    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    Blinded by Delight

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

Update! And poem · 6:07pm Oct 23rd, 2016

Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon just updated, but it is not appearing in your notifications, I don't think. So here's a blog telling you to go check up on it, there should be a link around here somewhere. Oh! Yes, there it is, right down there at the bottom, past the poem I wrote to make this blog feel less empty.

At the midnight hour the wild men stir, foul creatures of the night
To walk and gawk but never talk, they're quite a horrid sight
There's eerie quiet at this time, it draws their bleary eyes
And none that dwell within the day, it's them that they despise

The moon glows bright far overhead, it draws the madmen's gaze
They'll dub it "muse", though not amused, and set upon their ways
Some wild men take to typing, and write their clever words
And others take to music, if the silence not preferred.

Some prefer to mix bright inks, true colours they proclaim
And shun the sun and its bright light, ne'er their palette shall it stain
For in the night the wild men roam, alone with their ideas
Creating for upright walking men, the people that they fear

We call these creatures "artists" in whispered, hushed tones
We call these creatures "dreamers" who feel things in their bones
We call these wild men "creatives" who speak truths to the heart
And we leave them to their lonesome, so they can play their part.

It's been tweaked three times since you commented, I want you to know.

4267909 You're getting good at the whole transparency thing.

4267911

The irony is, I didn't realize I wasn't transparent until it was revealed to me.

It showed up in my feed. It's ~5h behind this.

It's not showing up in most people's story updates though, so I'm trying to double down on feed notifications.

Clearly it hath overwhelm'd the automata with its singular bright romance of gleaming brass and hardened librarians!

(It's really, really good, everyone).

Yeah, I see the update in my feed, but not in my unread chapters list. I unfavorited and re-favorited it, and now it's there.

Funny, it showed up in mine this morning. Computers, hey? What're ya gonna do?

Just out of curiosity, did you edit the chapter or muck about with it after publishing?

I have noticed that tends to make the notification gubbins go all wonky.

The publish button cycled a few times when I clicked it before the chapter update stuck. Super weird.
