Once upon a time, I dreamt of being a mad scientist when I grew up. After much consideration, I realised that science is quite hard. So I became a mad writer instead, which is much easier. True story.

    So for anyone who follows me but has not seen the latest chapter or Wild Card: Two of a Kind, here's the general message of my author's note:

    Song Lyrics Fiasco

    Apparently there's some butthurt rangers going round reporting fics that have song lyrics in them, which is against the rules or something. So yeah, I'm gonna be doing some editing on the earlier chapters to cut out lyrics and avoid getting my ass sued by people with more money than God.

    And that last sentence should pretty much sum up my feelings on this whole matter.

    My apologies

    No update for Wild Card this week I'm afraid. Just not feeling it at the moment. I'll be back when I manage to get out of this funk I'm stuck in at the moment. Honestly, I just want to get this story over and done with, but can't find the inspiration to write anything that doesn't look like complete tripe.

    Sigh

    See you next week probably.

    Wild Card Updates

    No chapter this week I'm afraid. I'm away on a visit to the university that I'll (hopefully) be going to in a couple of months as part of an induction weekend. Whilst this does mean that I don't have access to my computer (writing this on my Ipod at the moment) and, thus, cannot do any writing or uploading, it does mean that I do have access to a load of alcohol and some very cool people.

    Problems

    I have encountered a small problem whilst trying to write the next chapter of Wild Card. A small problem known as the Greater Demon of Writer's Block. Seriously, I have been staring at a piece of paper for about two days now, desperately trying to think of what I want to happen in the next chapter and so far all I've got is: 'maybe a battle of some kind?'

Twilight Sparkle Uses Magic · 10:19am Sep 5th, 2012

I suppose I should announce that I've written a new fic. It's Twilight Sparkle Uses Magic and it is rather mediocre comedy about Twilight trying to cast a simple magic spell and the townfolk getting suspicious that she's going to destroy everything.

It spawned from the trope found in a lot of fics where Twilight Sparkle, magical prodigy and student of the princess, somehow always manages to mess up her magic. Always. You rarely if ever see her actually manage to cast a spell without summoning a human, or destroying the timeline or killing the princesses.

Also, I'd like to apologize for selling out so much with this fic. It's just a silly little one shot I wrote to prove to myself that I could write something that wasn't HiE and I've ended up writing a comedy that has nearly every pony meme I could fit into it.

So...sorry for that.


Despite the rather large flaws of how much of a desperate grab for attention it is I hope you enjoy the story.
