Shenanigans


Hello, Sirius Shenanigans here! I am a martial artist with a hankering for humor. My primary intention is to create stories with original characters. MLP characters are great, but they aren't mine...

    Jokers Wild has a new form

    So its finally starting to look like Joker's Wild is done in its first draft form. Its been a while. Maybe 3 or 4 years, but I've created a whole new original setting for the characters of Joker's Wild to become their own thing. Its currently at about 151k words, and I only have about 1 chapter left and an epilogue for this first book. I don't know if anybody still reads these, but I am

    Going Wild

    New Chapterette is posted for Joker's Wild. It has been an interesting few weeks and I've got some news, good and bad, but its stuff that has got to happen. Lately, I haven't been feeling as strongly about Fallout Equestria. I've had a falling out with some members of the community and I find I'd make myself unwelcome if I stayed around in those places, but even before that I think I always had

    Humor Theory: Law of Threes

    WARNING: Dissecting live jokes is really not as fun as hearing them.

    In comedy they have this wonderful little thing they always like to tell you that sounds like its totally full of shit and 1000% arbitrary. Comedy comes in threes. Its a tried and true method that some people believe with their heart and soul, and while it doesn't always work, it can be a really effective method for some.

    500 View, 50+ Followers, and almost 2 years now.

    For other fics, this probably just an early milestone, but at least in FOE, I'm really excited to have been able to reach this point. Every once in a while, I see that there are a few more views and it amazes me every time. Its been 2 years since I started planning out Joker's Wild, and its really coming together. I'm humbled that people have been willing to give it a look, and I really

    Long Awaited Arrivals, a chapter 1 review, Stand Up Comedy, and Old World Blues.

    Its been awhile since I made one these! I've been kicking around for a while doing my own thing. Chapter 4.4 went well, and my team and I have been working really hard on the New chapter. If you looked at the newest entry, you probably realized that this is not actually the chapter 4 finale, to which I obligatorily say "You're no fun anymore." I'm kicking myself for not labeling the chapter "And

Why so long with the chapters? · 1:54am Mar 2nd, 2016

So, a new part has been published and I am very happy about that. It's been far too long. It's been some time, and I have finished the first portion of my Teaching English as a Second Language (Tesol) course the last couple of weeks. Recently some struggles have brought up something that I didn't know about myself, which is that I might be suffering of OCD. I have an obsession with doing things well. I will focus on one thing and strain my brain for hours on the proper means of doing things, trying to make sure it is perfect. In combination with ADHD, it means it takes forever to get through things. I think it has lead to some interesting plans for how I go about thinking and writing things, but it means it takes me a long time to get things published. I'm going to be fighting this the best that I can, but its probably going to be hard. I appreciate those who have liked Joker's Wild or favorited it. The support helps a lot. This is a problem that has come to a head and I can't ignore it anymore. I'm going into therapy for this, and hopefully I will be able to fight it better.

As for things with Joker's Wild. We have lots of fun things coming in the next bit. We have 12k more of chapter 3, and chapter 4 is already 27k strong, and counting. Hopefully I can get edits in more quickly than last time. The story is starting to get really revved up. I want this to be able to jump straight into the real stuff, instead of waiting 20 chapters to get somewhere. I want your interest from the beginning. This is an irreverent story of freedom in the wasteland, bindings of fate from the past, and the conflict between the two. The goal is to write something that strikes you as different from other FOE stories, but familiar enough that it is a good time. I work really hard on these. I am not perfect, but I try.
