    A quick Slamjam postmortem note

    So, the creator of one of the OCs I wrote about just about flipped his lid at me because I gave his character a gay shipping story, ruining his message of platonic bromance and emotionally vulnerable heterosexual dudes.

    Part 1: Poetry

    “But I hate poetry” well that’s because you’re doing it wrong. A poem of the type that we were told to write in this class is just a short, condensed piece of work that shows who you are and what you do as a writer.

    Lesson 0: Learn the rules before you break them

    I know full well that I'm talking down to a lot of people in this post--my excuse is that writing it out is also a way for me to refresh the lessons in my own mind. Story tags are because I plan to go back and "grade myself" based on my own advice as i write these.

    All is right in ponydom

    I know, I said I would do a thing, and then I didn't.

    I will. I promise. Next post.

    But first, I need to share this with you: a friend has informed me that One Terrible Writer has posted all of his stories, previously thought to be lost forever, on fanfiction.net.

    Knighty HATES him! Honolulu-area baker reveals how to improve your writing with 3 simple rules!

    I’ve seen it a few times, and you probably have too: people will say stuff along the lines of “I bet this person took a community college course in creative writing and now they think they're so great.” It’s a very resonant insult for classists like me. Besides, it’s rooted in fact: the level of literacy needed to pass community college courses in this town is miserably low.

To be more than a pony is to be a pony · 1:17am Aug 30th, 2012

Those of you disappointed in me for letting The Sixth Age fall by the wayside should go read this. I gave this an editing pass a really long time ago, which I suppose is why the author remembered me when he created his fimfiction account.

He followed me, I recognized his name and so peeked over to read his profile, and hey, it's this guy, and he's taken his fic live!

The sci-fi thingy I linked is called Eclipse Phase: Dreamcatcher. Eclipse Phase is a wild and crazy way-way-far-future science fiction roleplaying setting made by the same people who wrote Shadowrun. Shadowrun, of course, inspired "The Sixth Age."

The author has much the same approach that I do when it comes to crossovers. EVERYTHING is ponified, making this as much a sci-fi Equestria as a crossover. It's a lot of fun, it's a very interesting idea, it plays the m6 quite well, and it's competently written. Mostly I just loved the idea when I saw it the first time.
