    The State of Affairs

    Yikes. It's been a while, hasn't it? I hate these blogs, but I kinda feel guilty when I don't say anything, so please bear with me.

    Rant time! Show vs. Tell: Why You Know People who are Doing it Terribly Wrong

    It’s always depressing to see people give bad advice. It’s even more depressing to see people eat that bad advice up and say things like, 'This is really good and totally right!' Now, I don’t like starting arguments on the Internet, so I normally just shake my head and look the other way. But this is something I have seen more than a couple of times from people who have a greater audience than

    New Chapter and Related Apologies

    New chapter is up! Twilight and Celestia are getting closer to the dragon kingdom now, but they still have a little something to go through before they get there. That little something may or may not include living, giant stone statues.

    Honest Words

    She holds my hand with all the strength she has left, a bony grasp that shakes like a frightened child. I can hear her breathing, wet and rasping as if her lungs are filled with fluid—until I realise that they probably are. The oxygen machine next to me hisses, and I can hear shrill beeps from the other side of the bed. One and a half every second, a laughable imitation of a heartbeat. To me it

You Know What's Awesome? Epic World Building. That's what. · 12:39pm Aug 16th, 2012

Hello! How are we all? Good? Wonderful! I am glad to hear it.

Now, I am writing this under the assumption that you are here because you enjoy my work, to which I am incredibly shocked and thankful (have I ever told you guys are the best? Because you are). Most of you are probably here in response to The Sun Whispers Your Name, a story filled with adventure and world building. So it seems logical to assume that you guys like that stuff, right?

If this is the case, then I have a story that I think you will love. I recently (as in, like, a couple of hours ago) read Whisper Sun, Silent Moon by RedSquirel456. It is a piece that strongly reminds me of my own work, some of which is yet to come out (only his is much, much better). Epic world building, rich and vibrant description and a sense of granduer that's just hard to match. If you like anything by me, I urge for you to go check it out. You surely won't regret it. The story itself is criminally underrated at the moment and it would make my day to see that rectified somewhat. So please, go and read it and tell RedSquirrel how awesome it is, because trust me when I say it's pretty darn awesome.

So yeah! Go and read and enjoy. I know I did.

And to those handful of people that care, the final instalment of Hell's Traitor should be out in the next day or so. And then onwards! Always onwards. The gears are turning, and my keys are being hammered. Exciting stuff is happening, and I can't wait to show you guys.

Till next time!

Hmm, you know? I was feeling a bit wonderful, maybe after this I'll go shoot lightning out of my eyes and see if I can tear the blue out of the sky - I always thought a nice violet would look heavenly.

You'll be able to tell if it works :scootangel:

And the story looks interesting, and if it's better than what you write, then there's no way I wont enjoy it. It may take me a bit to get to it, however, darn story build up!

Anyway, I've always viewed myself as semi-adequate. I'll be working up to that "best" tag, though.

When darkness all surrounds you...
and the truth has yet to come...
Run hard.
Run fast.
Towards the rising sun.

*adds to RL list*

I love world building. It's basically 90% of the first few chapters of my story X)

Thanks for pointing out more good stuff to add to the read later list, which is already entirely too large at 186 :applejackconfused::rainbowderp: I really, really need to start reading and getting that number back down.

-Cv

290230 Oh heaven! Not the heavens! D: I like my sky blue, not some sort of alien purple. I am scared to go outside now.

Keep in mind, of course, that I despise my own work, hahaha. It's not hard to be better than me!

290236 What's that a reference to? Sounds pretty cool!

290261 Haha, yeah, I try to keep my 'to-read' list under 10 stories at all times to prevent getting swamped. But mine is currently sitting at 7, and your story has definitely piqued my curiosity... Would you look at that, it's now at 8! :pinkiehappy:

290279

:twilightsmile: I hope you like it! I want to have the next chapter out within a couple of weeks but that may depend on my health.

Having read the fic you've suggested, I too want to suggest an epic of truly epic world building: Days of Wasp and Spider. If you're a sucker for dark sci-fi and historical background, it's a damn good read.

290305 Well I hope everything goes well for you!

290374 Huh. That looks pretty cool. Another fic on the 'to-read' list!

the final instalment of Hell's Traitor should be out in the next day or so.

I need it NAO. Yesterday someone thought it would be funny to jump off a tower that is located in front of our school, and I can't resist the urge to punsh every damn whiney 'Uhh, he commited suicide, how sad!"-guys right into the face much longer. Bah! :pinkiesick:
You know, the cool thing of the internet is that you can cry out whatever is pushing your mind without being in fear that someone will come and send you to a psychiatrist.

P.S. Yea, I choose you to be the victim of my spam that is too creepy to be heard by the oh-so-moralic folks around here. So don't hope to get rid of me before I'm getting banned or something like that. :twilightblush:

290816 You know I just uploaded the last part a day early coz of you, right? Haha. Enjoy!

290279

It's not a reference. I just made it up. That was basically my thanks to you for being so damn awsome.

290870 mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/img/mlfw333_130394404835.png

Oh you! :heart:

Here's something I wrote just the other minute to even things up...

“But you know what they say about beginnings,” Discord murmured, looking up as well. “Everything that has a beginning, has an ending.”

The sky exploded. The sun and the moon collided with a shattering roar that shook the heavens to their foundations, the moon cracking and buckling under the sun’s immense size and heat. Celestia watched on, her mouth hanging open limply as the moon shattered completely, huge burning chunks plummeting down from the heavens. The sun distorted as coronas of light stretched away, forced outwards by the force of the moon’s impact.

You bless me with Twilight, a heart, and an epic piece of literature?
Words can not describe... *passes out*

*wakes up 15 min later*

"What? What happened?"

*looks at computer screen*

*falls unconscious once again*

290937 Hehe, it's from something which hopefully should be coming your way sooner rather than later!

290949

I will patiently await, until the clouds part, and the entire sum of your brilliance comes crashing down upon the earth.

For now, I must get back to work on my own story.

Good luck, and may Celestia grant you an especially bright sun to light your path.
Also, have a musta. :moustache:

Hey, Hey, Hey! No! Nonono! "A handful of people that care"? NO! You don't get to pull the modesty act! :twilightangry2:

I mean you are AWARE that your stories are incredible right? You have to be AWARE that you have a natural talent for writing. :pinkiehappy:

I mean PLLLEASE! I was one of the first people to read the beginning of The Sun Whispers Your Name And you blew my freakin' mind. As in the whole brain jus' exploded an' in my final moments I was like, "Dude... This should get featured." And behold! There it was up in the feature box so I'm just like, "WHAAAAT DAA FUUU-" And my insides were overwhelmed with joy! and happiness! and sunshine for you!

...so

DON'T ACT MODEST! THINK YOU'RE BETTER TH- (headshot):twilightblush:

292252 Hahaha, The Sun Whispers was a fluke! :trollestia: But seriously, Hell's Traitor always had a much small target audience, so I am not at all surprised by how quiet it is. I like to think of it as a story just for my watchers, haha.

It's ok, though, because I have some 'real' stories on the way. Hopefully they will manage to get some lift!
