Belated Blog Post · 5:22am Feb 27th, 2017
Man, I'm way behind on the blog . . . well, on everything, really. I'd meant to do this blog last weekend . . . . Where did February go?
Anyways, let's start from the top. Sollace drew a lovely picture of Silver Glow raiding the bird feeder. I love the angry birds flying around her--they'll just have to wait their turn. The Silver Glow giveth, and the Silver Glow taketh away.
Second up, I recently found out that Obabscribbler did a reading of The Noise Under Pinkie Pie's Sink. Do give that a listen. It's a little bit early for April Fool's day, but might as well get in the mood, am I right?
Thirdly, I am playing catchup to comments on Silver Glow's Journal, in the hopes of not being a month behind. But I doubt I'm gonna get to the end anytime in the immediate future . . . having said that, I can assure you that I read all the comments straightaway, even if I'm not so good at replying to them in a timely manner. And I want to thank everyone who's been reading and commenting.
Which segues nicely into my next subject: my other fics. I've had a few people ask me if/when Onto the Pony Planet will get a new chapter. I don't have an exact timeframe for y'all yet; having said that I am no more than two weeks from the end of Silver Glow's Journal, and then I'll be getting back to other stories, some of which have languished for far too long. For some reason I was under the illusion that I could write a ludicrous amount of words per day while working two jobs; it turns out that I can only write a ridiculous amount of words in one day.
From the Wiki
Oh, and finally, I got me a display case for all my ponies. It's like four feet long and three feet high and two feet deep and of course not all of my pony action figures fit in it, not by a long shot. But it's a start. A hundred or so of them have a new home now. I'll try to remember to post a pic of it some day.
Just take a day off of work lol.
wow, how many do you have?
I haven't gotten into you other stories much yet. I'm going to read through a bit of my waitlist first then start.
OPP will be updating again?!? I've been hoping and wishing for more of that!
Two weeks?
14 more chapters to go boys!
4437731 If Biscuit is like me, a lot. Of course my pony merch is way more than just figures at this point, because I have 4.5 years of Convention Swag I've built up. But lie, unless you are trying to stare into a corner it is nearly impossible to be in my bedroom and not have at least one, and often times a dozen+ pony things in direct view.
Also Biscuit, I am curious to see how Baron Engel's Silver Glow comes out. And dang that mare has a complicated Cutie Mark.
Noice.
OMC I love the bird feeder it is perfect.
I have to admit, I'm more than a month behind on Silver Glow's Journal. I suppose the bright side is that I can't fall much further behind.
In any case, great bit of fanart for it.
Well, That's good you didn't reach ludicrous.
I've amassed a small collection myself. Most of which I have displayed in my office at work.
4437823
I can't wait to see it!
There's a Baron Engle of Silver Glow coming!
I so wish I had seen that picture earlier, it's just perfect!
I vote for it to be the new cover art for the story!
4437932 Yea, he posted the sketchwork on DA a couple weeks ago, it looks adorbs so far!
Is that Pinkie Pie story supposed to be funny? Because it isn't.

4438015
Wow! It looks great. Thanks for the heads up! It didn't come across my DA Watch list for some reason.
I love Sollace's piece here. Particularly the little detail of the tuft of hair Meghan seems to be always pushing back behind SG's ear. :squee:
I'm still behind on that by >100 chapters.
Lesson for everyone: Never use an image directly from the wiki. They're full of poop.

... forgetting to blog, fic readings, trying to catch up... yeah yeah yeah.
YOU HAVE MY COMPLETE AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION! PLEASE POST PICTURES!

*insert rapid sexual panting here*
Kidding about EVERYTHING before the display case - THAT I am DEATHLY SERIOUS ABOUT.
4437819 ahh, I don't really do the whole collection thing much (I'm also broke and still move around a lot so that doesn't help). I'm also pretty quiet about me being a brony.
"Ponies are for hugging, not yelling." But they're much more emotion absorbent
I am only a hundred or so chapters behind in that story (its my phone story for when I have a few short minutes but not enough to whip out the ol Kindle)
4437731
I wish. Man, it's tempting.
I don't know. I always figured that a hundred was the difference between a hobby and an obsession, so I stopped counting when I got to a hundred. And that was like two years ago. And not counting plushes, t-shirts, and so on.
Yay! And speaking of a hundred being the cutoff between a hobby and an obsession . . . well, I crossed that hundred mark with fics, too.
4437735
Yes indeed!
4437772
Probably not even 14, but I gave myself a little wiggle room, 'cause I tend to be kind of verbose.
4437819
Pfft, you can do that in nearly every room in my house. And two of my cars. Well maybe not a dozen, but at least one.
So am I! I didn't know it was on his DA. . . .
4437845
4437870
I love the pissed-off birds. That's the best detail, in my mind.
4437891
Yeah, it's reached rather absurd lengths. I guess since it's a daily that's to be expected. But there is an ending coming.
Caught me totally by surprise, too. Sollace mentioned it a while back and then all of a sudden out of the blue there it was.
And like a total jerk, it took me a week to blog about it.
4437932
I came dangerously close, I can tell you that.
4437962
I did consider changing the cover art, but I kind of don't like doing that, because people get used to seeing one thing, y'know?
4438069
If you don't like dark comedy, it's not the story for you. I won't deny that.
4438092
I hadn't even noticed that--that's a great little touch!
4438106
Well, the good news is pretty soon you'll start catching up, since we're very close to the end, now.
I used to bounce images to imgur and then use them but that doesn't work anymore.
4438697
As you wish:

Some peoples like to collect money, or comic books, or stamps... An then some like to collect action figurines from My Little Pony.
That's a hobby like another...
Yeah I know, I'm one of these people who got used to it. I would be very weirded out if it changed someday.
4438760
I'm selective about who I tell. The people who think I'm crazy, well it's not going to change their opinion one way or another.
4440142
So yell at ponies?
img07.deviantart.net/9eea/i/2013/146/d/d/sad_fluttershy_by_refro82-d66h9k1.png
I couldn't make Fluttershy cry.
4440503
That's probably the best way to read it.
4441292 nah, dont shout at the shy one. Shout at the blue and purple one
4441286
Grizzly Man and Into the Wild are "dark comedy."
That is http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror
4441289
... I think I just fangasmed. Let me get a towel.
WOW! That is... spectacular! The display case is very nice of course, but the COLLECTION is ASTOUNDING! I am FLOORED!

You can still bounce pony ones to derpibooru though (if they're not already there).
But ah wanted to catch up before the end!
I'm going to have to pick up my pace. 5 chapters a day just ain't cutting it.
sIX chapters a day!
4441276 Some of us don't own the entire house
Also I am half-expecting the journal to end with some sort of terrorist attack.
4441292
Course that puts my projected finish at sometime NEXT year at the earliest
4441273
lol, that's probably smart.
i'm probably going to stick to the larger ones. I'm not a huge 1 shot person.
I just don't feel like explaining it for the most part. It's just easier to not tell anyone. Only two people who know me IRL know i'm a brony, and one of them is the one who introduced me to the show.
4441296
4441364
It's usually the non-pony ones that I need. Like a picture of my broken keyboard, for example.
Madness. Pure madness.
4441389
They're in my parent's house, too. And my brother's.
My dad, in particular, enjoys arranging the ponies.
pre06.deviantart.net/2a94/th/pre/f/2014/338/c/e/knight_riding_pinkie_pie_by_admiral_biscuit-d88q06f.jpg
I don't recall there being a notable one on New Year's Eve.
4441574
On the plus side, though, you'll get to enjoy the story for longer.
4442375
Well, that's understandable. I've hit pretty much every genre by now, so I can't assume that everyone will like everything that I've written anyways. And I know some people like long stories that they can get their teeth in, and other people like something that short and done.
Yeah, it does really make a difference who you know and so on. It's funny, I'm more hesitant to admit to writing fanfiction than I am to letting people know I'm a brony.
4452955
True, very true.
4452953 You could have been a giant troll and wrenched history at that point!
4452953
>is still using the ant-sized Twilight Sparkle picture.
>.>
Ah, yes. For those I just use ulraimg.
4452976
No, I couldn't do that. It's not in my nature.
4452989
Now it's been replaced.
