    You know the one.


    A sheaf of papers, prefaced with a short letter, all written in a sturdy, simple hand.

    Hey folks! I should've done this days ago, apparently, but the awesome Twilight's Book Nook at Everfree Northwest has copies of Completely Safe Stories!

    A new project, and an explanation!

    Hey folks,

    Alternate title for this blog post: I'm Doing a Thing (and I'm looking for help)

    I don't think anyone is surprised that my pony writing has been on a bit of a hiatus for a while, and my presence on this site is mostly to lurk-and-read rather than finish my long-delayed stories. What you might not know, though, is what I've been doing instead of pony writing.

A new story, "The Lamia," and appearing on a live web thing in a few hours! · 11:16am Oct 28th, 2016

Hey folks,

I just hit the Submit button on my latest comedy, a story about the difficulty of overcoming addiction and its toll on your friends and family.

Or something like that. I mean, look, this isn't a science.

The Lamia

Oriole has a problem. She can't stop eating stallions.

Rarity has a problem. Her new friend can't stop eating stallions.

Twilight Sparkle has a problem. A stallion-eating monster has moved into her town.

Spike's just glad he's not a stallion.

Sometimes people ask me where I get ideas for my comedies.

I don't know, man. I don't know.


In other news, I'll be appearing on The Good HiE List Podcast in about 12 hours!

"But Gardez," you say, "you've never written an HiE fic!"

And, er, yes. That's technically correct. But fortunately I'll be on the podcast to talk about writing in general, and ponies in particular. And, of course, you know my saying: Stories about ponies are stories about people. So, really, every pony story is an HiE.

Catch the madness at https://www.twitch.tv/mikesnipe on Friday at 6:00PM CST / 4:00PM PST. There's a thread going here where people are posting questions. Your mileage may vary.

That description. I cannot resist this.

Haha nope.

I have like the most absurd but very real phobia about cannibalism, a thing I've never even encountered!

Also, interesting. Had no idea the Good HiE List had a podcast.

A diet is always so difficult to maintain, particularly when around so much temptation.

A+ on the description.
