State of the Author: Drunk but Alive · 5:00pm Jul 13th, 2017
Yes, I am a shipper deal with it.
Hello everyone!
Just a warning, I am very drunk as I am writing this, so if something don't make sense I don't apologize.
As most of you know my mom has been diagnosed with leukemia but its a very curable kind, its a rare one that is easy to treat so that is good. Next week I am going up to give bone marrow because we are the same type and will hopefully speed things along. My dad is with her now so everything is working out. Thank you all who contacted me and prayed for me, it meant a lot. I am not a religious man, but it meant the world to me that people did think of her.
Currently I am still working on my entry into Jake the Army Guy's contest, yes I know there is no time left but I still plan to publish it. I am also working on Ghost Rider and Ponyville Bachelor Auction. Yes both are long overdue, but I have my reasons. I hope they will make you happy for I love writing it.
though if you want to help me through this time, I need MacDash and SoarinJack art/stories. I need fluff to read.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I've been a follower of yours for most of the 3 years that I've been a Brony, so to thank you for the good times you've given me here is a list of Mac-centered fics that I've collected over the years. Don't know why but Mac is my favorite character and I just adore romance fanfics centered on him. He has just enough character and mystery about him for writers to take and create wildly different interpretations of him. The template is there you just need creativity and in-story logic and any interpretation can make sense. Well, enough chit-chat here are stories from my personal "mac" folder with my own little descriptions:

Heartwrenching. Check. Cute. Check. Good writing. Check. Excellent characterization. Check. Interesting and unique interactions between Mac and each love interest. CHECK THAT SHIT. It's a lovely Macxharem fic that leaves you wondering who he'll end up with but really you'll find that the writer crafts each pairing so good that in the end you would have been satisfied with any of them. Also has a sequel that I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for updates.

My heart melted at the cuteness in this one. MacDash

Great characterization of Roseluck that makes sense despite the lack of exploration of her character within the show.

Not actually a clop despite the name (though if you're into that kind of thing I can hook you up) a legitimately hilarious fic with a nice romance with Cheerilee that is tastefully done. CheeriMac with other mares throwing themselves at Mac for laughs and feels.

Fun Starlight romance.
And finally the best for last

This fic is one that I just fell in love with. It's a MacxOctavia fic that I legit woke up day after day waiting hoping for an update; it just hooked me that good! I sometimes come back to it just because I love the characterizations and the UH! CAN'T DESCRIBE THE FEELS!
Fair warning to this day I still can't look at the title without the impact of the ending hitting me like a buck to the face.
I've been following your stories for a while. I live in a small village and the lack of a Brony community has left me with nothing but fanfics to keep me attached to the Fandom. Tbh I would have stopped being a Brony a long time ago if there weren't good fanfics and good fanfic writers like yourself.
Keep your head up bud.
I just saw your blog above. I'm so sorry to hear the news. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
