    State of the Author, december 2023

    Here we are. Another year is almost over. The winter solstice is around the corner, along with any number of special holidays. It's a white Christmas in Oslo. The snow came relatively early here this year, falling in November and staying ever since, with every apparent intention to stick it out until spring. And I am sitting at home resting and relaxing, also, until spring.

    New story: The Queen's Speech

    You know, we as a community have not grappled enough with the fact that in the movie Queen Haven was deposed and arrested, broke out of jail, and then went right back to being queen after as if nothing had happened. Girlboss.

Discourse on Fillies, now in the Royal Canterlot Library! · 1:22pm Jul 2nd, 2016

The feature is now up on the RCL webpage! :pinkiehappy: Go check it out!

It will be cross-posted to FIMFiction in two weeks. I said earlier it would be next week, but since next weekend is Bronycon, a large chunk of the fandom will be otherwise occupied and it will be held over for the week after instead.

Go check it out, and if you have any thoughts on the review or interview I'd love to read them :twilightsmile:

I thought the interview ran some obvious questions, but your answers were what made me keep reading. Entertaining, informative, and brilliant IMO, just as I've always said about you from the get-go.

...and now I find myself wanting to debate someone. I guess I'll end up talking to an old friend to see what we can discuss :derpytongue2:

Let us debate which anime would be best ponified :coolphoto:

4063059

Lol, if you're serious, I'd say Highschool DxD, and, even though most hate it, I'd also say Sword Art Online.

Hmm...though I'd also like to see Ace Attorney ponified. I admit, I do like the current anime of it :twilightblush:

Congratulations. This really was one of the best Diamond Tiara stories I've read, particularly since it's actually nuanced and doesn't simply present a cardboard cut-out villain or a pony that is secretly a doormat when figures of authority are before her.

If you haven't already, you should check out "Turnabout Storm," provided it hasn't been taken down from YouTube.

Oh, I have. Admittedly, it's what got me into Ace Attorney to begin with. :twilightblush:

You deserve it. The fic was brilliantly written. It's nice to see actual effort is recognized. Did you have to research things like Machiavelli? i'd imagine that took some time to apply a lesson that was relevant.

Thanks, and congrats to you too.

Thanks. And well, I'd been interested in Machiavelli for some time, and had read a lot about him before. Once I started thinking about DT, I realized there was a lot of Machiavelli in her. So I got to draw on a lot of what I'd already read.
