What are you doing wasting time reading a bio? Go read good stories. Isn't that what you're here for?

    For the People!

    By popular request, I've posted an epilogue to "Expecting." I hope it'll answer some of the more burning questions, but I often wonder if giving an explicit ending is better than leaving it open to interpretation.

    Back in the Saddle!

    I'm back! I know it's been a little while. I had somethings to take care of. Or one thing, really.

    No, I haven't gone insane

    I got my newest story posted. I hope it meets approval, gets views, likes, and all that jazz.

    But this story is different. Mature, darker, bloodier.

    I just wanted to let those of you who follow me that my newest story, "Nightmare Moon On Oak Street," is a horror story, but also that I haven't "lost it."

    100 crazies?!

    I checked FIMFiction this morning to find I had 100 followers. I remember starting out thinking, "Wow, wouldn't it be cool to have 10,000 followers like <super-popular-author>?"

    Would you like to hear another story...?

    Now that "I Hate Apples" is finished, I'm ready for my next story. I'm already three chapters in, and I think it's gonna be a little longer than the last one. I'm trying something new, something to stretch myself with. A story unlike the others I've written.

    It's much, MUCH darker.

Would you like to hear another story...? · 2:31am Nov 13th, 2014

Now that "I Hate Apples" is finished, I'm ready for my next story. I'm already three chapters in, and I think it's gonna be a little longer than the last one. I'm trying something new, something to stretch myself with. A story unlike the others I've written.

It's much, MUCH darker.

I thought writing something dark wouldn't be too hard, but there's a catch. You can write a story with blood and gore, but that isn't enough. There are plenty of stories (and movies, and tv shows, and... well everything) that try to be "darker and edgier," but oftentimes, those stories are just plain bad.

So yes, it's easy to write a grimdark story. It's incredibly hard to write a good grimdark story. Especially using ponies. I mean, look at 'em. They're pastel for crying out loud.

I've finished a one shot to tide ya'll over until I get the next big story finished. It should be released in the next week or so.

So buckle up, I ain't finished yet!

I'm trying my hand at a dark story. It's rated well, and criticism is the most constructive I've seen. Hope yours goes well too.
