    All About Threats

    I read that scientists, by using magnets, had 'turned off' the threat centres in people's brains, and that this made them 'change their attitudes towards immigrants.' Obviously, the stunning revelation that people don't like immigrants because they feel threatened by them is one that will echo down the ages as a revelation made possible only by scientific brilliance, but given that such

    A Blog Post But as Soon as I Start Getting Grumpy I Stop Typing

    One thing I've noticed a lot of around YouTube recently is videos with 'X but Y' titles. You know, things like 'Dragon Ball Z but every time we see people screaming at each other in a desert the video speeds up', or 'Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart but it's a Pokemon boss-battle theme'. With this in mind, is there any chance of seeing 'Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones but every time Hayden

    An American Fail?

    Apparently the British satirical magazine Private Eye is now listed on numerous 'fake news' sites for having covers like this:

    This, coupled with the existence of the show Friends, leads me to the conclusion that comedy is a largely unpractised art in the USA.

    DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

    I've seen the phrase "Don't read it if you don't like it!" written on quite a lot of fanfictions lately. Granted, I've been seeking out the truly awful ones (sorting the chaff from the wheat, as it were) for my personal collection, so that might explain why I've seen so much of it. Read on for my thoughts.

    50(ish) Followers!

    As I've reached 50 followers, here's a thank you video. Well, slideshow with me talking over the top. Don't quibble, Horatio. A lot of this seems to be because Somepony Tries to Sell Twilight Insurance has just been posted on FIMFiction as part of the Royal Canterlot Library collection. I am, understandably, chuffed to bits.

Ding Dong! · 6:12pm Feb 8th, 2017

My spies inform me that my follower-count has just reached 49. Yes, the subliminal messages implanted in my writings have earned me full nine-and-forty mindless slave drones, all ready for activation.
Now then, to the point. It occurs to me that one of these days (unless irony is feeling particularly cruel), I'm going to have 50 followers, approximately 50 of whom are entirely undeserved. The thing is: do you want me to do anything? I honestly can't think what, but if you have any suggestions, feel free. I don't really know what people tend to do on these occasions. I'm up for most things short of murder and data entry.

Group crack-fic writing with all 50 followers? It might be fun~ :moustache:

The verb, not the adjective.

Well...

I guess you could kick it off with a basic premise, and then get some method for people to give input as it's being made. Maybe each person gets to write two or three paragraphs where they can take it any direction they want, and then the next person has to carry it from there.

It'll either be fun, or a huge nightmare. Either way the result should be interesting.

I'll keep an eye out to see what you do in the end.

Hehe, seems like I was your fateful 49th. Remember me?
