    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

Favorite subgenre? · 3:05am Apr 28th, 2015

It continues to amaze me how many different subgenres of MLP fic are out there. There's everything from feels to drama to comedy to romance. I've seen perfect little slices-of-life, and at least one series that stretches into half-a-million words.


Elementary!

Lately I've been enjoying a few detective stories. Beginnings still seems like it's getting going, but I think it's off to a great start. All In - An Applejack Noir is also unfinished, but there's enough content to bury its hooks pretty deep. I wanna know who dun-doed-it!


Speaking of long series-es...

How about you guys? What's your favorite subgenre?

For me, I have a few. Myths, history and backstories. I like getting into Equestria's past and the backstories of the characters. I also love the myths because they can add to the rich history and backstory of Equestria itself. To me, they all tie in together quite well, and I enjoy reading them all.

3024095 Very cool! Right now I'm enjoying the Fiendship comic miniseries for similar reasons.

(And to mine for more fic inspiration...) :derpytongue2:
