    Jed On: Stories Taken Down/P2P

    Short version. I've taken down several of my stories: I believe the phrase is "pull to publish", as I'm going to strip them down and work them back up as original novels, short stories and more.

    Final (?) Update

    Hi all.

    So it’s obviously been a while since I wrote something on here, or indeed updated anything. I’ve been busy for a while, and I haven’t had much motivation to come back to this site for a while. There are a lot of reasons for that, but most of them aren’t really my business to disclose entirely.

    Jed On: Brief writing update

    Hey all.

    Short version: I’ve wasted enough people’s time with long talks about my mental state by now.

    Haven’t managed to write much of anything since last blog post. Not for this place, not original work, nothing. It’s frustrating, but I’ve had to deal with writer’s block pretty much on and off for the last ten years so... 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Jed On: Current Events and History

    There’s a lot of awful things happening in the world right now, so I’ve had to really think about the best way to approach it. It sort of hit home when an author whose work I actually liked turned out to be… well, other people know better than I do so I’ll leave it at that.

Jed On: "Darker and Edgier" · 6:57pm Nov 27th, 2014

So - a little while ago, a person I respect a great deal paid me the great complement of putting an edit into the AoA tropes page saying that it was a contender for "darkest Alt-TCB War Fic". Now, while I was more than flattered by this - I've talked before about how I don't think my work's very good as I write it, so having someone I respect that much complement me is something of an ego boost - I couldn't really agree with it. I've worked on Other Side of the Spectrum for God's sake - that thing is so dark that light literally bends around it.

Today I wrote something - scratch that, two somethings - for AoA that may have just earned me that "Darker and Edgier" tag, or at least pushed me a lot closer to it. One of them will probably be posted in the next couple of days (I could post it today but I want to give it a few to sink in for me in case it needs more work), and if I've done my job right you will bloody cry.

Looking forward to seeing how you react.

Jed.

I regret nothing.
Also: Awww, thanks! :)

You'll have to let me know if "The Battle of Ponyville" lives up to "Darker and Edgier"... ;-)
