    Reflecting on Rewriting and Revisiting

    I am not the same as I was when I wrote all those stories a decade (what?!) ago.

    Thanks, Captain Obvious.

    But it presents an interesting challenge I had never thought about back then. How do you try to tell the same story to bring it up to (hopefully) better, later standards?

    Unimagination

    Hey, all. I guess I'm in a reflective mood, and I thought where I'm at might be something relatable for a lot of us.

    A Humble Proposal

    Hey, everybody! I missed this community. I've kind of felt like an outsider, since I haven't watched the show since the end of Season 4, but I thought I'd check in on my old stomping grounds. Some familiar faces still say hi from time to time, after all.

    what if tow was not kill

    what if tow used a meme joke to break his long silence?

    So, yeah, sorry about that. It's my last semester (hopefully) of college, so I've been pretty busy. To be honest, I've also been really lazy with my free time and spent more time on Youtube than on here or on Skype. Sorry that I've been a butt. :twilightblush:

    A Break to Discuss Visual Novels

    Yes, this is mostly an excuse to discuss a visual novel I recently played, but partly to dissect it as research. See, I've wanted to make my own visual novel for a while (probably for free or under $5, because it'd be more for fun than for a profit motive). I really like reading/playing visual novels, and I like experimenting with my writing, so writing my own visual novel seems like a natural

Two Year FiMFiciversary or Something · 5:34pm Jul 11th, 2015

I don't have a whole lot of time, since I still have schoolwork to do and a research paper to research, but I just thought I'd make a post celebrating two years of being on the site.

It's been quite a wild ride. I have to say, I'm quite different from who I was last time I made an anniversary blog, let alone from when I joined the site. Twenty-two stories later, I'd like to think I'm a much better writer than when I started, although I realize I still have a long way to go. I'm definitely much more noticed as a writer, since my follower count has nearly quintupled over the past year. And while I don't churn out two thousand words in a sitting like I did when I started, I'm getting back to being consistently productive like I was before. The difference is that this time, those two thousand words are of a higher quality than before.'

I do have quite a few people to thank for this. First off, I'd like to thank Zom for being my go-to guy to bounce ideas off of and to just talk to sometimes. I'd also like to thank Flint Sparks and ElectreXcessive for serving basically the same role in the past, even though I've been a butt and more or less ignored them. Blame it on time zones and general busy-ness. Minds Eye and Noble Thought have offered me idea help as well, including on a particular project I may never get around to because I want it to be perfect. Timaeus and Meridian Prime have helped pre-read a few of my stories. Zodiacspear has been the Trixie fan. Every group of friends needs one of those. Oh, and I guess he helped with my stories or something... (:P) Jack (because we refer to him by username so rarely that it feels weird to call him that) has also read over stories and offered help. Foals Errand has been a good friend, too. MDNGHTRDHTLN has been keeping the Monthly Contest Club up and running for me, which I am very grateful for.

I've probably missed a few people, but if I have, it is not out of spite. I just had some distractions pop up while I wrote this, and I'm in a bit of a time crunch before work, so I may have forgotten a few thank-yous. Just poke me, and I'll be sure to add you to the list.

And one final, big thank-you to all of you. Thank you so much for all your support. It blows my mind that a few hundred people decided to follow my silly little fan fictions, and that I have had thousands upon thousands of people read my work. It's something that crossed my mind and everything, but I never actually expected it to happen. So thank you again.

Here's to one more year of ponying on!

Wake up. This is just a dream.

You're actually on a boat with strippers and cocaine.

. Zodiacspear has been the Trixie fan. Every group of friends needs one of those. Oh, and I guess he helped with my stories or something... (:P)

Thanks... I think. :derpytongue2:

Also, of course I included you! You and the rest of the YMLT gang have been good friends to me, and y'all have been super helpful with my stories as well. Plus you're just really cool people.

P.S. I wish you and Albi well with your albino alicorn children.

3228816 is right. If only I were so lucky. Instead, the strippers were all octogenerians and the "cocaine" was actually just Pixie Stix. Oh, and the boat was one of those cheap rentals.

The "every group needs one of those" was kind of a lame joke. And by that I mean it was super lame, and it was kind of a joke.

But someday, I will cure you of your delusion. You poor, mentally-deranged soul ginger. :trollestia:
