    Random snippet to prove I’m still alive

    “I got the time off!” The familiar voice emanating from the landline handset was jubilant.

    A broad grin crossed Sunset’s face. “Great! Y’know, I can’t remember the last time both our vacation times lined up.”

    “Four years, seven months, and twelve days.” The dry, and dryly humorous, reply came back instantly. “But who’s counting?”

    So, uh, yeah, I’m here. I guess I should have mentioned it earlier, but it slipped my mind. Better late than never, I guess.

    Tidbits

    Yes, I’m still around, though I still have nothing substantive for Fimfiction—and I’m not sure when, if ever, I will again. All I’ve got at the moment is a handful of random morsels from my tiny but active mind.

    Not naming names [writing tips]

    As I’ve mentioned here and there, one of the (many) rules I generally abide by when writing for Twin Canterlots is: avoid using real-world names wherever possible. It’s harder than it seems—especially when one considers indirect coinages as well as direct references—and I don’t always succeed, but in general I find ways to skirt them most of the time. For the handful of people who

Ask Lectern, Rose, or Cook anything · 5:57pm Oct 25th, 2017

Eh, what the heck, some audience participation time. Got questions for Grimoire Lectern, Rose Brass, or Cookie Pusher? Ask away! I’ll reply with answers in character. Depending on how it goes, elements might end up in stories.

First question, from Rose Quill to Rose Brass, has been answered!

Comments ( 4 )

Ms. Brass, in the wake of your charges being offered the opportunity to return to their world of origin, has there been any change in their outlook? Also, in light of the events of Adagio's attempted suicide, has her outlook drastically changed towards her sisters?

Rose rocks a little on her tired old swivel chair. “Mm, that’s hard to say just yet. They’re going through a lot right now, and it’s tough to untangle just how much—and what kind of—influence any single factor is having. Doc W seems to think in the long run it’ll be positive overall, but in the short term it’s yet another question on a long, long list they’re struggling to understand, let alone answer. Not only are they going through all the usual difficulties of adolescence, they have this whole extra pile of issues on top of that. It’s rough going. They certainly haven’t come to any kind of decision, and I wouldn’t expect them to for quite a while. Just between us, though, my guess is they’ll end up staying.”
   A brief smile lights her face. “As for Adagio’s relationship with Aria and Sonata, I can state without reservations she’s opening up more. Well, all three of them are, but I think a big part of it for her is realizing how much they still need her. She’s the smartest, and more of a natural leader, so the challenge will be redirecting her bullying into a healthier dynamic. They do backslide once in a while, of course, but they’re making progress, a little at a time.”

Thank you for your time. Please extend my warmest regards to them at your convenience.

Tempted to have the Princess of Compassion or the Princess of Joy ask a question just so the time-bending-universe-spanning-sixteen-wall-break we all know it will be.
