    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

Can you handle 3MB of teaser pics? Cuz I've been sitting on some cover art for fanfics for a while now, and the pile's getting big enough to be downright uncomfortable. :pinkiecrazy:


Octavia by Haze


Twilight by The-Butcher-X, background/composition by yours truly


Applejack by Skunkiss, composition by moi

Now granted, it may be a bit before these all drop. But I haven't dropped, even if my output has a bit lately. I'll enjoy seeing past Writeoff fics one, two, and three make the jump to FimFiction pretty soon, and I hope you will as well. Gotta bring my story count for the year up from... two, apparently. :rainbowderp:

Speaking of things in the works, my longtime buddy and co-conspirator Moosetasm is working on the grand finale to his MLP 40K comedy/thriller I Love the Smell of Friendship in the Morning, which is also slated to drop "soon." Now's the perfect time to check it out and catch up! Nine out of ten caffeine-crazed Commissars agree it's hot and fresh, imminently drinkable, and with low acidity. (The tenth was summarily executed.)

Oh yeah: and there is another Skywalker tease. A bigger tease, because you don't get to see yet. :trollestia: It's for Bra Quest!, the EqG Limestone fic I did during a Writeoff last year. Captain Wuzz, a.k.a. the artist formerly known as Woolly, who also did the cover for Heavy Rock, just finished up its cover art today.

It's absolutely gorgeous. :rainbowkiss:

So we're about to get dumped on with fanfic covers? Looking forward to that. Does that mean we'll get a fanfic with each artwork? :rainbowlaugh:

No, sorry, it's only the art in the free-to-play version. The fics themselves are DLC.

I... forgot about Crisis... probably a mental self defense mechanism—yeah, that’s got to be it.

Smell of Friendship is soooo close. :derpyderp2:

I need to go through the edits, continuity and make sure she’s ready to go, hopefully by next week or the week after, then it’s DONE, finally.

4908462
Yeah, that is essentially what DLC looks like.

Art looks nice, write on!

I’m glad it looks interesting. :twilightsmile: Crisis in particular has taken an unnecessarily long road to completion. The original Writeoff version was drafted right near the start of my “interesting times” last year, and my clarity of vision about how to get it ready for FimFiction was pretty low. It was actually going to skew much darker until just recently, when I realized I was doing The Dumb with it. The concept isn’t serious, the character isn’t serious, the art is downright insane... yeah.

“Done” is such a beautiful word.

Until you go back six months later and spot the typo you and everybody else missed. :trollestia:

I wish you the best of luck. I sure need to get writing again

No. I can't handle 3 MB of teaser pics. Oh God! Too much pressure!

Well, as a guy with not the biggest mobile data plan myself, I know the pain of opening a page and nuking my limit. :derpytongue2:
