    Actually, on the subject of stories in other places...

    So I mentioned before that much of my writing recently had shifted to positive stories with transgender themes. (Perhaps there's something about 2020 and 2021 that really gets me to lean into writing cute fluff, because the world isn't providing a lot of that right now) I'm on a private writing discord with some folks who write similar things, and this past December we did a Secret Santa

    Stories of a Different Nature

    Hi everyone! I'm not totally sure how many of my followers here are actually active, given that I've been out of the ponyfic game for... well, for years at this point.

    Leftover Books!

    Bronycon was tremendously, tremendously fun - and I think I already am suffering from a bit of post-con ennui. I wish I could pack up and head back and do it all over again next weekend. There are too many folks to name, and I'm paranoid about leaving anyone out, but... Basically, it was wonderful to get to see so many friends, whether I have known them for years or got to meet them for the first

    Bronycon!

    So, I'm at this thing. Already escaped from a room and everything.

    If you see me, say hi! But I have no idea what I'm doing most of the con, except one thing: Friday morning I'll be at the bookstore booth in the marketplace. So stop by then if you want a copy of my book and want me to sign it too! (All three of you who want it or whatever, heh)

This is Happening · 7:11pm Jul 3rd, 2015

After a very long time in the making (some of which was due to work and rework, some of which was due to long periods of being creatively stuck) I've finally published one particular story: Do Changelings Dream of Twinkling Stars?

This fic is an experiment in a lot of ways, and something that I have strong, complicated feelings about. It's a noir-influenced mystery, heavily reliant on OC characters – which I know to be a pretty hard sell. But I think that for a certain audience it will be a treat. I'm very excited to finally get this out there, and hope that you'll give it a chance! The first two chapters in particular should be a good indicator of whether it works for you or not.

How much Blade Runner is in it?

Spark lies, I was totally bored and uninterested in parts of Chapter 1 and most of Chapter 2 but really enjoyed it by later on.

Anyway congrats, glad timing hasn't fallen into the worst case scenario

It begins more or less from something very similar to the premise of Blade Runner, but I ignored the events of the movie (and the book) and came up with a plot that I wanted to write instead. I haven't actually seen/read them in forever, and deliberately didn't revisit them when in the process of writing.

Anyone who ignores this because of the OC tag is denying themselves a beautiful Noir treat.

This is a glorious piece, and I'm loving every second of it.

Almost nothing, if you're curious. Takes a few bits here and there, but that's about it. It's its own beast, and it's all the better for it.

Whoaaa you posted it! :pinkiegasp:

Everyone should really give this a look. I'm not even a fan of the genre.

It's good, seriously, check it out.
