    What type of story is Dogs, anyway?

    I marked it as an Adventure, but that doesn't quite feel right. Sure, the Diamond Dogs are on an adventure into strange and foreign lands from their point of view, but does that count if they're treading ground with which the readers are already familiar? Since we're seeing the world through their eyes, I want this to feel like an adventure, but I'm not sure I've succeeded so far.

    Mare Doloris Ch. 18 edited

    One of my readers was helpful enough to point out that the narrator forgets about the audio evidence he gathered in the previous chapter.* After reviewing, I find I agree that he shouldn't have done that. I made some edits and added some dialogue to the latest chapter (18: "Convalescence") in an attempt to fix this

    Excerpt from a fic I was working on pre-fimfiction

    Sorry for the long lack of updates to both stories. By way of apology, and to try and get myself motivated again, I present an excerpt from an old, old fic I started working on way back between seasons 2 and 3. If you remember some of my old blog posts, this is from the HiE that got to around 90 pages before I decided it needed a rewrite. In this scene, the story's major villains, recently

    Unofficial Mare Doloris Theme Song

    If it was in a a different medium, each episode would close to this ditty by Bombadil. I could see parts of it applying to both principal characters in different ways.

    Readers: Does Spirits Need a Dark Tag?

    After I published chapter eleven of The Spirits of Harmony, reader Majk commented to say:

    I'm really having a blast reading this story but methinks it deserves a dark tag. All that mindbucking done by spirits is kinda grim and gets more scary the more you think about it (but that could be just me).

    as to what was most disturbing:

The big C · 2:17am Oct 27th, 2012

Well, my first story has just received its 100th unique view! I'm very grateful to all my readers for taking the time to check out this little fanfic, and especially to those of you who are enjoying it enough to vote it up or add it to your favorites.

If you'd like to give me feedback, please feel free. I notice that the number of readers dropped off sharply after chapter 3, yet, to my surprise, noone to date has disliked it enough to downvote. Is that normal? Have I achieved some perfect balance of mediocrity where you don't want to read anymore, but not so much you'd throw the story roughly against the wall, were it in a book instead of on your computer? I'm really curious about this.

Whatever the case, the fifth chapter is nearly done; expect it out no later than tomorrow.
