    A question of locations

    I'm working on a human AU fic, and I became curious. Some places in pony world (saddle arabia, for example,) are clearly analogous to countries in our world. There are also fanon stand-ins for real world countries, like neighpon for japan. So, in writing a human au, the question becomes, "do I stick with pony terms because it's a pony fan work, or do I use real world locations because the

    On the subject of Prominence

    So I put up a blog post about an upcoming story (then took it down shortly after cuz it's probably too early to be talking about that story) and in that post, I mentioned that I know what I want to do with Prominence, but each time I sit down at my computer to work on it, nothing comes out. I don't feel joy or motivation, I just feel pressure and a desire to move on to something more fun for me

    Just a thought

    So, I've seen a ton of people give Rarity the last name Belle, on account of Sweetie Belle. Which makes perfect sense to me. It's the only last name the family has, aside from the mother's "Crumbles."

    Considering collaboration

    I'm thinking about finding an editor. or a pre-reader. or maybe someone to co-write with on a project or two. I haven't made any firm decisions, I just feel like I should try this out, because I've really never done anything with another person before. I know not many people read my blog posts, few and far between though they are, but if any of you people who follow me might be interested, go

    New Prominence chapter underway

    I knew it! I knew that new story would get my juices running, and I finally figured out how I want to handle the next chapter of prominence! You all doubted me! YOU ALL CALLED ME MAD! WELL WHO'S MAD NOW?! probably the guy yelling at imaginary detractors on the internet.

Computer issues and Prominence delay · 11:46pm Feb 15th, 2015

Soooo, my hard drive may be kaput. I'm talking to you from a back up computer. I can write from this one, as I have before, but whether I get my hard drive back in one piece or not after I send it in for fixin' (it's still under warranty until november), I'm going to be starting the whole next chapter of Prominence over from the beginning. Not that there was much that I had set in place at this point anyway, maybe a page and a half, been having some trouble figuring out what to do next, but today of all days, the day when I don't have my computer working, I started getting a bunch of ideas while I was at work.

UPDATE: IT'S WORKING! I just let the checkdisk keep its looped running going, and it finally went through! the last few times I let it run, it just restarted saying windows failed to start properly!

Ouch. Well at least it was still under warranty. My last laptop didn't start falling appart until after it's warranty ran out.

2799741 well, it's working now, actually! so, maybe there won't be a problem! I should probably send it in anyway, its hinge is all messed up...(I deal almost exclusively in laptops. I require the mobility. I write all over this house.)

Back up everything on that drive immediately, if you haven't already done so, and get some better diagnostic software than chkdisk running. A failing hard drive may straighten up and fly right once or twice after its first crash. Don't go back to normal until you're certain the drive is OK.

2799783 :pinkiegasp: that was the first cosmetic thing that went wrong with mine then the connection between the motherboard and the screen went.
