than I expected). And "Coins and Crowns" is still stuck in /fic/ prepreader limbo, but I've been doing some editing on my own recently and touched up a few rough spots. So please, poke around, enjoy your stay, and by all means, any and all feedback as appreciated.

Congratulations on getting to EqD! I haven't read that particular one yet, but I'll put it in my read list. I'm also looking forward to your ongoing adventures of Blueblood and did you say Zecora will be coming with him? Even more awesome! Keep up the good work and I'll keep reading.
