Shenanigans


Hello, Sirius Shenanigans here! I am a martial artist with a hankering for humor. My primary intention is to create stories with original characters. MLP characters are great, but they aren't mine...

    Jokers Wild has a new form

    So its finally starting to look like Joker's Wild is done in its first draft form. Its been a while. Maybe 3 or 4 years, but I've created a whole new original setting for the characters of Joker's Wild to become their own thing. Its currently at about 151k words, and I only have about 1 chapter left and an epilogue for this first book. I don't know if anybody still reads these, but I am

    Going Wild

    New Chapterette is posted for Joker's Wild. It has been an interesting few weeks and I've got some news, good and bad, but its stuff that has got to happen. Lately, I haven't been feeling as strongly about Fallout Equestria. I've had a falling out with some members of the community and I find I'd make myself unwelcome if I stayed around in those places, but even before that I think I always had

    Humor Theory: Law of Threes

    WARNING: Dissecting live jokes is really not as fun as hearing them.

    In comedy they have this wonderful little thing they always like to tell you that sounds like its totally full of shit and 1000% arbitrary. Comedy comes in threes. Its a tried and true method that some people believe with their heart and soul, and while it doesn't always work, it can be a really effective method for some.

    500 View, 50+ Followers, and almost 2 years now.

    For other fics, this probably just an early milestone, but at least in FOE, I'm really excited to have been able to reach this point. Every once in a while, I see that there are a few more views and it amazes me every time. Its been 2 years since I started planning out Joker's Wild, and its really coming together. I'm humbled that people have been willing to give it a look, and I really

    Long Awaited Arrivals, a chapter 1 review, Stand Up Comedy, and Old World Blues.

    Its been awhile since I made one these! I've been kicking around for a while doing my own thing. Chapter 4.4 went well, and my team and I have been working really hard on the New chapter. If you looked at the newest entry, you probably realized that this is not actually the chapter 4 finale, to which I obligatorily say "You're no fun anymore." I'm kicking myself for not labeling the chapter "And

Edits! · 5:58pm Sep 6th, 2016

Hello all! I've been really productive lately! I have been doing edits non-stop for like the last week. Part 2 of Chapter 4 for Joker's Wild is going really smoothly, although I've learned that setting a release date just jinxes me, so I am going to avoid that. I am still ironing out a few kinks, but it is solid. Recently however, I've been making some much needed edits to chapters 1 and 2. I've finished most of my edits for chapter 2, I might make a few more tweaks to make it fit in better. The events don't particularly change, but I have added some lore as well as reinforced the motivations and direction of the story for ease of understanding. If you want to know what you missed out on, I'd primarily read the plant scene in the editor's house and the computer scene with the Pinkie Pie computer. As for edits for chapter 1, I have decided to do a complete overhaul of the events in the chapter. I realized it doesn't identify the type of bond between Calypto and Tumbleweed in the way that I wanted it to, and there is a lot of stuff that is either not funny or a little too cringy for me on rereading it. The events aren't going to be too different but the dialogue and conversations will really change. If you enjoy the story so far but don't feel like going back, I think you will be just fine. The only items of consequence of the chapter is that two strangers become friends in a world where finding a person who operates on the same wavelength can be next to impossible, and in knowing that you have to hold onto the friends that you have, it can be worth diving into a brewing shitstorm just to hold on. It is a chance meeting that shapes the future. A fated meeting. That is all you have to know. If you like the characters and want to see more of them, it might be fun to check back to it.

As for some teaser, the next section focuses on Calypto and Scapegrace. The group is split, but they all have their purposes. Everything will converge on the Ministry of Arcane Science facility.
