    Announcing Writing Commissions!

    For the first time ever, I am open to writing commissions!

    I'm sticking to familiar fandoms like MLP, High Guardian Spice, etc, for now, though in future I may expand to original stories. I am charging £10 per 1000 words with the only restriction being no explicit NSFW stories (explicit sex, extreme gore, character torture and the like), though non-sexual nudity is fine.

    High Guardian Spice: Flawed Brilliance and Fantasy Fun (Spoiler review/analysis)

    (Note: This is an updated review to include a greater discussion of spoilers, and to elaborate on one or two points I could have made clear.)

    TL;DR: Though far from perfect, primarily due to the rough-around-the-edges animation, High Guardian Spice does a wonderful job in presenting its fantasy coming of age story, building on common heroic fantasy tropes to great effect.

    High Guardian Spice: Setting a High Bar for Future Western Animation

    Despite all the delays, High Guardian Spice is finally here! I will admit upfront that I have some level of bias, since I'm a non-binary fantasy nerd who loves all things magical and colourful. This show was always going to be on my radar, but has it lived up to my lofty expectations?

    My Little Pony: A new Generation

    My Little Pony: A New Gen is a mixed bag. It has a good setup that builds itself on the legends of FiM, and is a film about the monsters we make ourselves to be. It shows how prejudice and stereotype can be pervasive in culture, playing on our fears of the out-group. It's just a shame the story beats feel so forced, with a portion of the cast being under-developed. The resolution also feels

Musical Inspirations and Story Updates · 11:28pm Mar 24th, 2017

If there's one thing my readers should know about me, is that I am a MASSIVE Power Metal fan. Dragonforce, Sabaton, Stratovarius, Power Wolf, Power Quest, Freedom Call and all that jazz metal. I've referenced Metal songs in my fic titles and often base ideas of specific songs. So for the longest time, I have been desiring to complete a fic that defines the word EPIC.

And that is why I am currently dedicated to writing and finishing the project that I have been working on for the past month or so, "Siege of the Crystal Empire". I also want to write more metal-inspired one shots, but those tend to be a bit fickle with the story and character formats.

What does this mean for my far too many unfinished projects? Well, Sacred and Wild is not NOT going to be completed. I know exactly how I want to end that, but you peeps know how fickle inspiration can be.

Dance of Death will also be finished once Sacred and Wild is done, but I am struggling a little with the second act to develop the protagonist while still escalating the threat. It's rather annoying for me as an author, but I'm confident I'll get it eventually.

This along with any other unfinished works (that are not Sacred and Wild) are officially on Hiatus. Hopefully I can create something that will be worthy of Power Metal songs like the one I linked above. Even if they are one shots for when flashes of inspiration strike, at least there will be stuff to entertain everypony!

As a side note, I do want to return to writing original fantasy fiction in the summer; particularly to create my own fantasy universe which is all themed around naturism. This is something I've wanted to do for ages now, and finally I think I have enough ideas to make it a reality!

I will link to my Deviant Art when content resumes on there. Thank you all very much for your patience and support of my fics! Take care of yourselves :).
