MerlosTheMad


Greetings, I am Merlos the Mad. I am a dabbler of both words and wizardry in my free time. I also invite you all to partake in my musings. Take care though, as they are the product of a madman.

    *Cruises through*

    I was going through an old hard drive and found this sound file I never uploaded. If anybody likes listening to nerds from ten years ago talk about fanfiction with little ponies in it here's one I recorded with Hoopy Mcgee and Mrpockets at our heights of fanfiction. (Warning there is a little vulgarity. I was just out of the army when I recorded this I think. lol)

    Hello everyone, just an update.

    Well, suffice it to say, my renewed effort to start updating to schedule once again didn't pan out. It was maybe a bit naive of me to try and hold myself to that, especially considering how bad my track record had been the last couple of years. Still, I felt I had to try.

    Moving Forward, cause I'm back!

    I probably don't deserve to use a song this awesome, but...

    Heeeello everypony. I hope you've been enjoying the updates so far. Or, at least, you know, tolerating them.

    Whoooa. Two blogs in one year? Who am I and what did I do with the real Merlos!

    It's true, I am in fact... a changeling! The real Merlos is currently locked in the basement of this stinky wizard tower, and I am readying Queen Chrysalis' eeeevil plan to take over all the fimfiction writers and then the whole world! Bwahahaha!

    Except not.

Story Update and Twilight+Trixie Shenanigans · 7:21pm May 21st, 2015

I liiiive! Whoo!

Surprising as that is. Jokes aside, this blog post is mostly to serve two simple purposes. One : remind everyone that yes, for what it's worth, I'm still alive. Two: I have an update for a story I write! Yes, for those of you who have understandably forgotten as time has passed us by, I do in fact write stories. Well, I stare at a screen and cry onto my keyboard more than not these days, but I used to write like the dickens!

And third, I have a new story, and it's mostly just something I've been plucking away at to try and get the gears grinding again while I toil over my current works. Don't worry, this one's done already and frankly it's pretty short, too. It's nuts to think about but it's been over a year since I submitted my last story.

So, first order of business: Thunderstruck. Here yah go! More Sweetie Belle. (Coloring of art was done by Holyme like, forever ago.)

Chapter 12 : Maintenance

So, I've been thinking hard on Thunderstruck as a story the last couple of months, and I'm happy to report that I finished outlining the story in its entirety. Yeah, I know, I'm surprised about that too. I just gotta write it now... As for this chapter, I'm a bit hazy on it, but I like it overall. It's almost a set up chapter for more to come, and I hope that gets here sooner than later. I'll keep you guys posted as things develop, rest assured. I'll be honest, as much as I want to blog post for you guys my shame over not updating really kind of discourages the idea. >.>


Next up, the new thing I did because, hey, new stories are better than nothing, right? Well, I hope so anyway, and this one I felt was pretty fun.

I Can't Stop!

So, this is a little story I've cooked up purely for fun. It's a two parter, and really doesn't touch on anything relevant. I think most of all it's representative of how I used to picture Trixie as that 'weekly recurring villain' that always has goofy schemes at getting back at the good guy. We never really got that with Trixie, and maybe it's for the best... but a guy can still dream. Well, that and write shoddy fanfiction. ^^

Still, I hope you all like it. Or, at least most of you.

Other news, uhm, I'm still as lazy and/or distracted as ever, with an unhealthy sleep schedule to boot. I don't know when I'll start writing again regularly, but you'll notice quick if I do, I'm sure.

Tl-dr : New story! Update for Sweetie Bot! Editing/writing is hard and I have first world problems! Please don't hate me!

Well, it's great that you updated something and wrote a new story. :pinkiehappy:

I still want more from the Madverse though. :twilightsheepish: Don't turn into GRRM now.

3086331

Nah I won't... I swear they'll get finished. I may have to change how I write them, I haven't decided yet, but they'll get finished. I may just focus on the Rarity, Pinkie and Shy stories first, just because they're easier for me to write, and it's already been ages since I updated everything anyway. <.<

3086336 Yes, more madverse please. If you have to pick one, do Rarity and Pinkie; that one has the best immersion and suspense. (But ATL and MLM really need a resolution to all that plot you shoved into the last few chapters)

3086428

Well, the resolution's a ways off, but there's much more follow up story to be sure. Ittt's a work in progress...ish. <.<

3086429 Twilight and Trixie playing paper-rock-scissors is funny, but I think both of them could actually manage to do paper and scissors, unlike most ponies.

3086439

Heh, oh they do more than that in the story. >.>

Following stories on this site has meant I've seen that mulan clip quite a lot.

Here's to hoping to see some chapters soon.

3086620 I stumbled across it once while prowling TV tropes - (the fanfic recommendation page being how I found yours by the way) And I've been following it since episode 4.

Glad to see one of the authors who got me into the show from his stories to be back in business! Though the biggest attraction was Madverse, so I'm still technically waiting... but as a content creator myself (LPs on YT), I understand that these things can take time.

Yay, more Thunder Struck, more fics to read, and Merlos is back!
