I'd call myself a fanfic writer, if I wasn't too busy horsing around!

    Season 5 Retrospective

    Right, so it's been a month since I last checked in, and at that time I said I'd write a couple blog posts. Well, the holiday season came at me like a ton of bricks, what with its real-life obligations and so forth. I wish I had been able to put some time aside for writing, but I'm honestly pretty bad about that. But that's all over and I have more free time than usual. So, like I said last time,

    Update: All the Things

    Hello. It's been a while. Too long, in fact. I've had some long pauses between my stories, or any other kind of artistic endeavors I've gone on. It's a problem. I want to get back into writing, and I want to finish up this monster of a story that's just become huge and crazy and equal parts fun and frustrating, for myself and for anybody that's been waiting. I like to pretend I'm

    WTG Week 3 / "The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone"

    Okay, I'm more than aware I'm a small fry on FimFiction with basically zero notoriety or fame (E-fame? Internet illustriousness?), but I said I'd write something for the Writer's Training Grounds for Week 3, and I didn't. And it's worth mentioning why, at least. I could blame a bunch of stuff for preventing me -- I had a final, a job interview, my workplace is undergoing structural changes, one

    Double Feature: "Just an Accident" Fic / "Make New Friends" Episode Follow-up!

    So to continue my tradition and bad habit of writing more blog posts than stories, but also to somehow cut down on the number of posts I make, I'd like to talk about both my new story for EQD's Writer's Training Grounds, Just an Accident, as well as Saturday's episode, Make New Friends but Keep Discord!

    Whatcha gonna do, brony, when the WTG gallops wild on you?

    Hello there, pony peoples! It's not very late here in Southern California, but I'm incredibly wiped like you wouldn't believe. Finals are coming up, I'm dealing with crazy changes at work that are much too long to get into, and three days ago I saw the newest edition of the Writer's Training Grounds on

Announcements... and something special! · 7:48pm Jan 31st, 2015

Hey! I'd like to start off with apologizing for how late this chapter was. I tend to second-guess myself all the time, and it didn't help that many things had to happen at this point in the story. On top of that, I ended one college semester, then was caught up in the holidays, and I've just started yet another semester! So life's pretty busy. But I've got a few announcements in regards to Kickin' Flanks.

1. At most there will be two more chapters, plus an epilogue. My guess is they'll still be long, like around the length of chapters 8 and 9. So that's, bare minimum, 90 pony-filled pages you'll get to read, and I'll procrastinate on writing!
2. Once the fanfic has ended, I'll post one more section: a "chapter" of deleted scenes and outtakes! There's an alternate way that Applejack and Rainbow Dash had entered the top floor of Manehattan Correctional, a version of Twilight's escape, and probably more to come. I'll also pepper in some commentary as well to explain why I made different decisions.
3. After the outtakes have been posted, I'll probably want to write something that isn't even close to being as plot-heavy. And once that's done, I plan on writing a sequel - with the main character as 'Derpy'! It's a lot on my plate, but I want to do it, and the only way to become a better and faster writer is to simply write more.

Lastly... I wanna show you guys something very, very special.

This was a gift to me from my roommate, friend, and current proofreader Matt, who commissioned this from Chigs Custom Plush! I had sent Matt a photo of a quick doodle I had made in the middle of class - it's Rainbow Dash with her toothbrush shiv! This is basically a fan creation of a fan creation! You can check this out on DeviantArt, and you can also commission your own plushies from Chigs, either on DeviantArt or Facebook!

Picture is broken, looks like you're missing the http. That said, when I try to embed it myself it fails and loses that crucial bit, so Knighty might been working on something and it's temporarily broken.
