    Anyone at Trotcon?

    I am. Let me know and I can say hi.

    Also, I've been prepping some chapters of Good Griff to bomb (Steven Unoverse style) and if anyone were interested in editing (I haven't heard from my previous editor, PingSquirrel in a forever) let me know.

    New Year. Resolution.

    TL;DR: Finishing GG this year.

    Long form:
    My god, I haven't posted a blog in a year and a half. I posted that place holder chapter for Good Griff and never actually posted a real chapter. I've really left you guys hanging. (That's kind of a joke there, but for reasons I'm not going to get into.) For that, I'm sorry.

    Dungeons and Discords and Ogres and Oubliettes, oh my!

    I liked the new episode, but I felt like it was a mixed bag. On the one hand, I love the concept of a D&D episode, but I felt like it was poorly executed. The episode felt like it was 2/3 setup. By the time they actually got to the point and Discord put them in the game, I looked at my clock, and it was already 22 minutes into the episode. And then they went to another commercial break. Then they

    PoNYcon NYC!

    Anyone going to be at Ponycon NYC this weekend? I am! I'm helping a friend run his table, so I'll be in one spot most of the time, where you can find me, corner me, and, uh... I don't know. Whatever it is people do. So come on down to My Little Ties in the first floor vendor hall if you want to say hi and shake tentacles. (Note: shaking tentacles highly discouraged as you risk your hand getting

    Season 5 Finale

    Okay, this might get a bit ranty, so bear with me.

    I wanted to like this episode. I knew going into it that it was going to be about time travel. I was psyched. My three favorite story hooks are:
    1) Time travel
    2) Alternate dimensions

New Year. Resolution. · 12:37am Jan 2nd, 2018

TL;DR: Finishing GG this year.

Long form:
My god, I haven't posted a blog in a year and a half. I posted that place holder chapter for Good Griff and never actually posted a real chapter. I've really left you guys hanging. (That's kind of a joke there, but for reasons I'm not going to get into.) For that, I'm sorry.

I know you guys don't really care about the personal stuff I've been going through and just want to read horse words, so you don't want my excuses. I don't really have any to give. I've just been going through an extremely rough time in my personal life and I've been into the hospital a couple times (again, not going to get into why). So on top of the fact that there were some times where I had limited computer access and ability to write is the fact that I've had less motivation than ever and I've had less and less interest in the show lately. There was a time a couple years ago when I was writing stories, making videos, drawing art, and checking EQD every hour or so. But those days are past.

Having said that, things are on the up and up (For now. I hope). I'm doing better, and it's a new year. This is the time that people make vows and resolutions and get their shit together (or at least try to). I don't really do the resolution thing, but I'm making a vow now. You guys will see the other king of resolution. I WILL finish Good Griff this year. I have a couple of sequels in mind too, but for now I just want to get this one finished. This is the longest story I've ever gotten down into the public before and I couldn't bear it if it never got finished. I don't know how long I'll be around these parts, but before I disappear into the aether, you will know what happens to Lazy Bones/Gilda/etc. This I vow. Anyone who's still stuck with me after all this time, holding out hope I'll get my worthless head out of my ass, this is for you. I won't let you down.

Happy 2018 to you Von! Will you be reacting to the MLP episodes again?

I will not. As I stated, my heart isn't in it anymore. And even if it was, my desktop, which was what I used for art/video making has been dead since September 2016, and I haven't had the money to replace the broken processor. But thanks for showing interest. You have no idea how much it helps to know that people care about the garbage I do.

Oh, here you are! Good to hear from you after all that time. :pinkiehappy:
Well, can't say that I'm not happy to hear that vow.
*slides back into the shadows to wait for the next chapter*

Ahh! Well how can I rest on my laurels with that bird face staring at me? :twilightsheepish:

hey good to see you back :twilightsmile:
please don't write because you feel obligated to do so. write because you have fun while doing so.
I mean yeah a new chapter would be swell but don't force it.:twilightsmile:
so again glad to see you back:pinkiehappy:

I sure hope you do. I'd be delighted to see the story finished.

Well let's just say that my birthday is coming up and you can all expect a special present. ...That's how birthdays work, right? The person whose day it is gives gifts?
