Midwest Brony. Really appreciate critiques, especially if you catch grammatical errors. I'm far more used to prose and poetry than narrative, so any advice, hate mail, etc. is appreciated.

    Lots of stuff I should discuss...

    So yeah, I'm aware I haven't been very active in fanfic for quite a while. There's several explanations for this, but it really comes down to time. My job has been working me 70 hours a week and I'm too stressed to sit down and write in my free time. On a good note, I will be leaving this job soon and starting a new one mid-June, but this new job will be very time consuming, but far more

    A Public Apology to Purple Tinker, milesprower06, and the Brony Fandom

    tl;dr : I’m sorry the fandom is in an uproar because of my actions.

    I truly loathe that I am in this position right now, but I feel my hand has been forced, and I must make a public statement about a bit of uproar in the fandom that while I had no direct involvement, I still feel somewhat responsible for causing.

    Semblance of Normalcy

    Well, the last three months have been hell, but I'm finally returning to 4 day, 40 hour work weeks. Which means spare time. And no distractions, because I'm also single again. Maybe I can finally get some writing done.

    Thanks for your patience

    The last two days have been my first chance in weeks to get some writing done.
    Unfortunately, I spent both days in bed, sick as a dog...
    I have the rest of Gravity planned out, just need the time to writie it. Soon I'll be done training employees and back to four day, 50 hour work weeks instead of my current five day, 65+ hours.

    I Should Be Dead Right Now (LPU Relief Auctions!!!)

    So... The last 24 hours have put a lot of my life into perspective. As the blog title implies, I really should be six feet under right now, and it's a small miracle I'm alive.

*Obligatory Thank You Post* · 1:42am Sep 8th, 2012

Not gonna' lie, today was a good day.

I was already in a good mood when I woke up to get the email that my story was posted, and right before I left for work, I already felt my day was 20% cooler, on account of the new Piano Man chapter and getting some feedback and a fav from one of my favorite writers, Steel Resolve.

Like I said, not gonna' lie. Like every time I first post a story, I was eager to see resposne, but all day at work I was just looking forward to coming home to finish reading the Piano Man chapter.

Then I got a message from someone on skype that Gravity hit the feature box...

You people are sick, and I love you for it. I just got home, and seriously, I think my notification box melted while I was gone. This kind of story is still very new territory for me, but I'm glad to see it welcomed with open hooves... Although considering what kind of story it is, I can only guess where your hooves have been...

I plan on getting at least one more chapter of Gravity penned out before I work on anything else, but for now I got a lot of feedback and critique (thank god there were at least some people willing to tell me how much I suck) to go through.

I feel like I have more to say, but I'm just on cloud nine right now and need to relax.

Love and Tolerate

Congrats on getting featured! I know I was psyched when Man About Town got the feature box, but that was after about 7 chapters. But you getting it on the first one? I'm not sure if it's just because so many people like it, you got lucky, or because you're already an accomplished writer, but that's impressive nonetheless.

As for the story itself, I have to say that I really enjoyed it. Not many people can make RariDash enjoyable for me, but you pulled it off well. How you plan to do the other pairings, I have no idea, but that's part of the excitement, isn't it? :raritywink:
Oh yeah, and you had the perfect length for a story of this sort, 7k words is just above short and just below lengthy for a single chapter. I don't want to be that guy, but I know plenty of people would love for this story to take priority.
