    I don't think it's getting better.

    So the good news is that we have a new supervisor at my job. The bad news is that one, the new supervisor is sick with something and her doctors are failing to help her get better, and two, the job is taking its sweet time hiring anyone new. This coupled with various unforeseen factors led to last week being a pain in the hindquarters at work. Plus, my househunting isn't going well, and my phone

    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

Editing a Story · 2:23am Dec 17th, 2014

So, my latest hasn't had quite the reaction that the previous one did. On the one hand, I got a very constructive comment from Reality Check, which is awesome - his stuff is one of the reasons I have an account here, and I've enjoyed reading his works ever since I took a look at "Parting Words". On the other, he pointed out a very valid problem with the story.

I'm planning on rewriting it. The original will be available for those interested on my DeviantArt account, but the new one will replace the original here as soon as I get it typed up. Unfortunately, that won't be for a while - I'm on my last week of Mandatory Overtime at the Amazon warehouse I work at, and free time is officially at a premium. But work's started on it.

It might actually be better this way, to be honest. When I tend to do a serious edit to a story, the story gets stronger. And do I have ideas for the edit...
