2016 and the Road to the Future · 5:28am Jan 5th, 2016
In this Blog, We're going to talk about:
Office Love
1000 Follower Special
ASMR Project
Conventions
We've now entered 2016, and wow have we came a long way. This year marks my three year anniversary of writing, and on March 5th marks my second year on this website. It's hard to believe how far we've come in two years, but I'm sure there's still quite a ways to go. So let's have some fun with it!
2016 is going to mark the largest writing accomplishment of my career. The completion of my longest story ever. Office Love. If you're a follower to me, there's only two stories I politely ask my followers to please read: Man's Best Friend, and Office Love.
Office Love is my longest running and longest overall story I've written. It's an Anime/Dating sim influenced AiE story that has a very slow/gradual pace and mostly original characters. In fear of spoiling anything, I'm going to stop talking there and ask you to please read it yourself.
As the story heads into act 2, we're going to see the story get much darker and see what my original vision for Office Love was. This is a plot that I'm very happy I've put off to this point in my writing 'career' because I don't believe I could have done it justice before.
So, keep tuned into that story. There's a lot coming for it, and I'm very, very excited about it.

Onto the next topic, I think at this point it would be a little foolish to think that I won't hit a 4 digit follower count. So, I think it would be great to celebrate -when- it happens.
I've thought very carefully to myself. Very carefully. What could I possibly give that deserves such a monument? I always knew the answer, but was never sure what I could possibly do to get the story on the website. After attempting to submit it before, it wasn't allowed to rules of the website.
HOWEVER, I think I know what I can do. And I'm happy to announce plans to create: "Parent's Night Out - Fimfiction Edition"
For those who have read me from my /mlp/ roots, the story should easily be recognizable. It's my most popular work. Almost Ever. With an almost unheard 2k reads from /mlp/ alone, it's by large my most read story on my pastebin.
I'm planning a few extra little pieces in the story to make the story allowed on this website, while still keeping to the second person perspective and leave the story at the same point in time.
Why would I do this? Why would I re-associate myself with a story that is considered almost 100% clop with extremely dark themes?
Because, I'm going to break my rule. A rule I've taken from Nebulus himself. I'm going to break my 'No Sequels' rule.
I've thought to myself hard recently about sequels and follow ups. I've always teased that I might create an extension to a story or a full length sequel. However, most of the time I talk myself out of it, because I'd much rather leave people wanting more rather than screw something up in an "optional" extension
However, I've planned on doing Mother Knows Best since the beginning of PNO. So, I'm going to flex some muscles and attempt something brand new. "A sequel that doesn't require the first."
The goal will be to have the Parent's Night Out story come out in Weekly Updates after it's been edited and prepared. and then Mother Knows best come out after Office Love has been completed.

ASMR. I have good news. Our voice actress, xShellah, just recently acquired a new microphone. SO! The ASMR project is back in business and entered the recording stage. With a little bit of hope, we can have that completed as soon as possible.
I never quite know how much I'm allowed to say about this project, but I know I'm very, very excited to see this project come to fruition.

Last but not least, Cons.
The cons I'm planning on attending for this year are: Babscon 2016, Midwest Bronyfest 2016 and Bronycon 2016.
Babs and Bronyfest are confirmed, but We're going to have to see about Bronycon. All of these cons are pretty much out of pocket for me and traveling is very expensive. I'm going to do the best I can to make it out to Baltimore again, but I can't make too many promises.
So. Here we are. At the beginning of a new year. I'm sure I'll be releasing all sorts of new One-Shots, Terrible memes, Random Narrations, Stories and more. I think it's going to be an extremely fun year, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.
Ready to kick some ass?
Well, you're almost at 1000 followers. . . It's been awhile since I got a blog from you, Or rather, a noticeable one.
Oy vey!
We gotta hang at Midwest!
Wow now im interested in office love but scared at the same time! I better catch up on reading before you start writing again.
I highly respect your rule of no sequels but sometimes hate it xD
All i have to say is is don't milk series like 70% authors do here. I highly doubt you would do something like that but still. Hurray for parents night out! and a possible sequel for man's best friend! Im guessing that would be a possible candidate for a sequel since you mentioned wanting to do one for that story as well.
