    Lifes DM to you that you're a psycho

    So on October 28th I suffered a stroke while at work. In denial, I stayed at work, then drove 60+ miles from Orlando to my home in Lakeland. I stayed in denial (it's just a pinched nerve) right up to the point where I lost control of my bladder and the right side of my face went numb. By that point there wasn't anything they could do to mitigate the damage. You have 4 hours people. I didn't

    You'll Get It When It's Ready, But I'm Not Dead Yet. Also Sneak Peak

    See title. Work is work, and not a lot of time to write. I'm still around, I'm just as tired of answering the when is the next chapter coming out question as you are of asking them. I know it's shitty, I know I've let it sit too long, but it is what it is. This is why I don't accept donations for fanfiction. It remains a hobby, and thus very low on the to do list of my wellbeing.

    Update 2: Beta Editing Received, Performing Hard Edit, Finishing and Adding Omake

    I've received preliminary 2nd draft copy from a beta reader. I'm currently performing my first hard read out loud edit of the whole mess. Initial reports are about what I expected. Part of the difficulty of writing this chapter is that it was always going to be a set up, explanatory type chapter. Making it interesting is a serious challenge, but I felt as though if I DIDN'T show the

    New Chapter of Quantum Castaways, Rough Draft Completed, Sent to Prereaders for first Editing Pass

    Hey folks. Just a quick message to anyone who still cares, I have tentatively finished the rough draft for a new chapter of Quantum Castaways. Current draft weighs in at right around 12000 words, and that WILL change as the editing process moves along. Bear in mind that it has been a long, hard road to get this material out. It is a Frankenstein nightmare of bits and pieces jumbled together

    Ethics of Fanfiction

    So as everyone who pays any attention to the comments and blog posts and what have you knows, I've been having a really rough time of it. This last year has, frankly, been hell. I've had a couple of people offer to donate money, for which I am extremely grateful, but it actually brings up a topic of some interest to me.

Quantum Castaways Landmark · 7:02am Aug 24th, 2012

Quantum Castaways broke 1000 favorites today, for anyone who actually cares about that kind of stuff. Not bad, for a two character MLP story whose largest piece of action to date has involved running from a star wars critter.

The thing that I love? Well, aside from all of you guys, that is...

The fact that I have worked the phrases:

"fucked like a demon"

and

"stop, I'll pee"

Into a MLP story without bursting into flames.

Also Twilight being vomited in by a dinosaur is fucking hilarious to me. I don't know why. I've been wanting to write that scene for a month now. Seriously, I think the rootscrapers EXIST mostly for THAT scene.

I'm such a kid.

I have no problem with that. :pinkiehappy:

rootscrapers EXIST mostly for THAT scene

A fulfilling purpose. :derpytongue2:

There's always that line or two that an author loves the most when they manage to work it in. I'll give you props for those two by the way. Especially one coming from Twilight...

Well, theoretically the way it was written, it could have been Marshall saying it, but I know what my preference is. I think it's funny if Marshall said it, but fucking hilarious if it was Twi.

I once met a man who I described as 'a demented 5-year-old with a Ph.D. [in Astrophysics]'.
I see you as a demented 5-year-old with a Ph.D. [in literature], WITHOUT A PH.D!!
...
That is all.

Much as I'd love to read the new chapter right now, I unfortunately have to wait. Though I expect it to be quite worth the time.

Keep the good work coming.

Also Twilight being vomited in by a dinosaur is fucking hilarious to me.

:twilightoops:

That's just unpleasant no matter who you are.

Baby birds notwithstanding.

I can't shake the feeling someone/pony else is going to show up next. Dunno why, but. . . its there. I'll just have to see where this next goes hmm? :trixieshiftleft: :trixieshiftright:

I agree, they get along quite well enough for that to be a possible direction.

That's one of the things I love about your story so much. The fact that you can incorporate lines and situations that will make me cry laughing, while still keeping up a serious air while needed, is a major feat indeed. I can safely state that this is either my second favorite, if not, my favorite fic to this date. Can't wait for the next chapter! :yay:
