    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

    "An Outsider's Perspective" Featured at the Royal Canterlot Library!

    Hey, you know that announcement I've been talking about? This would be it. I'm thrilled and honored to say that the guys over at the Royal Canterlot Library enjoyed "An Outsider's Perspective" so much that they decided to feature it, along with an interview of me.

    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.

The Prince and the Finished Story · 4:16am Jun 26th, 2012

Annnd, that's it! All done. Except for going back, proofreading, and editing where needed.

Somehow, this story I projected to be about 12k words and four chapters turned into more than twice that. It's even longer than Coins and Crowns! Frickin' ridiculous.

In the end, I had a lot of fun writing it. Not to sound like a completely pretentious douchebag, but I reached into some of the darker parts of my soul for Blueblood, and I think it turned out well.

I also got to have a pony valiantly pun a dragon in the face of death. So definitely a win.

Those of you who've been following along, thank you for the encouragement! I hope you enjoyed reading this thing as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Also, in honor of the story going in a somewhat different direction than I expected, I've changed the title to "The Strange Destiny of Prince Blueblood," which I think better reflects the nature of the beast. (Although it might scare off certain Tyrantestia phobes when they reach the second chapter. It's not referring to her, guys. Chill.)

Thank you all for reading! And please, any comments, criticisms, or suggestions for the editing process are more than welcome.

Haha, no, I've been writing for a couple of weeks. I just went back and did some proofing and editing this afternoon. I did have a pretty nice conflux of enthusiasm and free time over the last couple of days, though, which led to a big chunk gettin' finished.
