    May not be writing at the moment, but...

    I have been starting to pop up on Twitch from time to time. If you're ever interested in poking your head in, take a gander over here. I'm actually about to go live here in a few.

    Saying Adios to a Friend

    So, folks... I'm sure most, if not all of you, know Obselescence in some way or another. For quite some time, he's been a moderator here, and organizer of quite a few story competitions and unexpected fads. Go stop by and wish him well, if you'd like. He had a large impact on me over the years, it's sad to see him go.

    Status Update

    Next chapter is currently sitting at 2,500 words out of the 4,000 or so that I've set as a goal for chapter size. It's a bit hard going, I know what I want to write, but writing it is another story altogether. Once I have the rough draft finished, it's going to need a fair bit of work to get it up to a posting standard, but hopefully I'm thinking two to three days until it's ready for

    Want some more Batpony/Thestral-centric content? Take a gander!

    So, two of my long time friends on the site here (Talking shortly after creating accounts, both of whom have poked at my stuff on and off for some time now) have recently come together to work on something that is heavily centered around a created society of thestrals. They've told me it should be quite an interesting read, and I'm inclined to agree, having seen some of the content they're

    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas to all! Enjoy the day, wherever you may be, whomever you may be with. Go watch some Christmas movies, have some holiday cheer... I suggest watching Home Alone 2. Or Die Hard. Both are excellent ones to watch.

Progress on the Homefront, err, Story Front! · 12:39am Apr 17th, 2016

All,

So, now that my period of isolationism from pony is over, I've been going over all of my stories, trying to think up ideas, thoughts, directions, etc, to take them, as well as try to find motivation to start writing again. Dedicating time towards an action that, in itself, is not that much fun is hard to pull off.

I'd initially considered writing a new story, partially due to my heavy interest in the contents, plus to find my writing standards again, essentially Twilight in the storyline of Fallout 4 with the twist of the magic of friendship included changing the outcome, but after more thinking, that has been set aside in favor of a current story.

As the tagged story gives it away, despite it being one of my less popular stories (Odd to say that, as it is still excellently followed in my opinion) I want to continue work on The Worst Nightmare of my Life first. I had quite a fair bit planned out that I have not forgotten, and the story has just started... Much easier to pick up and continue off from where I was that way, plus the content is something that is still very appealing to me. Thestrals/Batponies and Nightmare Moon. Plus, the first three parts aren't in too bad of a shape, only some minor editing needed to fix things like typos, repetition, what have you. So, while I still have not yet actually written anything, the next scene, and those that follow, are already being planned out.

Just thought I'd let you all know that yes, I do plan on writing, and no, at this time, nothing incomplete is canceled, despite the massive time gap now since my last updates. Writing was an escape tool and coping mechanism for issues I was going through, but I need to associate it with other things now. So, here's to hoping I can get a chapter out in the next few weeks, then find some level of consistency. I currently plan on trying to take this story through to its completion before moving on, and slowly culling those incomplete tags to be green. Hopefully.

Cheers to you all, and thanks for the following even after all this time of no real significance. It means a lot to me that you're still following me, even if I've disappointed so much.

Thats great! Do you have an idead on which story you'll work on after Nightmare?

Welcome Back Spacecowboy.

You are one the best authors on this website and I love all the stories that you have written.

See you Space Cowboy

Glad to see you back in the game!

It's good to see that not all the writing veterans of this site are leaving. I always really enjoyed your work and I hope to see continuations of your stories. Like for example, (Re)Birth.
