    I'm Basically Done

    I hate to say it, but I've moved on from fan fiction, and really the whole brony community as a whole. As with all things, you just get bored of it eventually, and I think that times has come for me. Who knows, maybe I'll have time for this stuff later in life, but I think it's time to say goodbye. I've been spending a lot of time working on music and stuff; my band is playing at the Burlington

    A Temporary Loss In Interest, And In Time

    So I haven't been on here very much in the last two weeks. I've been keeping busy with things, schools things, and adjusting to taking more hours at my job. I'm also not feeling particularly inspired in terms of ponyfic, but I do have some ideas I want to write before I call writing quits (which will probably happen within the next year, honestly. Though I'll probably still pop in here as long as

    Testing Testing 1, 2, 3

    So today, after spending all day studying for my upcoming AP exam, working 8 hours at my new* job, and then doing more of the same, I decided to unwind and try and catch up on season 4, which I admittedly never finished. And what do I get when unwinding? An episode about fracking tests for Baltar's sake. It's like mlp is trying to tell me to study instead of wasting time watching cartoons. Joke's

Melanie's Marvelous Measles · 10:00pm Feb 18th, 2015

This book destroyed my faith in humanity, but the reviews brought it back. This is true proof that Amazon reviews are the highest form of comedy known to humankind.

Bobby's Bitchin Bubonic Plague

:rainbowlaugh:

The reviews are amazing.

So... crossover? Melanie brings her measles to Equestria and gets the mane six infected?

After I posted this, I actually started thinking of writing a story with measles, or something similar. Not a crossover, but a story where there's an epidemic because Earth ponies don't trust the vaccination, or something like that. But I'm torn as to whether it would be comedic or tragic, assuming I wrote it.

It could be either, depending on how it was written, and how over the top it was. As a crossover, it'd have the potential to wipe out a fair amount of Equestria, if ponies had never been exposed to measles. Keep in mind what happened to American indians when given blankets infected by smallpox by the colonists...

Good point.
