    Fic recs, April 22nd: Jordan179 edition

    Once again, though a good bit late, I bring it upon myself to memorialize an author via reviews of their stories. Though this time, it's different, as I had no connection to Jordan179 and only learned of his passing (three years ago this month, coincidentally), from this post

    Another post about video games and Youtube and stuff

    If I'm going to waste time watching shit on Youtube, the least I can do is tell people about it. :P

    Ceave is a crazy Austrian with a love of video games and a head for philosophizing about them. Plus he really, really hates coins, no matter how tasty they may look.

    Do you like video games? How about philosophy?

    I like one of those things for sure, but no one combines the two better than a Youtuber named InfernalRamblings, a former professional game developer who now creates hour and a half long video essays about the meanings of video games and how they relate to the world today. Here's a few highlights, since this is now basically my only

"I waited four months for THIS?" · 12:53pm May 24th, 2018

The next installment of The Princess's Captain is live! ...And short.


Look, when I started this story, I planned on it being just a silly thing for me to write at my leisure and use to explore the concept of romance. I didn't think anyone would care about it. :/ Then it went to the top of the wackybox and now it has watchers, which means people who will likely be disappointed that part 2 is only 3,000 Fimficwords long (meaning less than 3k in real-type words) and can't decide if it's a light-hearted comedy or a deep and serious drama.

I really hate disappointing people. It's why I never make promises.

But that, along with the simple fact that I don't write fast, not to mention I had to rewrite this story four times to make it work, is why it took so long to happen. TPC was supposed to be the story I noodled around with in between other, bigger projects.

Well, anyway, I hope people don't hate me too much for making you wait this long for this little. ._. The next one's gonna be a grand, sweeping adventure, and if I'm being honest? Part of the reason part 2 took so long is that I spent all that time really wanting to write part 3. So hopefully this won't take much longer.

Pfft, please. This got nothing on the sheer disappointment my readers must be feeling if when I ever update again.

Once or twice a year, I go through my Incompletes bookshelf looking for any stories that have gone more than a year without updating and remove them. Updates every four months? You, sir, are above average.

That's why I keep a backburner shelf. :B Anything that hasn't updated in a year gets thrown somewhere it won't clog up my unread chapters count. I don't get updates if they update, but I do see blogs posted with the stories tagged, and of course once a year I also check and see if anything there is complete. You'd be surprised at how many stories just this year have had their first update in two years!

No, just click the story link at the top of the blog post

I think that this last year or two has been tumultuous for a lot of people, oddly enough. I have so many projects that stalled out and I’m just getting back to now. And I’m not the only one... I wonder if there’s been a study or observation or anything regarding where everyone’s time went these last two years...

I know for a fact this is going to be the response to the next chapter for my fanfic Empathy.

I reeeeeally need to finish that.

All that matters is that you're doing this for yourself.

Yeah, and I have to keep telling myself that because I am really not confident at all D:

I don't mind the wait. I have like 67 stories in my tracking feed, so I am always supplied with new chaperts of some story or another. :pinkiehappy:
